    Does this tool work with Intel EFI BIOS? My new DQ77KB board doesn't like oa2intel.exe...

    Tried phoenixtool 2.11. SSV2 method gave error, not possible. Module method seems to have successfully added SLIC 2.1. Dynamic gave a warning about not found SLIC or something, but adding was "successful".

    I don't dare to flash it yet. cause I see 2 BIOS chips on board, 1x8MB + 1x 4MB. It looks difficult to recover using SPI device cause how are the 12MB BIOS divided, dunno. Once Intel Recover Jumper won't work, you can keep the board for later experiment.

    Is there any way to write a modified DSDT back to Gigabyte's UEFI Bios?

    have a question: a book has bios recognized as insyde/efi and on boot it shows ami-aptio, system bootblock is accessible over ctrl+Home on crisis (tested for fun:) and native flash utility refuses flashing with checksum failed after amibcp 4.53 after attempts to unlock bios. Don't want to /force things, but is there a tool for customization of ami-aptio efi/insyde bioses producing correct checksums? Anyone know amibcp (>4.53)/mmtool (>4.50) latest available? What else tools can customize this kind of aptio efi bios?
    thanx

    I have used the Structure button to insert SLP modules and Extract\Replace+HEX editor - to fix the RSDT\XSDT tables name

    I don't know the details tbh.... there are threads here somewhere.
    It is, the problem with some HPs is the BIOS is signed and therefore wont flash when modded

    Serg008:

    I've been searching some articles regarding how to mod the EFI BIOSes with the MMTool (2.0+ for EFI) and the Hex editor... so far I was only able to find how to extract and replace modules.

    I placed an order for a new Mobo and need to mod the BIOS. It's a Gigabyte Z77MX D3H V1.1. After using the PhoenixTool, I was able to dig through the DUMP folder but couldn't find anything in there even by using the Module method for a mod. Matter of fact is the Hex editor told me the original and modded BIOS files are identical.

    So I started to play with the MMTool. With a modded F14 BIOS posted here, done by you, I scanned it with the PhoenixTool, which it reported to me that it has found a pubkey, marker and a SLP support model. I extracted them using the MMTool and inserted them into the newer F15 BIOS. After scanning the Modded F15 BIOS, the tool reported back to me three modules I extracted are present in the newly modded F15 BIOS.

    I opened the extracted pubkey and marker BIN files, none of them looks like the SLIC dump I seen on the forum.

    My question is, am I doing it right? Or what I got here is a brick-guaranteed mod?

    I have searched left and right, but I couldn't find anything on these tougher-than-usual to mod BIOSes... We need your information, if you don't mind share with us :)
