Hello again.
You may know me from a recent saga about a modded bios. Short version, I saved my bios through GPUZ which set me up for failure. When I modded then reflashed I bricked ( but finally recovered my card with the gracious help of many kind souls on this forum).

Note: I am mining with my GPUs.
Now, on to Episode 2:
I have another card. RX 580 Armor OC (Hynix) that I also saved the BIOS for on GPUZ then modded with the Polaris one click patch mod. I reflashed and now cArd isn’t right. It only mines at 21mhs and is completely unresponsive to overclock commands etc through Radeon, afterburner, overdriveNTool.
When I look at card thru GPUZ it showed bios version as “blank”. Card is visible through all access points, but something in bios is screwy...
So. I finally saved my other card then got down to trying to save this one. I logged into CMD ATIFlash and ran
ATIFlash -I (see pic)
It noted bios p/n is blank.
I downloaded what I believe is the correct bios from tech power up link I found. And tried to flash it.
Didn’t work, had to do -unlockrom
Then it let me flash once. So I flashed it and it took. Or so it seemed.
Restarted. And now card still isn’t right (stuck at 21mhs, unresponsive to overclock commands). (Note: when I say unresponsive I mean it doesn’t change MHs).
I haven’t been able to reflash it. It says failed to read rom. However just now I tried and it worked. I reflashed with the “original” bios I found online and now I am left with it still saying the bios p/n is blank.
I am sure that’s my problem. Where do I get the right bios and get this fixed? Thoughts? Suggestions? General berating? I’m ready for it all. And working on this for next hour...here’s hoping...
(Pics coming soon...have to edit, they’re too big apparently).

This is the current bios that I am trying to flash on, unmodified, and still running into the problems above.
Current status, card does mine at 21mhs. Doesn't respond to changes. Was able to just try to "reflash" just now with that bios (i renamed as "armor.rom" and it took, but apparently file isn't right as I dont have a device ID or p/n number)...
Further update. I found two different bios that seem to be for my card on tech power up VGA bios directory. I’ve now tried them both.
Same results as pictured above. (Missing bios p/n number and device ID in GPUZ, mining at 21mhs).
What do I do/change/edit?
