hello dears
i bought a shipment from china which was 78pcs of ASUS 750TI
but they sent me GTS250 which they flashed the video card to show ASUS GTX750 TI 2048MB

the drivers will not work properly and the screen lags because it thinks it is asus 750ti but the real is gts250
now i want to flash the bios to gts250 to driver work properly and be able to sell these peice of craps

i tried nv flash but with every command it says :

NVIDIA Firmware Update Utility (Version 5.227)
Simplified Version For OEM Only

Adapter: GeForce GTX 750 Ti (10DE,1380,1043,0000) H:--

any help would be appreciate so much
 
If u use Nvflash u need to write: nvflash -4 -5 -6 filename.rom

If i am not mistaking this will overwrite almost everything if not everything.
 
these are undefiend when i run these parameters i shows program parameters and not go to flashing

i used bootable usb to blind flash but no result please check image

nvflash -i0 --protectoff

Also disable in device manager in Windows, try this and tell me how that goes. The parameters might work outside Windows.

Hmm, only now I ask myself if there's a hardware or software lockout to prevent flashing. Does that even exist?

There aren't that many commands you can try.
 
Any chance of filing a dispute with eBay first? It's probably going to be pretty annoying and lengthy to go through, but it's likely the best thing to do.

This is as I feared, you bought the cards from a site with quite high risks of getting ripped off. I've known about this site for some time, a few relatives of mine buy electronic components from there, and it's 50/50 that they got ripped off on what they sent off.

GPU's in bulk are especially known to be reflashed cards.
 
Have you tried the command line force command -f?

Example: nvflash -f -5 -6 yourbios.rom
 
Why not send these 78 cards back where you bought them from for a refund?!
 
flash with the latest utility you can download and flash from root dir C:/ not a sub dir as you are now trying to
 
You've been defrauded, so why don't you try to get your money back instead, like rcoon said?

my dear the country name is "china" .
they send these as 750ti so why do they sent these craps if they accept return?
so they dont accept return

thanks for your care
 
I wouldn't put much hope into a refund from these jokers either unless you paid by credit card then contact your card service and see if they will do a charge back.

You Are flashing from a command prompt (dos box ) you should have booted to command prompt only

If that's the card (s) then they also want a "DAMM" good cleaning

Purchasing from alibaba.com is like rolling a dice. I purchased an aluminum HTPC case from there once. Cheap as hell. Got it and threw it away. Scratches all over the places, missing pieces, bent places.

That place is a joke.

That sounds only good on paper. Seller asked me to send it back and the shipping cost alone was triple of what I paid it for. Not worth it and the seller probably knew that.
