Reverting To Older BIOS Help

[ThePlaneAddict]

I recently updated my Gigabyte Z68x-UD3H-B3 bios to the version with UEFI support. It works great and looks good too but I have a few issues, both being known issues that never got fixes. These were one of the USB 3.0 drivers doesn't work so my back USB 3 ports don't work and the status LED lights are on whenever the computer is on, even in Windows. It's also a little unstable sometimes. Sooo I decided I want to revert back to F12 which is the one right before the UEFI. Whenever I try and update with Qflash it gives me an error something like "Warning!!!! Invalid BIOS Image"

I double checked that I downloaded the correct BIOS for my mobo revision but I always get this issue. The file name is Z68XUD3H.F12 and it somehow says it doesn't work, also then when I try and close the Qflash utility, the computer gets stuck at a blank screen and then boot loops maybe 2-3 times before finally loading Windows.

I found two linkers for how to downgrade the uefi bios to the legacy bios. You need read carefully and make the decision because it may or may not work.
Also can you post the result back whatever it will work or not? Thanks you.

I went with the first one and after digging for about 30 minutes, I was able to find what I needed to get it working properly
