Asus Sabertooth Z77 I have an Asus Sabertooth Z77 BIOS 2104 (9/16/2013) running Yosemite 10.10.2 via clover in UEFI fine except nvram stuff isn't working so after research I find this post and I want to fix things like the NVidia web driver not being on when I boot up etc. and normal methods that worked on my old MLB don't work on this one to make it stay enabled at boot up. With that in mind I have a few questions. Can I download the bios file from ASUS and patch it directly or must I extract my bios file directly from my MLB? Should this fix my NVRAM issues with this MLB? Should the utilities work ok from my current running hackintosh (saw a few posts saying Yosemite issues) or should I dust off the old MacBook running Tiger I would greatly appreciate if someone running a Sabertooth Z77 with a patch 2104 would respond or anyone in the know about this stuff. Thanks
I have a desktop that came with W8.1 Core. I replaced with W8.1 Pro but did not keep the product key for the Core install. Is there a way to use one of these tools to extract the product from uefi bios? Edit. Hp 700-300xt.
Got it~ thx one question: after flashed the patch uefi bios. nullcpupowermanagement.kext is no more required when booting when clover ?
@mictlan, why could it be? I have no interest in OSX anymore, because it just works in VM, so I don't need to play with hackintosh. That BIOS is just an another AMI AptioV, nothing more.
CodeRush what EPROM programmer you recommend for programming Ozmosis alot, have messed a few boards up because of testing different things
@bosshogs, no, I don't have it. @akcent, write me a PM about how it must work for you, the more explanations - the better.
Hi, All ! Tell me, please, can I take the ME region, which is protected, without SPI Programmer? I tried several soft for this (Intel FPT, Copernicus, Chipsec), tried to use InsydeFlash with creation backup existing rom. In all cases i received ME Region, filled with 0x00 or 0xFF...
