When your BIOS refuses to FLASH this is the number one reason that it fails if the BIOS file is correct and in the right format.
Sometimes the USB stick will be converted to GPT rather than the more compatible MBR format.
So how can we switch the GPT back to MBR?
Pretty easy with some CMD prompt commands.
Use the DISKPART command
and the CLEAN option
and also the CONVERT MBR commands to restore your drive quickly as easily

When I watch one of your videos... I learn something new and useful that I didn't know.before Thanks for the how to Mike and Lady Kath. Take care, cheers
thanks rick! see you same time tomorrow
MAAAAAN, YOU JUST SAVED MY LIFE! SIMPLE AND AWESOME EXPLANATION, THANK YOU!
Glad it helped!
Great video. Recently i watched one of your older videos on updating BIOS on a GIGABYTE mobo without anything on it just the 24pin and cpu 8pin.
So i follwed your guide and i updated the BIOS on my GIGABYTE X670E AORUS MASTER before i put in a Ryzen 7950X3D on it. And the updating of the BIOS using the Qflash Plus button on the back of the mobo went perfectly. I just inserted the USB drive with the latest BIOS file renamed to GIGABYTE.bin and then i with only the 24pin and one cpu 8pin i pressed the Qflash Plus button on the mobo's back side and the my PSU immediately turned on and the LED started to flash fast and after a little time it was flashing slow. So i left the system alone for a while to do it's thing and if i remember i think it switched off after it was done updating the BIOS. So it was phenomenal to witness it in person without anything on the mobo just the 24pin and a 8pin power cables connected. It's pretty wild in my mind. Lol 😆
Glad it helped
This video helped me today. I got my x570 proart bios updated after watching this and following the step-by-step instructions for my usb flash drive. I was getting the solid green led light on BIOS Flashback. Well done on the title of this video and the contents inside!
Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts on it
@@mikesunboxing smashed the sub btn!
? Know anything about the Asus x570 proart creator mobo and the slow tb4 write speeds? I’ve been scraping the web all day and can’t get a solve. I’ve changed the policy on the tb4 external nvme drive to “better performance” and enabled “write caching”. Write speeds went up to 900~MB/s from 450~MB/s, but the read speeds are around 3000MB/s. same drive on M1 Max mbp gets fast tb4 read/write speeds around the 2800~MB/s. Confused on why my tb4 write speed is limited to 10Gbs range on the amd 5900x & Asus x570 Proart Creator wifi mobo.
The nvme in the Acasis tbu 405 enclosure is a 1TB Samsung 970 EVO plus
Wanted to use it a fast cache drive for AE and C4D.
My internal m.2 slots are maxed out already for a boot drive and a file storage drive.
Oh my god! Mike, you just saved me some money and throwing away a perfectly good motherboard! I nearly purchased a B450 TUF Gaming as a replacement for a recently bought MSI B550 VDH Wifi. I always get a VGA led from that one. I've always thought it was a BIOS problem so I followed your instructions in another video to use the flashback feature, but yet somehow since unable to get this thing to post. I also slightly damaged the board so RMA sadly isn't an option anymore. I then resigned there likely was a problem with the PCIE so I just told myself last night "Ugh, whatever. I'll just get a cheaper B450"
So this is the actual problem. All this time I thought BIOS flashback was working because it seemed to be blinking normally and stops after 4-ish minutes. Who knew it was the drive's format that's the culprit. Delighted now to see it went straight to BIOS when all's said and done.
awesome glad it helped
Loves me a BIOS flash (aaaaaaahhhhhh), great PSA video Mike, greatly appreciated.
cheers bob

mike, having a lot of trouble with my new build, NZXT N7 B550 with a ryzen 5800x3d that would POST initially but foolishly hit the CMOS button thinking it would solve my GPU image problem.
seems like i get through the flashback process, since my BIOS Flashback Switch LED blinks continuously along with my MBR, FAT32 flash drive until the LED becomes solid. ive waited more than 30 minutes and it stays solid. do you have any idea whats going on?

Mike can you do a video where you purposefully brick a motherboard by interrupting the flash process and then use BIOS Flashback to rescue the bricked board back to life? I also want to see if the board will open and show the CrashFree error prompt for you to insert a USB stick to correct the issue or if you will just have a dead board. I have the ASUS Prime B650M A-II CSM and it has BIOS Flashback, I'm just terrified if the process doesn't work if I can flashback a version earlier or try the process again indefinitely without being afraid of having to RMA. Thanks!
Already did that a few times, with msi boards even did it in a live stream to show the whole process
I just watched it but you didnt interrupt the process or brick the board@@mikesunboxing
@@JuraIbis is this the video you watched? ruclips.net/video/ll_6hvkq0iU/видео.html it starts about 35:00
I had a strange issue with my asus b550 gaming f, fat32 was not working, changed to ntfs and it worked???
that is very cool and somewhat unusual
I’ve gone thru all my wiring and GPU and RAM to make sure it’s all good. I have converted it MBG, renamed it to MSI.ROM (I’m using a 5800x3d on mpg x570 carbon wifi***) to flash the BIOS. I have it in correct port for flashing….. And it still instantly stops….. It’s definitely CPU related issue. Either CPU or Mobo faulty or I’m not flashing it correctly somehow…… would faulty cpu or mobo cause issues to flash?

