Intel ME Recovery Image Version: 4.0, Build 1524, Hot Fix 32 Intel ME Version: 4.0, Build 1524, Hot Fix 32 I discovered I need to use the FPT tool for programming the bios so I check my “Intel ME Version” using the HWiNFO tool. The bios shows up very shortly and gives the following error:Īfter reading this topic: 18- secure flash rom verify fail please help me!!!! - #4 by Lost_N_BIOS “GD25LB64CVIG - GIGADEVICE”Ĭonnected my Segger-Jlink clone to it and was able to read the flash memory, and also tested writing it back.Įverything seemed to work, but I was not able to get the modded bios functioning. I disassembled the mini PC and located the BIOS flash chip.

#2 Flashing the modded bios using a SPI flash programmer.

#1 Flashing using the AMI AFU for Aptio V toolsĪs described above, tried all of the tools without success. (instead of the bios with unlocked features and updated lan drivers)Ĭhanged the splash logo to a custom one using the “MMTool 5.2.0.25”, “UEFITool 0.28”, “AMI ChangeLogo Tool v5.0.0.2”
Uefitool replace body mod#
To verify this I’m trying to flash a simple mod were I replaced only the Splash logo. I now assume this is most likely not the case and something else is preventing the modified Bios from running (Intel Management Engine?). I managed to flash a modded bios using a SPI flash programmer, but this bios did not work.Ĭreated a lot of modded bios versions I thought I was doing something wrong and corrupting the binary thus preventing it from flashing. I also tried the non GUI version “AFUWINGUI圆4”Įvery time I get the same “secure flash” error. If I use the “AFUWINGUI圆4” tool I get the following error “18 - Error: Secure Flash Rom Verify fail.” I’m not able to flash any modified bios to the board. Problem “18 - Error: Secure Flash Rom Verify fail.”: I’m currently at day 5 of my quest, I’m almost at the point of giving up and I decided I need some help. That’s when I started my quest to fix this problem.
Uefitool replace body update#
I contacted the manufacturer but they do not have a bios update available (yet, but I don’t expect anything soon). And because of this The Wake On Lan feature is not working. I recently bought a “CHUWI Herobox Mini PC Intel Celeron J4125 Quad Core 8GB RAM 256G SSD” but it has a bios with a known problem.
