probably the wrong version of ATI Flash. I uploaded the latest one which supports the 4 series cards in the OP Its for Windows. I belive the DOS version only works on 2 series cards and below.

i don't want it to flash it to a rx580 only modded rx480 bios.

if a create a backup of my bios the file is 256 KB, some moded bios i found to download are 512 KB. they also working? when i open my saved bios file with the Polaris BIOS Editor, there is a warning, This BIOS is less then the standard 512 KB size. Flashing this BIOS may corrupt your graphics card.

thanks

I want to add UEFI support to my Radeon HD7850. I asked Sapphire for a patched BIOS and they send me a file with .ul2 extension. Can I flash it with this guide, do I have to convert it to .rom or do I have to request a .rom file from them? I've attached the file as well as original .rom to this post if it helps.
