How to flash the BIOS

1/ Use WinZip or 7-Zip to unpack the file

2/ Copy the unpacked file to a USB flash drive (not inside a folder)

3/ Reboot the laptop and press F2 repeatedly until you get to the BIOS and select the Easy BIOS Flash utility
If you end up at Windows Login, repeat step 3, you need to be fast when pressing F2 before the ROG logo comes up.

4/ In the left window there will be a list for drives -- ie F01, F02 F03 or FS0, FS1, FS2 etc.
Select each one until you see the firmware file in the window on the right that you copied to the flash drive.

5/ Once found, select it and press enter and answer yes to flash the new firmware (should take around 30 - 40 seconds).

6/ Go back into BIOS and press F9 to load Defaults and save and exit.

After that, enter bios again to make any changes that you need in the BIOS for your BOOT device (RAID 0 etc).

UPDATE 1
06-11-2017


I don't know if the BIOS is a cumulative BIOS update, there are no notes (ASUS does not post notes on updates / fixes for some strange reason). I would suggest that you update to the latest BIOS in the BIOS section for your laptop before flashing the BIOS listed above.

UPDATE 2
08-21-2017


New BIOS released for
G752VS: BIOS 310 Intel® Core™ i7 6820HK Processor, Intel® Core™ i7 6700HQ Processor
G752VM: BIOS 306 Intel® Core™ i7 6700HQ Processor
G752VS: BIOS 302 G752VS (7th Gen Intel Core)
G752VSK: BIOS 302 G752VS OC Edition (7th Gen Intel Core)

Visit the support section for your laptop to download the new BIOS, follow the steps above to help find and flash the new BIOS.

UPDATE 3
06-26-2017


If you need to downgrade your BIOS, download the last BIOS before BIOS 30x (ie G752VL 219 BIOS)
Make sure that you have downloaded the correct BIOS for your G752 model before flashing the BIOS

Follow the steps below to flash the older BIOS.

Download Winflash for VL / VT / VY models from the link below
Version 3.1.0
http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/nb/...669.1498478639

G752 VS / VSK / VSK OC
Download the latest WinFlash for your model from the support section for your laptop.

Uninstall Winflash from the laptop.
Unzip the new Winflash from the link above and install it. (VS models, same applies, install the new version)
Unzip the older BIOS file and place it in the ROOT of C: or on a USB flash drive
Unzip the 302 BIOS (VS models) 303 BIOS (VL / VT / VY models) file and place it in the ROOT of C: or on a USB flash drive (This is so you can re-flash it if needed using the steps above 1 - 6)
Make sure that you have downloaded the correct BIOS for your G752 model before flashing the BIOS

Make sure the power lead is connected to the laptop.

Reboot laptop and log back in.

Right click on Start icon and select Command Prompt (Admin) to run it, answer yes to continue.

Type the following and press enter

cd C:\Program Files (x86)\ASUS\WinFlash

Type the following and press enter

dir

Look for Winflash.exe

Type the following and press enter

winflash /nodate

Select the option that allows you to select the BIOS from the laptop and not the Web / Internet

Select the old BIOS that should be in the root of C: drive or on the USB flash drive.
Make sure that you have downloaded the correct BIOS for your G752 model before flashing the BIOS


Proceed with the flash, do not touch / turn off laptop while it is flashing the BIOS. Laptop will reboot after the flash has completed.

Go back into BIOS and press F9 to load Defaults and save and exit.

After some time with new BIOS I think I can confirm that this version solved some major issues (at least for my G752VY)

1) Strange sound from speakers on occasions
2) Random top panel overheat near the TB3 port and audio jack
3) Cold boot is clearly faster than before

Pretty happy with the update, definitely worth doing.

Bios 303 for g752vt improved my boot time by 3 secs, but had high system usage on cpu core0 and subsequently higher cpu temp and noisy cpu fan even on idle. Installing TB3 firmware update, resolved the cpu and temp issue. Me happy.*

Hi Clad,

I really appreciate you taking the time to update users on the information you know on your side. The XG2 is still a new product line for us so support resources are limited at this moment in time. BIOS for notebook based on what I've seen so far tend to frequently be pulled or delayed due to a lot of additional issues. I will contact our notebook team to get some updates on the status of the missing BIOS versions for the mentioned models. Thanks.
