You can do tons of preparation and even turn in a good performance that measures up to your own high standards, but there will always be someone in the audience who says, "Pfff, he's not that good. Yes it was negative, but not without context. I guess it's ultimately up to board admins to determine when someone is crossing the line, which I don't feel that guy did. So, rather than consider it an insult, I would just chalk it up to feedback. Actually, I would consider that kind of feedback more useful than dozens of "Thanks a lot!" or "I have the same problem too!" posts. If they didn't think it was worth trying and spending lots of time, effort and patience on, they wouldn't bother to download and give feedback at all. Most people seeking answers do follow forum protocol, and I would think that even those who don't, who fly off the handle due to frustration, are genuinely appreciative of the selfless work done by developers like CodeRush. I know I've felt that myself in my experience building, testing, troubleshooting and maintaining over the past few years. I am only trying to give a possible, legitimate, context for the frustration that user, or other users, expressed when trying these highly technical fixes. Not saying that CodeRush's READ MEs fall into this category I haven't looked at them for awhile. For me, most of the zillions of software reference manuals - by every publisher - aren't worth the paper they're printed on. Personally, I've had to start from SCRATCH too many projects to count after wading through reams of computer-speak written by people for whom it might actually make perfect sense, but is utterly painful for the rest of us. Knowing how to code, knowing how & why processes and procedures work - and attempting to clearly and concisely explain it to others - are mutually exclusive skills. I've edited technical manuals for over 20 years in a variety of industries, and the writing in the computer world is by far the most nightmarish I have ever had to deal with. Also, with respect to the overwhelming majority of technical software utilities, the instructional writing is so opaque and insider-oriented that it is confounding and frustrating to the average user.Thus, they (myself included) are often at their wit's end as far as achieving predictable & successful results. The reason? The vast majority of DIY'ers who are trying these tools DO NOT have the coding know-how or knowledge of low-level programming to do it themselves. Generally, strident comments or posts should be taken with a grain of salt.patched file will be generated, this time it will be named .īack to the insults: that useless application just patched your precious BIOS, would you kindly STFU and GTFO now?ĬodeRush, don't to listen to such stupidy, we love your work!!!!!! one question though, can anything be done about the write protection error message for Asus BIOS using FTK?Īs a subscriber to this thread for well over a year, as well as someone who has tried to do some BIOS patching with CodeRush's old and more recent tools, I would like to add the following: If any of patches listed in patches.txt can be applied to the input file, a. Drag BIOS image file onto engine file, like this: Unpack UEFIPatch.exe (engine), patches.txt (list of patches to apply) and E7850IMS.180 (BIOS image file) on desktopĢ. I will not involve any work with command line or Administrator mode, which can sure be used by anyone, but will require doing this 2 steps:ġ. I will show how to patch BIOS v1.8 for Z87-G41 using UEFIPatch v0.2.4. I will not quote every word of that one by one, proving them wrong, I will just make exactly one screenshot. Honestly, I have now words to describe such outbreaks from some unknown guys. SO please put PMPatch back up or link a current mirror that has it hosted. TL:DR- UEFIPatch doesn't work with Z87-G41/G43 but PMPatch does. Your utility just flat out doesn't work, but you decided to be narcissistic and delete/remove/pull every single folder/upload online that had PMPatch so now I can't get a hold of the utility that actually works.Ĭan you do everyone here who actually uses MSI boards a favor, and put up the version of the utility that was actually a functioning program for us? I'm quite capable of opening a command window in a selected folder in Administrative privileges with simplified file names. And no, it's not spelling or folder related. Your useless application doesn't even recognize my bios file. Guess what? It doesn't work with UEFIPatch. Why didn't you keep the PMPatch links up? I use an MSI Z87-G41 and this board was tested and verified to work with PMPatch. This is literally the most poorly written excuse for a replacement utility that I've ever seen. Sorry, but this gets 0 stars out of 10,000 for me.
