md35273 BIOS update B660H7-M20 motherboard

[andr3y]

Hi guys. I've got a md35273 (MSN 10024677) with MB B660H7-M20 and B660H7W0X.107 BIOS. Tried to update it to 2.12. Downloaded the BIOS from the link on this page https://community.medion.com/t5/FAQs/How-do-I-optimize-the-stability-of-my-desktop-PC-with-an-Intel/... and followed the installation instructions. After running the CMD as Admin and entering the command "UpdateBIOS.bat" all I have is this

And the update doesn't start.

Any ideas how to solve the problem? BTW checked the VMD controller option in BIOS before flashing - it's ON. If I turn it off, the system doesn't boot (BSOD)

Thanks in advance

Hi @andr3y  & @MHDude ,

I´ve doublechecked project details of the system and found out, that with a currently installed version V 1.07 you don´t have to use version 2.12, but version 1.12, which can be downloaded under this link.

In this case, the installation should work under the Windows interface after having extracted the .zip file & using the “Install” context menu of the B660H7W0X.inf file. 

Feel free to leave a feedback if it worked out for you.

Cheers

Diese Empfehlung steht aber nicht differenziert in den FAQs zum Thema 

-> https://community.medion.com/t5/FAQs/How-do-I-optimize-the-stability-of-my-desktop-PC-with-an-Intel/...

Ich denke mir die meisten User sind noch auf V. 1.07, damit sollte die Empfehlung  für das Board ECS B660H7-M20  die Version  2.12 zu installieren ersetzt werden durch die Empfehlung zur V. 1.12; oder zumindest nach Vorversion differenziert werden (falls es überhaupt Boards mit anderer Vorversion gibt)

Gruß, und guten Rutsch!

Hey, thanks for checking everything. Just to clarify: I'm on Version 1.12 which means I can't update to Version 2.12? Is that right and Version 1.12 is the "latest" Version for my board?

[daddle]

@MHDude 

I guess the 2.12 is just a misprint. Otherwise it  would be quite an illogical numbering of updates. But you never know.

You hit it, There are different mainboard revisions in use which require different Bios version. So for your revision the V 1.12 is the latest and recent Bios Version.
@daddle : Appropriate FAQ will be actualised soon.

Hi @Major_ToM 

Thanks for everything. Sorry that you had to endure the trouble we've caused 🙂

Hi @Major_ToM Still no luck for me. I get an installation error from Windows stating "The certificate chain was processed, but processing was stopped at the root certificate because there is no trust relationship with the trust provider."

[Major_ToM]

Hi @andr3y ,

did you read my message #12 and which version did you install on your latest shot? V 1.12 or V 2.12?
Bios version V 2.12 is not compatible to mainboard with V 1.xx Bios versions.

Cheers
