Fifnd a similar motherboard from the same manufacturer that supports X6 (similar hipset perferred) and then we can replace the AGESA into this BIOS and test it.

doing something with it?

[TheWiz]

Yeah I believe it will work, I will try to complete the mod asap.

Shoud I do something to help you to the mod of this bios?

Thank you so much for your patience. Assuming your donor supports X6, I have integrated support by updating the AGESA in your BIOS from the donor as well as its microcode. In order to fit all these updates I did have to drop your network boot ROM, no big deal as the NIC will still function.

PLEASE flash at your own risk and have a good recovery plan for testing.

Thank U very much!

OMG!
sorry , TheWiz but worst news.

I've tested the modded bios, it's not working

During the post, it stops at postcode "6B38" at the right-low corner.

The ide devices detecting point not reached anymore.

Any ideas what went to wrong ?

(I've tried wit core flash, whole flash, reflash from original, etc. The backup with l2.26 is o.k. but the modded ones not.)Any other question:
the agesa code (not the modules, the textcodes in core bin) should be updated ,and the bios ver also ?

[TheWiz]

It must mean the donor BIOS used to transfer the AGESA has some incompatibility. Think you can find another donor? also, please return to stock BIOS for now.

I'll search for other donor...

I've been keeping up with your thread here.

MSI just updated the AGESA to K9N6PGM2-V2. It's based on the same chipset. It's a possible donor.

Here's the source of the file and i will upload it as well.

K9N6PGM2-V2. BIOS ver. 2.6

Thank you!
this donor:
AGESA.v3.7.1.0
CPU.AGESA.v3.13.71

TheWiz will work on it as I hope soon
