I suspect the EIFTOOL is changing something else in the BIOS file other than just adding in the module. I then flashed the Source BIOS and the MB is working normally. Sure enough, my MB did the same thing, would not beep, no video, no nothing. My goal, was I wanted to see if the EIFTOOL might be doing something else to my BIOS that my MB doesn't like. For example, I noticed there were entries removed named "padding" and such.ĮDIT 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. I'm curious to test if the EIFTOOL.exe changed something else in the BIOS that the MB didn't like.
MMTOOL APTIO 4.50.0023 TWEAKTOWN UPDATE
Only way I was able to recovery the BIOS was by using logging in on another computer via IPMI (web interface) and using the BIOS update feature. I could not even accomplish the BIOS recovery hot key method by holding CTRL + HOME and powering up with a BIOS USB stick inserted. I would get no video, no beeps, nothing.tested with only CPUs and RAM installed. After BIOS mod, the system could only power up. So far failed with Supermicro X9DRX motherboard. Wanted to say big thanks for helping me guys I had to enable CSM and disable Secure BOOT to be able to boot FreeDOS from USB.Īfter flashing I can't find "Fast boot" option in BIOS settings.

After laptop restarted I noticed a new option to boot from my SM951 ssd (in which I previously cloned my old SSD). 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.

Restarted my laptop (don't know why I needed to wait like 25 seconds to see ASUS boot screen) then I booted to FreeDOS USB.Ĩ. Copied AFUDOS.exe and my modified BIOS file to root of bootable USB.ħ. Downloaded AFUDOS from HERE, because this version support /GAN command.Ħ. I made FreeDOS bootable USB using "rufus".ĥ. After that I extracted bios in *ROM format exactly as it showed in THIS picture.Ĥ. Double checked if the module is inserted. Took original 2.05 bios file and inserted NVMe module to it, as described in the 1st page of this thread.ģ. For this I used WinFlash with THIS method.Ģ. Downgraded BIOS to older version (in my case from 2.05 to 2.04). I tried many ways, however worked only one, so:ġ. After flashing bios it appeared in boot options. Yes, now I booted form samsung SM951 SSD.

Zitat von Fernando im Beitrag for your feedback.ĭoes that mean, that you are now able to boot off your NVMe SSD? If yes, how did you flash the modded BIOS?
