Same bug as reporter before with F7a Xtreme version that was solved in final F7 BIOS.

This BUG is back again in F8a....

Re: Aorus Master Corrupt Main BIOS Reflash?

Whilst attempting a BIOS flash on my Aorus Master, from F10a to F10b using @BIOS, I got a Win10 GSOD ! Yes I know, flashing a BIOS from Windows is risky, however, I have never had any issue with this method before. Now my primary BIOS is corrupt and will not boot... lesson learnt.

So my issue now is that I cannot see how to re-flash my primary BIOS, when booted from the backup BIOS.

The documented method of flashing from backup, using QFLASH, with the mobo BIOS switch set to primary does not seem to work. It flashes the backup BIOS instead, which is now also on F10a instead of F7... this is extremely dodgy! Is there a trick to get this primary flash working correctly, or an alternative method for achieving the same goal?

Or is my primary BIOS now permanently stuffed?

You can remove the master BIOS though, and attach it to the clip, or buy a preflashed BIOS from Ebay.

Make sure you put it back in the motherboard aligned the CORRECT way or you'll destroy the BIOS chip. Make sure you take a picture on your phone how it's set in the socket.

Read my posts there though, it never worked until I used the 1.4 version of the BIOS programmer.

I recovered a corrupt BIOS more than once with this method.

Curious: what happens if you create a USB boot disk as per Kedarwolf's instructions on the Gigabyte Z390 overclock.net thread, with Rufus, put EFIflash on there (Grab it from one of his modded bioses, any one), put the bios you want to flash on there, power off, set the bios to "single bios mode", boot to the drive by setting that drive as the primary boot device (not UEFI, but the non UEFI drive), and then, in command prompt, then switch the other bios switch to the "backup bios" position?

Can you then reflash the corrupt bios with EFIflash bios.rom (whatever it's called) /X ?
Make sure you rename the bios to the standard MS DOS format of 8+3 letter extension. So something like f10b.f10 will work

Re: GIGABYTE Latest Beta BIOS

From when I update bios F9b, now I can't update any bios version.


It always show: Oemld Mismatch


How can I fix it?

Re: Aorus Master Corrupt Main BIOS Reflash?

You can flash a corrupted Master backup bios with a $5 clip and some free software. And a second PC to flash it from.

Edit: And NEVER reboot a failed boot by holding the power button you can corrupt one or both BIOS's that way. Always power off from a failed boot by turning off the power switch ON THE POWER SUPPLY.

I comment here because I can't comment on overclock.net

I do with guide on

When it boots into DOS, I type:

efiflash 1.F9 /x

It show: "!!OEMID Mismatch!!"
When it boots into DOS, I type:

efiflash 1.F9

It show "Invalid BIOS Image"

Now How I can fix it?

Try efiflash 1.f9 /x /NoOemID or efiflash 1.f9 /x \NoOemID or \NOOEMID (i dont know if it is case sensitive).
