<![CDATA[Bios Mods - The Best BIOS Update and Modification Source - Motherboard Help Requests]]> https://www.bios-mods.com/forum/ Sat, 02 May 2026 08:21:13 +0000 MyBB <![CDATA[[REQUEST] ASRock X470 Master SLI a/c]]> https://www.bios-mods.com/forum/Thread-REQUEST-ASRock-X470-Master-SLI-a-c Sat, 25 Apr 2026 11:55:47 -0400 ryliea]]> https://www.bios-mods.com/forum/Thread-REQUEST-ASRock-X470-Master-SLI-a-c I have a X470 Master SLI a/c which is bricked after a BIOS update.

I've been successful in trying to hook up my CH341A + 1.8v adapter to the BIOS_PH pinout and can read the BIOS chip (MX25U25643G 1.8v, 256, 32MB)

However I forgot to dump the bricked BIOS out and flash the Instant Flash image from ASRock website, which I guess is missing the descriptor + AMD PSP, now I'm stuck with no other way around.

Does anyone have a full dump of a working unit, or any dump of the ASRock X470 family for stitching is okay  Sad

Any help is appreciated  Big Grin

P/S: Apparently all the Instant Flash BIOS file from ASRock website does have AMD PSP at 0x0020000, but even after successfully programmed and verified it still not POST]]> I have a X470 Master SLI a/c which is bricked after a BIOS update.

Below is exactly what I did, what I’ve already tested, and the current situation.
✅ What I did
Made a full BIOS dump from a working system using AFUWINx64 v3.09.03.1462 (8DAA36.bin).
Opened it in AMIBCP v4.53 and unlocked hidden menus under:
Advanced → CPU Configuration
Chipset → North Bridge / DIMM Information
Memory Configuration / Timing Control
Changed all relevant entries to Show = Yes and Access/Use = User.
Flashed the edited file with AFUWIN (BIOS-region only).
After flashing, the board failed to POST: debug LED 71 / B4, no display, keyboard LEDs on, no USB activity.
⚠️ What I tried afterwards
USB recovery attempts
Several pendrives prepared with HP USB Disk Storage Tool (FAT32, 4096 byte clusters).
Filenames tested: AMIBOOT.ROM, AMIBIOS.ROM, X79A6005.ROM.
Key combos tested: Ctrl + Home, Alt + F2.
Behavior:
Without keys → codes loop (60 → 67 → 71 → 60…).
With keys held → stops at 71 (no USB LED activity).
Tried multiple USB 2.0 rear ports → same result.
Hardware inspection
CMOS cleared, battery reinserted.
POST behavior unchanged → still stops at 71.
Verified hardware health
CPU (E5-2690 v2) tested and fully working in another board.
RAM (8 × 16 GB ECC REG PC3-14900R) tested, stable elsewhere.
NVMe drive boots fine on this board with stock BIOS, so NVMe support is confirmed.
? Current status
BootBlock responds to key combo (Ctrl + Home) → so partial USB init works.
But it cannot read the recovery file, likely due to restricted BIOS USB stack.
Board currently stuck at POST 71 with the modded ROM.
External reflash (CH341A + SOIC8 clip) will be used next.

? What I’m requesting
Could anyone please make a clean, stable modded BIOS for the latest official Huananzhi X79-8D (AA361) version with:
Full Advanced / Chipset menus unlocked
Memory Timing & Voltage control (tCL, tRCD, tRP, tRAS, Command Rate, DRAM voltage)
Microcode update for E5-2690 v2
Full ECC REG 8-DIMM compatibility fix
(Optional) Improved NVMe DXE module
I can share both my BIOS dump and the latest stock ROM from Huananzhi for modding and will test and report results.

Latest bios from Lenovo
https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/downloa...centre-e73

i had followed this guide:
https://github.com/xCuri0/ReBarUEFI/wiki...G-decoding

However I have done none of the associated material detailed here:
https://github.com/xCuri0/ReBarUEFI?tab=readme-ov-file

As the way that is worded suggests that linux will handle the rest once 4G-Decoding is enabled.

What other information do I need to provide?

Assuming I have posted everything that can help. I want to know what other mods are possible with a bend towards getting more performance out of the hardware. I realize the platform is thirteenish years old, but 'well the worst I can get back is either silence or 'there's nothing more that can be done.'

