Flash the driver to the bios with UEFITool, cant update through that file. When i trying it via EzFlash it says This file is not a proper BIOS!

Same Thing for me. This file is not a proper BIOS!

ASUS Z590 ROG MAXIMUS XIII HERO

I did try the Bios Version from the Hompage and the My Asus App. Unmodified updates just fine.

Bios Version: 2203

You can use Asus FlashBack to Flash the modded bios. You may need to use the software called Hard Disk Low Level Format Tool on the flash drive prior to using it.

For the other Asus users without FlashBack they'll need to reprogram their bios chips with a programmer like the CH341A.

After trying all possible methods, I finally came to the conclusion that on Asus laptops where there is no support for the Asus AI suite, the only way to flash the modded BIOS is with a programmer CH341A

not sure if this is related but it may be the asus software recognizes an issue in the image:

UEFITool/UEFIPatch have a bug which results in pad file corruption that affects mostly ASUS motherboards. Pad file corruption will cause boot failure which can only be fixed by flashing a proper BIOS. You can check for this issue by comparing pad files of the modified volume in UEFITool.

you probably have to remod the clean bios image by the proper mmtool version.

apparently you can verify the image before flashing with ubu toolkit / mcextractor:
