First of all, awesome flashing tool. Love the GUI and layout.

I have a quick question, is the 'Asus P5K Premium Black Pearl Edition' the same as the regular P5K Premium board? I was wondering because I was thinking about crossflashing my P5K Deluxe with the Premium BIOS. It's a risk I'm willing to take. :shakes:

Gotta say I'm {still} loving this tool.

Still the same options but I think it has better memory support. I think with the latest Deluxe BIOS, I had trouble getting my memory up to 500MHz. Flashing to the Premium BIOS, I am stable but I cannot go much higher than that.

TBH, there isn't much difference to go all out and do this. But I thought I'd just try it out since my DFI board is coming today.. and this would be the last time I would be able to use my ASUS board.

new BIOS to P5K-DLX 901

Your tool is FANTASTIC!!

I used it with GREAT results.

Thank you!!

Thanks a lot for theses words

Wow! Nicely thought out, simple, clean to use and very helpful. Has all ready saved me time and money.

Would you please post an addy to which I could pp a few bucks by way of thanks? I can pop for a couple of whatever you drink...

Thanks again.

So beyond memory support, what other advantages are there to having this BIOS vs. my P5k Deluxe Wifi/AP's stock BIOS? ... Besides the "because I can" justification(s) ... :p:

:welcome:

Very kind of you ... but just keep using it when you need is really enough for me ;)

Many thanks !

chuckle. You misunderstand. I flashed a formula se to a new bios only to find out the newer bios broke the board. So, too, the beta available. The DOS and bios based factory flashers would not allow me to roll back my flash. I'm dead in the water with a build I needed to finish and no way to return the mb to functionality. (Asus is STILL working out my advance replacemet, after a week, btw!)

Anyway, found your package tried it, worked like a champ! Somethng under 10 minutes and MB is back in buiiness, I finish the build and I'm a hero. <g> Now, in the meantime, I get to cancel the $300 (including premium freight) replacement before it shipped because you saved my bacon. I got a payday I wouldn't have or I DIDN'T shell out to solve my problem. I haven't told Asus; I'm waiting to see just how long they take on this.

Fair is fair. I'll pm you for the addy. And, hey, don't worry, I'm not gonna send you enough to get exited about...

Rampage Extreme is available on v0.53 Update ... not on the v0.5 CD version.
Well, looks like we need a v0.6 version with CD

0505 bios on my P5E3 premium seemed to be a bad idea so now I flashed back to 0402 and have a go at that one.
Much appreciated!!!!

Same for me, 0505 was too unstable so i had to switch back to 0402

Has anybody tried flashing p5q deluxe to a rampage or something else? Was just wondering would it be possible and would I gain something other than dead
mobo?

Had a bit of a problem after flashing back to 0402 after the 0505.. windows would not boot anymore, not even at stock. Fixed it by flashing all the way back to 1.51.
phew :)

@koda, I can't see bios 702 for Asus P5K Premium in CD version or I have to use only updated USB Key version 0.52?

Theses updates (v0.53 and below) are available easily only on USB version ... but if you can extract the v0.5 iso and apply the patch (like on USB) and re create your iso ... it will work.
BTW, i will try to realase a v0.6 really soon (around one week but got too much work currently ...).

Thank's a lot, but I've already flashed my P5K deluxe with P5K Premium 0702 with USB Key version 0.52.
http://img391.imageshack.us/img391/5...s702wr9.th.jpg
The difference is in PL of RAM timings on the same settings. With P5KDlx bios 902 is 8, but with P5K Premium 0702 is 12.
Very nice and easy tool :up:
Thank's!

Regards!

Thanks a lot !

This is one of the coolest tools I've used and it's helped me flash all my systems over the last few months - great job Koda, you rock!

Asus just released BIOS revisions 0408 and 0410 for the Rampage Formula, but I will wait to use my reliable Koda key, any thoughts on when those versions might get added?

Thanks again for such a useful utility. :up:

408 is already inside the v0.6 (so you can use it since v0.53) ... 410 will be in v0.61 (well, around one or 2 weeks ... i think) ;)

Perfect, I'll keep an eye out for v0.61. Thanks again for keeping this great utility constantly updated (not a simple feat!), I have continually promoted its usefulness to my friends and IT colleagues.

Gonna give this system ago.If i dont report here my bios flash didnt go very smoothly :P

Which mobo ?
Let us know your feelings ;)

Hmm i got no clue how to make this work.im trying the USB thingy but i lack of skill here.
0.6 version usb format tool gives me only option FAT32 even the readme/how_to says fat16.
Im so confused...
EDIT:Ok got it to work but there are no FSB setting in bios so my overclocking attempts will be bit lame since it aint there.
Installed Rampage 403 Bios to my X38 Maximus Formula > No cpu vcore or fsb options after that.

Crossflashing maximus formula to rampage formula works pretty well ... you must have a look to the dedicated thread ;)

Thank you koda. I've been looking for such a tool.

