BIOS Flashing doesnt work
Hey,
I want to flash the BIOS of my 3060Ti.
The Chip that is on my card is a ISSI 25WP080.
Basically, this chip has nearly the same read / write instructions like a Winbond W25Q80(EWSNIG).
But the thing is, I cant write or rather said programm anything, because it always says the file
has the wrong Filesize.
Basically its a normal BIOS from techpowerup, soo it should work to flash.
What am I doing wrong? Using the latest firmware and software.
I would really appreciate any kind of help!
Best Regards

Hello,
Currently it only accepts a file that's the same size as the flash part. Could you pad the bios file using a hex editor to match the flash size? The flash size is 1MB = 1 048 576 bytes and your file reads as 999 424 bytes.
Otherwise I can add a function to the software soon which can pad the file for you.

Hey, thanks for your response. Sadly im not that deep into that stuff, so I dont know if I do it right,
when I pad it to the correct size.
If you can add this function, this would be awesome! And makes the Elmor EVC even better.
If you need someone to test, I can do that. Would be no problem.

For now, can you send a link to the bios file? I'll adjust it for you.
Hello, please try this version. It should give you a popup when you get the error with the option to attempt to adjust the size to fit.

All right, thank you very much Elmor!
I will try it as soon as I can.
Just decided myself, not to flash the original BIOS Chip.
Bought instead similar Chips, which I will use for testings.
Hello. I am having a similar issue with this on a MEG Creation X399 board. Running version - EVC2 1.0.1.8_t2. It has a WINBOND 25Q125FWSQ-1752 CHIP on the board. Have it connected to the 11-pin SPI connector. It appears to be working normally. Here are the processes, confirmations, and errors.

Really looking for a hand here. Boar dis bricked at this point. I did go into Hxd and padded the file to a UInt24 of 16777215. It would not allow me to pad to ..216. EVC2 did ask if it could change the file to fit and I said yes - still - no good news. Any suggestions? The BIOS file on disk is (16384 / 16,777,216).
Thank you for link of new version.
