MOVED: Modding Current AMI Bioses

This topic has been moved to BETA & MOD BIOS Section.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=139069.0

The BIOS Releases for your system are not written in "standard" AMI BIOS Code but in AMI "Aptio" Code, which basically means that it is an EFI style BIOS (hence the "E" at the start of the BIOS File name).  You cannot use MMTool on an EFI/Aptio coded BIOS Image.  Actually, you can pretty much forget about everything you read about modding AMI BIOS Releases when it comes to this kind of code.  Aptio/EFI Code is a whole different and rather new concept.  There hasn't been that much reverse engineering yet and close to nothing is known about modding procedures.

  • Modding Current AMI Bioses

    For the MS-1656, I would like mod my bios. What I would like to know is how do I get the rom files from my bios? https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=138907.0;attach=6864 is the link for my bios. I want to try to mod it. This is my first time working with bioses. I have read a lot online about how to do it, but I can't seem to find anywhere how to open the MSI-AMI bios file. I am trying to use MMTool to try to extract the rom file. Thanks in advanced for any help.

  • Xorg 7.1 moved to current???

    I've read that Xorg 7.1 moved to current:
    http://www.archlinux.org/news/255/
    I don't find 7.1 in repositories. The current version is:
    xorg-11R7.0-1.pkg.tar.gz.
    What's the problem?.
    Best regards.

    I confirm the same problem of Slackhack.
    X does not work well with vesa. There are delays of about half a second in redrawing windows.
    I have updated yesterday to the latest version of xorg and now X is quite slow. The problem is not inside the single applications, or in the creation of new windows, neither is due to a particular window manager. Indeed I can almost instantly create a terminal window (rxvt) inside kde or icewm.
    But when I have to move a window the redraw takes a significant amount of time. I just guess that the window is redrawn much more often than with the previous version xorg.
    Another very annoying "feature" of the new X.org is related to firefox: also the scrolling of the window of the browser got slower. There is no problem, as I can move in the page with page_down, but thew wheel of the mouse and the down arrow is become unusable.
    I see the same problem with other browsers (konqueror, dillo, opera) so it is not a problem specific of firefox. Simply web browsing is now much less convenient then before.
    My version of xorg:
    pacman -Qi xorg
    Name           : xorg
    Version        : 11R7.0-1
    Groups         : None
    Packager       : Arch Linux (http://www.archlinux.org)
    I have a graphic card Ati X1300, soon or later I'll install the drivers for 3D acceleration, I just kept the vesa driver up to now hoping to avoid any problem 
    Is there a simple way to downgrade x.org to a previous version?
    Does anyone know how to set X.org in such a way to avoid this bug, still using vesa?

  • Current AMI Bios save instructions?

    Hi,
    1) Am running the KT4VL with 1.1 bios - using liveupdate 2, it does NOT detect the new bios that it available for KT4V boards...how' that :(
    I also tried MSI Live Monitor search capabilities and same issue - cannot detect new bios for the board...weird..I could flash it the manual way but I like how it was done when flashing the 1.1 bios using liveupdate2...
    2) Are there any instructions to save current bios out to disk/floppy for AMI? I like to save previous bios eventhough you can get them back from the site...just to be safe...
    Thanks,
    --fibo

    I can just add that I have always used the floppy method but then I also have a UPS. I don't trust the Windows LiveUpdate for BIOS.
    I see that my 1.3 disk that I created from MSI does setup a RAM disk and flashes from RAM (although that solves the bad floppy issue - it does not help if you lose power during the flash) - that's why I purchased a BIOS Savior (12 pounds from scan.co.uk), not sure about Official 1.4 from MSI as I now use beta's.
    The only flash I have seen fail was when I tried 1.52Beta into my Bios Savior (had to first flash 1.3 then 1.52)

  • MOVED: mod GOP BIOS for MSI R9 270 Gaming

    This topic has been moved to BETA & MOD BIOS Section.
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=180753.0

    Alright, I followed the directions and the provided file bricked my XFX Radeon. Fortunately I was able to navigate my way into the USB drive 'in the blind' (no video output) and I had my original VBIOS on my ATI FLASH device and was able to restore to my original.
    So what I decided to try next was modifying MY original bios by manual inserting the UEFI GOP partition into the VBIOS. I flashed it, and now I'm very happy to say that it's working!!!
    It's taken me DAYS to figure out how to do this - so I'll make a shortcut for anyone who needs it. I grabbed the attachment above and I dumped my origin VBIOS. Then I used HxD to hexedit the dollar sign (or whatever it is) to 00 (indicating that there is GOP driver available on the device), and then I directly copied the information from the provided VBIOS for the MSI card into the VBIOS for my XFX card.
    Or you can just follow the guide, that I followed - http://www.overclock.net/t/1389206/do-you-want-uefi-gop-on-your-7950-7970-i-can-add-it-to-your-bios/120#post_20172963
    I held my breath, flashed the new VBIOS, and rebooted. To my surprise and excitement -  I was instantly greated by the MSI BIOS picture. I then let out a huge sigh of relief and configured Windows 8.1 mode. From what I can tell - everything is working great! First boot into Windows took forever, and Windows PNP had to reinstall the AMD driver.
    Other than that, everything went very smoothly :D 
    I'm now gonna let my computer sit for a couple hours and run some basic CPU, GPU, and RAM stress tests to make sure that everything is working correctly. I'll report back when I have the info 
    EDIT: Swap filing refuses to work after this (no idea why). But considering that I have 24GB's of RAM, I just went ahead and disabled it anyways. NOW everything works correctly! Gonna try some games now - see how they perform

