[Patched] ASUS UEFI vBIOS tool for GTX 600 series cards!

Nodens

I have patched the ASUS UEFI GOP Updater tool so that it skips the compatible motherboard check. With this patch the tool will blindingly continue to download and flash your card.
For SLI configurations each card must be flashed separately just like the original tool.


Disclaimer:
This is my own work and has nothing to do with ASUS. Neither ASUS or I can be held responsible if you manage to brick your system with this tool.
This is provided on a
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK basis. If your motherboard is not compatible with UEFI GOP it will BRICK your system FOR SURE. No one can be deemed responsible for using this other than yourself. So do your research and be absolutely certain your motherboard supports UEFI GOP.

Instructions:
1) Download the original ASUS tool (see HERE), install and reboot.
2) Download the patched executable: http://www.necrosan.com/rog/ASUS_UEFI_GOP_Tool_patch/ASUS_UEFI_Nodens.rar (New host courtesy of Necrosan:))
3) Extract the executable from the .rar archive in "C:\Program Files (x86)\ASUS\UEFI" while overwriting the stock one that is already there (You can backup the old one if you so wish).
4) IMPORTANT: Run the tool and leave it running until it looks like this:

5)Reboot and disable CSM:)


Special thanks to my testers: Fefquois and furrybob. Their help testing was invaluable as I do not currently have any system without an ASUS board in order to test myself.

Do not post on this threads questions asking if your X-Y-Z brand and model board is compatible with UEFI GOP. I do not have the time to do that research for you. Research your board yourself or do not use this tool.

If your system has an ASUS UEFI GOP supporting board then you do not need this. Use the original ASUS tool instead.

Extra Notes:
A) On platforms with on-board graphics set init options to PEG first.
B) If you are using Logic Virtu disable it prior to flashing.

I only tried with your patched ASUS UEFI.exe . Maybe will work.... It's only showing "Download BIOS failure, Contact blablabla..."

I've a bit of a problem:-( I've installed the bios and at the end of the installation my pc needed to reboot. The first reboot went ok but I wanted to set Ultra Fast boot on in the bios and now I only can boot by ip4 en ip6 realtek(no ssd, hdd, cd-drive and usb). My ssd and hdd are gone now. I hope you can help me figure this out and find my ssd and hdd again. My setup is asrock z75 pro3, gtx660 TI and win 8 x64.

Hi I'm also getting the Download VBIOS failure. It looks like they may be somehow blocking your patched version Nodens. Please help.

No it is not an issue with my patch, it happens for several people with the stock tool as well. If you're getting the download error, please download this tool https://www.asuswebstorage.com/navigate/s/C279DA37582E4B14802303B1B90565DDY

Run it, grab a screenshot and PM it to TL@ASUS with subject ASUS UEFI Tool download error 🙂

Anything that is flashable by the normal tool is safe to flash with the patched one as well. All the patch does is skip the motherboard check. If your board is compatible with UEFI GOP you have nothing to fear.

You should send this screenshot to TL@ASUS via pm. Assuming you have the download error. If you have another error, then please explain what is it.

I did 2 weeks ago, but there was no reaction at all.
