UEFI BIOS Repair Tutorial

[@phillwilson8916]

Brilliant video, I just got one of my motherboards working with your guide. I'd flashed the BIOS onto a chip but didn't realise I had to edit those details. Thank you!

[@5tormy13]

Super well done! This is like a week of research.

[@leonard_roy]

I really have to thank you for this very helpful tutorial. By your instructions i was able to repair my UEFI on my ASUS Z97-P Board. After i installed Vanguard (an anti cheat protection measure operating on windows kernel level for the recently released game Valorant by Riot) my computer was not able to display any video output or to power usb devices. my last option before buying a new board was to reflash the bios which surprisingly actually worked.

[@tdkxbalor9397]

Did it got corrupted by the game

[@leonard_roy]

@@tdkxbalor9397 i guess the corruption happened right after i restarted my pc. After installing valorant and it prompting that i need a reboot to Initialize vanguard which i did, the pc was no longer able to boot. Just a black screen and fans spinning without any sign of life.

[@tdkxbalor9397]

@@leonard_roy did you report it to the game Devs it can be serious problem if it happened due to the game

[@leonard_roy]

@@tdkxbalor9397 yea of course but the german riot support didnt bother. Seemed like they were too incompetent to understand the issue. Their final answer was that it simply is not possible for vanguard to corrupt a bios. I even wrote to some famous tech youtubers like ltt but never got a response. So afterwards i swore to myself to never install that bullcrap of a game ever again and thats that.

Hi, I have 2 Intel Tablets from year 2015 with identical hardware but diferent BIOS version and I´m trying to making work the Dump from one of them to the other one without succes, I already cleaned the TXE but there is no display, What can I do?

[@Denoan666]

Hi!! I have a Sager NP9870 (Clevo P80DM-G). When I bought it, years ago, it came with just one GTX 980M. So now I bought another GTX 980M in order to make them SLI. I asked for them to send it with 1617 ID but they sent me with 13D7 ID. So I couldn’t flash it right with the vbios from the older one using Nvflash. I forced with the Nvflash mismatch version and the bios chip got really messed up. So I bought spares from the same chip (MX25L2006EZNI - 12G) and spare one from the older plate (25Q20BT) and ended up dessoldering the chip from the new one and putting a 25Q20BT in the place (with the vbios from the older one flashed inside using CH341A SPI flasher). When the new 980M arrived, the notebook didn’t even started if I put it in the master slot. Now with this modification, it goes to the windows all right but I don’t get image (not even through HDMI). So the idea here is to have both cards with the same vbios and ID in order to make them SLI. The notebook bios recognize both cards but the windows just the older one (with the 1617 ID). What can I do to make this work as SLI? I have my notebook with windows 10, both cards (the 1617 one is already inside of course), SLI cable, both heatsinks and even that cooper plate that was hard to find (I have the two necessary units). I have the CH341A SPI flasher and adapters to use the right voltage. And I have a couple units from both chips (MX25L2006EZNI - 12G and 25Q20BT. The 25Q20BT is so much easier to solder and it is the same model that the older plate uses. And I tried a lot of the drivers version from Nvidia and nothing, even cleaning with DDU. Would you help me to make it work? Appreciate it and thanks in advance. I really hope you can guide me to get there and I don’t think I’m that far away!!

[@gentcali]

I also have a mini W25Q128FVPQ but I am having trouble with reading it with a EZP2019+ is it the reader or any problem with my placement or configuration?

[@emcgon]

I wonder would just reseating the flash IC have worked? That type of IC socket is low quality and inclined to cause poor connections when a bit of corrosion forms between the IC legs and the socket contacts (and the IC legs did looks a little grubby). Unless the contents of the flash had somehow become corrupt, its hard to see how a previously-working motherboard would suddenly stop working in a way that would require a BIOS upgrade to repair. Still, its interesting to see the procedure - thanks.

[@rdagger]

Great point! I should have tried reseating first. If I had not already returned the computer, I would test your theory. Thanks, I will make a note on my website write-up. Regardless I would still make a backup of the existing firmware while the chip was out to ensure copies of the relevant BIOS fields.

That’s what I figured too, but the Digital Storm computer was bought in January of 2017. Also the 5 year old computer I’m typing on now has an ASUS board with a socketed BIOS. Btw, in my previous BIOS recovery video I demonstrate how to access the firmware via a motherboard SPI header and also how to desolder a flash chip on a Dell board.

