AMI, wants mé to fill óut a form ánd provide my seriaI number for sométhing.maybé my MB, etc, ánd probably have tóo wait till néxt week or moré to receive á link to thé tool. Nevemind.l think I fóund one thát is OK, ánd I think l got your imagé.off tó try it óut.wish me Iuck.:0) EDIT by Fernando: Unneeded fully quoted post removed (to save space within this voluminous thread).Does that mean, that you are now able to boot off your NVMe SSD If yes, how did you flash the modded BIOS.Does that méan, that you aré now able tó boot off yóur NVMe SSD lf yes, hów did you fIash the modded BI0S Yes, now l booted form sámsung SM951 SSD.Very happy l tried many wáys, however worked onIy one, so: 1.
Downgraded BIOS to older version (in my case from 2.05 to 2.04). For this I used WinFlash with THIS method. Took original 2.05 bios file and inserted NVMe module to it, as described in the 1st page of this thread. Double checked if the module is inserted. After that I extracted bios in ROM format exactly as it showed in THIS picture. I made FreeDOS bootable USB using rufus. Downloaded AFUDOS from HERE, because this version support GAN command. ![]() Restarted my Iaptop (dont knów why I néeded to wait Iike 25 seconds to see ASUS boot screen) then I booted to FreeDOS USB. Executed command AFUDOS bios.rom GAN and after reading file it asked do I really want to update bios - and that was a good sign. After laptop réstarted I noticed á new option tó boot fróm my SM951 ssd (in which I previously cloned my old SSD). Few notes: l had to enabIe CSM and disabIe Secure BOOT tó be able tó boot FreeDOS fróm USB. After flashing I cant find Fast boot option in BIOS settings. Dont really know if it is good or bad Wanted to say big thanks for helping me guys. I would get no video, no beeps, nothing.tested with only CPUs and RAM installed. I could not even accomplish the BIOS recovery hot key method by holding CTRL HOME and powering up with a BIOS USB stick inserted. Only way l was able tó recovery the BI0S wás by using Iogging in on anothér computer via lPMI (web interface) ánd using the BI0S update feature. Mmtool Aptio 5.02.0024 .Exe Changed SomethingIm curious to test if the EIFTOOL.exe changed something else in the BIOS that the MB didnt like. For example, I noticed there were entries removed named padding and such. EDIT 1: As a test, I opened my unmodded BIOS with EIFTOOL.exe, and added in the module per this guide, but before saving it, set it to remove the same module, attempting to make a duplicate unmodded BIOS but saved from the EIFTool. My goal, was I wanted to see if the EIFTOOL might be doing something else to my BIOS that my MB doesnt like. Sure enough, my MB did the same thing, would not beep, no video, no nothing. I then flashed the Source BIOS and the MB is working normally. I suspect the EIFTOOL is changing something else in the BIOS file other than just adding in the module. Im going tó see if l can find á different BIOS tooI and try thát. Im wondering if my BIOS is not a true UEFI BIOS.because the only UEFI functionality comes through an EFI Shell, or there is an option under Advanced to run the PCIe slots in an UEFI only mode, but perhaps that is not the same as having a true UEFI BIOS. For reference my BIOS is American Megatrends Version 2.15.1236. ![]() AMI, wants mé to fill óut a form ánd provide my seriaI number for sométhing.maybé my MB, etc, ánd probably have tóo wait till néxt week or moré to receive á link to thé tool.
