Newest UEFI doesn't save profiles

HD64G · May 17, 2022

After I updated to the latest UEFI of MSI B550 Tomahawk (AGESA 1.2.0.6c) and whereas the default one (AGESA 1.2.0.0) was working perfectly, the new one doesn't store any profile after the first one I made even if it initialy seems to do so. But when I reboot it is gone. Very weird behaviour in my book. Anyone confronted and solved that?

Two things come to mind.....

Possibly dying CMOS battery.
Possible corrupted BIOS update.

In the end, if both fo the above check out to be fine, get in touch with MSI, they are at least able to help beyond the easy stuff, and it could be a real issue that they are unaware of.

Since the board is new and the 1st profile is saved but only the one after that has problem doing so, I have to ignore the battery case. Corrupted BIOS is one possibility although PC is working perfectly well. I will try to contact MSI and check if they know about that weird thing happening.

UPDATE: The profiles in places 1,3,5 are saved whereas the ones in places 2,4,6 are not. Sent report to MSI and updated it with that weirdness and I am waiting for their suggestions. Will clear cmos in between.

Patiently waiting for the outcome.

Good Luck!

Small problem. I updated my two MSI 470Xs and now I lost all control of VDIMM settings, just to mention my number one grief with that BIOS. No possiblity to upload an old version. I guess that‘s your problem as well. MSI……

Sorry to crash your post, just saying that MSI seem to be really busy sending out unfinished BIOS’s.

Thanks, did so already. And clear CMOS didn't help at all.

All you can do is roll back if thats even possible

Not possible for my x470….

Since the PC works very well, this behaviour isn't so important to lose more time. If not able to get solution from MSI, I hope their next UEFI version that is to arrive in a month or so will not have this problem.

HD64G · May 21, 2022

After 2 emails from MSI with 2 possible solutions, I tested them but didn't solve it, so I will wait a few weeks until the next UEFI version comes out and flash that hoping it solves that nuance.

Profile saving is nothing to do with AGESA version. Looks like a MSI bios bug or battery issue.

Maybe. But they cannot replicate the issue nor provide a solution till now.

Agreed! And they reply back in a day at most with something for me to answer them. At least they seem to be trying and find out what cause this.

HD64G · May 28, 2022

UPDATE: After I flashed the UEFI with the latest version that came out earlier this week, the problem persists. At least it doesn't cause problems to the PC at all, it justs limits the usable profiles to 3 instead of 6.

Continue reporting the problem, the squeaky wheel gets the grease.

I had to do such in 2016 and it was 6 months that the problem was finally fixed, but i kept on reporting it every month. So don't give up.

Msi and GA have become abominations in QA.

HD64G · May 28, 2022

Thanks for the advice @eidairaman1 . Will report to them again hoping they will manage to fix it.

I can confirm what the OP stated, happened to me the other day on 1.2.0.5 (B450 tomahawk max). I had 3 saved profiles as I was tweaking and testing system for stability. The 3rd one was in use, first one couldn't even boot with both RAM sticks. I did some room cleaning, unplugged it from the socket, turned it on and got slapped in the face with annoying loop of failed boot at RAM error light on MB. Took me some time to figure i need to remove one stick to even get to the BIOS. The 2nd and 3rd ones were deleted. Not to mention i had that 3rd profile all tweaked, RAM timings, fan curves and everything... The reason I even did the BIOS update from the default one (can't remember the number), which worked perfectly, is the AMD SAM support, and I had no luck with any revision since with RAM latency, overall system stability and BIOS input lag (updated couple of times, and it seems it got worse). MSI fault all the way, and OFC mine, because i was naive enough to not save my precious profile on a thumb drive.

Even if you save a profile to usb stick it won't work with different bios versions, also as to the issue of profiles not saving it could be a hw issue since it persists between dif versions of bios and after troubleshooting.
