First of all dont use amdvbflashWIN!!!

Use amdvbflash 2.93 when flashing a RX 5700 XT: https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/attachments/atiflash293plus-zip.354205/

Follow these steps carefully:

1. Open your "C:" drive in Windows, create a new folder, call it atiflash.

2. Extract the contents of atiflash_293.zip to the "C:\atiflash" folder

3. Find the bios file you downloaded and rename the bios file to 5 digits with .rom on end Example RX 580, change file to rx580.rom (r****.rom)

4. Move r****.rom to the "C:\atiflash" folder

5. Open the start menu, type cmd, when cmd.exe appears right click it and hit "Run as administrator"

6. At the command prompt type in cd\ and press enter until only C:\> is on the screen.

7. Type in cd/atiflash and press enter, you should see C:\atiflash>

8. Type in amdvbflash.exe -i to identify the gpu you want to flash with a 0, 1, or 2)

9. At the C:\atiflash> prompt type in
amdvbflash.exe -unlockrom 0
(there is a space between the e and -unlockrom and 0)(0 is the number zero)
press enter and you will be prompted that the "ROM Unlocked" (or 1, 2)

10. At the C:\atiflash> prompt type in
amdvbflash.exe -f -p 0 r****.rom
(there is a space between the .exe and -f, and a space between -f and -p and 0).
(Or 1, 2)

Press Enter

Follow directions on screen and if flash is successful exit the command prompt and restart, windows should show up on screen.

sorry for the late update info, so while waiting i read other forums about this similar kind of problem and i tried all the solution. apparently i found this info that powercolor rx5700xt OC bios is locked and because of that i can't flash my bios.
so i switch back the switch button to the silent bios mode then flash the bios again using the same method as before ( using amdvbflashwin ) and it works perfectly fine. But the bios that i use to flash on to my vga is the OC version one (i'll attach the link ) , is it gonna be okay for the future or should i just install the normal silent bios?

*sry for my bad english

I think I wasn't clear enough :banghead: DONT USE AMDVBFLASHWIN!

Use amdvbflash 2.93 with command line and share the output with us. Guide is attached in my previous message.

Please do what is asked of you. Do not use the GUI version of ati/amdflash, it is antiquated, only use amdvbflash.exe in a Windows Command Prompt with Admin rights.
