I can't flash original Bios (Sapphire pulse rx 5600xt)

[diegonsio]

Hello, I have the following problem, I bought a second-hand Sapphire Pulse RX 5600XT (mined) but the stock bios it has is from an RX 5600XT BE, I opened a Sapphire support ticket with the serial number of the card and they shared me the Original bios files, when I try to flash the original bios with amdvbflash, it always gives me the error "ssid mismatch error 0fl01" (which makes sense since it has the id of a rx 5600xt be) when trying commands to force flashing I get the same error, I have tried with version 2.93, 3.04 and 3.31.
I don't know what else to do, the card works but I would like to have it with the corresponding bios
(Sorry my English, I'm Chilean haha)

Wrong syntax used for amdvbflash 3.31

You need to get pictures of the White SKU& P/N sticker located on the side of the heatsink near the pcie blade first. Then get a GPU-Z screenshot please

I also used the correct syntax (shown in the tutorial on the forum) with the same results

Erm no you didn't, 3.31 does not use -f -p

There should be another white sticker on that card, look for it

That's the wrong sticker. It has the Letters SKU and P/N on it

 

[diegonsio]

I know, I tried -fa -fp, same error (ignore that image)
The card only has that sticker, Sapphire asked me for it and they sent me the files

Get amdvbflash 3.31 from here

AMDVBFlash / ATI ATIFlash 5.0.567 Download

AMD AMDVBFlash is used to flash the graphics card BIOS. The version released by ATI was called ATIFlash or just WinFlash. It supports all AMD Radeo

www.techpowerup.com

Then follow this:

Extract amdvbflash 3.31 to its own directory and then move the folder to C:/

Open the directory/folder, double click AMDVBFlashDriverInstaller.exe and allow it to install
YOU MUST INSTALL THIS FOR AMDVBFLASH TO WORK, YOU CAN UNINSTALL IT USING THE EXACT SAME .EXE

Download your bios file and rename it to sp56x.rom

Move your BIOS ROM INTO THE AMDVBFLASH Directory you created to make things simpler to find

open your start menu and type in CMD, right click on it and open it as administrator, YOU MUST DO IT THIS WAY, NO EXCEPTIONS

at CMD, type in this
CD \ which takes you to the C:\
then this is an example CD C:\AMDVBFLASH\AMDVBFLASH3.31
you are now in the folder where AMDVBFLASH.EXE is in

type in this C:\AMDVBFLASH\AMDVBFLASH3.31\amdvbflash -i
that will identify the GPU with the number 0 (ZERO), 1 etc should be the only one gpu.

then type in amdvbflash -unlockrom 0

then type in amdvbflash -p -fa -fp 0 sp56x.rom (replace 0 with 1 or 2 depending on if other cards are installed in peg 16x 1) (there is 1 space between -p -fa -fp 0 sp56x.rom)
(-fs command is optional and may not work in all versions)

press enter, let it complete, follow prompt on the cmd line, once all complete exit CMD and restart

You cannot use Amdvbflashwin to do these cards

Ok, I'll try it and let you know how it goes
I also changed the switch to the silent bios, and this does correspond to the file that Sapphire shared with me

Ok I just provided correct syntax for you,

 

[diegonsio]

I followed the steps and I get the same error

 

[eidairaman1]

.x4q is not the correct file extension, let me get you a file

Saphire RX 5600 XT VBIOS

6 GB GDDR6, 1465 MHz GPU, 1750 MHz Memory

www.techpowerup.com

I was thinking the same, search by file name (426EFSAM.X4Q) and it is in .rom format at: https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/228429/228429

These are the files that Sapphire sent me: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1lkgUxRWmKjy6RVedYRcQqXSbI4lbNsTF/view

Disregard what sapphire sent you and use the file I provided

 

[diegonsio]

The file that you share with me is the bios that it currently has (of an rx5600xt be)

 

[eidairaman1]

Its not labeled as a BE

 

[diegonsio]

That image is currently flashed, when I click Lookup on gpu-z it sends me to the rx 5600xt be page, when I switch to silent bios the card ID changes

 

[eidairaman1]

Ask sapphire on how to flash the file they peovided...

 

[diegonsio]

Ok...