Can you make the changes to the original post? This v0.61 update is going to get lost in the thread.

oups, you're rigth ... post#1 update

@koda,

First, allow me to thank you for creating this wonderful utility.

However, I seem to be having a problem getting it to work.

I downloaded the CD version, extracted the .iso, burned it to a disc.

I booted to the CD, selected my motherboard (Striker Extreme), selected the 1603 BIOS, selected 'No' when prompted to save the current BIOS, selected 'Y' to program.

The Warning about no powering off or resetting comes up, but it does not flash the new BIOS, in fact it just sits there with the cursor after 1603.bin flashing.

I Ctrl-Alt-Del out, no problem, the old (1303) BIOS is still there, nothing has changed.

What am I doing wrong?

I have flashed this board with a floppy before, so I am not sure what the issue is?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Oki ... i have just investigated on it and found one bug (due to my work) about all nvidia based boards (very hard to work without easy access on boards).

I will patch it asap ;)

@koda,

Thank you for taking the time to help me.

I am wondering if you could give me any idea as to when the update might be available?

Thanks again for all your efforts and for producing this excellent application.

i'm currently working on it ... just need a few days !

@koda,

Thank you. I am looking forward to it.

Arctucas,
it will be longer than i thought.
You have to know that before releasing a version, i spend a lot of time to verify and qualify the most i can.
In this case, i just corrupted my nvidia chip mobo (i got only a striker extreme 680i not another one to tune the process) so i need to find an eeprom programmer able to flash a M50FLW080A chip or buy a new chip or maybe a mobo :D

You have to know that Asus (France) seems to not be able to help me and don't really support me for this tool.

I will fix the "nvidia" parts (i know exactly how) but i need a valid mobo to qualify it before releasing to everybody ... so it could take some time.

Really sorry about that. I will inform you asap

regards

So, Koda, you can flash a Maximus II with a P5Q bios with this tool???

Yes the tool authorize to crossflash like you want (even stupid crossflash for example P5B on P5E which mean you will loose your mb :D) when you choose the force option !

So you have to consider a crossflash before clicking ;) (the tool just give you a simple way to crossflash :D)

Cool, with the dual bios chips, bad flashes shouldnt be a problem..... In "theory"......:cool:

@koda,

I am sorry to hear of your troubles.

I appreciate all your efforts, and hope you have better luck in the future.

No hurry, I realize that quality products take time to develop and test.

Thanks again.

After weeks without releases ... i'm able to announce my new release : v0.7

I must tell you one thing before ... i wasn't able to release any version before because i killed my nvidia chipset board (striker extreme nf680i) during testing flashing method.
I asked Asus France to support me with a new bios chip ... or even better any motherboard with nvidia chipset ... and they replyed me :

"No we don't have any mb currently and we are unable to provide you a chip or a new board ... "

Not very kind so i bought an eeprom prog on ebay (which was lost during shipping :/ ) ... so i had to wait until finding an old striker extreme or sparing some cash :d

However ... now i have fixed the nvidia problem (with a very old SE) and can release the key again so here it is the changelog :

v0.7

Fix nvidia chipset flashing method ...
Memtest86+ : Upgrade to 2.10

welcome back koda
nice job man. wait for your new work

@koda,

I was very pleased to see that you had completed the updated version.

However, I am having a different problem flashing my Striker Extreme with this version: When I select the 1801 BIOS and get to the DOS screen, 1801.bin is in the text box as I would expect, but the 'Please Select File' prompt just keeps flashing. Pressing Enter has no effect (I tried several times, waiting a minute or two between attempts), I also cannot change the file name, but I can Ctrl-Alt-Del to restart.

Please advise as to what I may be doing wrong.

Thank you for all your hard work making this application.

P.S. This is the CD version.

Well, I just flashed my striker extreme in 1801 :confused: with the v0.7 USB version (but it dosesn't matter).

Looks like it depends on what chip :( (mine was a winbond one)

Could you, please, tell me what is the model of bios chip (report all what you can read on it ... ) and what is on the screen during the flash (Winbond, STT, ST, Atmel, ...) ?

@koda,

Thank you for the prompt reply.

I cannot see what is printed on the BIOS chip without removing my SB cooler, but here are some screenshots I took as I progressed through the flash attempt:

http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/l...12-8-08001.jpg

http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/l...12-8-08002.jpg

http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/l...12-8-08003.jpg

http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/l...12-8-08004.jpg

http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/l...12-8-08006.jpg

http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/l...12-8-08007.jpg

The last screenshot is where pressing Enter does nothing.

Do you know of another way to find out which BIOS chip I have, maybe software?

I really appreciate your taking time to help me.

Well, last screenshot show that awdflash didn't detect your chip :/

Strange that your SB cooler hide the bios chip ... Did you look the pllc32 chip just behind power/reset/clear cmos buttons ?