Edit: As a note, the wifi/bluetooth combo card I have installed works (as far as I can tell) well, there are no hiccups as far as i can see. I mostly just want to see what can be done to push things a little further either to get better bus speeds out, figuring out what the best CPU to install, anything that might be worth knowing that isn't on lenovo's official specs sheet.

https://psref.lenovo.com/syspool/Sys/PDF...F_Spec.PDF]]> I 'THINK' i know a thing or two, but I will come here acting like I know nothing since I don't know if what I think I know is useful or not.

Latest bios from Lenovo
https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/downloa...centre-e73

i had followed this guide:
https://github.com/xCuri0/ReBarUEFI/wiki...G-decoding

However I have done none of the associated material detailed here:
https://github.com/xCuri0/ReBarUEFI?tab=readme-ov-file

As the way that is worded suggests that linux will handle the rest once 4G-Decoding is enabled.

What other information do I need to provide?

Assuming I have posted everything that can help. I want to know what other mods are possible with a bend towards getting more performance out of the hardware. I realize the platform is thirteenish years old, but 'well the worst I can get back is either silence or 'there's nothing more that can be done.'

Edit: As a note, the wifi/bluetooth combo card I have installed works (as far as I can tell) well, there are no hiccups as far as i can see. I mostly just want to see what can be done to push things a little further either to get better bus speeds out, figuring out what the best CPU to install, anything that might be worth knowing that isn't on lenovo's official specs sheet.

I hope this is the right category!

Hello. I got an A55BM-K motherboard with an A10-6800K APU, and its UEFI (Aptio 4) contains two VBIOSes for two kinds of integrated graphics in APUs. Attached below (EDIT: Attachments don't seem to work, what else can I do?) is the one that gets used for my APU (Trinity), along with the full capsule file if needed (it's the latest version for this mobo btw, Version 2002 and its easy to download from ASUS, vBIOS (9901) is easy to extract with UBU).

I'm interested on compatibility with older software. System features VESA v3, and oddly enough the implementation seems actually correct other than a couple programs (such as Kgen98) freaking out or rejecting the "unknown" version number 3 lol. Otherwise, it even still supports 8bit display modes, or both 15 and 16bit modes, LFB...
The major issue is that there's no (graphic mode) screen resolutions below 640x400. Take NO$GMB, it's meant to run at 512x384 in graphic mode.
I tried many different MSDOS TSRs to bring these resolutions back, none of them work right (with "incomplete" or no visible changes), but according to symphtoms I think they might have something in common: They attempt to edit the VBIOS loaded at RAM, but can't write changes.

I mean, if this option exists in the world at all, then I guess this is what vendors do by default; except I get no option to control it.
[Image: WClmpAz.png]
(image from google, ignore the green rectangle; I'm seeing a Cache Video BIOS area option that I don't have, couldn't find it with AMIBCP either, but like I said, it's very likely that due to write-protect it causes these TSRs to function incompletely)


If I'm not mistaken, I think this leaves me with two options:
- Find which UEFI module applies write protect to ATOMBIOS, and disable the module or the part that locks the RAM area (if I can). If my theory is correct, that should allow UniVBE to work (adds the lower resolutions I ask for).
- (Probably easier; names taken from AtomDis) Edit the VESA_ToInternalModeLUT/StandardVESA_Timing tables (and fix checksum afterwards); I don't need 4:3 resolutions above 1024x768 (16:9 ones doesn't seem to come from this (or any) table, but rather from Windows driver), so I'd overwrite them rather than redirect the pointer to a new table at the end of file, because I only got a very small free area from 0xF1BC to 0xF1FF. The end result besides new resolutions is that VBIOS remains write-protected; some games did bundle UniVBE with them, but someone from Vogons posted a tool to disable it (no prob).
But... how do I deal with the pixel clocks? What is the formula?

Somehow, I'd like the system to run at:
- 320x200
- 320x240
- 512x384
at 8/15/16/32 bit modes.

Thanks in advance.]]> EDIT: Would it be enough if I simply removed "LegacyRegion" module? because the legacy region protocol is made to disable write-protect to certain areas, and only that, correct?

One long beep followed by one short beep.

i tried using the AMI Mod Tool / AWARD Mod Tool but the app keeps saying it's not a AMI / Award Bios. so i tried using the Pheonix / Insyde Mod Tool and to my suprise it was read by it...

my only question now is what type of bios name and files should i put since both apps wasn't really helping, I only get the ff from Phoenix / dell / efi slic mod

Oem / Table IDs identified are:
1. ACRSYSACRPRDCT
Pubkey (x1)
Marker (2.1) (ACRSYSARPRDCT) (1x)

Update: after using AMIBCP i found out it's an Aptio Bios, not Insyde. but still the question remains how do i recover it?]]>
