WhatTheTech Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Would you mind adding a step-by-step guide? I've opened Terminal, dragged PMPatch in, followed by the BIOS file, and had it output to newbios.180 (BIOS file had .180 extension), but do I need to rename it to something specific, or will that work?

CodeRush Posted February 23, 2013 Author Share Posted February 23, 2013 I think that the name of BIOS file means anything only for ASUS USB BIOS Flashback technology. I can't add a guide because it's highly vendor-specific, and I have only ASUS Maximus IV Gene-Z. But I heard that there are no problems with flashing patched BIOSes on MSI boards with MSI BIOS update solutions.

WhatTheTech Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Confirmed working on: MSI Z77MA-G45 MSI B75MA-P45 For anyone with an MSI board: 1) Download latest BIOS from MSI website, you should have a folder with three files. 2) Do the following in a new terminal window (change "media" to your username, you can just drag the patch and bios file in): You will now have a patched BIOS file in the location you specified. 3) Delete original BIOS file from downloaded MSI folder, rename patched BIOS to the exact name of the original, and replace in folder. 4) Place entire folder on the root of a FAT32 USB Drive (i.e. no subfolders), and use MSI's BIOS update function in the BIOS. 5) Done! A huge thanks to CodeRush for bringing us all one step closer to an even smoother hack! 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/285444-uefipatch-uefi-patching-utility/page/7/#findComment-1891438 Share on other sites More sharing options...

CodeRush Posted February 24, 2013 Author Share Posted February 24, 2013 @LatinMcG, you are correct, there is no need to patch Gigabyte BIOSes with this patch. @WhatTheTech, thank you for testing. I don't have this line in my boot log, so I don't know why it presents. Is PM works normally with patched BIOS on your boards? 2 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/285444-uefipatch-uefi-patching-utility/page/7/#findComment-1891610 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy, I just reinstalled a fresh copy of ML, with the generic extra folder from the myHack installer. After that, I deleted the nullCPUPowerManagement.kext, repaired and restarted. Do I also have to remove AppleIntelCPUPowermanagement.kext? What about AppleIntelPowerManagementClient.kext? Thanks!

blackosx Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Hi CodeRush This looks a great project here. Top job. I see you have the Asus Maximus IV GENE-Z mobo - same as me. Have you updated to BIOS v3603 using your tool? I just reinstalled a fresh copy of ML, with the generic extra folder from the myHack installer. After that, I deleted the nullCPUPowerManagement.kext, repaired and restarted. Hi WhatTheTech Did you run myHack's myfix after deleting nullCPUPowerManagement.kext from your /Extra folder?

CodeRush Posted February 25, 2013 Author Share Posted February 25, 2013 @blackosx, no because this version sucks monkey balls. This version is full of bugs I can't recommend it to anyone. Let's wait for another version, if any. I'm using 3402 with minor modifications besides PMPatch. I can't say this version is bug-free, but it's the best from 3xxx line.

blackosx Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Lol.. monkey balls are bad! I'm currently using 3402 and I'm very happy with it. I did have a go at patching the original ASUS BIOS myself following dgsga's guide. I learned the steps required from that guide but I ended up using the patched version from biosrepo. Can I ask what other modifications you made to your v3402?

xpamamadeus Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 It is possible but it's harder then a simple patch. If I will work on it, it will be another project. I'm not a fan of do-all-you-can-imagine kind of utilities, because they are hard to code and debug. U have me as tester if u integrate that driver. z77x ud5h Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/285444-uefipatch-uefi-patching-utility/page/7/#findComment-1891963 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeRush Posted February 26, 2013 Author Share Posted February 26, 2013 Can I ask what other modifications you made to your v3402?

SwedishGojira Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Excuse me for being a total n00b about this, but if I patch my BIOS of my ASUS k53sc for use of native AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext do I still need to have SSDT in /Extra? And what settings should I have in org.chameleon.Boot.plist for this to work (GeneratePStates and GenerateCStates)?

DropSSDT Yes is needed.. if your SSDT has extra code ( sata or usb) then it needs to be used in a file as well next to the CPU SSDT Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/285444-uefipatch-uefi-patching-utility/page/7/#findComment-1892298 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the reply CodeRush. However I hold my hands up and acknowledge that I don't know that much about this subject, and don't know what an OROM is without research.

Titokhan Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Hi, first post here. Successfully applied the patch on the latest bios (221) of Asus X53SC (same as K53SC/A53SC). Flashing is also successful using Winflash /nodate. Now its time to test my ML installation. Btw, I'm Tito from MDL who posted about this on there. 2 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/285444-uefipatch-uefi-patching-utility/page/7/#findComment-1892854 Share on other sites More sharing options...
