Question: would it matter if I updated the bios as soon as I get finished building my pc. What I mean by that is after I build my pc before turning it on could I update it without any problems and then go on with the windows bios setup once it’s done updating?
very in depth tutorial, easy directions for people that have never done something like this.
Glad I can help you out 👍
Thank you, your guide was so much easier to understand than so many others who just assume we know how to do stuff.
I'm glad you found it helpful!
even if this video gets older over time it still shows a great and followable way to update the MB. thanks for the tutorial, it was a lot of help!
You're welcome!
i've come back to this several times to remember the exact process of setting up the usb stick. thank you for being so clear and consise in your demostration
Glad it helped!
This helped me out a bunch when I was upgrade to a 5800X3D. If I ever randomly see you somewhere I'll buy you a beer. Cheers!
Lol! Thanks and glad I could help 🙂👍
I'm also upgrading to a 5800X3D and holding my breath this will fix my POST problems @@NorthernVikingEveryday
Almost a year later watching this, still up to date and helped me update my bios because I had an older version that wasn’t compatable with a ryzen 7 5700x. Thank you!
You're welcome 🤗
I did the same today for the same processor he help me alot
Thxxxxx you saved my bricked motherboard. Never updating bios through bios again, didn’t know about flashback
Awesome 👍 Glad I could help.
thanks dude! i went from a r5 5600 to a r7 5800x and i forgot that i had to flash the bios, i’ve never done that before but now i know! super easy to follow tutorial and very in depth, thanks!
Glad I could help
@Dualzis Bro that update was not worth it 😂
thanks for this info. I had an issue with a Samsung MVME M.2 SSD drive which was no longer recognized. I was dead because my SSD drive also contained the O.S. I tried updating the motherboard BIOS as a last resort and it worked. My SSD drive was recognized again. Thanks so much for the detailed instructions.
this happend to me and im struggling i have to redo it to work?
first tutorial I've watched for using bios flashback thanks it was very hlepful
You're welcome!
Needed this for my PC build in October 2023. Super easy to follow and helpful tutorial! Thank you so much!
You're welcome!
Dont forget to press Y or Z depending on your Key layout, if you didnt use a encryption (like most of people do else get your windows backup key ready). Really great video!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much! This fixed the problem with my 5800x3d upgrade. Truly, and I mean truly, appreciated 🙏
You're most welcome! Glad it helped.
Installed my b550-f today and flashed the bios. This was very helpful, thank you!
You're welcome!
I had no display before this and was worried the gpu( I am reusing an old one) is not working anymore, this video saved the day!
Awesome 👍 Glad I could help.
Thank you for telling how long it takes, usually bios updates are fast and I was worried something was wrong
You're welcome!
Thank you so much I have this exact mobo and I followed all the steps and successfully updated my bios just waiting for my cpu to arrive now thank you so much ❤
Glad I could help
I have the same issue i have this motherboard brand new placed a brand new cpu ryzen 5500 and offcourse new cooler evertthing works but no image ... Now i did something wrong with the flash drive file the light stays solid
legend, thank you so much i was confused for quite some time and now its flashing exactly how it should
Perfect 👍 Glad I could help.
Just got me the B550-F Gaming a few days ago to go with my Ryzen 7 5800X and still need to do the bios update, so thanks to this video I'm 100% sure I won't mess up!
I just hope the bios update will solve the one final issue I'm currently having: My Gen4 Transcend 250h 4tb M.2 ssd not showing up. It does show in my bios, and even showed up as a drive to install my windows on it, but after having windows installed its not showing up in the list for "this PC". My samsung one shows up without any issues, but the transcend, nope.
Best video for Bios flashback!
Glad you think so!
Thank you four detailed tutorial, very helpful, just finished building my pc now, going to update the bios.
Awesome 👍 Glad I could help.
very helpful, easy and straight to the point
Glad I could help 😀👍
Thank you friend. I've updated the bios with your help.
Hello from Russia.
Glad I could help
The issue im having after doing these steps is "Selected file is not proper bios" i made sure to check its the right mobo, its a formatted 8gb flash drive on fat32. Any suggestions? Ty
Great toot I'm about to start building my first PC and I have a B550-XE pairing with a Ryzen 9 5800X and pcpartpicker was saying I will have to update the BIOS on the MOBO for it to support the CPU.
