Yes your bios is locked but you can get around that by using gigabyte's flash tool.

This forum has more info. As well as info about the hardmod for the extra pipes (if you need it).

The gigabyte flash tool can be found here with gigabyte's 9800 pro bios.
Once you've put that bios on it will no longer be locked and you will be able to use any flash tool with any bios. Another (safer and easier) way is to flash the bios you want on using the gigabyte flash tool which comes with that bios, which i think works too.

I get the same "blocked protect not disabled, status= 0E" error while trying to flash my gigabyte 9550 bios. I have even used the Gigabyte flash utility. Nothing unlocks or gets by the bios lock.

I guess it's only on some Gigabyte cards because I can force flash my Gigabyte 9550 easily with flashrom?? Although no other BIOS's work properly, I can flash it to anything. (Kinda gets scrambly or slloooowww... )

Try flashrom.exe with -sst switch.
For example: "flashrom.exe -f -p 0 yourbios.bin -sst"

Good luck.

kenling, try to use latest flashrom.exe http://www.radeon2.ru/bios/util/flashrom240.zip.
type exact command: "flashrom.exe -f -p 0 <yourbios.bin> -sst", where <yourbios.bin> is your bios file name.