Could you please make an attempt with an USB key ;)

I'm thinking about a CD version problem only ... to create the key, you can follow this : http://www.nokytech.net/kodakey/tuto...-creer-sa-cle/

Oki it's french but you just add to follow all the screenshots ... so you have a chance to success without understanding any french word :d

I will try to fix the CD version in case of USB version doing the job ...

FYI, i just (2mn ago) downgrade my Striker Extreme from 1801 to 1603 with the USB one :up:

Edit :
ok, i just found the bug ... it concerns only CD version (i know how to resolve it but it means that i need to maintain a different content for CD and USB ... that's really bad ... need to think about it :/)
Can you try with an USB stick please ...

Edit2 :
Maybe you can try with only one hard drive connected & the DVD drive then boot CD ... it could really work with this configuration.

The last screenshot is where pressing Enter does nothing.

Do you know of another way to find out which BIOS chip I have, maybe software?

I really appreciate your taking time to help me.

Strange that your SB cooler hide the bios chip ... Did you look the pllc32 chip just behind power/reset/clear cmos buttons ?

@koda,

My apologies, I should have mentioned I replace the OEM, I am using a Thermalright HR-05 SLI/IFX.

Oki it's french but you just add to follow all the screenshots ... so you have a chance to success without understanding any french word :d

I will try to fix the CD version in case of USB version doing the job ...

FYI, i just (2mn ago) downgrade my Striker Extreme from 1801 to 1603 with the USB one :up:

Edit :
ok, i just found the bug ... it concerns only CD version (i know how to resolve it but it means that i need to maintain a different content for CD and USB ... that's really bad ... need to think about it :/)
Can you try with an USB stick please ...

Edit2 :
Maybe you can try with only one hard drive connected & the DVD drive then boot CD ... it could really work with this configuration.

I will try the USB method.

As far as using one HDD, I have a RAID 0+1 array.

Thanks again for your patience.

@koda,

Well, the good news is that the USB flash method worked perfectly.

Congratulations on an excellent application!

Thank you for all your efforts.

Well, some users (Arctucas here & Litean on my forum) found that the new CD version don't flash the nvidia based boards (but USB version is fine).
So i worked hard today on this method (again :D), modified a bit, tested, tested & tested ... (USB & CD version) ... and it seems (at least) to work correctly.

So new release with Update to 0.71 for USB version and complete v0.71 CD version.

This v0.71 adds P5Q-Pro 1613 & Rampage Formula 0701 too (minor release for new bios) :D

Download links
USB Key version : v0.7
CD Version (ISO) : v0.71

Well, feel free to report problems.

where are you koda
waitting for your new release
some bios are appear from your last tool version

I am having trouble getting the syslinux part to work....

When i go to the "INSTALL" directory via the windows cmd prompt and then type syslinux -ma E: , i get the following message:

Accessing physical drive: Access is denied. Did not successfully update the MBR; continuing...

Then I'm taken back to the INSTALL directory.

Any idea why this is happening???

EDIT: I'm on Vista 32

Are you running the command promt with elevated privileges (a.k.a. "Run as Administrator")? If not, that might be the reason.

Also, make sure your pen drive is unlocked (some of them allow to disable writes through a physical switch), AND you're using the right drive letter (the "E" you refer to is the pen's letter driv, right?).

That should work. If not, probably only koda can help you.

Cheers.

Miguel

__Miguel__ is right ;)

Are you sure to use the right letter for your pen drive ???

amazing tool !
very easy and work well.
tank you very much :)

Tank's man, for the efforts!

I would just like to say => thanks man :D

bumpage
Thanks for your efforts koda
I have noticed that ASUS have released a P5E3 Pro motherboard which is a spiritual replacement for the P5E3 (standard) as it also has a 1MBit BIOS image.
Is this going to be supported in a future tool and would cross flashing be possible? (even though the P5E3 uses the X38 chipset yet the Pro uses the X48?)
John

John,
well success with this cross flash (P5E3 into P5E3 pro) depends upon the difference between PCB & components.
If there is not really big difference, this could be possible.

About supporting P5E3 Pro, i will look if i can release a new & maybe last release for 775 socket.

Some people asked me about 1366 socket, i can't atm because i don't have any Asus x58 mb in my hands.
It is not very serious to release something that you didn't test ... it is very hard to release versions without any "guinea pig" board ... if any Asus PR read this ;)

Thanks Koda
Well looking at the board layout and manual for the P5E3 Pro it does look practically the same, the only difference is the P5E3 Pro has "Express Gate", P5E3 and P5E3 Pro both have 12VATX connectors instead of EPS12V connectors like other P5E based boards and they both have the same number and position of PCI and PCI-E slots.

John

Can I make a "Lite" version of this tool? :surf:

Ket,
Any help is welcome, please PM me and let me know which mobo do you want to be in charge ;)

@Koda,

I was wondering if you were planning on expanding KodaKey to include Asus' X58 and P55 motherboards?

Thanks again for a great app!

Hey Arctucas,
not for the moment because i don't have any Asus board with theses sockets for deep testing and got some serious health's problems for a few weeks.
