ROM not erased. Error 0FL01

[PRGamerDad]

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to flash my Powercolor RX 5700 Red Devil to a Powercolor RX 5700 XT. Running Command Prompt as admin i have managed to unlock the ROM but i still can't flash the XT version on my 5700. Keeps giving me the error above. the RSA signature verify is PASS. Even tried to amdvbflash.exe -f -p 0 5700xt.rom in command still to no avail. How can I bypass this ROM issue?

Please HELP!!!

Please HELP!!!

First of all stop.

Follow my directions.

Get GPU-Z, take a screenshot, then click the arrow next to the uefi checkbox and attempt to upload the bios to the VGA Bios Collection through the program itself, you may get prompted that the bios is already in the database with a link, copy and paste link here. If you don't get that prompt proceed to upload and then get the link after wards.

Take a picture of white sticker label on the back of card and post here

I will guide you the best I can, ive helped others flash challenger d, pulse, dual ultra to xt variants. I need information to help you though.

Give me time to research this card.

 

[PRGamerDad]

I tried the bios below for the flash first said the sub ID's didn't matched so then I looked up was around that and i found this video. Didn't do any powertables just the amd flash from techpowerup here.

Powercolor RX 5700 XT VBIOS

8 GB GDDR6, 1400 MHz GPU, 1750 MHz Memory

www.techpowerup.com

Just to show the steps I took and am still operating fine just no bios upgrade. Said I unlocked my ROM. But won't take the new XT bios upgrade

 

[eidairaman1]

If im not mistaken that card has a dual bios switch.

PowerColor Red Devil Radeon™ RX 5700 8GB GDDR6 - PowerColor

www.powercolor.com

It appears from the bios you gave me the switch is in the silent bios position. (180W)

Find that switch on your card and close GPU-Z, flip the switch, reopen gpu-z and do the same thing to get the bios link for the performance side.

 

[PRGamerDad]

I have it switched to the oc mode when I installed it. Should I switch it to the silent mode?

edit: yes it does have a bios switch just to confirm.

 

[eidairaman1]

I have it switched to the oc mode when I installed it. Should I switch it to the silent mode?

Wait, are you telling me the bios you gave is from the performance/OC side?

Start this over, get the gpu-z link from the other bios switch position please.

Better yet get both sides and label them please

We will continue this when I am fresh, I would suggest you rest up as well, so that the mind is sharp. It is almost 11PM here.

I will try my best to help you see this through but have patience please.

Lets rest up till tomorrow. Do not abandon these forums.

 

[PRGamerDad]

Yes the switch was set to the OC side when I sent those last bios from gpu-z.

I'll send the bios from the silent mode later and sounds good.

Its 80% wisdom 10% knowledge and skill and 100% prayer in the power of His will

Yes the switch was set to the OC side when I sent those last bios from gpu-z.

Fresh minds function better, less frustration over looking at a command prompt too.

 

[PRGamerDad]

They are identical either way I have the switch set. Side by side comparison I didn't see any difference. for some reason the other two turned into a .rom file. I used this file to compare to the what gpu-z said for my silent mode. I'm pretty sure the main function of that switch is the cooling capabilities. Silent keeps the fans from ramping up and getting loud were the OC mode doesn't care how loud the fans get as long as the gpu gets required cooling. Even still required a custom fan curve set with MSI afterburner to make sure its not getting too hot (and so the fans actually kicked before the preset temp the card is set to. I'm also using a Asrock x470 taichi motherboard if that is of any use to you.

Please get the link for that other bios I need to verify some additional information

I need to cross verify both bios on your card @PRGamerDad

 

[PRGamerDad]

I have them attached as follows; oc bios first and the silent bios second

Okay I need the link to both the silent and OC bios files, not the images this time.

There is info the files show in the links that the images do not.

 

[PRGamerDad]

My apologize I misunderstood you. Will be doing this in two separate replies. this first link is it in the OC mode

Ok good, once that is done we can proceed

 

[PRGamerDad]

Here is the silent side of the bios

As i thought there is a difference between the 2, its the TDP your quiet bios is 160W and your oc bios is 180W.

Use gpu-z and save your bios files using the arrow to your desktop, make sure to label your quiet bios and your oc bios.

For recovery purposes.

I will look at files now.

