Another option is to use disk management to shrink an existing disk by say 100mb to create a small bit of space at the end of an existing drive, then to format this partition FAT32 and copy file across. This is something I had to do as I didn't have any USB sticks handy.
This is what I did too. Worked like a charm, after I just deleted the partition but it’s small enough that you could just leave it for future. Or just buy another USB drive lol
Thanks, this got me going in the right direction. I had trouble with the renaming of the file. When you download it from ASUS it comes with a re-namer, don't use it. Leave it long. I could never get the shortened file name to work.
thank you!!! that was the solution - the ONLY one i found anywhere - not even ASUS clarifies this! and it is very common for a USB drive to be formatted NTFS - thank you SO muh for taking the time to post this important solution!!!
It works with NTFS drives. The mistake I did when I got this error last time, and I believe it's the same most people do, is trying to copy the CAP bios file directly from the zip folder to another folder. We need to actually _extract_ the CAP file. Then the bios will read it from any NTFS SSD or HDD drive without problems, which would be safer than using a FAT32 USB drive.
Ok guys! I’m sure I’ll be the king and hope that this comment will be pinned for helping others The problem is that you have to make sure that the model of your motherboard is the exact that you have. For example: I was convinced that mine was the B550M-PLUS but in reality I had the model with simply the label WI-FI so it changes everything. It turns out that the bios file is not the same but I’d say so. So be careful find the exact file for your MB model. Read on the box and find the support download without omitting anything
I had the same problem.I had a 2018 BIOS.If you want to upgrade to 2021,you first need to upgrade from 2018 to 2019,then to 2020 and then to 2021.Found the solution in the comments below
The only thing I would add would be that it might be smart to take the time to do a regular "slow" format of the Flash Drive, I know that sometimes Quick Format can cause errors and with a BIOS update, that is not something I would want to risk
Want to add that it was giving me the same problem even after I formatted to Fat32. The issue was that I downloaded the wrong file. There's a difference between "ASUS ROG MAXIMUS VIII HERO" and "ASUS ROG MAXIMUS VIII HERO ALPHA". These are 2 different motherboards, so make sure you're actually downloading the correct motherboard driver.
You cannot update bios from older version to newest between years (from 2018 to 2020). You need update it for few steps. From 2018 to 2019 and then to 2020.
This video was produced last year at the time of the recording I was going from 1405 to 1407 and I was not suggesting that you can skip BIOS generations "although I have successful done so for over 20 years". This was simply a video about this specific error message.
I had this problem on my ROG STRIX X-470i gaming ( wifi ) motherboard. No matter which bios I tried to update to I got the same error message ( Not a proper bios ). What worked for me was to turn off fast boot first, then only update bios from the 2000s to the 3000s and then the 4000s. I eventually went from bios version 2008 up to version 4502 which is the latest version, it will allow me to upgrade to windows 11 upon officail release. Thanks for the video.
I tried updating on my prime x470 pro from a 4xxx bios version (from 2019) to the latest 5037 version (from 2021) and it wouldnt work. I first had to update to the first 5xxx bios version and then the update to 5037 worked.
As a side note, you can always just have a couple gigs shrunk and formatted to fat32 just for these updates. I'm horrible at keeping up with flash drives so this was the best method for me 🤣🤣
For Motherborad ASUS PRIME Z390-A/H10 owners. It might be a great motherboard but it sometimes comes with much BIOS problems for unknown reasons, the worst of which was corrupt header on booting. Updating the BIOS may or may not solve all errors but my own experience teach the following: 1. I tried to update my BIOS (2019 version) to the latest (06.Nov.2020) Version 1704. And it failed. 2. I tried an earlier version (1502) and it was successful. Why? I have no idea, unless something has went wrong with ASUS programmers. Thus, I suggest to download all BIOS updates that have been issued after your BIOS version and copy them to your USB device as shown in the tutorial above. Follow the instructions for the EZ Flash 3 utility and try installing the first BIOS version update. If successful or failed, move on to the next update, and so forth. As for the corrupted header error: try to disable Fast Boot.
Thank you Bro :) Your video was very helpful and I will spread this video to asus users in Korea. Many people in Korea avoid Asus because of this problem, and they still use old Bios because they still can't find a solution.
Whats do you mean old? is that the ugly looking bios in blue and white color tone... I have that one my m32 kabylake. Its posible to change? updating the bios only change bios version but not UI
That worked for me thank you. And for those who are using a USB drive, make sure fast boot is disabled otherwise you will not be able to see it within the bios
The problem stemmed from downloading Bios via bundled Armour Crate software. The name of the cap file is not correct for my B550-plus. I downloaded direct from website and it came with rename app. With instructions to rename. Worked perfectly
For anyone else having this issue the fix for me was not extracting the ZIP file using the windows zip tool and instead using 7-zip. I just right clicked on the file, then 7-Zip->Extract Here. When I extracted it that way it worked fine. Interestingly there is a warning message in the 7-zip dialog box when the extraction completes stating that there were extra bytes at the end of the file. I think Asus zipped the file in a weird way or with a non-standard ZIp compression tool.
