It simply doesn't work for me :/

It gets stuck here.

 

Did you run the terminal as administrator?.

Hmm never saw this error. Can you run the command with --debug-log-status=true and then post the log file from %APPDATA%\AMD

 

@MaStA819

amdvbflash --flash --device 0 --vbios-file newbios.rom --inactive --fa

With “amdvbflash_879_Moded_v1.exe -p 0 newbios.rom --inactive -fv -fp -fa,” you should be able to flash the inactive partition directly.

 

@MaStA819

amdvbflash --flash --device 0 --vbios-file newbios.rom --inactive --fa

With “amdvbflash_879_Moded_v1.exe -p 0 newbios.rom --inactive -fv -fp -fa,” you should be able to flash the inactive partition directly.

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, it is still not working as seen below. The IFWI information for the inactive partition appears to be corrupt and not allowing me to flash to it. I am currently running on the active partition without issue. However, I would like to fix the second (inactive) partition if possible.

Hmmm 1 Time Flashed Vega20/MI50 it made backup from my VII Pro and from the MI50 it took some time but works and flashed. Second time GPU is not supportet.. *** 😅

 

To end confusion:

 

I have a programmer on the way. Do you know which chip typically correlates to the BIOS switch position?

Thank you again for your assistance.

 

Does this mean we might see bioses with unlocked power tables?

 

No.

 

Let me tell you the story of how I bricked (then fixed) my quiet BIOS (performance still works). So I tried flashing the 9070 XT Mercury Bios (I chose this model because it has 340W TDP instead of my 330W TDP and matches 3dp 1hdmi and 3 8pin) to my Asus TUF 9070 XT by booting into the "Q" bios mode. It gave me an error that it didn't match, so I then used the -fp argument and it went through (flashed successfully and please reboot to complete VBIOS update. I ran amdvbflash -i and photographed the results, and it matched what was there before. I shut it down, and rebooted, and it won't boot. I tried IGPU and it won't boot either. It works on my "P" BIOS mode. Strangely, if I switch the bios switch while windows is running, an amdvbflash -i will give the same results for the first 30 seconds or so, then it crashes the system. At this point I think my only chance to recover that bios is to boot it into working order, flip the switch, and quickly flash the original Q rom BIOS and hope it finished before crashing. I was right, I was able to flash a working bios back on the "Q" bios by attempting to flash my own backup 1 second after switching my physical bios switch, and it game me a conflicting IFWI PartNumber error. so i switched the switch back and ran the same flash but with -fp, and then quickly reboot after the flash happened. Now it will run with either "P" or "Q" bios. I actually ended up flashing an ACER 9070 XT (it also has 340W TDP instead of my 330W TDP and matches 3dp 1hdmi and 3 8pin) bios that had 340W TDP, and I've been breaking my records on 3DMark all day, talk about my definition of having a good time

Edit add: My top Steel Nomad went from 7944 to 8038.

So the Merc BIOS doesn't run on the Asus TUF, but the Acer BIOS does? Do you have any idea what the problem could be?

 

Yes, the Acer BIOS runs, the Mercury BIOS doesn't. I have no idea why one works and the other doesn't , all three cards share 3dp 1hdmi 3 8pin, so I assumed it should be compatible.

 

I want to put the Taichi BIOS on my Gigabyte Gaming OC, is that possible with this? I've downloaded it and read everything here, seems like a user above was able to get one additional bios flash working - thanks for any insight!

 

This is a work-in-progress overview for these bios flashes for the 9070 XT.
Please report your positive and negative experiences just here (or at the other three locations) to fill the right part.

 

Rx9070 xt saphire pure bios on xfx 9070 oc white pc doesnt boot if you already flashed and are stuck turn of pc fully move the switch on gpu turn on pc if u get to windows good move switch while pc on open the tool flash the original bios turn off pc fully turn on pc thats what worked for me

 

XFX SWIFT 9070 OC WHITE WORKS WITH THE XFX SWIFT 9070 XT WHITE BIOS

 

I flashed my 7900xtx Taichi performance bios with unmodified amdvbflash. Rebooted, and it won't boot now. I will get code 97 on my MB which from what I gather is a GPU issue. If I flip the switch to the quiet bios it will boot normally. How can I fix the performance bios if I'm unable to boot with it? Will this modified tool work in my situation or I have a better chance with a ch341a?

 

This tool will not help you in this situation, but you can try boot with the working bios, then right before the flashing flip the switch on the card.
For sure test with amdvbflash -ai --active and amvbflash -ai --inactive that the tool reads the right (corrupted) bios. If yes,try to flash it.

 

I was able to flash my Sapphire Pure 9070 with the Pure 9070xt vbios. It's been working great.

I did have a question though, @Benik3 , you mention flashing the bios again after the first flash to make both partitions the same. Is there a reason for this? I can't seem to figure out if I need to do this or not. This is a single bios card (albeit with a secondary partition containing the original bios I presume)

 

What s the command ? I have the same Sapphire pure 9070 card .

 

Well, on my XFX Swift 9070 XT the flash process itself always works but I just end up with a black screen after a power cycle.
Flashing it back to the original BIOS does work, though, so great work on the tool itself.
I hoped to get the power limit to 330 or 340w so that I can boost it another 10% in the driver but non of the high powered BIOSes work for me.
Maybe someone could make a tool to edit the existing BIOS for better compatibility? That would be awesome!

 

Same here. I'm thinking either it's looking for the 3rd 8-pin which isn't there or XFX has some sort of protection that checks if both of the BIOS-es are the same, idk.

 

After a bit of testing I can confirm that unfortunately, flashing a different BIOS to the XFX 9070 XT Swift results is a no-image scenario. I tried two different Mercury BIOS-es (one from the GPU database and one supplied directly from a friend). The only difference in the cards is the 2x vs 3x8-pin and TDP limit. My limited GPU knowledge tells me that the Mercury BIOS is probably looking for that 3rd 8-pin power. Any ideas? Thanks!

hi this doesn’t work on a 7800 xt
I optimize this message

 

in fact it works, you just had to put amdvbflash moded and the bios flashed in the same folder.

 

Been loving playing with this. Sapphire Pure 9070 went from 269w (+10%) to 348w (+10%) with XT bios, and with some tweaking I have the 3rd highest score in the world on steel nomad for my hardware. Before bios flash my best score was 6650, now new score over 7250.

Hotspot temps seem to be the only difference but are still manageable in the low to mid 80's. Luckily the Pure 9070 has the same cooler as the XT variant.

 

I already shared this in different thread, but I decided to make own thread for it

This is a modded tool for flashing AMD cards (including RDNA4 with version 879) even when SSID mismatch.

Here is screenshot by @RedF on RDNA4:
View attachment 2729868


The 616 version includes also modifications, so it's possible to flash also over corrupted bios in RDNA3 cards. More info in the original post: https://www.overclock.net/posts/29431108/

I will also add some general information about vbios, which I collected meanwhile:

1. Turn OFF the PC - After bios flash, turn off the PC completely, not just reboot.
2. Dual partition vbios - from RDNA3 (I suppose that RDNA4 has also this feature) the bios in the card is dual. And I don't mean HW switch for changing OC/Silent bioses. The bios is dual in one ROM chip. One partition is always active and second inactive. The flash tool always flash the inactive partition and this flashed partition became active after successful boot. This luckily can save your card from bricking, when bios flash fails.
   In amdvbflash you can check both partitions using command
   -ai --active
   -ai --inactive
3. Flash multiple times - After successful flash, I recommend to flash the card using non modified tool and only with PartNumber force switch (so only amdvbflash -p 0 -fp romfile.rom), until the tool says that the bios file is the same as in the card (power cycle between each flash of course). For some reason it can take up to 3 flashes. Don't post bios backups without this, as it can lead to flash fail on other cards!
4. Bios changes when flashing - When you flash bios and read it back, it will not be 1:1. It's normal behavior noticed on RDNA3 (and maybe other too). The bios ROM contains some partitions, which are changed with each flash. Some bytes even looks like simple counter. That's also reason why in tom's HW vbios database you can find so many bioses for RDNA3 which should be identical. Slightly more info here: https://www.overclock.net/posts/29458202/
5. GPU-Z bios info - GPU-Z is reading only the first partition of the vbios and doesn't care about active/inactive state. That's why you can still see the old bios version after a first flash.

Summary:
amdvbflash 5.0.616.0 v2 - up to RDNA3 cross flash and ability to flash over corrupted vbios
amdvbflash 5.0.879.0 v1 - up to RDNA4 cross flash

Warning: Use this tool at your own risk! I bypassed some exceptions in the SW, so in worse case it can lead to even more corrupted vbios! Be sure that you have some backup solution in hand (CH341, second bios switch)! For sure reflash the vbios again using non modified amdvbflash, with PartNumber forcing switch only (amdvbflash -p 0 -fp romfile.rom) until it says that the bioses are the same!

I apologize if this is a dumb question, but you recommended flashing the new bios multiple times until both partitions match, I just wanted to ask you if there is any risk involved with just flashing it once?

I successfully flashed my 9070 Pure with a Pure XT bios, but I didn't reflash afterwards. Have had no problems so far, but if there is any risk involved with having 2 different bios on each partition I will flash again so that they match.

 

in the first post on Benik3 , the reflash must be done with original amdvbflashtool , to have other partition with same 9070 xt bios

 

i really wonder if your modded vbios flasher could be used on polaris, like i have RX 590GME here (which is RX 580 rebadged, both have the same chip since its not a real RX 590), and i cant crossflash using the modded amdvbflash v2.93, i did manually program the vbios using the same model 580 on my 590GME and it works.

 

Managed to brick my XFX 9070 Gaming Pro OC stupidly - mixed up which the bios switch was set to when doing a repeat flash so now neither has the right bios… gives an error in device manager and if it “does” appear with the ‘-I’ command the bios P/N is listed as unknown… ordering the correct size clip for a programmer to try bring it back

 

Sorry to hear that man. I only flashed once and have had no issues, even on cold boots the XT bios remains intact, so I'm not really sure the reason behind the reflash. Hopefully @Benik3 will get back to us and let us know if it's potentially unsafe to run 2 separate bios's on the same chip

 

Can this work for 6000 series?

 

Yes, that should not be an issue. But no one has tested it yet : )

 

I try to flash my powercolor rx 6700 xt hellhound with powercolor rx6750xt with the official unmodified software only the Subsystem Id it's different with no luck