  • Moving to current record after execute query

    Hi all,
    I have a form where i can list all db jobs which can be start or stop.
    for more details, form is having columns like jobs, current db status, action(start/stop drop down)
    The user will view list of jobs in the screen and he straightly goes to a record and start (submit) the job using drop down for that record.
    once they start/stop the job, execute query will fire to show the current status of the job.
    Now going to my requirement,after execute query, I want to go to the record (job) which user has started the job .
    Currently the cursor will go to first record.
    Is there any oracle 10g AS property where i can get current record , put it in parameter and go to that record after execute query?
    Is there any other way?
    Regards,
    Leonard

    Hello,
    If you are sure the record after query will keep the same position, you can before, store the current record in a number variable with Get_Block_Property( CURRENT_RECORD) built-in, then after query use the Go_Record() with stored number variable in parameter.
    If you think that after re-query the record number can change, you have to loop through your records, then stop navidation while you find the corresponding key.

  • Moving From Current iPhone to New 3G?

    Any word if there is an upgrade path from current iPhone users to new 3G iPhone when it is released... or will this require the purchase of a new iPhone all together?

    I thought speculative posts were not allowed here.
    I posted something about this a month ago after reading an article in an online business section. It was removed because it was "speculative."
    Has Apple announced this officially?
    TH
    Saying that you would have to buy a new iPhone to get 3G isn't speculating. Its fact since we know that the current iPhone doesn't have the hardware in it. Now, theorizing about what a 3G iPhone is going to cost, what features it has, or the like is just speculation since a 3G iPhone does not exist. There are certain things we can say about a 3G iPhone based on what is already known about the current iPhone. However anything else assumes that a 3G iPhone already exists, which we cannot assume.

  • Content of apps on another ipad moved to current ipad

    I have a "work" ipad that I want to combine the contents within the same aps that I've purchased using my own apple id for both ipads.  I've down loaded all the aps by going to the app store and selecting "Not on This iPad" but the contect of all the games that were on both ipads are not combining.  Is there a way to do that?  For example, I have an ap called Jumping Horses Champion on both ipads but I can't get the horses that were created on my work ipad to be combined with the horses on my personal ipad.  Is there a way to do that?  My daughter worked very hard on many of the games on the work ipad and now I have to give the work ipad back and we really want to get the contents moved to my personal ipad.  Would appreciate anyones help.  Thx.  EEG1965

    Currently there is no way to do this, and will probably never be. You can make a suggestion to Apple at
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
    For now, don't do an Update All. Just select the apps you want to update and update individually.

  • My Lightroom developing mode currently says "Develope module is disabled. Please renew your membership to reactivate the module."

    How can I enter my serial to repair this?

    You can't. You have the wrong version of Lightroom installed.
    Uninstall the Creative Cloud version and download and install the Perpetual License Version. It will accept your serial number.

  • KUDOS TO CREATORS OF 5.7 LUMBERJACK MODDED BIOSES!

    before you get on any moderators cases, remember, you use at your own risk and it is not supported by MSI!
    you can get them here! a full raid version and what is called a pureudma version (raid channels converted to be used as regular udma channels)
    http://www.anycities.com/user/mainboards/msi/msi.html
    there are also some ultra type hidden settings revealed (ultra system setting, whatever that does) and a few other toys!
    i flashed to this bios this morning (use same procedure as you would to flash the ami bioses using a c:\test folder to flash from hard drive not floppy..and you'll need the ami flash utility that came with the msi standard 5.7 bios
    it works great..i simply installed my cd rom player (set as master) on one of the channels that was raid only before...made sure raid was enabled in bios (as you'll still need to go through the raid bios to use the devices on what were the raid channels) and the cd rom was detected..i booted into windows and got a found new device message...and installed the promise udma driver that was available in my winxp installation (without having to pull out my winxp cd..i just selected let me choose my own device or whatever and pulled up scsi/raid devices..installed..and voila! i finally have 4 active regular ide channels on my board!!!!
    reason i was so excited to try this is of course the issue of having only 2 non raid channels to play with..and i have found twice that having the cd burner on same channel as my cdrom killed my cd rom...now everything's separate..and i'm a happy camper!!!!

    I used the Modded Full-Raid BIOS over at Lumberjacker. I must say I was immidietally impressed with the extra options it had considering I was only upgrading for the CPU Halt Option (Which turned out to be a waste because my Sound card went haywire with it enabled...  :O  :O )...  My only thing was I couldnt find any definitions for over half those commands which left me guessing on em..  
    So to make a long story short, a day later I walked in my room after leaving it to run a VERY LONG Defrag cycle (Over 5 HDD Partitions to Degrag) expecting to see it completed.... I was instead surprised with a BSOD which I have not had with this motherboard since I first bought it  a couple years ago (give or take)and was working out the bugs in it....
    So Im sittin back at the 560 Modded Raid BIOS until I can get some answers on those BIOS Definitions.    
    But regardless of my situation (which is most likely just a bad pattern of settings "I HOPE"), I still give Lumberjacker Two Thumbs up on their Goods...  :D
