I can't seem to locate a copy of MMTool 4.50.0.23 (required since this Shuttle is an Aptio 4). But I was able to use the UEFITool to open the original UEFI. I exported the microcode module body (17088572-377F-44EF-8F4E-B09FFF46A070.RAW) and manually patched the microcodes and updated the offsets (0x800 boundaries) and adjusted to original file size (124,928 bytes). Now it's time to test! Fingers crossed!
Updated UEFI BIOS mods to Intel microcode release 20190514 (SandyBridge 0x2F/IvyBridge 0x21). Get the UEFI BIOS mod here.
Hey, is your mod, with all hidden bios menus unlocked? Or is like stock one , very few options. My shuttle has a strange issue , no UEFI boot on Sata, no matter RAID or AHCI , but if i plug SSD into usb3 caddy , it boots uefi no issues . I want to flash your modded bios , in hope i can get unlocked menus and uefi boot working again
Sorry, no unlocked menus. You can use AMIBCP 4.x to open and unlock the menus yourself. FWIW, I don't have any issue booting with UEFI to either my SATA HDD or NVMe SSD (on a PCIe NVMe card). Perhaps your internal drive is not partitioned as GPT?
Some small updates: Upgraded SH67_TNA.ROM to use the latest NvmExpressDxe_5 module Removed the obsolete SH67_TNV.ROM Also the Ivy Bridge microcode and VBIOS have been verified working. I upgraded from an Intel Core i5-2500K to an Intel Xeon e3-1275 v2! Also worth noting is the SH67H3 does not support ECC registered memory despite the memory controller being in the Xeon CPU.
But, first off just want to say congrats, on your perseverance figuring this out! Also, since I'm a newbie trying to figure out how package/apply non approved BIOS is where I'm at. I do understand the Standard flash.bat and SH67 files how it gets installed, but from there I'm stuck in infinite rabbit hole loop figuring out the pieces parts, and what tools to use in order to package and flash as non approved bios upgrade. Downloaded your tested ROM's file: SH67H000.206_Multi_Mod.rar and extracted & reviewed all their directories/structures. Plan is to skip the CPU upgrade ROMs, since I'll stay with my i7-3770, use the M.2 NVMe/AHCI per your SH67_TNA.ROM, if that's possible? For now, I'll keep using as non-bootable storage. If you have any pointers how to proceed would be appreciated! Thanks
Thanks for the comeback! Yes, kept circling back to the Flash.bat file on my research. Okay, so here's my Re-Cap of yesterday's BIOS update and review. Unfortunately, first bootup off the USB flash drive, font display went large! Bummer, my old 17" monitor cutoff the first 3 character on the left. Went ahead and typed in the F_TNA.bat and let it rip. Besides the cutoff on the left, It did run fast and may have missed errors that scrolled past? Seems successful, unless the following is not correct? Once applied, I assume that "PATA SS:" is for the PCIe card? "Hard Disk Drive BBS Priorities" [ PATA SS: ] I'm at the point, need to load an OS to validate.
Yes, the "PATA SS" is the Hard Drive target for the PCIe M.2 NVMe...but more in like a legacy mode (which is non-bootable IIRC). To install a fresh OS to the NVMe, you need to boot your DVD in UEFI mode. Press F7 and IIRC one of the UEFI targets will be the DVD's OS name. If you pick the DVD hardware name, then it's in legacy mode and won't install to the NVMe. Once the OS is installed in UEFI mode, you may have to go back into the UEFI (i.e. BIOS menu) and set the UEFI as the first in the boot order.
Just curious, but why did you opt for the SATA (600MB/s) over the NVMe PCIe 3.0 (3000-3500MB/s)? Did you already have an m-SATA drive available or was it purely a cost issue?
