[Problem] Flashing a mod Gigabyte X570 AORUS BIOS

I have gigabyte x570 aorus elite wifi running on the X570AORUSELITEWIFI.F40 bios.

Within Bios, I have enabled 4G decoding, Resizable BAR Support set to auto**,** CSM support to disable.

I have a Nvidia Geforce RTX 2060 Super GPU and I am trying to enable “Resizable Bar”.

I am following the guide:

GitHub - xCuri0/ReBarUEFI: Resizable BAR for (almost) any UEFI system

GitHub - terminatorul/NvStrapsReBar: Resizable BAR for Turring GTX 1600 / RTX 2000 GPUs

I keep getting the error message “bios update failed” when flashing bios.

Let me know what, I am doing wrong?

What your doing wrong is the assumption that a MOD bios file is accepted and will pass on AMI/Gigabyte security measures against modified files/firmware…

If the Q-Flash embedded bios utility fails, you’ll have to use Q-Flash Plus button function with file on USB disk (Most likely method…), if still fails, an SPI programmer.

I do advise you to have a spare USB disk with an UNmodified official bios file for any recover nedded…

Do not recall seeing modern Gigabyte bios releases, that let us modify/hex edit bios code signature, like was previously possible on older mb hw models.

You may wait for other users PoV, good luck.

Can, I use Q-Flash Plus button function with all hardware plugged into motherboard i.e GPU, CPU, etc

Yes, you can, NOT powering the system, this is an offline operation, if never done it before research it.

@MeatWar Q-Flash plus on mobo worked. Thank you! <3

GPUZ shows Resizable Bar Enabled.

Nvidia control panel does not show resizable bar enabled or disabled?

What I missing?

What your missing, is on the topics you posted, related to xCuri and terminatorul work, this is nothing to do with your issue on flashing a mod bios file, so the answers are there.

I have a Nvidia Gefore RTX 2060

Should I be following the ReBarUEFI guide or NvStrapsReBar guide?

For some unknown reason, resizable bar is disabled in GPUZ

Again…???
Sir, the developer of the mod/tool does not have any support thread dedicated to his work here on the forum, do please post on his GitHub page, issues section.

@windowstweaking try to re-start the work with the stock latest bios or any bios version you use, insert the NvStrapsRebar dxe (v0.3 or v0.4-rc1) into the very last section of dxe driver in the volume, and then Q-Flash plus the bios as per what @MeatWar said, go to bios and set your settings and make sure resizable bar is enabled in bios, and then use NvStrapsRebar exe of the respective dxe version (for example, if you use v0.3 nvstraps rebar, use the exe for v0.3.), run the exe as admin, press E, and press S, then reboot.

Got it to work again. I found success with NvStrapsRebar dxe v0.3 and exe for v0.3.

What rebar settings should I use in the Nvidia Profile Inspector? Are the setting I have now outlined in screenshot below good for my GPU?

Yeah that settings for the screenshot is ok.

For size limit, since it is written in hex, you could just convert GiB to Bytes, and put the Bytes value and convert it from Decimal to Hex. For example, i have a 3060Ti with 8GiB vram, so 8 Gibibytes = 8589934592 Bytes, and put in 8589934592 as decimal, and you’ll get 200000000 as a result, and to put it on rBar size limit, it should be 0x0000000200000000.
