Pure version from AMD, without any extra modding-related unlockings.
Earlier Feb 4 2022 build, so Navi3x not supported

Tested to work fine up to RX6650 cards:

Here is newer version 5.0.638 built on July 2023. I have no Navi3x to test, but I suppose It should be compatible.

Compared to 4.x version it display much more info with -ai:
Code:
sudo ./amdvbflash5.0.638 -ai

The GCN flashing support is removed, however the header parsing info for rom files saved by earlier versions can be seen via
--bios-file-info option, even for ancient GPUs:

                                        : Same as above i.e., specifies to work
                                all ASICs detected
                                        
  -a [ --advanced ]             When this flag is specified, it tells the tool 
                                to work in advanced mode. The work will depend 
                                on the tool. This has to be used along-with -i 
                                option
                                Usage:

Command line switches for the flash capability:
  -s [ --save ] arg             This flag instructs the tool to save the VBIOS 
                                image. This has to be used along-with the 
                                --device switch and the --vbios-info. If 
                                --vbios-file is not specified then the file 
                                name is constructed at run time with the 
                                following format [ASIC]_[BDF]_[Index].rom
  -p [ --flash ] arg            Write VBIOS image in file <file> to flash ROM 
                                in ASIC <Num>.
                                Usage:
                                    -p <Num> <File>, or
                                    --flash --device [Num] --vbios-file <File>
  --vbios-info                  This flag when used along with --show flag 
                                instructs the tool to show the VBIOS 
                                Information from the file specified by using 
                                the --vbios-file option
  --vbios-file arg              Specify the VBIOS file to work with. This 
                                option can be used to save the VBIOS image to 
                                this file as well as to read VBIOS image from 
                                this file
  --bios-file-info arg          Display the BIOS info in the given file
  --savefile-at-end             This flag instructs the tool to save the whole 
                                VBIOS content read from the ROM Controller at 
                                the end of read operation. This should always 
                                be used only with --save flag. If not used, by 
                                default the tool keeps writing ROM contents 
                                read in each iteration to the file.
  --save-flashed-bytes          This flag instructs the tool to save the bytes 
                                being flashed to the SPIROM to a file for 
                                debugging purpose. This will enable the user to
                                additionaly verify what and how many bytes have
                                been written to the SPIROM at the end of flash 
                                operation. This flag should always be used with --flash
                                command only. If not used, by default 
                                the bytes won't be additionally saved to a  file.
  --active                      This flag is used along with -ai command to 
                                show the ACTIVE partition details i.e. 
                                Partition where dGPU is booted from.
                                Usage:
                                    -ai [Num] --active, or
                                    --advanced --device [Num] --active
  --inactive                    This flag is used along with -ai command to 
                                show the INACTIVE partition details i.e. 
                                Partition which would be targeted to be 
                                flashed.
                                Usage:
                                    -ai [Num] --inactive, or
                                    --advanced --device [Num] --inactive
  --fa                          This flag enables force flashing the same IFWI 
                                version. Should be used with the --flash 
                                switch.
                                Usage:
                                    -p <Num> <File> -fa, or
                                    --flash --device [Num] --vbios-file <File> --fa
  --fp                          This flag instructs the tool to bypass BIOS 
                                part number check and perform a force flash. 
                                This flag should always be used with --flash 
                                command only.
                                Usage:
                                    -p <Num> <File> -fp, or
                                    --flash --device [Num] --vbios-file <File>  --fp

  --fv                          This flag enables downgrading the IFWI by 
                                performing a force flash. This bypasses 
                                checking the VBIOS/IFWI version. This flag 
                                should always be used with --flash command.
                                Usage:
                                    -p <Num> <File> -fv, or
                                    --flash --device [Num] --vbios-file <File> --fv
  --config arg                  This flag allows the config file parameter to 
                                be skipped for comparision if all the config

Here is newer version 5.0.638 built on July 2023. I have no Navi3x to test, but I suppose It should be compatible.
I was able to confirm that this works for Navi3x with my 7900 XTX, found a newer version for my reference model and it flashed perfectly:

Does not work for me :( I have PowerColor Hellhound RX 7900 GRE and if I run it with "-ai" option as root it only outputs version/copyright line and does not show any detected card or even the line that would indicate it is trying to detect something. This is on openSUSE Tumbleweed with Linux kernel 6.11.0.

I found that to use AMD's official tool you have to be using the driver blobs they put out: https://www.amd.com/en/support/down...on-rx-7000-series/amd-radeon-rx-7900-xtx.html

You can also use fwupd and update from the local file if your fwupd is recent enough to have support added for AMD GPUs.

Its quite strange that there is no "Detecting AMD GPU/APU. Please wait..." line.

Here is the output output on the system without any AMD gpus, without any amd drivers loaded and with utility config file /etc/amdtools/config/AMDPlatToolsConfig.xml removed (to ensure 'clean start') and empty but created folder for logs /var/log/amd
Bash:
% sudo mkdir -p /var/log/amd
% sudo ./amdvbflash5.0.638 --debug-log-status=true -ai --accept-EULA

And the utility produce very detailed 5MB log is produced in /var/log/amd/amdvbflash5.0_0.log
By now its only sample for "no-gpu" case. Rerun your utility with --debug-log-status=true and compare/upload the log maybe there would be some useful information.
Maybe I'd be able to collect some log with plugged in GPU later.

Attached is the log I get and yeah there appear to be some errors in it:
Code:
