GOP Update and Extraction Tool (NVIDIA Only)

Binarycraft · May 21, 2023, 10:37am

“Extraction and Normalization Tool” applied to these files:
nv_gop_AD1xx_0x7000C.efirom
nv_gop_AD1xx_0x7000D.efirom
The folder contains the following files:
70ca8.efi
70da8.efi
My “vgabios.rom” contains GOP version 0x70009.
But when you update, you still see only 0x7000B. Where 0x7000C, 0x7000D ?

I do not advise you to manually add efi files to the GOP Update and Extraction Tool (NVIDIA Only). This can lead to sad consequences.

Is there a tool that works with pascal? what method I have to use to update on pascal?

MeatWar · May 24, 2023, 2:49pm

For PASCAL you can use the GOP updater

Chapeau bas You’re great, just timely responded to our needs, Kudos.

Hi all! I need help.

My computer is not loaded after completely de -energizing. After replacing the power supply and the motherboard, the situation has not changed. Perhaps the problem is in my RTX2060S video card. I ask you to help with the modification of the vbios. The dump is made from the latest version of GPU-Z.

Thank you.

any news about this situation I have the same issue for my 3090. Do i need to have specific version for nvflash?

i have test this one but i am having Invalid firmware image detection for my 3090 both with Ampere : 0x60017 and 0x60012

@wudimobile Tool works great for turing after trying on two cards. Just FYI I have found 0x7000D GOP (ADA Lovelace) in a newer vBIOS if interested.

Anyone with ampere that has DUAL bios may want to try this modded nvflash tool to force update the modded bios with updated GOP.

hoffer · February 22, 2024, 11:45am

Hello, guys! What does it mean (MOD) in some versions of GOP? What’s the difference between MOD (the inscription to the right of the version number) and normal (nonMOD, without “MOD” inscription) versions?

MeatWar · February 22, 2024, 1:02pm

What files are referring to?
MOD aka Modified

hoffer · February 22, 2024, 3:06pm

@wudimobile
I do not know which specific file this refers to. For example, for Turing GPUs in recent GOP Nvidia & AMD 2024.zip or GOP Tools_20230326.zip there are GOP versions: 0x5001f (MOD), and ordinary 0x5001f. On the original screenshot by wudimobile in the first message you may see: [2] 0x5001f (MOD).
What is the modification itself that distinguishes (MOD) from original source?

Thank you for your interest in this project.

I tried to use this tool to upgrade a new GOP image (extracted from Asus 82.4 KB file on MEGA) for my Ampere card (RTX3060Ti) for fixing the problem of no signal from the boot and BIOS screen displays when connected using the DP1.4 connector.
It successfully modifies the VBIOS file, but when I apply it to the GPU with nvflashk it fails, it seems that there are other validation mechanisms for the VBIOS file for the Ampere architecture that nvflashk can’t bypass …

@CirnoSalt You can use Nvidia’s NVIDIA_DisplayID_Firmware_Updater_1.1 for the 3000 series to update the GOP to version 60012 if you are on 60010 or earlier.

Sorry, i’m wrong, the other update is for older generation

CirnoSalt · March 7, 2024, 2:05pm

Unfortunately, the original GOP version of my GPU is already “0x60015”, but DisplayPort 1.4 is still malfunctioning in this version, and NVIDIA’s official update tool hasn’t been updated for a long time, so it can’t take effect on it. I’ve contacted both NVIDIA and the GPU OEMs during the past six months, but they only shirk their responsibilities to each other and don’t want to fix the problem …
After searching, I found that only Asus and Zotac noticed the problem and updated their GOP version to “0x60018”, I had to try to extract these VBIOS myself and modify the GOP using this tool, but some kind of signature mechanism introduced by the Ampere architecture seems to make this impossible.
