searching for ASUS Prime X570 PRO bios dump

[Bartoloni]

i have a board that shows only the "red" light on DRAM LED...
the customer guarantees 100% that it happened after a BIOS update

searching on ASUS site all the bios are not "complete" (33554432 bytes)
this is the link to official downloads: https://www.asus.com/it/Motherboards...HelpDesk_BIOS/

Can anyone help with this? its' possible to recreate a full binary from an original .CAP ?

(i have not yet dumped the eeprom)

Thank you very much for your time Peste
here the dumped original bios (the strange thing is that is 33555200 bytes ... i've used the TL866II+ that detect correctly the eeprom.. W25Q256JW )

(removed "malformed" dump)

it's longer .. remove the bios chip from the motherboard, put it in the adapter and then read it .. or stick wires between the chip and the programmer, don't use the clip..

Just upgraded the XGECU software and TL866 firmware and now the reading is correct...
here the dumped bios with a correct lenght:

(i'm using wires directly on de-soldered eeprom)

It was possible to recover safely using "USB BIOS FlashBack"

And with such long wires, there may be errors when reading and writing, for this there is a special connector near the bios flash for dumping.
And it was not necessary to solder flash.

This motherboard do not provide the ASUS flashback. (is not a feature and there is not the flashback button)

i saw near the eeprom the TPM module connector... but.. is a TPM connector.. not sure it can be used to connect the programmer to the eeprom..

as my first try i connected all the 8 wires directly to the eeprom ( directly on PCB without de-soldering the chip) but the TL866II+ was not able to recognize the chip. after that i desoldered it.

(wires are longer because they was the same used to dump directly on the mainboard but i dumped the chip 3 times without any change on md5.. and i'm pretty sure was not corrupted.. also using my serials-reader a lot of infos are read correctly. www.wcn.it/BIOSdump2license.zip)

Bios from the Asus site is transferred from CAP to BIN.

Re: searching for ASUS Prime X570 PRO bios dump

But from asus site in bios you will lose SN, MAC, UUID. You need to edit dump.

the dump need to be edited manually using an hexeditor?

No, just copy from one window and paste it into another window and save.

If i can ask... using what tool you was able to identify this address?
(sorry for boring you ... but i'm not a bios specialist and i'm very interested on understanding what "happens" on these eeproms)

(on the version provided by Iotas, at this address there are no data.. but FD44 tool can read correctly the MAC address and other data)

Using HxD hex editor i searched for the word ASUSBKP

Re: searching for ASUS Prime X570 PRO bios dump

Same thing, DRAM led lighted.... with your help i was able to obtain a flashable firmware starting from an old one.. the 2407 and with this, the PC started again (a firmware update for LED started also with a warning about "not shutdown PC" )... after reboot.. every is working (no idea what maximum bios release can be used without DRAM issues)

Looking at original bios dumped there are 2 address related to serial number:

(maybe it's necessary to find BSA ? )
