Asus Z690 ProArt Creator WiFi (Thunderbolt 4) + i7-12700K + AMD RX 6800 XT

@CaseySJ just for info, as it could happen to others, with the new AppleALC kext my front panel mike is not working. If you remember I already had this issue.
Everything works with attached version and ID 13 (0D000000).
Hope this helps.

I've been wasting a few days here and I'm still kinda lost in this process. This is way over my head, haha!

I've tried to follow all steps with the UEFI NE tool to extract the bin and sct files, uploaded to UEFI Tool web tool and tried to replace updated (unlocked BIOS) bin with the UEFI Tool 0.28 and saved the updated .cap file, but, alas, it will not load in the BIOS.

ALL BIOS files I've tried to load with 2305 installed have failed, and not even let me try.

9901 also does not work for me. Denied flashing with EZ flash and flashback

So, I was wondering,

Do you happen to have a 2305 modified BIOS that I could use that I could then rollback? I have a Z690 ProArt WIFI, just to clarify.

Or a 2004 or 2103 would be OK, too, as I'm planning on reverting to 2004 or 2103. I'm assuming the correct process is to modify the 2305 BIOS to unlock and be able to rollback, then use an official BIOS downloaded from asus for 2004 or 2103

I have TB1 (or maybe TB2, not 100% sure which it is, but older) audio device so that's all I need to be working. I'm assuming the rollback BIOS will downgrade the thunderbolt firmware?

Just to confirm, did you happen to have a Thunderbolt device TB1 or TB2 that worked after downgrading?

Thanks so much for your help, BTW!! if I can't get this to work, I guess I'm going to have to send the motherboard back to Asus for a replacement motherboard with a *hopefully* older BIOS...that's if they even have it in stock.

If you have Thunderbolt NVM36 installed then when you install BIOS 9901, it will downgrade the TB4 firmware back to 31, no questions asked, and TB1/2 devices will live on once again!

that sounds wonderful but the 9901 won't install for me.. says it's not a valid bios file

Hi, just double checking: your external drive ejects briefly when you connect it to the front Type-C? Does it happen just on macOS or Windows as well…?
Thanks
 
I just wanted to report that I had been having trouble with major OS slowdowns... opening apps, windows etc...

I noticed it was happening after leaving the computer unattended... I have all sleep timers, hard drive sleep, screensavers and anything sleep related disabled. At first I thougnt it might be video card related, but disabling the NVMEfix.kext seems to have fixed the issue. The slowdowns have not happened since disabling the kext.
I'm using a 2TB WD Black SN770 in this build.

Yes on macOS - front USB-C Port mounts drive, un-mounts a second later, then re-mounts 5 or so seconds later.

On Windows - I can't recall it un-mounting/re-mounting however it doesn't seem stable. Tends to drop out when transferring files, and, when it doesn't drop out, it takes way longer than expected. The power is there as it super-fast charges my phone. So must be some other sort of connectivity issue. I will test again for confirmation.