[@OntarioMiner]

Great Video. Can you do a Video on a board that needs a bios flash with bios chip with 1.7V to 1.95V requirements?

[@rdagger]

Sorry I don't have much free time these days. I recommend you take a look at the Adafruit level shifter: www.adafruit.com/product/757. They are relatively easy to use. You would connect the HV pin to 3.3 V on the Pi, and the LV pin would connect to a power supply generating 1.7 V to 1.95 V which could also power the flash chip. Then MOSI, MISO, CLK and CS from the Pi would be connected to the higher voltage side pins B1 - B4. Then the corresponding lower voltage pins A1 - A4 would be connected to the flash chip. You would also need to connect the grounds from the Pi, the flash chip and the power supply so they are common. There is a similar diagram of using a level shifter in my OpenOCD tutorial: www.rototron.info/circuitpython-nrf52840-dongle-openocd-pi-tutorial/ except there is no additional power supply because the target board is providing the lower voltage.

Great Tutorial, thanks! I've wondered when looking at regular BIOS chips in the past if execution starts at 0x000 or somewhere else in the ROM. I figure the BIOS is written in x86 assembly?

[@rdagger]

Legacy BIOS was written in assembly. One of the many benefits of UEFI BIOS is that it can developed mostly with the C programming language.

well there is no code to choose the execution location so I am guessingit starts at 0x000

Great video, my PC is stuck in a boot loop when I hit the power button, tries to start then cuts out and tries again. Quick question, in my situation would I bypass this solution if I simply replaced the BIOS chip? Any advice greatly appreciated

[@rdagger]

Flash chips are generally sold blank. You could not install a replacement without programming it. If your chip is socketed you should try reseating it because it might just be a bad connection. Your problem could very likely be other hardware such as the memory. I would test the memory, graphics cards and power supply before reprogramming the BIOS. Also examine the motherboard for any bad caps.

[@UNIQUE1982]

@@rdagger thank you for replying. I initially got a message stating "WARNING, BIOS recovery mode detected" and it asked for P9X79PRO.rom. I downloaded the file and tried to use the flash usb port and button on the back of the PC and now it is stuck in the boot loop.

Good day, can you helpme ? My problem is the following: I bought a Chinese laptop with GN117_MB_V31-T board. (Aptio Setup Utility 2021) (There is no info for that board). And I want to change the logo of the bios. I have used Aptio_V Afuwin to do the bios Backup, then I change the logo with AMI ChangeLogo Tool v5.0.0.2 and everything seems perfect. But when you restart the new logo appears ok. But it automatically enters the bios, appearing a new option RECOVERY, ROM LAYOUT MISMATCH DETECTED - PARTIAL UPDATE IS NOT ALLOWED.

I have this problem so I shutdown my pc during and update and it undo the changes now I’m stuck on the UEFI bios page or it pops up with a message that reads select a proper device etc I’ve waited a day and tried almost everything on KZbin please help

[@rdagger]

It doesn’t sound like a damaged bios. It could be a lot of things but since it happened during a Windows update (I assume that is what you meant by update), it is probably a partition problem. I’d get a Windows 10 media USB drive (I assume you are using Windows 10) and try the Repair your computer option. Under System Recovery Options choose Command Prompt. Run diskpart and make sure the correct partition is activated. Afterwards run bootrec /rebuildbcd. If that doesn’t completely fix the problem, it will hopefully get you to the point where you can run System Recovery Options - Startup Repair. This is a relatively advanced repair and my suggestion is only a guess. I am not a Windows expert. You could lose data!

[@Görkem-x5h]

what would happen if you leave the uuid and serial number blank? If we must enter those values then can we enter random values or spoof them or find them somehow perhaps?

[@davidgrisez]

If this problem of repeatedly rebooting occurred on a computer that was already a few years old, most people would replace the computer with a newer model. Most people would not think that they need to reprogram the firmware.

How do you do this process with no access to the original bios? I accidentally wiped the bios chip before backing up the original bios unfortunately

[@rdagger]

You might be able to get the MAC address from your router logs or it could be printed on a sticker on your network card. You can always make up a MAC address using an online MAC address generator (just google it). Serial numbers are often on the motherboard or the case depending on the brand. I suppose you could just create a new serial number and system UUID although it could cause some licensing issue with existing software on the computer.
