Forum USB flashing tool!!! ✔

[Svet]

Hi guys,

We the forum team have developed a new way of flashing.
You no longer need a floppy or anything, just an USB-stick.

The tool has been tested together with MSI and as far as we have done our testing, there are no problems at all.
As long as the USB-stick is FAT or FAT32 formatted!

However, flashing is always risky, so if it goes bad it's your own fault, but that goes for all flashing you do.

This tool is intended to flash MSI retail motherboards and laptops,
but if needs you can use any other machine to prepare the necessary stuffs and the USB stick there,
before move the USB stick to the msi product that you want to flash.


The way it works is simple: Download the package and download the BIOS from the MSI website that you want to flash.

The rest is straight forward.

Make sure that your board is set to be able to boot from USB.
So turn on USB Legacy Support in the BIOS.
Boot and press F11 to get the boot-popup and select your USB-device to boot.
(some boards have a different key, like K8N Master uses ESC for the boot-menu)

What ever you do, make sure you read all warnings!

The forum nor MSI is responsible if it fails for you.
Nor is this software supported by MSI technical support!


Please report problems/bugs if you find them.


currently supported OS ( 64 bit):
Windows Vista, Windows 7 (also Windows in Virtualbox under Linux!), Windows 8/8.1, Windows 10
(all kind of versions)



NOTE: If you are having problems getting your USB device to boot correctly, you may need to format it correctly as the geometry data may be incorrect. You can do that by pickup option "Fix My USB key" from the Tool or by using >>> Rufus Tool <<< tool and make it bootable with "FreeDOS"!
For future usage you can skip this step, it need to be done only once if your stick need adjustment.


This topic is for discussion of and help with the USB flash tool only. If you have a problem with your PC and need help then do not hijack this topic, please start your own new topic in the correct area of this forum!

i need to update my old MB MSI B85-G43. It is on version 3A and I need it to v38 (3.8) because I want to use 4790k i7.

3A is the latest, no need to flash to 3.8
The CPU is supported with 3.8 and any above versions.

Hello everyone I have a pretty big problem with a pretty old Msi 970a-g46 set with fx 8320e and rx 260 But it doesn't matter what set it is, but what I did recently I thoughtlessly installed https://www.msi.com/Landing/dragon-center-download/nb in a computer that didn't support it And well.. The computer started to reset over and over and when I turned it off It turns on but hangs somewhere in the bios The monitor screen doesn't turn on and I can't hear any signal I tried to re-upload the bios Hello But I don't really know how to start It's probably something like windows on rufus Could someone help?? I WOULD ASK for the bios and what should I do with what program so that it starts with the system I

Bios uefi 2.8 Windows 11

And I apologize for the correctness of the spelling, but everything was typed by a translator
