Fail to flash a new bios

mebone · 12-12-2004, 02:06 PM

I have try using "flashrom" with -f command....however I received error: data not erased

Is it the problem my card's bios is locked?

What should I do?

mebone · 12-12-2004, 04:59 PM

Supplement:

The detailed error should be:

"blocked protect not disabled, status= 0E"

p.s. I try flashing my 9800se to 9800pro....

INSTG8R · 12-12-2004, 09:31 PM

not sure what input line your using but should be: -f -p "Biosfilename" (not in Quotes)

mebone · 12-13-2004, 11:48 AM

Dear INSTG8R,

Thanks for your reply!

I have try entering the following command:

atiflash -f -p 0 biosname.bin or
flashrom -f -p 0 biosname.bin

however, atiflash gives error: data not erased
flashrom gives error: blocked protect not disabled, status=0E

Really, don't know what is wrong.....appreciated your help

Thanks in advance!

elixxx · 12-21-2004, 09:43 PM

seems like this problem are more upcomming on the newer 9800SE cards :S does no one know how to bypass?

Yes your bios is locked but you can get around that by using gigabyte's flash tool.

This forum has more info. As well as info about the hardmod for the extra pipes (if you need it).

The gigabyte flash tool can be found here with gigabyte's 9800 pro bios.
Once you've put that bios on it will no longer be locked and you will be able to use any flash tool with any bios. Another (safer and easier) way is to flash the bios you want on using the gigabyte flash tool which comes with that bios, which i think works too.

elixxx · 12-21-2004, 11:48 PM

dude thats awsome i will try it out on my palit 9800se tomorrow ( if all 8 pipes works)

sweeper · 12-22-2004, 12:04 AM

I get the same "blocked protect not disabled, status= 0E" error while trying to flash my gigabyte 9550 bios. I have even used the Gigabyte flash utility. Nothing unlocks or gets by the bios lock.

elixxx · 12-22-2004, 02:24 AM

hmm hope it works for the 9800se then :S

Fistandantilis · 12-23-2004, 04:22 AM

have you tried winflash, it is supermega easy

GoLLuM4444 · 12-23-2004, 07:42 PM

or the modified flashrom might work.

Guason · 03-21-2005, 01:56 PM

I had the same problem ....... :
Solution :
Use flashrom 2.17 WHITHOUT -SST PARAMETER :

flasrom.exe -p 0 biosname.bin -f

Whit version 2.40 show an error ..... whit version 2.17 works fine

mebone · 04-04-2005, 03:44 PM

still could not get the work done....

error: data not erased

ojaneka · 04-04-2005, 07:05 PM

I guess it's only on some Gigabyte cards because I can force flash my Gigabyte 9550 easily with flashrom??

Although no other BIOS's work properly, I can flash it to anything. (Kinda gets scrambly or slloooowww...

)

kenling · 04-06-2005, 07:27 AM

i have a yuan 9200se that i'm trying to flash with higher clocks but i've tried everything here and everything else i googled without success. can't beat the "data not erased " problem.

W1zzard · 04-06-2005, 08:31 AM

try the brand new atiflash 3.07 linked at the bottom of the bios collection page

vg · 04-06-2005, 12:35 PM

Try flashrom.exe with -sst switch.
For example: "flashrom.exe -f -p 0 yourbios.bin -sst"

Good luck.

kenling · 04-07-2005, 06:50 PM

just tried atiflash 3.07
-p -f 0 switch: ERROR 0FL01 ROM not erased
-p -sst 0 switch: ERROR 0FL01 ROM not erased
-v 0 switch: ERROR 0FL02
my kung fu is not strong.

vg · 04-08-2005, 07:41 AM

kenling, try to use latest flashrom.exe http://www.radeon2.ru/bios/util/flashrom240.zip.
type exact command: "flashrom.exe -f -p 0 <yourbios.bin> -sst", where <yourbios.bin> is your bios file name.

mebone · 04-09-2005, 06:47 AM
