How to use:

Download the tool from the link:
Forum UEFI Shell Flash tool [V1.19]

or use special version for Blind Flashing:
(It's useful when need to flash BIOS without display [but the PC can still boot and works fine] and performs auto flashing)
For Blind Flashing only: Forum UEFI Shell Flash tool [V1.19]

Short instructions for for Blind Flashing:
[prepare the USB key for flashing,[see details below how to prepare it] then shutdown the PC,
and disconnect temporary any other storages except that USB key that will be used for flashing]
Then turn on PC and wait auto flashing to start and finish automatically.
[when blind flashing is complete the PC will auto shutdown,
then you can remove the USB key and reconnect the rest of your storages and turn it on]


General instructions for USB key preparation within Windows for both versions:
and extract all contents over the USB key, [FAT32 formatted]
copy/extract the folder structure As Is to the USB key.
Do not omit the folders and sub-folders.
I.e: USB key root structure should looks:

then also add/copy/extract desire MSI UEFI BIOS that you want flash,
on USB key main/root (\) folder.
for example I want to flash a E7A34AMS.M90 BIOS,
and copied the BIOS file on USB key main/root folder/directory:

Next reboot computer,
and ensure in BIOS Setup:
UEFI Boot is allowed,
and Secure Boot disabled.


Then boot from USB key,
in UEFI Mode,
You can press F11 during BIOS post/logo screen, then when BBS popup after a while,
choose the prepared USB key with UEFI in front as name.
i.e: choose to boot from:
UEFI USB your drive

then wait, and you will see the BIOS version shown that is going to be flashed.
and you can press a key to proceed with flashing.
If you don't want to proceed with flashing,
you can press "q" to abort at that point.

when flashing starts,
wait patiently to finish,
ensure successfully message on the screen then reboot or power off the computer.

Note1: Be sure to place only one BIOS file on the USB key at the time, before proceed with flashing.
Note2: Due BIOS flashing nature, (which consider every flashing as potential dangerous)
Flash and use at own risk as usual.
Note3: You can use it to downgrade the BIOS too.

Hallo, i'm need an older version of this tool. Like Version V 1.09 that support X370 Boards. Because i would something to try with older Agesas . Where can i find it ?

 

[Svet]

This one has the same properties for X370 like older version,
but BIOS types changes with further BIOS updates and roll back from GSE to normal one was causing a bricks for those boards with regardless of version used.

From which BIOS version to which one you want to flash?

sorry my english isn't the best what does this exactly means . GSE to normal one was causing a brick for those boards with regardless of version . does it mean you can damage the board if you flash with this newer util or what does it mean?


x370 gameing pro

from actualy one to 7A33?? or so don't know the exactly bios name now. to patch it to agesa 1003ab . I make this for an longer time with that tool, but i can find only the bios not the tool . In old version you can read in the description . Not support for x470 or newer or so .

 

[Svet]

ahh ok the version is the same as the old. also should run ?

if older version worked for you, the newest one also will works.

with newest GSE BIOSes, switching back to older one was causing a brick with older flasher. [i expect the same to be for newest too]

 

[wringwood78]

Don't think you can flash to a bios that works for new version yet retains older BIOS UI, I've tried this tool for and wouldn't post (b450 tomahawk) but managed to flashback and get working. I'm a sucker for punishment though so I might try the pre lite E7C02AMS.170 version. Pray for me

 

[joachim.bittne14e402cc]

if older version worked for you, the newest one also will works.

Ok thanks . If in the old version the flash works. It works in the new version of flasher too. Ahh ok so do you mean this. ? Then the usage of x370 doesn't work it this usage should be valid for old version of flasher tooo . ok thanks. because the usage in past was it doesn't work on x470 but on x370 or so . okk thanks for answer

Hi.. I have a B450M pro vdh board with Ryzen 7 2700x cpu. I tried to upgrade to the latest bios using m-flash utility from the previous bios. I had the latest bios file in a bootable usb which had win10 setup in it. I had no idea that the usb drive should be empty and fat32 formatted. The flashing process went fine but after the reboot my system does not start. Only the cpu led is constantly on and cpu whirls so fast. Some people suggest that the upgraded bios does not support my ryzen 2700x anymore.. I want to downgrade to the previous bios I had before.. just to confirm, will this utility work on my b450m pro vdh?

Thank you in advance..
