X9SRL-F cannot update BIOS, file ROM ID not compatible

[Operations]

I have here a X9SRL-f (the sticker on the board says so, plus i have 2 more they are identical) When i try to update the BIOS via IPMI or DOS i get:

bios flash rom file romid is not compatible with existing BIOS ROMID

But it is the correct BIOS file

Current BIOS is 3.2

I tried this 3.3 Bios:

End User License Agreement

Any ideas?

OEM boards ?
for AFUDOS there is a flag to overrule this check, but its your own risk.
afudos <your.rom> /P /B /N /C /X

But the bios zip uses AMI.bat. plus there has to be a reason why this happens right?

edit

plus there has to be a reason why this happens right?

OEM bios, old revision (BIOS not suitable)
for that reason i sayd your own risk.

i had to update a SM X11DPL from very first BIOS to latest,
supermicro wrote i have to use a programmer because the updater reported same wrong ROMID.

i.e. Nutanix use supermicro X11DPU with Nutanox OEM BIOS, same msg if you try to update SM X11DPU BIOS file.

What do you mean by "edit"

What do you mean by "edit"

what about answering other questions ?
OEM board ?
old Board revision ? (old rev. do not support Ivy-Bridge)

 

[Operations]

OEM board no, is from a supermicro 24 bay case.
Rev 1.01 according to the sticker on the board. Running an E5-2667 V2.

which BIOS now ?
what Project name ? (BIOS screen)

 

[Operations]

What do you mean by project name?

BIOS 3.2 now.

 

[RolloZ170]

What do you mean by project name?

BIOS project version/name

 

[Operations]

Still not sure what you mean. Main page of BIOS shows:

Supermicro X9SRL-F
Version 3.2

During boot i see Rev 3.2. But the board says rev 1.01.

The bottom says version 2.15.1236

ok should work. if you get the error edit the ami.bat (overrule romid check)
if you have a USB programmer(ch341a i.e.) make a BIOS dump first.

I checked ami.bat:

@echo off

REN AFUDOSU.SMC AFUDOSU.EXE

AFUDOSU %1 /P /B /N /K /R /FDT /MER /OPR

REN AFUDOSU.EXE AFUDOSU.SMC

Do i replace the /Letters with:

/P /B /N /C /X

Or do i just add the missing letters?

 

[RolloZ170]

/FDT /MER /OPR - this updates Intel ME
/P /B /N /K /R - this BIOS
use first
AFUDOSU %1 /P /B /N /C /X

if success later the original code again to update Intel ME

 

[RolloZ170]

reboot after first process.

I tried nu ami.bat with the content:

@echo off

REN AFUDOSU.SMC AFUDOSU.EXE
AFUDOSU %1 /P /B /N /C /X

REN AFUDOSU.EXE AFUDOSU.SMC

But this shows all the options, so the command is wrong.

you wrote
ami.bat <bios to update>
?

 

[RolloZ170]

if you rename AFUDOSU.SMC to AFUDOSU.EXE
you don't need the ami.bat
just
AFUDOSU X9SRL8.B13 /P /B /N /C /X
