Hey, thanks for the reply, but unfortunately running it from the USB stick has the same result.

You can try installing this terminal and try with it: https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9n0dx20hk701?hl=en-US&gl=US

Yup thatll do it, lets try something here

Get the latest version of amdvbflash, unzip the folder to C drive but name folder amdvbflash5.0, open the folder and install the driver inside of it

The driver automatically unlocks the gpu eeprom.

Then on 11 desktop click start, type in cmd, right click it and open with admin rights. Then while in cmd navigate into the C:\amdvbflash5.0 folder.

Once inside of there type dir and hit enter and screenshot it please

Ok minimize the cmd prompt and open the arguments.txt file in the amdvbflash folder please

Have you ran the AMDVBFLashdriver installer?

  -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:

                                 operations
  --show                         This flag instructs the tool to show
                                 information. What information is to be shown
                                 is specified by the other switches.
                                 Usage:
                                     --show --device
                                         : Show device inforamtion

                                         : Show advanced device inforamtion

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.
  --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

  --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.

Restart your system and get back into amdvbflash for cmd prompt

Vegapunk · Dec 29, 2024

Okay, so now it worked with the version 2.93:

I do first get this as before, but after I click OK, I get the result of the command:

Can I now proceed with the flash procedure as from the guide?

Yes try 2.93

Vegapunk · Dec 30, 2024

I now went through the flashing procedure, as much as I can tell it went well.

However, the motherboard BIOS still remains invisible.

But since we deduced that in the other GPU BIOS switch position the motherboard BIOS shows up normally, I really wouldn't want to trouble you with this any further.

You already went above and beyond with the help and advice.

eidairaman1 · Dec 30, 2024

You can try it with other files i provided

You might consider switching vid ports on the gpu

Vegapunk · Dec 30, 2024

It's working!

I can see the MB BIOS in this switch position as well now.

The BIOS I installed is:

Sapphire RX 580 VBIOS

4 GB GDDR5, 1411 MHz GPU, 2000 MHz Memory

Ok good, make sure you remove that amdvbflash driver by running the installer again, its a hard bypass tool which could allow a security exploit to occur.

Vegapunk · Dec 30, 2024

Removed amdvbflash driver.

I really want to thank you a lot for your help!

You are as the quote in your signature says, a paragon of patience and expertise.

I try but you just gave an invariable workaround for 2.93, it needs to be tagged and I need to update my guide for the change

Hello, I have the same problem with not being able to see my bios, no image until i get into windows, I would really appreciate if you could help me.

newly built pc,

CPU:5600x
motherboard: b450m vdh pro max
gpu: rx 580 8gb gigabyte. bought used from someone that was selling a lot of them saying they were used in office/gaming but i'm guessing they were used for mining

i've tried looking for a vbios myself, but i couldn't find one with micron memory.
i also noticed the clock speed is only 1150 mhz and power draw is about 80w when the gpu is 100 percent in use if it's any relevant at all.

just in case, i also have a cpu with integrated graphics if the new vbios doesn't boot so i can swap it with the vbios it came with.

Last i recall there were other menu options under the Advanced tab of gpu-z there should be 1 that mentions the word bios?

Kind of looking for a pcb part number sequence as inspite of the card showing rev 1.1 sometimes info to specify if a card is rev 1.0 or 1.1 is not given by the end user on a bios upload.

Also i see you have a 450 chipset motherboard, so i presume it's on the latest stable bios?

velvo · Saturday at 10:14 AM

i took the motherboard to a pc shop and they updated the bios for me since at the time i didn't have a cpu that i could update the bios with. i'm not sure if it's a stable version.
bios version: e7a38ams.bn2
build date: 8/30/2024
here is a picture with the bios when i had the icpu in:

E7A38AMS.BN2 is a beta bios. The last digit should be a zero for MSI Motherboards to be a stable bios. Since AM4 is EOL, this is the latest (beta) bios.

Part number "GV-RX580GAMING-8GD-MI" on your card is a mining card.

These bioses belong to GV-RX580GAMING-8GD and have Micron memory support:

Hey man the sub system ids are different, also the og bios code has F90 in it.

These 2 are closer in that sequence of what he has above.

Both are still mining bioses, isn't it beter to flash a regulair RX 580 Gaming bios instead ?

The 1 I gave is gaming, which is 1340/2000, ga cards tend to be picky with the bios loaded
