AMD and Nvidia GOP update (No requests, DIY)

I tried all those test files and none of them showed up in Device Manager :confused:
Can that last file i uploaded be merged into my bios?

Hello,

I want to say: thank you @lordkag for this post.
It worked perfectly on the 560 Ti.

A friend of mine upgraded his motherboard, got a F processor (without intel graphics) meaning his good old 560Ti (twin frozr 2) didn’t boot anymore.

Here is what I did:

  • I installed his card in the secondary PCI-E slot of my own computer
  • I dumped the vBIOS using GPU-Z.
  • I patched the vBIOS using gopupd.
  • I flashed the vBIOS using nvflash.

Please note that:

  • The 560Ti is a GF114 so I had to use the nv_gop_GF10x rom. It worked perfectly!

  • My own computer is running Windows 10 (22H2) and in order to patch the vBIOS onto the 560 Ti, I has to use nvflash 5.165 specifically, other versions did not work.

Versions that did not work: 5.814 did not detect the card, 5.100 failed, 5.287 with cert bypass failed, 5.412 failed.
The only version that worked is 5.165.

Hi. I’m just about to add a UEFI support to my Gainward GTX 570 and the recent replies are just somewhat about my problem.
It is a GF110 so I chose the GF10x option, but I get this:

There are other ROM images in this binary! Please report it!

EFI is NOT last image!

Fixing ID, last-image-bit and checksum for EFI image.

Fixing last-image-bit in PCIR and NPDE for EFI image.

File “GF110_updGOP.rom” with updated GOP 0x1002D was written!

I’m not quite sure if the new rom is valid (partly because the new .rom has gone from 81kb to 140kb) cause I don’t want to kill the GPU. Help would be appreciated :slight_smile:

Edit: I see now that someone else with GTX 570 in this forum was stuck on the same problem, but I didn’t see any progress he made (at least he didn’t mention it here). Is it not possible?

As you can see in this thread very…very few FERMI bios can be updated successfully with a GOP, the issue here is not the new size because its correct on size increase, we are adding extra data to the main bios, the main issue is if the vbios IC has enough space to flash the new vbios.
Boldy users with some skills can try to get a bigger IC and replace it on the card and even so its not guarantee to work, its all tests…

All this, are risky moves to any user, and only some one that had done this on the same card model can assure you of any successful information, its a user choice only.
If you dont know how to recover and no past experience, do not procede because remotely no one can assure you of anything.
Good luck.

EDIT: Not aware of such compressed version… it would by now be know.
To really get sure of what size the IC is, a visual isnpecction and IC ID is the best.
Usually the size of the dump give us a clue…but not the same as IC ID

Is there a smaller UEFI GOP module to insert or a compressed version? To try to fit it in. How can I know what my BIOS chip size without the hassle of opening it?

I am fully aware. Not afraid of killing the GPU, I have CHA341 on hand and I have some skills. Just trying to spare me some time.

The Gainward GTX 570 (Not GS or GLH model) has the BIOS chip Pm25LD010 (Full name on the chip is Pm25LD010 CE1142 HNHT1HG). Sadnly couldn’t confirm which size is it (512Kbit / 1Mbit / 2Mbit, I would have enough space for the new BIOS only if it is the 2Mbit as I understand).

Edit (from previous post, just to make sure… sorry): Also as I understand from you the errors I got from the GOP-Updater are normal and not to be afraid of as the injection was done successfully.

Yeah but this doesn’t mean you wont get a broken card just like the attempt of this user with a EVGA GTX570…

Already told you that it is unlikely of any success on these older cards…

Ah ha. Did not notice that at first glance on the internet and I was in a bit of a rush so I closed up the card. Anyhow it is not enough space for the newly auto generated VBIOS, as it ended up 140KB.
Is there a reason that soldering a Pm25LD020 chip instead wouldn’t boot (even with stock bios)?

It’s not that big of a deal as I understand. In case the card dies I can just reflash the stock bios through DOS with the right nVidia flashing tools, and if that doesn’t work I will use CHA341. Or am I missing something here?

Thanks a lot for helping. Appreciate your time answering :slight_smile:

It could… but rarely on these old gpu cards generations.

@CannedNoodles
Use the updated links (Today) on the OP
AMD GOP driver 1.70 or MGOP 1.69
Do not flash the backup bios of the card.

Thank you

I bought a RX 580 2048 8GB from aliexpress, it was from soyo and had single fan and fan speed was fixed, it was not working with secure boot ON. So i updated the GOP using this guide and it worked. Thanks.

[the forum is not letting me attach the vbios files] so :frowning:221.7 KB file on MEGA)

i have modified vbios and evn thought it says i have gop it dosent boot with csm disabled in bios only the default bios works but i need the modded vbios

Modded vbios need csm enabled.
The only way to use uefi boot (without secure boot) is to use magic uefi gop 1.69
You can search it in the forum.

edit : i forgot to mention but i am gettin
The vga card is not supported by uefi driver error whn i try to boot with csm disabled

Your vbios has already 1.70. The only magic gop is only 1.69 version.
The tool can’t downgrade. You need an unmodified vbios that has lower gop version for example 1.68 and then update it with 1.69 magic gop.

okay i did that got the stock bios and applied my vbios mod to it and updated gop using magic gop 1.69 however this error message is there

Do you want to update GOP to 1.69.0.15.50? Y for yes or N for no: y
