Asrock secure flash check fail

Artas1984 · Oct 12, 2021

I am trying to install a modified BIOS via Instant Flash menu in Asrock X99 motherboard UEFI. What i get is ''secure flash check fail''. It does not matter if the file has no extension, or ''rom'' or ''cap''. Is there a way to install modified BIOS via some app?

ASRock implemented an integrity check for it's self flash capsules recently.

There is a way around it but it only works for select types of mod bioses. Can you link what you are trying to flash?

I used a program called MMTool to delete the CPU microcode in one of the latest bios versions. I am trying to flash my Asrock X99X Fatality Killer 3.1.