Thanks and enjoy your new PC.
Well that was simple. Thanks for the easy to follow video lol
You're welcome!
You explained everything very good. It was easy to update
About to buy this mobo, super nice tutorial, much needed, Thanks 😄😄👍👍
Glad I could help
Thank you for the great tutorial. Very helpful and easy to follow.
Glad it was helpful!
Hey ive been having problems with my bluetooth ever since i got it and i have no clue if its something with the driver or what. Hope you see this! 😅
Will see if it works but i think so, thanks a lot man. Wish you all the best!
Best of luck!
@@NorthernVikingEveryday Everything worked. I am happy, thx mate!
Thank you. This was excellent and gave me the confidence to do this daunting task. Im curious...Do they need BIOS updates in Valhalla? If they do, you're made! 😂
Awesome! Glad you got it figured out.
Thank you sir. Much needed reminder as I haven't done this in a while.
Glad to help
Followed the instruction. At boot I get:
We detected a new ftpm. . .
If you did not apply ftpm function, press Y to continue. then in red "please ensure you have a recovery key or the system will not boot without a recovery key." Since I don't know what a recovery key is, I likely don't have one. is this just for bitlocker/encryption enabled?
So do I press Y or no? the video did not cover this step. : )
Thank you, was helpful to this user :)
You're welcome!
I know this is kind of late but if anyone was having trouble updating (I couldn’t find a usb less than 64gb on me and things got a little funky) heres another method. You can just update by using the bios menu. Open bios by pressing the delete key when the computer is posting. That should open the bios, now under the tools tab there should be an option called “ASUS EZ Flash 3 Utility”. You can then choose the drive and select the update file within it. It even shows you a progress bar so you know how far along the update is going. I find this method more intuitive and less “cross your fingers and hope the flashing lights turn off”. Cheers
* Also if your light blinks a few times and remains solid afterwards make sure you have the right motherboard bios update. The WiFi version and non WiFi version bios updates are not cross compatible.
Followed instruction and now speak fluent mandarin !
Hi Excelent video, im new and my question is i need to do this before or after i install the cpu?
Seen a couple of posts mentioning that they're getting "Selected file is not proper bios", make sure to check that you're getting the correct BIOS since we have "Asus Strix B550-F WiFi II" BIOS and "Asus Strix B550-F" without WiFi
Do you have to have the whole computer built or can you just have the 24pin and cpu cables connected?
This was a great video nice and simple too 👍
Awesome 👍 Glad I could help.
Ive tried this but after a while the led stops flashing and turns solid green and doesnt turn off. What can I do for it to work?
I ended up looking through the manual because I got stuck here too and found this:
" If the light flashes for five seconds and turns into a solid light, this means that the
BIOS FlashBack™ is not operating properly. This may be caused by improper
installation of the USB storage device and filename/file format error. If this scenario
happens, please restart the system to turn off the light."
I've just redownload the BIOS file to redo everything so I don't know what's exactly causing it but seems there's still more work to be done! I hope this helps or that you were able to get it fixed!
@@T3CH-SUPP0RThow do I restart the system
nice :D
thx for your video, very helpfull!
No problem!
Amazing tutorial but I have a question, how can I define which BIOS versión should I install for my AMD 5000 cpu? Just download the latest version and that's it?
Typically you would install the newest BIOS version. If I remember correctly, there are notes that show you which version different features were added.
Thanks for the response@@NorthernVikingEveryday
Thanks I was about to go crazy
You're welcome 🤗
Thank you my friend and I wish you the best
Thank you 👍
super easy and very helpfull, thank you so much
I need help. I follow these steps and the light is not blinking it's only steady. It's been more than 10mins that the light hasn't turned off. Help please. My motherboard is rog strix b550A gaming.
Tengo el mismo problema, no sé que estaré haciendo mal
Same. Now I can’t even access bios
Great job man
Thanks 😊
Hello bro, it works without cpu??
Your a gent. Cheers mate 👍
Glad to help
Thanks! Worked for me!
You're welcome!
