First off, thank you andyp for providing a really great tool! It is really amazing work! I have been playing around with these utilities (my computer is a dell optiplex 980, bios revision A09). I have a few questions (thank you everyone in advance for any information or pointers for me to look at that are provided): 1) is possible to obtain the same compression ratio when compressing one of the decompressed ROM files in the dump folder? So that an unmodified ROM that I compress using lzss-r.exe (for example) will be the same as the compressed version I pull out of the HDR? 2) If it is not possible with the utilities we have, could someone provide some advice on what I would need to do do to achieve this? (I would share with the community if I can get it working) 3) How can I tell what utility to use to compress these files? 4) What is the "manual PBE method", related to ssv2? JF
Hi ! buithoigian_vn Thanks for tips. Some guys pointed out the some versions of tool can mod the UEFI successfully while some versions of tool cannot mod. nel1156
thanks for the reply... a backup taken with asus bupdater? I have read about the NVRAM method that requires a "full backup" but never did find any instructions on how to do that.. I tried taking a backup with bupdater and pheonixtool said no NVRAM found in dump.
qtm you are awesome. that afudos tool was what I needed. the bupdater tool from asus has pretty much no options other than flash bios and backup bios... bupdater seems to only flash right over the existing bios, seeing as how the added slic module remained even after reflashing the unmodified bios. but the afudos tool actually erases the flash before it flashes so it removed the old crap. "afudos.exe <oembios>.rom /K" and I was back to factory! I did some googling to find a tool for such things and came up empty handed so thank you! I will add this tool to my other slic tools for future use! edit: other than the random crashes I have been having since I modded the bios with the "new module" method.. my onboard sound took a crap on me yesterday and I need to RMA the board so I am glad I could get rid of the bios mod. THANKS AGAIN!
