ASUS: "Winflash does not support this BIOS update."
It appears certain versions of EZ Flash
will not display any filenames unless their extension is .CAP
or .ROM
.
The file that I downloaded was named:
UX330UAK-AS.302
I made two copies of this file, namely:
UX330UAK-AS302.ROM
UX330UAK-AS302.CAP
Both of these copied files with "correct" extensions were then shown in EZ Flash 3
, and I could successfully update the firmware.
Interestingly, it seems this is an unlisted bug - the version of EZ Flash 3
in the new firmware that I flashed showed all files, regardless of extension.
Regarding updating via Windows, I can only assume that Winflash
needs to be updated to support the UX330, which is newer than the filestamps on the latest version at the time of writing.

I'm trying to flash a new BIOS/UEFI firmware on my ASUS UX330UA. It currently has firmware version 300.
Easy Flash 3 (inside the current firmware)
Using
EZ Flash 3
(booting to setup), I can browse the folders on my USB key, but cannot see any files. Why can I only see directories, but not files?Windows
I have already removed and re-installed the latest ATK, and also installed the latest version of
Winflash
from theDriver and Tools
tab underSupport
.When I run
Winflash
, I get the following error:How can I flash the most up-to-date BIOS/UEFI firmware?
