How to use ASUS ROG USB BIOS Flashback

[DaemonCantor]

Thank you...Thank You!!!!

[NanoTechSoldier]

Is this process possible on an Asus Crosshair V Formula ?

Yeah,

Is It As Simple As.. Switching The MB ROG Switch To On With USB Flash Drive In The ROG Connect USB Port...??
There Is No ROG Button On The C5F MB...

Can You Still Flash The Crosshair V Formula BIOS For AMD FX-8150, With Power Off..??

I Can't Even Enter BIOS Page [No Vid Signal]... DIMM Q LED Flashing When Go Button Pressed...

Cheers Guys..

I am in the same situation with the C5F motherboard with the fx 8150. I have tried flashing this way but with holding in the other buttons on the MB to no avail.

Fishbeast it only flashes back or reverts to an older BIOS. Will not flash a new BIOS this way.

If I have misunderstood your post please correct me so I can try and help you.

How to use the ASUS Republic of Gamers USB BIOS flash back

The minimum hardware requirements for USB BIOS flash back is to have a Motherboard with ATX Power Supply on and plugged into the wall. You do not need to have a CPU, RAM, Graphics Card, or Hard Drive connected to the system.
The system does not need to be turned on or pass POST (Power On Self Test)

1. Acquire a USB Thumb Drive
2. Format the USB drive with a FAT32 file system
3. Download the latest BIOS for your motherboard and place the extracted ROM file on the USB drive
4. Be sure to rename your file according to the motherboard model. If you have an Rampage III extreme, rename the file to R3E. If you have a Maximus IV Extreme rename the file to R4E.
5. Place the USB drive into the ROG Connect USB Port
Attachment 1860

5. Hold the Rog connect button down for 5 seconds and an amber light near the BIOS chips will flash for several seconds and when flashing has stopped the BIOS has been successfully updated..

So part of the problem with this information is what exaclty is the file name for each board? It seems like alot of 8150 buyers need to update the crosshair V to make the 8150 work. So I think we would need the file names that the bios flash utility is looking for before a flash would work.

I have already returned one crosshair V and getting another tuesday! I hope its flashed already as the one I bought from amazon must not have been so I ordered from Newegg.

Hi there, this is my first post, i have the same problem as some of you.

Looking arround everywhere this was the closest solution, but after trying several options, nothing...

Is there a way to update the bios like the Mobos that have the ROG Connect Button? but whit the Crosshair V Formula Switch?
And if that, what is the name of the ROM file, CH5, C5F, CHV, etc??


My system is:
Crisshair V Formula
AMD FX 8150
32 Gbs Corsair Dominator (4x8)
EVGA 560Ti SC
