OneB1t You must read first post of this topic. Do exactly what was writen here. If it runs, flash it by moded 1602 bios for HT to work. Use flashback feature (button at back panel).

You need soldering skill, good soldering pen, no shaky hands and you need to be carefull. If you not sure, dont do it.

Jumper near bios chip -> you can flash any bios file

Jumper near pcie slot -> you can start coffee

does ht work with this bios?

 

Tonight I try bios and HT do not work with 0094 BIOS stuck at 22 post code or 18.
In BIOS 1 I flash 0094  in BIOS 2 flash 1602. 

A strange thing happened to me, the first time I flash 0084 bios in M9A all work without mods and CPU too is untouched but next time when I put CPU in socket, I need to solder mod back

Anyone have the hard mods for USB Overcurrent Protection error they can share? Heating fuses etc hasnt worked, and cant flash to new bios unless I can fix this  

Mod and bios flash worked okay btw - thanks @Alex@ro

hi, any chance that someone has working bios with HT for maximus IX formula? 

for HW mod do i need to solder 2 pairs of points (images attached)? Just curious why ready bioses there is only for Apex? Found some recomendations at win-raid but already modded will be far more better.

are you saying we can install xp on m10a with bios 1704? can we flash it with flashback? has it usb overcurrent fix? thanks

@Vital-uK There are ready bioses for the Apex because most people interested in running CFL on Asus Z270 have the Apex, and it is more relevant for competitive overclocking.

Nope... I'm not familiar with any of those things which you are talking about. But if you tested it, and actually found any specific features are missing, please provide links, to where they are properly explained. Then maybe @danske can be made aware and possibly integrate them into a future release. You're going to have to actually test his BIOS first though. Certainly I have no problems with that on my own board. But I'm kindda busy right now. And might not actually get around to it for quite a while myself.

[edit] but for windows xp compatibility aspect - that is not really any problem of the bios modding. The bios is based on M10A (z370) which is why it does not work. You would need to look for other types of solutions for win xp. @dsanke is not going to be providing any kind of a fix for that.

Too bad he can't provide support with Xp ,we need someone with his talent around here :),

What is the Windows Server key that was provided with the boid? Could I use it in my own PC?

wait of 0094 update , xp support must have^

https://www.win-raid.com/t3808f45-Windows-XP-bit-SP-now-working-with-Z-motherboard-and-Coffe-Lake-CPU.html

tested? Run?

THX

I do not do see on facebook, teamAU have bios for APEX X with full support bios

I have not tested that, I just googled "z370 win xp" and I thought that may be interested/useful

So now i tested moded 1704. But i havent SPI. I have tested flashback.. I renamed bin to creative.rom. Flashback flashed it but 00 code. So i switched to bios2 and board have serious problems to start. Must click power button on fornt panel more than 10 times and board jumps to bios2 and run. Onboard power button not responds. So then i flashback it with 1602 and board started and started twice again with "flashing bios......" text. Then started and boot. So flashback 1704 not working for me. I tested this twice with different flash drive so file may be corrupted,.. But no, it just doesnt work,... Yes i read it "Use SPI", but its just an test,..

Yes for OGS bios probably need to isolate pin on CPU for now I have no time to make sticker for isolate pin on CPU