Even that not work, i cant atualize my b650m tuf gaming plus by Bios flashback!
Just on the old metod... in Ez in the Bios...
After watching this video i feel a bit silly.
I am well aware that the masterboot record is the standard for reading an USB from within the BIOS but i never thought of this while having these flash problems.
As a result i trashed 2 different motherboards for that reason which were probably easy to repair ....
I used xmp and pc wouldn't start flashed bios to newest version it booted up with cpu light I removed cmos battery now nothing boots up trued different bios version still nothing I troubleshooted my hardware to is there anything that can help me?

I have the same problem with the TUF GAMING B550M-PLUS, unfortunately, the trick not working with the mobo, the motherboard light flashes 7 times and stays solid green, I have already used a few different USB, formatted in fat32, converted to the MBR, no luck. Any help will be appreciated. Cheers Tom

UPDATE: The BIOS in Gigabyte motherboards does not allow updating from all pendrives, even if they are formatted correctly in FAT32 filesystem. Some media are recognized in the BIOS as Floppy, not as HDD - the symptom is that when using the QFLASH button, the LED on the media flashes, but no update takes place - the LED on the motherboard does not work. In this case, just use a different medium.

Hello, thanks for sharing. I have a problem: I updated my motherboard B450 to a Asus B550-Plus Wifi II and set everything (CPU, GPU, etc, etc) and when I tried to start with the new mobo It did not start up the CPU and no fans spinning, just the RGB from the mobo and a red light indicating power over the GPU.
I tried to update the BIOS with Flasback but in the first try didn't work because I prepared the USB Flashback with a Mac and coudn't run the scrypt to change correctly the name of the file from the BIOS. So, I went out and bought a new USB and this time on a PC, came back to try for a second chance (I interrupted the first attempt by holding 5 sec the power button) and this second time is still flashing... 40 min by now... any suggestions? It won't stop blinking in different rythms.

Thank you Sir, you saved me 😂😂
Whats funny, I had a correct penvdrive which was showing correctly but still my pen drive wasn't flashing. I followed those steps and it helped anyway.
glad to help. all working now?
Thanks❤🎉🎉🎉
thanks for watching
i never knew should be mbr format usb memory. i was been tried to flash my msi motherboard bios update unsuccessfull before but i didnt know it should be mbr format. It was probably gpt .
I first got a solid LED liked mentionned in the video. After doing this the LED is blinking endlessly. Using a USB2 32gb. Tried multiple times, the LED keeps blinking without stopping. Any idea?
you didn't mention what motherboard you are even using, i'm not a mind reader :-)
@@mikesunboxing My apologies, you're right. I'm using the Tomahawk B650. I've tried so many flash drives, without success unfortunately. I've tried formatting with Rufus and through Cmd Prompt (Fat32/MBR). Bios file renamed under MSI.ROM. I really followed all the steps.

Just built my first pc and am facing this issue. I however dont have access to a computer with windows and a usb port. Any alternative methods?
not really sorry, take it to a repair store or a friends house, library maybe?
@@mikesunboxing I just caved and ordered a cheap laptop with windows. Figure it would advantageous to finally have one in the future
Is it safe to take out the usb when the light is solid?
yes that means it is done or can't read the drive
You saved my ass!
so my mobo led light is flashing, the usb is inserted and then it turns off... i wait for 5 min, turn the pc on and the bios still says that its on the old version help please!

Hey man, my b550m blinking red light forever When i try update bios qflash, i try this and not work for me, can you help me?
sounds like it can't read the file or the USB stick, make sure it is MBR and fat32 and the filenale is right and the file is unzipped
I tried in 2 USB sticks, i’ll get another USB with my brother and try, i already convert then to MBR and fat32, o tried too without name or with name USB
unfortunately, this did not fix my issue. I tried with new (USB 3.0) USBs and the USB 2.0s ...did exactly what was directed here and still didn't work. Made sure I was using the most updated (but not BETA) version of my BIOS, as well. I'm stuck and don't know what to do.
check the drives are MBR not GPT
@mikesunboxing yea, i did that, too. Was making sure I was following your steps to the T. I also checked out your earlier vid which was basically the same just a bit longer, and you went through it step-by-step in the video. What doesn't make sense to me is how a mobo "doesn't like" a USB stick. I've seen countless videos stating this type of phrase. Now, does this mean my mobo is no longer functional or "bricked"? I would assume no, just a very expensive paper weight until I figure this issue out. Thanks for replying, though.

no one answer an important question: can the pendrive be removed while the light isnt blinking and its on, or you must first shut down de psu before doing it?
if the light is out or not blinking it is fine to remove
Just so I'm clear on this as I don't want to mess up my motherboard, if the light is solid, you can remove the usb without shutting down the psu?
I'm asking because I've encountered an error and the light is solid rather than flashing. I want to remove the USB but I am hesitant as I don't know if it will mess up the MB.
Shutdown PSU first, or remove USB first?

How do I Flashback Bios without Flash button? Please badly needed help 😢
you can't sorry
I have an old but reliable 32 mb usb drive that I use exclusively for bios flash.. Can't really see other uses with this size.. 🤔😁
Mine is stuck and it's not gpt. Asus z87, I've tried 2 drives.
does that board even have a bios flashback button?
CRAP JOKE FRIDAY !!!
Josef Friztl is releasing a book.
Will it be a best cellar?
loolz
ouch
This is so annoying to flash because i need to have another computer to try to simply update my mobo. And I got the solid light...
sorry to hear you are having problems
If you are using ASRock motherboard REMOVE the .rom at the end of the file on the USB!!!
It still doesn’t flash