Thank you so much! You've been so helpful. I just have a quick question if you don't mind. What does "1. Update AGESA version to ComboV2PI 1.2.0.B
2. Update AMD 5000/3000 Series CPU fTPM version, please back up Bitlocker recovery key before updating this version BIOS" mean? Are those steps I have to complete before flashing the BIOS or is that what the BIOS update is doing? Sorry if that's a silly question. T.T
I haven't dealt with this before, but if you do a quick Google search a couple others are describing the problem. You should be able to find a solution there.
Very useful 👌 10 out of 10
Excellent
There’s no bios renamer in my file and there’s literally 40+ files inside. I don’t know why mine is so different but I have the exact same motherboard and it’s so different now. Plugged it into the bios slot and pressed the button and let it run its course and it does nothing. Also the light doesn’t behave the same way. It flashes for three seconds then stays on.
I ran the first file but the second file didnt change its name..? Did I do something wrong?
Does it stay solid green until it’s done?
So the only difference i have, i use a USB of 100Gb+, i've made a partition in Fat32 (of like 2.9Go) and the reste is non partition. When i push the button, it flash like 3 or 4 times and then stay on for a long time (it's still on). Am i doing it wrong? Did i need to get a 4Go USB to do this? Did i need to return the motherboard?
Thank you for the tutorial so mine after holding it for 3 seconds it flashed green then turned green solid and I guess when that is off I'd assume it's done right? I have the exact same motherboard so will see.
the same thing happened to me, did you find a solution?
so i just helped my brother with this. he was using the wrong bios, make sure you are using the bios for the proper mobo
@@glizbythegoat hi, maybe a bit late, but I found a solution to it by installing an older version, not the latest
Very nice tutorial, thank you very much!
Glad it was helpful!
Nice it help me alot new subscriber here 😊
Thanks for subbing!
My version is the b550f wifi. Current bios is 1401. I keep getting an error in the bios for the ez flash saying it’s not a correct bios file. I followed your instructions it’s still not working. Any help?
Friend I have a b550-I gaming and I want to know how I can restart the manual bios, it's that I touch some options in the bio and it doesn't give me video now and I want to restart manual but I don't know how to do it
My light blinks a few times and then stays lit, no blinking for over 4 minutes. Any answers on that?
I am having an issue where my laptop won’t let me eject my flash drive because it’s “being used by another program” but I have no other programs running
Stupid question. The light stopped flashing but is a constant green. Does that mean its still updating? Should the light turn off?
if the light stays a solid green that means it cannot read the flash drive so no its not updating.....make sure your flash drive in FAT32 and MBR not GPT. Also if you still get the solid green light this is how to actually get it to read ur flash drive shut down ur pc, unplug your power cord from ur PSU and while its unplugged hit the power button to make sure you get rid of the extra power that you have going through it...wait 10 sec then plug it back in do not turn ur pc on then plug in ur flash drive and then hold the flashback button for 3 sec and it should end up working...if it does work and it keeps flashing do not turn on ur pc just wait till the flashing stops and goes away. Once u have no more green light then turn ur pc back on.
@bud7105 I finally got it to work. I had to command prompt it to format to MBR and then it copied over and my pc recognized it and flashed until the update was done. Thank you!!!
@@bigred1712 I'm Glad you got it to work, i had a issue with the same thing till i just kept trying different things and finally figured it out so once i seen your issue i knew that i had to let you know.
Hello, firstly congratulations on the channel, in the documentation for this mobo it says that it accepts this AMD RYZEN 5 4600G BOX CPU, I updated the BIOS, but it still doesn't recognize the CPU, do you have any idea what it could be?
Thank you! If it says it's accepted and the BIOS is updated, I'm not sure what it could be off the top of my head but if I think of something I'll let you know. I would also try contacting Asus to see if they have any solutions for you.
@@NorthernVikingEveryday perfect! I'm still testing, as soon as we have a view from Asus, I'll bring updates here, thank you. Let's see if I can solve the mystery
I updated the bios but I kept booting into the bios every time, so I enabled CSM and was able to boot into Windows!
Can this motherboard have everything mounted (except for RAM) and then be updated with backflash?. Also can I jump directly to the latest BIOS version? I have a 5700X3D and I'm sure it's not supported by the mb out of the box, also I don't have RAM. Ty!
