Hi ! Andy and Serg008 Confirmed working: Model: MSI H61M-P31 (G3) Version: 2.3 / 2.4 Tool: phoenixtool 1.98 Mode: Dynamic Under first release 1.98, the original 2.3 's M-flash bios CAN use the mod 2.3 bios file in USB as a file to boot. But, under latest 1.98, I find the original 2.4 bios's M-flash CANNOT use the mod 2.4 bios file in USB as a file to boot. Is it the Mod including M-flash module under latest 1.98 tool ? I think M-flash is the greatest feature to make the testing of Mod UEFI-bios in a safe way (not get M/B brick) The loss of this feature is a bit wasting. Thanks very much andyp for your excellent work and Serg008. nel1156
Andy, I had that said issue. I had moded my Asus P8Z77-V Pro's v0906 BIOS with phoenixtool 1.98 (dynamic mode, no RW report, selected ASUS.BIN) but it failed the security verification in EZ Flash. Anyway it could be flashed with ASUS BIOS Flashback function. I moded it again with different ways. I ticked the box "Don't alter any ACPI tables" and unticked "Replace all OEM/Table ID occurences" in advanced option. It works great. It can be flashed in either Asus update or EZ Flash II. Furthermore, I didn't picked the SLP file for modification, just SLIC 2.1 file only. As i know, ASUS Z77 series mobos have that issue. I am willing to try test version as my mobo has bios flashback function and won't be bricked. *It's also successful in latest bios version 1015.
Hi ! Andy and All good guys In Intel site, Intel releases the OA3 Tool for Intel® Integrator Toolkit 5.0. It is so amazing that the M/B manufacturer releases the tool to public. I think it may provide some useful hints for the recent change of AMI Aptio UEFI-bios structure. nel1156
I am currently trying to RE how the MSDM table is made in for an ASUS P8Z77 WS firmware ver 601, looking at module A1902AB9-5394-45F2-857A-12824213EEFB (MSOA), I find sub_180000348 at first I thought it was grabbing the public key for the SLIC, but I'm starting to think that this module is signed. a second opinion would be great.
I also tried patching module 97AF1D95-203C-42DE-8D6B-D13EB7E5A55A for an ASUS P8Z77 WS fw ver 601 no other modifications just replaced the module with the patched one, two short beeps after flashing.

Thanks. Good thought. As you say, there must be some sort of check on that (and perhaps the other) modules Will keep looking :L Andy
my first try I left, remove vendor specific locks checked and it flashed and booted into Windows fine, so changes to MSOA don't pose a problem. What would be involved with replacing MSOA with a simple SLIC injector?
Thats effectively what the module method is for EFI If the 4Cxxx module doesn't exist it will be added (this effectively injects a SLIC) Andy
just for fun I'd like to try to write a replacement module for MSOA any desirable features you would like to see?
Dear Andy, I will be getting MSI H61M-P20 motherboard soon. Which method i should use? Module or Dynamic? Kindly answer me soon. Thanks in advance. Manu
