I doubt the flasher will  let you do it.
Keep in mind that the normal BIOS is Award and the UEFI is AMI if i am not mistaking.

You may be able to cross flash only with the right tools and even then who knows what may happen ,considering that at hardware level the boards are identical.
Only if you are willing to loose warranty you could try that ,but you will need help from BIOS professionals.

Thanks for the replies.
Try to install the BIOS using @ BIOS, Q-Flash and Efiflash but not working.

I hope gigabyte 1.x update the UEFI, will have to wait.
