ATI's flashing programs query the device ID to know which GPU to expect

Could you of edited the program to identify the the new ID code?

Steevo · Jan 28, 2007, 07:31 PM

Brave soldier. Or is that solder?

Anyone ever figure out what the extra molex connectors are for the on these cards however?

yep i looked into that as well but it was more complicated because i would have to find all places and there are also some places where it checks for 42** which are extremely hard to find

AshenSugar · Jan 28, 2007, 10:12 PM

good thing you had the skillz to recover from that lol.

i flashed an 9800 with 9500bios, but i was able to recover that by hot swaping cards using an old card i had laying around (ati something or other) i know, hotswaping cards for such reasions isnt the best idea but i was depret, i wanted my 9800se>pro@xt back :P

AshenSugar · Jan 29, 2007, 04:33 AM

humm, i remmber when u could rename ur card in the 9800 days, i made mine say it was a 9600 and had people freaking out on another forum (they where all posers i wanted to mess with them

)

tkpenalty · Jan 29, 2007, 09:53 AM

Oh dear... I can't imagine someone like W1zzard doing something like this T_T.

EDIT: I did something this stupid once... backing up data on my mobile rack drive, it then finished (I thought) and I PULLED THE MOBILE RACK OUT WHILE THE PC WAS ON. Saving grace was that the data wasnt lost, but I had to merge some files (lol half an EXE) together.

{Sniping}Waste · Jan 29, 2007, 03:40 PM

Thats much easier then what Im doing. I unsolder the 8 pin EEPROM and hot flash it on another card then solder the EEPROM back. THank for finding a easier way.

W1zzard
First of all, I had bad flash on my X1900XTX with X1950 PRO bios.

I was curios about this atiflash options:

-scansii , siireset and siiuprog

My card was reporting this:
atiflash -ai -sst
Adapter 0 (BN=01, DN=00, PCIID=72C1102, SSID=E190174B )

ASIC Family : RV5XX
FLASH TYPE : SiI 1930
Firmware Version : 0.0
Firmware Variant : 0

And then I've done that:
atiflash -p 0 orig.rom -siiresrt=1 -siiuprog=1 -scansii
Actually that reported fail and that 0% was flashed but probably it was enough.

After this I've tried your method as above didn't work and I think I've screwed my card.
I used your pin reset method and mange to flash back to original bios.
Now the card is working and booting up but I've got serious screen corruption.

Any ideas ?
Thing is that just before that pin flash I've tried normal flash:

Chat1000 · Dec 29, 2007, 05:31 PM

I have the same problem. I have flash a BIOS on my new GeCube 3850 TurboX III, and now atiflash/ flashrom says "ati adapter not found".
Somebody know where i can find the bios chip of the 3850?

Can be that one?: http://www.datasheetcatalog.com/data...10SI-2.7.shtml

tigger · Dec 29, 2007, 05:39 PM

Look for a small 8 pin chip like this-

It could be a st chip,maybe 25PXXXXX number.

Can you post a pic of the back of your card?

Chat1000 · Dec 30, 2007, 09:39 AM

There are 6 8pin chps on the back side of the card

first: 2times
LM137
PALGL

second: 2times
uP7706U8
PCP78H

third: 1time
uP6101BU8
V6U797

fourth: 1time (on that one, there is the nuber 58 writed from hand on it)
ATMEL702
25F512AN
SO27 or SU27

[img=http://img508.imageshack.us/img508/7381/img0283aja7.th.jpg]
This is not my card, but it looks almost like mine.

tigger · Dec 30, 2007, 11:39 AM

I think the eeprom is this one-->25F512AN

I think so too.
I have connected pin 1 and 8, but atiflash still says no adapter found.

Is it allways pin 1 and 8 or it can be other too? Im from garmany and dont understand the data sheet

tigger · Dec 30, 2007, 12:01 PM

Try asking w1zzard.that is a differant eeprom to the ones on the 1900/1950 cards.

Chat1000 · Dec 30, 2007, 12:05 PM

ok thank you, i will write w1zzard a PM
I have a idea:
If i connect the Output of the eeprom with ground, then the voltage on Output is 0V and this is like the eeprom is empty. And then i can flash the original bios and otherwrite so the old data.
Is it possible that that work?
