UEFITool REPLACER is an additional tool that works in conjunction with UEFITool NE. It is designed to facilitate the replacement of firmware modules within UEFI firmware images.
When working with UEFI firmware, you may sometimes need to replace specific modules or components with updated versions or custom modifications. UEFITool REPLACER simplifies this process by providing a streamlined interface for locating and replacing firmware modules.
Here's how UEFITool REPLACER typically works:
- Open the firmware image: Start by opening the UEFI firmware image file (.efi or .rom) within UEFITool NE.
- Identify the module to replace: Use UEFITool NE to browse the firmware image and identify the module that you want to replace. You can usually search for modules by their GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) or by other identifying information.
- Prepare the replacement module: Ensure that you have the updated or custom module that you want to replace the original one with. The replacement module should be compatible with the firmware image and have the necessary modifications or updates.
- Launch UEFITool REPLACER: Within UEFITool NE, activate the UEFITool REPLACER feature. This will open a separate window specifically for managing module replacements.
- Select the original module: In UEFITool REPLACER, locate and select the original module that you identified in step 2. This will mark it for replacement.
- Choose the replacement module: Specify the replacement module file by browsing your system or providing the file path. UEFITool REPLACER will verify the compatibility of the replacement module with the firmware image.
- Apply the replacement: Once you have selected the replacement module, UEFITool REPLACER will automatically replace the original module in the firmware image.
- Save the modified firmware image: After the replacement process is complete, save the modified firmware image file. It is recommended to save it under a new name to preserve the original firmware file.
UEFITool REPLACER helps simplify the process of module replacement within UEFI firmware, making it easier to update or customize specific components. However, it is crucial to exercise caution when performing firmware modifications, as improper changes can lead to system instability or failure. Always ensure you have a backup of the original firmware and proceed with caution when using such tools.
