Hi again. Sorry to hear of the struggle. The documentation is not very clear and I struggled with it previously as well. You have to use a 4GB USB 2.0 stick formatted in FAT (aka FAT16). FAT32 and NTFS will not work for BIOS Flashback. You cannot format a stick larger than 4GB as FAT. Once I figured that out, BIOS flashback worked. It always failed before.
You also have to rename the CAP file. ASUS Support originally told me to rename it M10H.CAP and that did not work for my Maximus X Hero (WI-FI AC). I later stumbled upon info by accident and learned it needed to be named M10HWIFI.CAP and that workeed. M10H.CAP did not. You will need to find out what to rename your CAP file if you have not already.
The latest ASUS BIOS update seems to have ruined my motherboard. I sent it back on RMA. They couldn't find anything wrong with it and sent it back the same way they got it. After the latest BIOS update my system is unstable with all 4 memory slots populated. Before the latest update it worked fine with 4 sticks. It only functions correctly with 2 sticks now. I'm waiting for a response from them on what they plan to do next. I've already lost a lot of time and money on this, so hopefully they will replace my board with one that works correctly.
