Use of the "UEFI BIOS Updater" (UBU)

(last updated: 01/12/2016)
Seven7i Presents

Latest UBU version(s):

UBU v1.45 Update 2 (official version)
Changelog:
Updated:
Intel LAN ROM for 10GbE (now v2.3.58)
Intel LAN EFI Undi for 10GbE (now v5.1.19)
Added:
Intel CPU Microcode 6A for Skylake 06E3 platform 36

Known issues with the update of the BIOS on the platform Aptio5
All the problems are caused by the AMI MMTool v5.0.0.7:
1) OROM and EFI files in the GUID A0327FE0-1FDA-4E5B-905D-B510C45A61D0 are not updated, since MMTool incorrectly replaces files.
2) "Error in Replacing File" - to update the microcode on X99 Asus, MSI, Gigabyte. The Volume, where the microcode, fixed by changing the size.
3) "File size exceeds the volume size" - is no free space, frequent updating on BIOS ASRock

How to execute the Update: Put the file UBU_Upd_2.exe into the UBU folder. Then run "UBU.bat" or "UBU_Upd_2.exe -y".

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
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 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).



Guide: How to use the "UEFI BIOS Updater" (=UBU)
Preparations:
Download the latest version of the "UBU" tool from >here< (developer's link) or >here< (MEGA link, not always up-to-date).
Note: For users with an Intel 6-Series chipset RAID0 system there is no need to download any "especially modded" Intel RAID ROM module. The UBU tool contains various Intel RAID ROM module versions, which have been "universally TRIM modified" by me according to CPL0's latest method.
Optional:
If you want to get the Intel iGPU VGA ROM (VBIOS) updated by the UBU tool, you should additionally download and install Intel's utility named "Binary Modification Program" (BMP). You can get the latest version of this tool [>here<.
Create any folder within the root of your system partition (drive C:) and name it anyhow (e.g. C:UBU).
Unzip the downloaded UBU tool archive completely into the just created folder. Now you should have some subfolders and a lot of files within the UBU processing folder.
Additionally I recommend to copy the BIOS file (the pure file, not an EXE archive), which you want to get modified, into the just created UBU processing folder.
(Note: If the UBU tool shouldn't find a BIOS file within the UBU processing folder, it will give you the opportunity to navigate to it.)

Note: If you want to replace any of the OROM/EFI modules by a modded one (except the "TRIM in RAID0 modded" Intel RAID ROM modules the UBU tool is offering), please look into >this< post regarding the preparation.

Enjoy,