Mate I didnt work for me Im trying to upgrade a A320M-K, the last BIOS that I can upgrade was the 5606, but trying to upgrade to any of the 3 newest BIOS is imposible, I want to uprade to install a new Ryzn 5 4600G
FOR EVERYONE THAT STILL GOT PROBLEMS AFTER THIS VIDEO TRY THIS OUT IT WORKED FOR ME --> SOLUTION : For some reason it doesn't worked with 32 gb ram , so i took 2 of my ram sticks out and tried with 16gb ram and booom it worked :) If u got 32 gb ram try with 16 gb ram / If u got 16gb ram try with 8 gb ram
I had same problem when trying to update an asus board from 2015 firmware to 2018 firmware, I had FAT32 on USB everything seemed to be correct. In the end I downloaded winrar, then downloaded the drivers again and extracted them using winrar to the USB stick. I also instead of using the latest version I updated from 2015 firmware to 2016 then tried the 2018 drivers again and it worked finally.
After you use the rename If there’s a lock icon on the bios file just right click you will see something like owner just press on it to change it then copy it to the usb
I have the same error on an X570-ACE. I originally attempted the online update but that returned that it could not find the site. Edit: Thanks after finding an 32 GB unused USB stick in my collection and formatting it to FAT32 instead of NTFS the firmware update worked. I wish the error message would have told me that it would have saved me 20 minutes of trying before I gave up and did a Google search..
How hard would it be, ASUS, to put a readme file that says "Format a USB drive in FAT32 with n size storage and use BIOS renamer to rename file and put on the USB FAT32 formatted USB drive, use the UEFI BIOS utility and install from that. Also, make sure Bitlocker is off if on BEFORE bios update"
Hello Nelson, I happen to have the same issue, but I can perfectly install the latest BIOS updates, the problem is, I want to install the first release bios for the motherboard Asus Prime H310M-E. Yes, I want to downgrade but at some point the ez flash utility doesn't let me flash older BIOS files. Any idea on how to approach this?
Hey! Thx for replying, yup, I looked everywhere and nothing. Even contacted ASUS support, but they only offered to repair it after some basic Troubleshooting. I guess I'll take that.
Hi. I don't see the .cap file. From Asus Download Center, I downloaded asus_tp410uf_305_installer.zip. When extracted all, I got an installer folder with the installer.exe file, only. Unfortunately, I have to involve 2 laptops. The one that needs the bios updated is giving me attituded, so I have to research and retrieve any help from another laptop. How should I go about getting the .cap file? (This adventure started for me, when I got what I call the 'blue-screen of death with yellow and white writing'. This was apparently triggered as I was copying pictures to an external hard-drive, for a 'cleanup pictures project' I am starting. It happened more than once. It worked better as I broke down the batches into smaller amounts. Once I got to some family recorded short clips and tried copying 2 at a time, the darn screen came back.) Thanks for any assistance.

I just brought a vivobook ryzen7, it was working fine, I reformatted windows , the driver for network adaptor has disappeared, on windows start up I get error can't connect to network , cmd: / bypassnro Wifi airplane mode d okhasn't exist I tried to reinstall bios network but doesn't work file not uefi Is my windows 11 install corrupted .did som9ne switch off the power to network adaptor Or delete from windows system?

Pro Tip: the issue is not with the format. It is with the long file names, or names with spaces in them. If you just put the file in the root of the drive, or in a folder called \temp\ it would have worked. No need to re-format. I've got 17 machines with this situation. :)
Well....I'm calling BS on your 17 machines because I got the "not a UEFI BIOS" message after renaming the bios file as suggested by Asus when downloading it.
@@Airplane_Willy thanks for calling me out, I meant to follow up. I did not have 100% success after all. Thought I did. I have identical machines that are using identical files and some refuse to take it, while others are fine.I haven't figured out why yet.
@@jonnyphenomenon Well....in all fairness your "temp" folder in the root of C did work. I put the .cap file in 3 different directories and the only one that did not give the uefi error was the temp directory. So that does work no matter why the error is coming up.
