    1) Is the module compressed in the original?? There is code that prevents an uncompressed module being replaced with a compressed one.
    2) I have just inserted 2 modules into a test EFI, one after the other, with no problems. Could you link to specific efi and modules??

    After I inserted slic 2.1 the bios of my asus P8Z68-V Pro mobo using Phoenixtool everthing works fine, with the exeception of sleep mode under Linux. In Win7 it works OK. Going back to the original bios doesn't solve the problem.

    I even downgraded to an earlier bios, modded or not, but that didn't help. The problem must be on bios level. Any suggestions?

    Well you've worked out it's not related to the mod by going back to the unmodded bios, looks like its a bios problem, shoot off an email to ASUS tech support. Sometimes sleep issues are resolved by changing from S1+S3 to just S3 or S1 and do use a sleep state, not just Auto, so if it's on Auto change to S3.

    What I have done is disconnect everything including disks, drives and booting from an usb flash, that worked OK. So the problem must be in the bios. All settings are default.

    I guess that somewhere in the process of updating or downgrading of the bios something has gone wrong, probably with part of the bios that is not present in all bios updates, like the orom. What I need is a way to completely overwrite the whole bios. Also resetting the cmos and removing the cmos battery have not helped.

    Just like to thank andyp for this tool. For the past 3 days I couldn't find out anywhere what file name to use for an Acer Aspire 5334 using an Insyde BIOS.

    Thanks to this tool I now know that it's PAWF5x64.fd.

    Cheers.

    Hi ! Andy and all good guys

    For AMI aptio/EFI bios, is the tool needed the RW everything report for mod bios ?

    I find when I mod the bios WITHOUT the RW everything report, the following part will be generated in the log.

    OEM/Table IDs identified are:
    1. _ASUS_Notebook
    Pubkey (x1)
    Marker (2.1) (_ASUS_Notebook) (x1)

    But, if I I mod the bios WITH the RW everything report, the above part WILL NOT be found in the log.


    For Mod AMI aptio/EFI bios, MUST the RW everthing report be needed ?

    In fact, should the log include "OEM/Table IDs identified are: ...." in the SUCCESSFULL modded bios ?

    Thanks Andy for your great works !

    Hi!

    I normaly mod ASUS EFI bioses like this:

    Manufacturer: ASUS
    SLIC: ASUS
    SLP: ASUS
    RW: flash the original bios and then created with RM-Everything
    Method: Dynamic

    successfully in P8Z68 - V PRO and P8Z68 DELUXE

    Now i have a K53SC and N53SV, ill do the same but with the module method?

    here is the tool log:

    LZMA compression method used
    Recovery filenames are:

    K53SC.bin
    Pubkey found in 62B35DC0-427C-46BB-9E88-9B941FDBC7C3_0_398.ROM at 4
    Pubkey found in A22E25DC-1277-47B8-A59C-DA1344F4A111_0_396.ROM at 4
    Marker found in E2463050-CE2A-4F3C-BA8F-A738AC66999B_0_400.ROM at 4
    'SLIC' string found in 9EF04158-EB39-4EFF-A8DA-B75119BAC9F4_1_393.ROM at 8C3
    OEM/Table IDs identified are:
    1. _ASUS_Notebook
    Pubkey (x2)
    Marker (2.1) (_ASUS_Notebook) (x1)

    Another question is i use a modded bios from the web my MAC address will change?, if that the case, How can i recover my original MAC address?

    Thanks!

    Howdy Andyp and experts around!
    I'd like know if there's anyway to replace the bootlogo in my bios - Acer 5738G - Phoenix Bios. Would be a nice add on to the tool andyp! Also, got an HP DM1-3250BR.. I'd like to unlock the hidden options menu to be able to use a SSD from OCZ.. It requires SATA mode configured as IDE instead of AHCI and I heard only that the only way to mess with it is enabling that hidden menu. It's hard to implement something like that in your tool Andyp?
    Anyway, again, Thank you very much for you tool and nice to see you still using the avatar I've made to you ;)
