HELP - vega64 primary bios corrupted

[zo0lykas]

Hi

primary bios is corrupted due my idiotic move, by rushing and not keeping attention i chose wrong bios, and now my gpu card vega 64 is working only on secondary bios.

on primary bios black screen when try boot pc, motherboard show gpu fail indicator.

i tried a lots of way to restore/fix and etc but nothing helped, any suggestions how i can restore primary gpu to factory one ?

i tried in windows mode with atiflash get error msg "subsystemIDs mismatch"
i tried create bat file with commands iside
i tried create a usb bootable, and forse install bios in dos, but get error msg "0FL01"
tried use command in windows "atiflash -unlockroom 0" no results

looking forward
cheers

Well let's start with pictures of you card, ie white stickers make and model... if you can get pictures of the memory chips that may help too.
@eidairaman1 paging the doctor any help with finding a correct bios?
Why were you trying to bios flash your gpu?
Does your motherboard see the gpu in the primary position under the bios screen?
If you have an extra video card to put in your system and put the vega into the second slot with the switch in primary, does ati flash see the card?
@eidairaman1 @NdMk2o1o any thoughts?

thanks for quick respond

lets start i have msi vega 64 air cooled,but is under water block at moment

sure after i fail with bios, i found a correct one lol, and reason why i flashed bios, like i mention before its underwater block so water higher clock speed so downloaded bios "water cooled version" but didn't look gpu brand

i dont know, i cant enter in bios, if gpu set in primary bios, have black screen

and sadly but dont have second gpu

here is few pictures

Normally hitting F2 or F10 will get you into your motherboard bios, sometimes it is delete. I am sure the guys will need to see the white stickers on your card for an accurate bios/help.

If it has a bios switch, can you boot in position 2 then switch to position 1 and then flash it?

 

[zo0lykas]

i know how to enter in bios, i telling you i cant enter, before boots bios, motherboard scanning cpu,ram,gpu, and led stack on gpu, and nothing, until this wee test not finish no bios

Does this card have a dual bios switch?

This.

Maybe does have a switch

 

[MrGenius]

It's an Air Boost, which is the same PCB as a reference card. So it definitely has dual BIOS(not to mention the fact he already said so). He just needs to run amdvbflash in command line mode and force flash it that way.

If it works on the secondary vBIOS, boot into Windows with that, move the switch to the primary location and force flash again.

Use the command prompt instead of that program you took a screenshot of.

 

[eidairaman1]

From what you said you have a dual bios switch.

Ok make sure the card is in the working bios position.

Open GPU-Z, save a copy of that bios.

Then get ati/amd flash 2.87.

Open a command prompt.

Follow these directions.

Create new folder on desktop, save your working copy of bios in that folder, put atiflash in there

Don't use the USB method, i provided a link for the exact command you need.

Locate command prompt in start menu, right click it open as administrator.

Make sure your bios name is in 8.3 format.

Use the command in the link provided.

Just replace bios name with the bios name of your file.

 

[zo0lykas]

nothing, tomorrow ill do it again and record video now is time to sleep

btw what you mean make sure my bios format name is 8.3 ?

Do you have extensions showing in windows?

 

[zo0lykas]

Yes forget mention, I downloaded and last version, and year old atiflash no changes.
Tried in command prob with admin
Tried all commands copy to *. bat fail but when i run it it says flashing bios.... Press any key to continue, when i press any key windows disappear, strange cuz in *. Bat fail last lane I enter command "pause" so Command window should be open until I close it.

Do you have extensions showing in windows?

No don't think so

 

[MrGenius]

8 characters for the name + 3 characters for the extension.

Examples:

BIOSNAME.ROM
12345678.123

But that's only a DOS limitation. And you can't use the latest versions of ATIFlash in DOS(or flash a Vega card in DOS with an older version). So it doesn't matter. What DOES MATTER is not having ANY spaces in the file name. If you're trying to use "Vega 10.rom" that's not going to work because it has a space in it, and you will get the 0FL01 error trying to use it. Change it to "Vega10.rom" or whatever, as long as it has NO SPACES!

Yup because a space is like a character even.

I am just going by what happened in the link.

DOS style doesnt work but cmd does.

Welcome @Midiamp Midiampperhaps you can private message the OP to help him recover his card.

I can only track down bios files. Nothing more.

 

[zo0lykas]

good morning folks

when i tried flash dos or windows mode, new bios version name was biosn.rom so no gaps no space

in russian forum i found atiflash -unlockroom 0 tried dos version its not recognise, in windows atiflash no different

looks like i screw it and i need stay with secondary gpu bios until i get new gpu LOL

 

[A.Stables]

I have flashed my Vega64 a few times bricked it once with a bad water bios. If you have time to spare post here and i'll see what i can do (btw are you deaf or Russian just the way you type/talk) ?
