Title: Bricked my MSI Armor RX 480 8gb? Please help!
Post by: bigjee on December 18, 2017, 01:24:49 AM
Hey guys.
I tried to BIOS flash my RX480 using the ubermix 3.1 strap on the 1700 and 2000 field in ATIwin flash and the program said cannot find rom and crashed.

Please help me restore this card to its original bios.

Currently on Window 10 and have used the pixel patcher already and it say "already patched".

Any help would be appreciated.

Flip the bios switch. Look for it on the side of your card. Tiny little switch.

What is your exact problem with your card ?

ATIwin flash and the program said cannot find rom and crashed.

if atiflash can not find the rom , i think its mean you never flashed you card ...

When I launch atiwinflash with the rx 480 connected it says cannot find rom.
In device manager it says Code 43. Then I run the patch and it says restart which I do.
After that I relaunch ati win flash I get the same error.
Device manager is showing yellow flag also on the card which means that claymore isnt picking it up either.

I was able to flash 4 cards today successfully except for this one.

Here is the original and modded rom:
