![]() Mmtool Aptio 5.02.0024 Serial Number ForDoes that mean, that you are now able to boot off your NVMe SSD If yes, how did you flash the modded BIOS Yes, now I booted form samsung SM951 SSD. Very happy I tried many ways, however worked only one, so: 1. Downgraded BIOS to older version (in my case from 2.05 to 2.04). For this I used WinFlash with THIS method. Took original 2.05 bios file and inserted NVMe module to it, as described in the 1st page of this thread. Double checked if the module is inserted. After that I extracted bios in ROM format exactly as it showed in THIS picture. I made FreeDOS bootable USB using rufus. Downloaded AFUDOS from HERE, because this version support GAN command. Copied AFUDOS.exe and my modified BIOS file to root of bootable USB. Restarted my laptop (dont know why I needed to wait like 25 seconds to see ASUS boot screen) then I booted to FreeDOS USB. 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. After laptop restarted I noticed a new option to boot from my SM951 ssd (in which I previously cloned my old SSD). Few notes: I had to enable CSM and disable Secure BOOT to be able to boot FreeDOS from USB. After flashing I cant find Fast boot option in BIOS settings. Dont really know if it is good or bad Wanted to say big thanks for helping me guys. I would get no video, no beeps, nothing.tested with only CPUs and RAM installed. I could not even accomplish the BIOS recovery hot key method by holding CTRL HOME and powering up with a BIOS USB stick inserted. 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. Im curious to test if the EIFTOOL.exe changed something else in the BIOS that the MB didnt like. For example, I noticed there were entries removed named padding and such. EDIT 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. My goal, was I wanted to see if the EIFTOOL might be doing something else to my BIOS that my MB doesnt like. Sure enough, my MB did the same thing, would not beep, no video, no nothing. I then flashed the Source BIOS and the MB is working normally. I suspect the EIFTOOL is changing something else in the BIOS file other than just adding in the module. Im going to see if I can find a different BIOS tool and try that. Im wondering if my BIOS is not a true UEFI BIOS.because the only UEFI functionality comes through an EFI Shell, or there is an option under Advanced to run the PCIe slots in an UEFI only mode, but perhaps that is not the same as having a true UEFI BIOS. For reference my BIOS is American Megatrends Version 2.15.1236. After the successful insertion of the NVMe module it will look like this picture.
