Flashing RX460 to original BIOS after BIOS flash to unlock shaders.

[DakotaMakaryk1991]

hi all, i been searching all night on the internet and cant find anything so i decided to come to the experts. Last night i flashed my XFX RX460 dual fan 4gb GPU to unlock the shaders and such, this was about 8 pm, and it went smooth and i noticed more stable frames without any dips. anyways i go to play CS:GO after playing arma3 and H1Z1 , (cs is the whole reason i bought this pc in the first place), and it runs fine i play like 2 games in comp so at this point i was gaming for a solid 6 hours with the flashed bios but when i go to quit the game from the main menu screen, my monitor goes black and says no signal, i freak the fuck out shut the pc off with the power switch and move the pc from my 60 inch lcd tv to the regular 24 inch monitor thinking maybe that was it, nope all the components turn on fine but no video output from the gpu. so i unplug the 6 pin power cord from the 460 and take out the hdmi cord from the back, and plug the vga cable into the integrated video port on the back of the tower. starts up but wouldnt bot into windows it kept takiing me to the recovery screen (windows 10) so i goto system restore and notice it made a restore point like 2 hours before it stopped posting video so i restore it. get into windows, turn the pc off plug the gpu power back in and it starts right up using the 460. i goto test cs go again and it does the same thing, so i had to do the same thing again with the system restore, i stupidly try to update the drivers even though i read the new drivers dont recognize the sig on the unlocked bios so i had to go back to vga and uninstall drivers and reinstall old ones and the pc was able to post with the gpu again. so im assuming its the unlocked bios thats doing this and my question to you all is how can i flash back my bios? everywhere online were its giving instructions on how to do so its when you pretty much brick youre card and it wont post at all and shit like that. but i mean mine is working its just counter strike, i tried making a usb drive i can boot off of but i cant shake the read only messages and i have done everything, regedit, security properties everything... i feel like since flashing the bios in the 1st place was so easy that reflashing it back should be easy too aslong as youre cards still up and running like mine is,,,,,, sorry for the long text but its 9 am here in chicago and i have been up allllll night trying to figure this out, i have a saved copy of the original BIOS so i just need directions on how to flash without a usb boot drive because i cant get rid of that damned read only i think maybe atiflash? but im not totally sure and i think im lucky i havent bricked it yet so i wanna be forsure/// thank you guys in advance. time is precious and i appreciate yall giving me a bit of yours.....btw my pc is brand new got it december 21'st.. i5-6400t,,,12 gb ddr4,,,,2tb HDD.... and the RX 460 with a EVGA 600w psu. thanks again.



in short how can you flash a gpu bios with atiflash or something similiar, like i posted i have the original BIOS saved

I can't read this.

You're going to brick it, cry about it, and regret it.

Don't bother trying because it won't work.

I am too lazy to put an effort to read the wall of text, so I am just gonna call the expert to scold him.

@eidairaman1 all yours.

Congratulations dude you screwed up your card bad. Contact the card manufacturer technical support team and get the original bios from them along with the proper software tools and commands, make sure you get the model, serial and SKU numbers off the card so you can give them that info.

Make sure to use the igp on the motherboard or get a second card so you can enter correct commands.

If it still fails you are shit outta luck and need to get a new card, there ain't rma for this situation so forget thinking you can get away with it.

Last but not least read my signature.

i allready flashed it and i allready have a bootable drive with atiflash and the original bios, and the card is still working it just locks up during csgo so i wanted the atiflash commands but you guys are really cool though atleast you know alot about computers and make new comers eel welcome. its ok im angry alot too

Sorry, I may be wrong, but you indicate, that new BIOS and old drivers runs well, new BIOS and new drivers => black screen. My opinion is, that the AMD/nVidia/Intel - boys can read the same web pages, where you found the new BIOS. You bought XFX RX460, and their job is to watch on you have what you bought or black screen. If you know, how to stop any unwanted windows/drivers updates, you may use the new BIOS without fear. But anytime, you let windows - and windows 10 are very violent - to touch their windowsupdate servers, you may be sure, they download the "new" drivers soon, and the new drivers recognise the fake BIOS and give you black screen again.
AFAIK the best way to flash anything on PC is to use some DOS based OS, (Windows 98 was the last DOS based), now you can look for FreeDOS floppy disk image, I hope the USB version mast be ready, too.
I can recomend to anybody the only way, you can full controll the windows running PC: install the linux host and "qemu" virtualiser for free, and look for configuration of the virtual machine with "passthrough" of your GPU. Even with this system, I fall into trouble, because the update were starting anytime I started the virtual machine - until I closed the way the updates went on. The problem could be with the drivers, because the official support does not offer their archives, and you must carefully keep your original DVD sold with GPU.
Fight on your CS, not versus MS/AMD/nVidia ;-)

It is not the fact of being angry, just that there has been a case of these going on. Turn on computer and immediately start pressing the F8 key, keep on tapping until you see windows boot options, select Start Windows in Safe mode with networking.

Download display driver uninstaller, unplug ethernet cord or disable your wifi adapter. Run DDU in safe mode, restart the system. Get the original bios put back in from the manufacturer under their technical support team's directions. Reinstall your chipset driver, test for stability. Then put in gpu driver, if it still locks up go buy a new card and this time don't screw it up.
