Hello softhive! UBU issues with CPU micro-code are solved, you can use it safely.

Edit 1: At time of writing it seems that there is an issue with UBU 1.70 latest and patched version re-uploaded the 21/07/2014 (code is of 17/07/2014) with the "Intel OROM VBIOS and EFI GOP Driver".

I've made a post into the thread reporting this issue to SoniX (UBU developer).

Let's wait for the revision of code that will solve the issue.

Edit 2: Everything is now OK and UBU can be used safely...

Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

someone going to put a z97 modified bios list on the main page of this thread?

**vailr** · 07-22-2014, 10:01 AM

Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

Intel ME Firmware Version 9.1.10.1005 (1.5Mo)

The linked site doesn't provide much info on what specific chipsets this firmware is designed for, but seems to be the latest available for Z87 boards?
Applied to a Z87-UD5H board with latest modded F10c bios:

**stasio** · 07-23-2014, 08:29 PM

Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

^It's for Z97 series.

Maybe so, but this shows different information:

from:
Firmwares

Can you explain why that page clearly shows "MEI firmware series 8" is for "chipset Series Z77, H77, ...", for example?
And: "MEI firmware series 9.0 & 9.1" & "MEI firmware series 9.5" is shown for "chipset series Z87, H87, ..."
My interpretation (due to lack of clarity on that web site) was: MEI 9.0/9.1 was for Z87, and MEI 9.5 was for Z97.
So, either:
a. you're wrong, (by wrongly assuming that the MEI firmware version numbering exactly matches the chipset version numbering).
or
b. the station-drivers.com web site is wrong.
Why would there be a new & just released version 9.1 MEI firmware designed for Z97 boards, when there already exists
a version 9.5 MEI firmware (which I'm sure are NOT designed for Z87 boards)?
Ideally, the Intel MEI flash program would not allow updating the MEI firmware to an inappropriate chipset board, no?

Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

It's explain a few times on this forum.

Btw,from other forums:
Station-Drivers - Forum - Sujet : Intel Management Engine Firmware 9.1.0.1120 1.5MB & 5MB (1/5)

I just want to check that I understand what you did in the “Mod 13”.

In Mod12 there seems to be some modules with higher version numbers.

For example:
- Marvell 88SE91xx Adapter 1.0.1.0025 now is downgraded to 1.0.0.0034
- Intel GigabitLanX64 6.2.08 now is downgraded to 6.1.16
(This according to the text document included with the downloaded file.)

Did you do this intentional to solve some issues or am I mistaken and mix up the ROM’s?

Hello Priskvark, the Intel Gigabit EFI is downgraded because the V.6.2 wasn't working as expected as stated by SoniX that is the UBU developer (UEFI BIOS Updater : [Tool] "UEFI BIOS Updater" (UBU)).
The Marvell OROMs if my mind assist me is an upgrade because i think that the V.1.0.1.0025 is a typo (the 1 is a 0 in the correct versioning) and infact i can confirm that the latest original F16 Beta from Gigabyte contain the Marvel 1.0.0.0034 OROMs.

Cheers,

KK
