    Hi

    Created this account just for this

    I have an E7440 with a bricked bios, I put one of two (?) files into the tool and it said it was an EFI/Insyde bios.
    I don't how to check what to name the file and how to put the computer into the recovery mode.
    Can anybody help?

    yep sure do-I never use it (I went digital like the cool kids and let microsoft and nfc chip save my time)but I thought he might have better luck with the proper current tools as deskmeet b660 is 13th gen goodness on a mostly unlocked bios still in manufacturing mode-most modders jump all over that

    now let me ask you a question "does the sum of your bios skills revolve around slic motification only?"

    I threw the extra stuff in my reply to OP fishing for someone to have a suggestion on modding ban unlocked newer bios for pcie 5.0 support and/or why my x16 slot isnt maxxed

    nope I get the slic question when I was modding bios for slic BEFORE andys amazing timesaving tool-people on these forums seem to only want to brag about 10 year gone
    bios skills but the dream remains as I am finally stumped by lenovo insyde bios,modding it for nvme and then bypassing RSA bulls**t
    cant figure out the last part-Ill brag about your skills from the tallest mountain if you have the answer my problem lol

    Can you insert the slic table using the intel tool mentioned on the Win-Raid forum?
    I can insert the slic table using MMTOOLS and etc, but I'm having trouble rewriting the XSDT and RSDT tables.

    That's why I'm using the phoenix tool for the sample and asking this thread.

    Always remain ALASKAA M I .
    I don't know what to rewrite.
    Can you show me the GUID?

    Your writing is not specific.

    Can anyone familiar with ASUS BIOS and PhoenixTool 2.7.3 provide any tips on how to solve the "No SLP2 module" error in modern BIOSes (e.g. Z690, B660, Z790, B760, etc.)?

    I'm using "New Module", "SLPSUPPORT2.MOD" is selected but to no avail. This has worked 100% on older BIOS but not recent ones.

    What I see is that GUID "A1902AB9-5394-45F2-857A-12824213EEFB" is missing but another GUID "9E21FD93-9C72-4C15-8C4B-E77F1DB2D792" contains the SLIC file:

    Z590M OK: Full SLIC table found in A1902AB9-5394-45F2-857A-12824213EEFB_613.ROM at 13D0
    B660 Not OK: Full SLIC table found in 9E21FD93-9C72-4C15-8C4B-E77F1DB2D792_50.ROM at 625484
    B760M Not OK: Full SLIC table found in 9E21FD93-9C72-4C15-8C4B-E77F1DB2D792_42.ROM at 798394

    Is there a way to tell PhoenixTool to replace the different module with the SLP2 module?

    Thanks!

    Has anyone found any solution to the above? I still can't find a way to add SLIC to recent ASUS BIOSes due to the above GUID change. What can we do to add the SLIC to the new module?

    Thanks for trying - that is quite bizarre. Anyway, tried to reproduce with the BIOS you mentioned:

    Downloaded "PRIME-B660-PLUS-D4-ASUS-3010.CAP". Is this the version you tried? Or maybe much older?

    PhoenixMod 2.73 from here
    Manufacturer: ASUS
    SLIC file: Dell 2.6 SLIC binary from here
    Key file: KEY.TXT as included
    Method: New Module

    Main points from log here.

    OEM/Table IDs identified are:

    SLIC digital signature valid
    Are you SURE you want to modify without a RW Everything report <- Yes

    I've attached the full log. Can you see any differences in what you are doing and what I am doing?

    AFAIK seems clear it is not finding "A1902AB9-5394-45F2-857A-12824213EEFB" as per PhoenixTool docs but "9E21FD93-9C72-4C15-8C4B-E77F1DB2D792" instead that it does not modify.

    I've also tried:

    1st BIOS release: "PRIME-B660-PLUS-D4-ASUS-0418.CAP" -> same error, no SLP2 found

    Method: Module -> Error: Unable to resize Firmware Volume
    Method: Dynamic -> Error: Module count mismatch
    Method: DMI -> Error 9: Index was outside bounds of array
    Method: Code -> Error: Unable to add SLIC code

    The only one left is Method: NVRAM for that I need to dump the actual BIOS and modify it and then find a way to flash it back - likely with programmer.
