I have the Asus P8P67 plain board and modded the 1253 bios with the 1.73b4 dynamic mode. Flash was a success and I was able to activate. I have the gskill 2 x 4g 1333 modules and I have not tried to mess with the memory settings yet. I used bupdater. Thanks Andy!!!!
" working H67 ASUS and the bricking P67. They are virtually identical." Hi, Andy, Ok, I just compared your SLICed file A1902AB9-5394-45F2-857A-12824213EEFB_1_256.ROM from DUMP directory with A1902AB9-5394-45F2-857A-12824213EEFB_1_271.ROM file from DUMP directory of the guy from China's site bios.cn.. I found 3 differences: first two are OK coz they do the same, BUT why do you change 74 from offset E1F to EB ??? Offsets: hexadec. E16: 75 90 ;OK E17: 00 90 ; OK E1F: 74 EB ; ??? 3 difference(s) found. So, In his file: 00000E1E: 01740C add [si][00C],si 00000E21: 48 dec ax In your file: 00000E1E: 01EB add bx,bp 00000E20: 0C48 or al,048 ;'H'
Right... i have found the problem. the tool does patch the right code but in the 1.8b7 bios the search string is too specific so it doesn't patch the first jmp again it NOPs rather than JMP short $+2 the second thing and it does something else that probably isn't needed - so i've removed it. 1.7b5 soon Andy
Hi That disassembly isn't right... use 64bit... it comes out ok in ida 75 00 = JMP short $+2 90 90 = nop nop same thing I patch one more jmp that may result in slic table not being inserted given that the memory speed setting seems to happen when the 75 00 is done and it seems to vary amongst bioses i'm not sure its my method but will make b5 only do the first one for a test Andy
Outstanding problems Am i correct in saying these are the outstanding problems: 1) Why P8P67 PRO bricks with SSV2 - are there any other ASUS boards that brick with a SSV2 mod done with v1.72+ 2) BenQ dynamic lock 3) Integrating _C00 modules (from Yen) Anything else?? Andy
P8P67-M PRO, used 173b5, cpu voltage control and memory speed setting are still broken. Flashed back to the original and all back to normal.
