I have modded the BIOS for my ASUS P6T Deluxe V2 board with little confusion on my part. Now I'd like to mod the UEFI BIOS for an ASUS P8Z77-V board. Phoenix tool v2.14: When I load a fresh d/l'd BIOS v1805 I get Info popups: 1. Recovery file names: Z77VB.CAP; APTC022.ROM 2. Complete SLIC (2.0) (AMI OEMSLIC ) (x1) Then, I load the ASUS SLIC file (ASUS.BIN) pointed to by Phoenix tool from within its folder. Then, I load the ASUS SLP file (ASUS.txt) again pointed to from within its folder. Then I load the certificate ASUS-_ASUS_-2.1.XRM-MS from the file: SLIC 2.1 BINS 1-31-2011.7z. Or, I load the same ASUS.xrm-ms file that I used to activate Win7 on my ASUS P6T Deluxe V2 board. In either case, I get the following info popup: Complete SLIC (2.0) (AMI OEMSLIC ) does not match certificate (x1): ASUS.BIN Matches certificate. I am really having trouble understanding how the mod of a UEFI BIOS is accomplished. But, I think that Phoenix tool is telling me that I need an ASUS SLIC 2.1 for my board. Or, I need a certificate and BIN file to match the SLIC file. Can anyone give me some guidance on this?
Thanks zdenek for your response. It seems that I need the answer "dumbed down" for me, so that I can understand what is required. As I reload the items into Phoenix Tool, nowhere do I find a way to relate "Use directory "OEM" from Phoenix 2.14" to what is happening with the Phoenix Tool. Sorry for being so dense.
Ok, I use a mb Asus P8Z77-V-LX and always from the 801 bios version until the 1701 I modded the bios files with Andy tool, dynamic mode, without problems. After I flashed with the Asus EZ2 bios flash program. All the answers from the Andy tool are correct: the Asus AMI bios has the Slic 2.0 you load the Asus Slic file from the andy tool folder. And also this is ok After you verify with a Asus2.1.xrm-ms certificate and this off course match the asus.bin with slic 2.1 and not the slic 2.0. The last command you must give is GO and the tool produce a file P8Z77V-SLIC. CAP that is the modded bios with SLIC2.1 After this you can flash your mb. Make carefully all the operations and be aware: I used Always to buy a spare bios chip (about 7-8 euro) it is socket mounted on the mother board, but until last 1701 bios never been any problem. I had problems with the last bios version 1801 for my motherboard, the P8Z77-V-LX: during the flash operation -> security problem and the flashing operation stopped without problems fot the mb.
Thanks patrik, OK, I think that I understand what needs to be done now. I was afraid to do what you're telling me, but that was the only way I could see to go. I needed to be told that it was OK to do. This board has a v1606 BIOS. It seems to have no problems so far. I will d/l and mod that version to avoid potential problems. You have to allow for the fact that I am 70 yrs old. I can usually get things figured out. But, this was throwing me. Thanks again both zdenek and patrik for your help on this.
