Hi! Has anyone successfully used nvflash to read vbios with shared EEPROM?

Sorry for the bump, but this is pretty much the only discussion where I can come to a conclussion about the lack of discreet GPU EEPROM (Supported EEPROM not found) problem.
Hopefully, this will make sense to other people who feel like they're doing something wrong, or digging deeper for solutions. As far as I can tell, if nvflash cannot find EEPROM you cannot extract or backup the vBIOS. Without a confirmed, working rom, flashing is instinctively a game over one way or the other... (would forcing a rom not overwrite all your other devices stored in the EEPROM?)


My attempt below. I was trying to make overclock values permanent, and access voltage gain. Dead end for me. Suggestions are welcome :).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tried 5.499.0, but no deal on my system. Latest version nvflash doesn't work either and I don't suppose many will be interested in getting support for a 2010 chipset (https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-gt-325m.c1504). Suprprisingly you can still get life out of it using MSI Afterburner (albeit voltage controls blocked).

Tried reading vbios from registry...

Related thread, presumably same author: https://forums.laptopvideo2go.com/t...books-vbios-that-is-not-supported-by-nvflash/

...but only partially successful. The exported vbios is scrambled or corrupted (infinite FF values at end of file, "footer" or closing quotation does not export). Can read the rom in NiBiTor, but most values come up empty and its clear to me it did not read properly.

Hello Mr W1zzard! So nice of you to take an interest.

1. No change, sorry for not being clear about version numbers. Actually, my first attempt ever was nvflash v5.560. Output from v5.560 makes is harder to understand the state of the EEPROM, posting log below. After using v5.110 and 5.439 the error codes started making a bit of sense :).

2. Since yesterday I tried to run nvflash at POST/boot, still failing to --check, --display or --save the vbios rom. v5.13 i believe.
I was hoping to give v4.42 a try (source: https://www.mvktech.net/nvidia-geforce-bios-backup-guide/) but can't get my hands on anything older than v5.13

Question: Can you confirm I got the syntax in line 9 correct, to attempt override EEPROM support checks?
Not exactly proficient with nvflash, to my current knowledge override does not ignore the error codes, at least reads still get aborted 100%.

Other potential problems: NiBiTor would consistently error out because of usigned driver, running Windows 7 Pro x64. Disabled BitDefender and signature requirement via Emergency Boot Options/bcdedit to make it work. So far I found this has no effect on nvflash. NiBiTor can now read devices, but integrity is in the red, and values do not match my GPU defaults. Cannot recommend that as a rom starting point.
Worth mention: GPU-Z 2.22.0 also unable to read vBIOS, sensor readings working correctly.
