Hello. PD firmware 0105 for X870E GODLIKE seems to have fixed device disconnect for my samsung s23 ultra phone when it is low battery (<40%). it charges about 28 watts and doesnt drop out. I was on firmware 0102 and 0104 with no success in fix, 0105 seems fixed.

unfortunately after updating the firmware on my X870E Edge Ti Wifi, the port no longer works... is that something you also have experienced or am i missing something? The board is 2 days old

I have the same issue as above after updating using MSI Center on my X870E TOMAHAWK WIFI. Is there any way to roll back to the previous version, or a working one?

Hi @Svet, @Alan J T
Is there a way to recover if this fails? I need the update for my X870E Tomahawk, but I'm concerned after the above failures by 2 users

I am also a bit worry after two messages above here and a thread there -https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?threads/x870e-godlike-top-left-usb-port-failure-after-pd-fw-update-0105.412618/

This is just nuts. Why not take the firmware update down, and post a notice saying there is an issue while MSI fixes it? Not sure how it is okay to have so many people nuke USB ports.

Not sure if can be recovered. But some kind of recovery attempt can be tried with internal msi tools eventually.

They can't duplicate such issues.

Just happened to see this thread, but it seems like a simple bios reflash to the current bios as of today, 8/30/25 (reflash, Shut down immediately on flash end, hold Clear CMOS button for 10 seconds, reboot) should restore the earlier version of the PD FW which doesn't work well but which also doesn't cause any problems. The earlier version of the PD FW file is in the latest bios, apparently, and there is a reason MSI still hasn't included the newer version in the latest bios update--for me, that is 7E51v1A67, released Aug 6, for my x870 Tomahawk. I have no need for front-port USB charging, so I'll stick with the installed 102 version.
