UEFI BIOS Updater 1.31.1 Final | 10 MB
This tool is very easy to
use and able to detect the versions of the OROM/EFI modules, which are inside an
AMI UEFI BIOS file and to update:
a) the most important
OROM/EFI modules (incl. various "Universal TRIM in RAID0 modified"
ones) and
b) the CPU MicroCode
of any AMI UEFI BIOS (except
BIOSes from X99 chipset mainboards).
Important:
The UBU tool has been
designed and optimized for the modification of Desktop mainboard BIOSes.
According the feedback we got until now the usage of the tool with Desktop
mainboard UEFI BIOSes is very safe.
Nevertheless it is possible,
but only recommended for advanced users, to update some modules of a Mobile
system BIOS (except the VGA ROM!) by using the UBU tool. For further details
please read >this< post written by plutomaniac.
Short
description of the tool:
This tool is very easy to
use and able
1) to detect the versions of
the OROM/EFI modules, which are inside an AMI UEFI BIOS file and
2) to update
a) the most important
OROM/EFI modules (incl. various "Universal TRIM in RAID0 modified"
ones) and
b) the CPU MicroCode
of any AMI Aptio IV UEFI
BIOS.
Notes:
This tool cannot be used, if
you want to modify any other BIOS type (Award/Phoenix, non-UEFI AMI or Intel
mainboard BIOSes) or insert a BIOS module, which is not present within the
original BIOS or remove a BIOS module.
Problem with AMI Aptio V
BIOSes:
The UBU tool uses the AMI
Aptio MMTools v4.50.0.23 (for the older Aptio IV BIOSes) resp. v5.0.0.7 (for
the newest Aptio V BIOSes) and supports all Intel and AMD platform BIOSes.
Unfortunately the currently available AMI Aptio V MMTool v5.0.0.7 has problems with
the update of certain BIOS modules of the latest Intel chipset mainboards (X99
and newer). That is why the UBO tool may not be able to update the BIOS modules
of AMI Aptio V BIOSes (the tool will only show the version of the currently
inserted BIOS modules).
Solution: It is possible to
modify an AMI Aptio type V BIOS manually by using CodeRush's UEFITool, which is
part of the UBU tool package. You can find a short guide within the start post
of >this< thread (Chapter B).
Special problem with Intel's
iGPU VGA ROM modules (=VBIOS):
Contrary to the other Option
ROM modules there is no "universally" usable Intel VGA ROM module
available for systems with an Intel CPU from Sandy/Ivy Bridge up. That is why
the mainboard specific VBIOS settings have to be transfered by using a special
tool named BMP to the desired Intel VGA ROM module version, before the UBU tool
is able to update the VBIOS version (for details see below).