@PRGamerDad

Follow these directions,

Remove all GPU Drivers using Display Driver Uninstaller before flashing. (Follow directions)

Use this tool

https://www.wagnardsoft.com/DDU/download/DDU%20v18.0.2.2.exe

Download this tool for flashing

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

Flash 1 side at a time and verify the card is powering monitor properly after restart.

Follow these directions closely

Use this bios for the performance Side only

Powercolor RX 5700 XT VBIOS

8 GB GDDR6, 1400 MHz GPU, 1750 MHz Memory

www.techpowerup.com

Use this bios for the Quiet Side only

Powercolor RX 5700 XT VBIOS

Since the Subsystem ID will be changing slightly you will need to do a force flash in an administrator privileged command prompt. (Find cmd in start menu right click and open as administrator)

If that is not performed you may receive the stupid 0FL error.

Then follow this command

Enter this command first

Amdvbflash.exe -unlockrom 0

Then enter this command

amdvbflash -f -p 0 XXXX .rom

Note: XXXX is the name of the VBIOS file you downloaded. You can also change the downloaded file name to a simple name.


This is alternate way:

Create a new text file in your ATIFlash directory, name it FLASH.bat, and place this code into it:

@Echo off
cls

echo Flashing card 0 with BIOS.rom...
echo.
amdvbflash -p 0 -f BIOS.rom
echo.

pause
Assuming the new BIOS you want to flash onto your card is named BIOS.rom, this is the BIOS it will use for flashing.

Save your changes, then run the batch file by double-clicking on it.

Once you've received a success message, reboot your computer for the new BIOS to come into effect. If you can boot into Windows successfully, then that's good! (Note: your screen may flicker for a bit, because you basically have a new card, and Windows is trying to recognize it. If you want to be thorough, go ahead and do a clean re-install of your graphics drivers.)

Last resort methods to flash back, possibly flash forward.

If you need to flashback to a 5700
Use this method (might work for flashing to XT as well)

Reflashing to original 5700 non XT bios fails with "ROM not erased ERROR/ F0L01"

Not true! For example, on Powercolor, protection is on both BIOS. None of the BIOS can be flashed again! This is not true. I have a powercolor red devil 5700 and I have been able to flash multiple bios to the silent side. OC seems to be the flash once. What particular powercolor model are you...

There is a tool powercolor uses but I am blind to how it works, you just extract the tool from the 5600xt file. And use with a 5700/xt bios to flash or flash back i believe. (Delete the 5600xt bios immediately)

I don't think option 1 worked. this is what i got in return of flashing my bios

Did you have the switch in the silent bios position?

Also install the gpu driver and see.

Wait i gave you 2 bios files to use, why are you linking a different file?

I said use this file for Quiet bios side only.

Powercolor RX 5700 XT VBIOS

8 GB GDDR6, 1400 MHz GPU, 1750 MHz Memory

www.techpowerup.com

And use this one for performance/OC side.

Powercolor RX 5700 XT VBIOS

8 GB GDDR6, 1400 MHz GPU, 1750 MHz Memory

www.techpowerup.com

Why did you use a totally different file than What I specified? The 2 i specified are from the verified list and closely match your current 5700 bios...

5700s are very peculiar in what bios is flashed to them

 

[PRGamerDad]

Sorry for the confusion, I went back to my 5700 bios just to make sure I wasn't going to mess anything up. Going through the steps again. What I sent you is what I had uploaded. I think I need to do as you had just suggested and reinstall drivers. Yes it was in silent mode and it had worked to what I sent you. I'm going to follow these steps again only installing the drivers again and see if that is the ticket. Everything is still running fine. It wouldn't except the oc 5700 xt bios. Gave me the same rom not erased deal.

Even with all specific commands? Did you open the command prompt with administrator rights?

Oh and GPU-Z shows

Device Id:	1002 731F
Subsystem Id:	148C 2398

Which is a 5700XT red devil in GPU-Z

 

[PRGamerDad]

I had used yours. I believe I know what I need to do. Followed your steps with your bios link. Got back to that point now that you pointed out the sub Id changed. And Silent Mode Bios updated and its registered as a 5700 xt now. Thank You. Switching over to OC to see if it is regestered if not then I will follow your steps again.

Gpu-z on the silent mode.

Silent mode flashed, good

 

[PRGamerDad]

Ok so when I went to switch to the OC mode I had a black screen. I looked up the code b2 that my mother board gave me saying "there was an error with initializing the gpu's firmware." I switched back to silent and started just fine. So OC mode isn't excepting the new update?
