- How Do I Revert Formerly Mined Cards With Modded Bios's Back To REAL Cards ??
This copies your existing BIOS into a file named AMIBOOT.ROM (this name is important because if the new BIOS causes your PC to stop booting complete, AMI supports an emergency repair maneuver whereby you insert a floppy disk into your system, turn the power on, then hold down the CTRL and HOME keys until the PC beeps once to tell you it's. Jun 11, 2018 But I'm not too confident here. Apparently it involves renaming flash file to read bios.rom, copy to (DOS) USB and boot:S I wouldn't wish to brick this thing, hence this post. Not sure how to. Download American Megatrends Bios. Original title:- BIOS windows 10/ 7. In order to manually update your driver, follow the steps below (the next steps): 1. Extract the.cab file to a folder of your choice 2. Go to Device Manager (right click on My Computer, choose Manage and then find Device Manager in the left panel), or right click on Start. To restore an AMI BootBlock BIOS follow these steps: 1) Format a good working 1.44MB floppy diskette. 2) Copy a working BIOS ROM file for your motherboard onto the floppy disk. BIOS ROM files can usually be downloaded from the motherboard manufacturer’s web site. If you cannot locate a BIOS ROM file for your motherboard then call the motherboard.
For Award BIOS
Make a bootable floppy disk*
Copy the Award flash utility & BIOS file to the said floppy disk
Create an autoexec.bat with 'Award_Flash_Utility BiosFilename' in the content (e.g. awdfl823K w6378vms.130)
Sample on how to create an autoexec:
a. On Windows, open the notepad
b. On the notepad, write 'awdfl823K w6378vms.130' (without the ' ')**
c. Save the file as autoexec.bat
Boot up system with the said floppy (it will take less than 2 minutes before screen comes out)
Re-flash the BIOS & reboot.

**Make sure you enter the correct filenames for your flasher program and BIOS ROM file!
For AMI BIOS
Rename the desired AMI BIOS file to AMIBOOT.ROM and save it on a floppy disk. e.g. Rename A569MS23.ROM to AMIBOOT.ROM
Insert this floppy disk in the floppy drive. Turn On the system and press and hold Ctrl-Home to force update. It will read the AMIBOOT.ROM file and recover the BIOS from the A drive.
When 4 beeps are heard you may remove the floppy disk and restart the computer.
For new boards with AMI BIOS core 8 (4MB)
Discovered by Jack The Newbie:
Of course, the steps are similar to the standard AMI BIOS Recovery Procedure for internal floppy drives (rename corresponding BIOS File to AMIBOOT.ROM, hit CTRL + HOME after starting the system).
What has to be done (tested on P45 Platinum):
1. An optical SATA Drive needs to be connected to one of the Intel ICH10R SATA ports. {After a lot of testing, I found that it does not work with the same optical drive connected to the SATA Ports hosted by the secondary JMicron Controller. Also, using an optical drive on the JMicron IDE/PATA port does not help either.}
2. A proper BIOS File has to be renamed to AMIBOOT.ROM and burned on an empty CD.
3. CMOS-Clear with main A/C power cable removed from PSU has to be performed. {If this step is not done, the system will reboot after pressing CTRL + Home and will not proceed with recovery procedure.}
4. Press CTRL + Home to trigger BIOS Recovery. -> The system should enter BIOS Recovery Routine. {Will basically work with both USB & PS/2 keyboard. However, a PS/2 Keyboard is recommended as the system will respond earlier to PS/2 Keyboard than to USB Devices.}
What should happen now:
1. After pressing CTRL + HOME the LED Status should change to 'Intializing Hard Disk Controller' and there should be access to the optical drive connected to the Intel ICH10R SATA ports.
2. It can take up to 30+ seconds until the BIOS File that was renamed to AMIBOOT.ROM is found. {Drive Bay can be opened to try a different CD without turning off or restarting the system.}
3. When the system finds the BIOS File, LED Status will change to 'Testing RTC' and there should be a message on the screen indicating that the Flash Recovery Procedure has started.
4. Since the BIOS File is 4MB in size, it will take a while until the BIOS is actually reflashed.
Its also possible that BIOS recovery on boards with AMIBIOS8 can be done using a FAT-formatted USB stick, containing the renamed BIOS file. Be warned, in some circumstances it may take several moments before recovery procedure actually begins.
...then you have no choice but to return the board to your supplier, or to MSI, for replacement.
If your BIOS chip is in a socket, like...
...then you may be able to source a replacement BIOS chip, either from MSI, or from a website such as www.badflash.com
AMISCE is a command line tool which provides an easy way to update NVRAM variables, extract variables directly from the BIOS, change settings using either a text editor or a setup program and update the BIOS. AMISCE produces a script file that lists all setup questions on the system being modified by AMISCE. The user can then modify the script file and use it as input to change the current NVRAM setup variables.
AMI Setup Data Extraction (AMISDE)AMISDE is a command line tool for exporting setup data from an Aptio ROM image, including spreadsheet applications such as Microsoft Excel®. It generates a helpful summary report of BIOS setup parameters and default values that enhances productivity in testing and manufacturing.
AMISLPAMISLP allows the insertion of Microsoft System Locked Pre-Installation (SLP) key files into the BIOS image. SLP keys are used for OEM activation of Microsoft Windows® 7 and Vista®. For Windows® 8.1 and Windows® 10, the OEM Activation 3.0 eModule is used in conjunction with AFU v2.35 or greater.
AMI Utility Configuration Program (AMIUCP)
AMIUCP is a utility that is used to pre-configure the Aptio Flash Utility (AFU). Users can insert and exchange the default command string and ROM image used in AFU to create a customized version of the utility. AMIUCP supports AFU v2.35 or AFUWINGUI v1.12 or later.
Change LogoChangeLogo allows developers to easily change logos displayed by Aptio at boot. The full screen 'splash' logo and small logos appearing on the main screen during POST can be replaced with custom logos. ChangeLogo also allows logos to be extracted from existing Aptio ROM files.
