SAPPHIRE PULSE RX580 Bricked - Any help here would be great... VBIOS dual BIOS Help

[iKonTech]

So long story but this card i got for free i started messing with it on a HiveOS rig when i got it and we get Radeon RX580 UNKOWN Memory (when chips are on) one bios and other we get Radeon RX 460/470 i cant get the Linux or Windows Flasher to work so i said what ever i have a programmer i removed both chips then booted with card i get Radeon RX 460/470 on both switch positions even with the chips removed must be something in the GPU or another chip some where with some sort of programming or identification in it.

Here is some pics of what Hive is seeing as of now with no bios chips plus the 2 locations of the bios chips i removed from board:

I know i got the right chips as auto detects pick this up with no help

Here is a read of a chip

Or maybe hiveos is seeing something and just labeling it that way before removing both BIOS chips also to take note there where no fan speeds or temps.

Any ways i been fiddling around and maybe its just not like a motherboard or something because i flash one chip solder back to board and nothing much changes or im using the wrong bios but i match the memory type as far as the other parameters i have no idea so any help here would be good.

I would just like what you guys think is a working bios file ill flash to both chips solder back to board and see whats up...

I guess question is also do both Bios have to be programmed and on board at same time for everything to register i have ran in to dual nands in the past that where in like a RAID 0 lets say both required to work... I don't think this is the case as from reading each chip there different but alike.

If any one needs more pics or info let me know!
Here is all the labels i can find on card!

Thanks in advance!

Hello
Here you have a BIOS that matches your ID, subID and memory chips:
Sapphire Pulse RX580 8gb with Samsung K4G80325FC

Sapphire RX 580 VBIOS

8 GB GDDR5, 1366 MHz GPU, 2000 MHz Memory

Ok ill load it to both chips and see what happens thanks going finish reballing this RTX and ill get back at ya after i do that and update you guys!

 

[Imperator]

Good luck.
Keep us informed.

 

[iKonTech]

Hey one question how do you know what the device ID and sub are i mean these chips have been flashed with 800 diffrent bios so nothing on the SkyPRO data window means any thing to be educated did you do that with the UPC and numbers on the board or what is the deal there?

 

[eidairaman1]

The SKU tells us clock speeds, the E387 tells us the SSID of the card, which is a part of finding correct bios along with memory used. When a card is bricked the heatsink has to be removed, if it's working correctly the advanced tab-memory context menu in gpu-z tells us the details, ex FB, FS, AJR, MJR, etc.

1002 67DF 1DA2 E387.

Beat in mind there are 67EF parts as well

 

[iKonTech]

Right on thanks for the education i just programmed both chip firing it up see what happens!

 

[Imperator]

we wait for a feedback

 

[iKonTech]

So we got the correct info loaded for sure on both chips i switched to each but this is all i get it dose state right card right manufacture and has the ID so i know it was wrote right but there memory not looking good

Radeon RX 580 · Sapphire
Unknown Memory 0-0 · 113-1E3870U-O4Q

This is whats read out on the HiveOS line
Do i need to switch to something else to dig depper?

Or is it possible we just have a hardware issue?

Thanks

 

[Imperator]

Well.
I do not know how to diagnose a card under HiveOS, altho i use it also.
But i can guide you under Windows.
So, all we need is to put that card in a system that have a primary card (could be a discrete or a PCIex Card)
Your card should be set as secondary and boot windows using the video output from 1st card.
Let windows finish loading drivers and go to device manager and make a picture there.
Also start GPU-z and choose the 2nd card for info ( the one you just wrote BIOS in it)
Make also a picture and post it here

Aight let me rig something up! back at ya in a few!

Ok so i did all that at first i had an error:

So removed rebooted then had another Microsoft Basic Driver:

Installed Drivers now im here:

Something strange about memory!

There goes no juice into the memory so either it is faulty memory driver or memory controller. Hardware issue, sorry - repair service since it is worth of resurrecting since most likely the gpu die (not from a word dead, from a word cube) loox like it's ok

Yeah you have the wrong bios is why (Autodetect)

The same BIOS you put i linked earlier in a post.
Possible hardware fault.

 

[eidairaman1]

This bios will work as well despite it being 1002 67DF 1DA2 E353, they swap fine.

Here are others make sure 1366/2000, Samsung FC is contained in details.

Hello
Because it has FC type of Samsung chips, there was only 1 file in database that match those criteria.
That one you linked also.
Let him test that one and the one with E353 that you put earlier

Yup I found those others and i know 387 and 353 swap fine.

I think when the chip is a lower sp unit such as a 570 or 2048 580 they don't. (1002 6FDF 1DA2 E353 or 1002 67EF 1DA2 E353)

 

[Imperator]

Yep, you're perfectly right.
We need him to test those to get a feedback

 

[iKonTech]

Ok guys ill try em out and get back at ya!

Ok so seeing how i got this windows box going i thought i would not need to unsolder chips anymore but i cant for the life of me get it to flash here is what i got.. Any help would be good thanks! tried -f -fa -fp no dice should i just go back to the hardware method hehe?

I read the little readme file but from what i can find in that and google i should be able to use the -f and just go?? Could mode the bios file but i dont see why..
Thanks

No mate.
Please read the following post that was made especially for flashing BIOS under DOS box in CMD.

[iKonTech]

Huh ill try it in windows says file cant run in DOS ill go into windows 10 and try from CMD back at ya in a bit

 

[Imperator]

Wait
ONLY CMD with admin privileges

 

[iKonTech]

Ya so i booted into windows instead of FreeDOS and ran the command at elevated command prompt but still basically same thing

Im actually very well versed in Command line i started with Novell Networking 25 years ago so i know im typing everything but no luck still same error!

 

[Imperator]

Well, nice...to be honest we have many mates that do not know to open a CMD. I am not laughing about them.
Not all of us are astronauts.
So sorry if i made you feel in that way...

" i started with Novell Networking 25 years ago "
good old days ....
