This is just for the EVO. If somethings not clear or you can think of a better way of explaining let me know.
1. If you haven't already, download BUPDATER version 1.22, make something to boot real DOS and make sure you have backed up your BIOS.
2. Enter BIOS, select F5 and load optimized settings. Save and exit F10. If you want to be ultra cautious you could check stability, in particular RAM using optimized defaults.
2. Reboot to real DOS and run "BUPDATER /pc /g".
3. Select 0804EV2.ROM and yes to flash. Note that if you select and read a valid ROM image and decide not to go ahead the /pc switch seems to do something anyway and you will probably need to go into the EFI BIOS again and save your settings. Seems like a bug in BUPDATER for it to do that. It may post with "press F1 to enter setup" after detecting improper BIOS settings however if you have "ignore F1" set in the BIOS then it will try to boot with the improper settings so make sure you hit the delete key and get into the BIOS setup before trying to run your OS regardless and save your BIOS settings after checking to be safe.
4. Once you have successfully flashed the modded 0804 image 0804EV2.ROM you can go into the BIOS setup and flash any of the other BIOS images up to 1305 using EzFlash. If you want to use 0804 you can flash over the modded one with the original 0804 to keep things straight if you wish.
0804EV2.ROM will only work for images upto and including hardware version 2. If some time later Asus does another hardware version increment then a newer modified 0804 image would have to be made.
