OFFICIAL Bios ver. 2004 will not allow bios flashback THREAD

[mr_allroy]

Hi all,

It looks like at least a couple of us have an issue flashing back to earlier bios with ver. 2004. Both with the UEFI method and the usb flash back will not work (3 usb drives and none worked). The bios setting to allow this is enabled. I have a Z690 Hero.

If you have this issue please reply to this thread so we can keep all the info in one thread. It will help if you list your MB model as well.

Thanks
( I should also note that the voltage issues found in ver 1720 appear to be fixed in 2004.)

UPDATE - It seems that real time ram timings can't be changed using Memtweakit or any other tool. Was working on 1601. Can anyone else confirm this?

Hi,
I have the same problem with Bios 2004 on ASUS ROG MAXIMUS Z690 EXTREME - No method will allow me to go back to any earlier Bios.

EZ Flash 3 give error "File is not a proper BIOS" with any Bios except 2004. Flashback just stops with any Bios except 2004.

I need to go back to Bios 1101, as this is the only Bios, on ASUS ROG MAXIMUS Z690 EXTREME, that lets a single GPU run at X16 in the top PCIE slot - Now will only run at X8.

Regards

Asus needs to aknowledge if this is a bug or a feature.

It has to be a bug cause it eleminates Bios flashback.

Iam rock stable at 1505 with 6600mhz DDR5 not updating.

It's clear at this point that the team that is developing the bioses either has had a change in who's running it or replaced by new people and these issues are getting through. Now if this is intended then SAY it so all it would take would be 1 line on the bios update page" Due to updates regarding security issues rolling back to prior bios revisions is not possible." Done end of it all, apparently I had to dig out this information... It would take you all of 15 seconds to write this on the update page and save tons of hassle headaches confusion.

The mods all saw this thread, and, as usual when answers are needed, radio silence.

Guys, just answer the question!! How infuriating.

I don't think this can be a service. because if the system becomes unstable, how will he be able to fix it? let's say asus heron PCH 61 degrees celsius is now quite good compared to 67 -70 degrees celsius

Just looking to help with this if I can...

Those of you having problems with performing a BIOS flahsback. Can you confirm the exact steps you've followed?

For example, can you confirm you've used the BIOSRenamer tool to correctly prepare the old bios you want to flash back to before putting it on your USB drive?