@@Airplane_Willy I haven't figured out why the remaining machines in my classroom haven't taken the update, but I might have another look at it tomorrow. I was convinced it was the long file names when I made my initial post because I got half way around my room successfully when I made the post, and that may still be part of it, but on the machines that refuse to take the update, I don't know... It could be the version that's installed at the moment being too old and needing an intermediate version first, or possibly that 5 or of my 17 machines have a i7 11700kf, vs a 11700k...(so, not actually identical)
A short file name X570.PAC did not work when I tried it from the root folder of a NTFS formatted drive. However I did originally have 1001 firmware from 2019 and the update was to 4XXX from 2022.
Ok, a few questions: did you double verify that you downloaded the correct bios for your exact motherboard? for instance on my board they made a Wi-Fi version and a non Wi-Fi version and if you download the non-wifi version it will not work. also what version is your motherboard currently and what version are you going to?

What if the only options for me are "NTFS" and "exFAT" ??
Upgrading my BIOS in 2023 many thanks!
Thanks! You are the god. The shitty board is updating now. If it fails in the end, I will cancel my Like hehe
Let me know how it goes!
@@The_Retro_Room Good news! I'm writing this comment on Ubuntu 20.04! This shitty OS is super-fast and beautiful, but there are other petty problems waiting to be solved by such a novice as me. OTL
Thank you , it worked 💪
You're welcome!
Even if my usb was fat32 & I had this error, I formatted to Fat32 and the same error occurred.
It worked for me. Also works using FAT (im using a very small (and old flash drive)
I'm glad it worked for you!
What is mean not a proper bios file ?
Great video but did not solve the problem. Reformatted, extracted 3607, not a valid bios
I put the files in all my drives including windows recovery and it worked with one of them, all drive was ntfs. But it didnt work on my main drive
i keep getting the same error tho, "selected file is not a proper bios"
Are you 100% certain you downloaded the exact BIOS for your motherboard?
@@The_Retro_Room SOLUTION :
For some reason it doesn't worked with 32 gb ram , so i took 2 of my ram sticks out and tried with 16gb ram and booom it worked :)
If u got 32 gb ram try with 16 gb ram / If u got 16gb ram try with 8 gb ram
after that I get "Failed image integrity". is there no end to it?
Thanks for the video. This is so frustrating, why even make NTFS storage devices browsable if it can't read the file afterwards.
What if my flash drive doesn’t have the option of fat32 ?
Thank you for this info
I have a X99-A Asus, I havent updated it since I got the computer, that would be back in 2015. I have triple checked that I get the right files, but it still wont work. Does the type of memory stick have something to say?

What if my Mouse and keypad wont work in windows but will work in bios, Cant update via bios cause of this problem.
It fixxed it thanks bro keep it up
That simple, it should be possible to install from NTFS partition... ASUS please fix that...
i already have fat32 format but have the same problem. what a ball´s pain
One solution i found out working is to use winrar to extract the file. Dont use windows default one.
Wow it worked! Thank you
You're welcome!
NELSON 5 TECH I thought updating my bios would solve my fans not showing up on bios but it didn’t
Interesting! Can you access your fans with the ASUS utility within windows?
NELSON 5 TECH yeah with the aura sync I’m able to control 2 of my fans but the other 2 on the front I can’t. The front 2 fans are connected to my AIO usb connector, should I just connect them directly onto the motherboard?
Thank you Bro :)
Bro I was doing the regular b550 f gaming instead it was the b550f gaming WiFi 🤦
So after you downloaded the proper firmware you were able to install without issue?
@@The_Retro_Room yep
That's great!
BRUH! I was doing the asus tuf x570 plus WiFi and didn’t realize I just had the x570 plus IT WORKS NOW 😩😭😭😭 thanks so much man!
Was this comment for me or for Pick1e?
It Didn't work.
i have dwnloaded an exe file of bios from asus website; what should i do?
Maybe this video will help you out: ruclips.net/video/Em7SRaG3L_0/видео.html
If this error persists. Create a new D disk, put the bios driver on the D disk, the problem is solved.
Worked for me thanks.
Had same problem on ASUS Z690 bios v1720 but the USB was FAT32 and had to format it to NTFS
La solución en Español: Actualicen los drivers del chipset de la tarjeta madre, y luego intenten cambiar la BIOS y verán que ya no sale el error y les dejara instalar la BIOS ya sea nueva o antigua.. a mi me funciono 100%
Ninguna de las dos soluciones me sirvió. Lo que tuve que hacer para que funcionase fue primero actualizar la bios a la primera versión 5xxx del 2019 que salió y a continuación ya me dejó actualizar a la última versión.
Thank you for this solution!
I formatted the USB but I still came up with the same error message
It's interesting.... It works for some but not others. Sorry it didn't help you out.
Tried long format on USB and downloaded previous versions didn't work either