Is there any downside to grabbing the 'latest version' and does it have all the updates of all the updates inbetween? I'm still on 2803 and wondering if I can update to the latest without issue. Thanks for the video in advance!
Yes It would have everything in between. You'd want to upgrade it to the newest.
If assembling for the first time should I do this with the computer assembled or before installing cpu and ram
Not all. Motherboards are compatible with all CPUs out of the box so depending on your CPU you may need to do it at the beginning. Otherwise, you can update the BIOS later if you want. You can typically see on the motherboard website whether your CPU will be compatible or you need an updated bios version.
@@NorthernVikingEveryday Thank you for the the tip. This is my first build so the advice is greatly appreciated.
Is this the best way if I'm upgrading my cpu ?
On my usb it says the file was modified on 2/2/2023, but yours says 2/10, is that a problem with my system time?
Thats pretty much fool proof thx! Btw does the fat32 Stick have to be empty, or can it also contain other files. Normally i flash the bios through the bios settings, so ill try the button for the first time as it seems easier.
Used 4 usb drives all formatted fat32 cleaned an converted to mdr on command prompt. Nothing works. I literally cant buy 2.0 drives under 64gigs anywhere so i have to format it. Everything i try ends up wits a continuous flash light instead of blinking. Is my mobo just e waste at this point?
very cool.
i liked and subscribed.
My Intel Core i5-14500 2.6 GHz 14-Core Processor
wont work with my motherboard:
Asus ROG STRIX B760-A GAMING WIFI ATX LGA1700 Motherboard
Your vid came in very handy ! (well, I've not completed the update yet)
Glad you enjoyed it and thank you very much for the sub.
Can i have the windows 11 and the bios upgrade on the same flashdrive or i need to insert it twoce with each one ty
Really usefull thanks for your help
You are most welcome
I have a Ryzen 7 5700X with this motherboard but I'm not sure If they are compatible. This would be my first PC so idk how to know if that processor is compatible.
Head on over to the MSI website and they have a list of compatible CPUs there listed when you bring up the motherboard.
Can you help? I did this and now my pc is stuck in bios :(
Hi, how typ know if the update completed? Like can you se in vips what version you have
As far as I can judge it as a "normal" PC user, this is not only an extremely easy and safe way to update the BIOS version, but it is also the best explanation for it for me so far, so thank you for sharing 😊👍 ... and I say this even though English is not my first language
But now I still have another problem:
In my AMD (5600 CPU + 6700 GPU) gaming PC from March 2021, the superb "ASUS ROG STRIX B500-F GAMING" motherboard is installed with the BIOS version "1805" ... I`m using the current version of Windows 10 Home 22H2 ... if I want to update this older BIOS version now as shown in this video, do I always use the latest version on top of the list, even if it is actually designed for Windows 11 or do I have to use the latest version in the list especially designed for Windows 10 instead? ... as far as I can judge it this PC is still running fast and fluid with no issues like on the first day ... ok, if at some point I have to switch to Windows 11 in autumn 2025 at the latest or maybe something more current from Microsoft, then I will probably have to install the latest BIOS version, because I assume that will not happen automatically, right?
I'm always reluctant, especially when it comes to my own interventions in the depths of the system, such as the BIOS, you can hardly get any deeper, especially if you don't know your way around so well and if everything is basically working as usual.
By the way, is there a video on this channel showing how to upgrade to Windows 11 or to install it properly on a Windows 10 PC without loosing the installed programms, games, files, data and so on? What would be the best way to do this, an update simply via "Windows Update" in the "System Settings" or a complete new installation via Microsoft Windows 11 Installation Assistant? Sorry, but I`m a lazy boy, that`s the reason for these questions 😉
My light is just solid, not flashing. Should i worry?
I appreciate this video so much 🙏 thank you
You are so welcome!
Awesome! Question what about the drivers and tools can we download those when downloading Bios into USB?
I typically go download the driver's once the PC's up and running. The bios is separate.
@@NorthernVikingEveryday thanks for replying back! I appreciate it! Can’t wait to try out my first pc!
i got Strix B550-F not the wifi version, is it the same as in the video?
What doesnit mean when the bios LED stays solid after doing the initial 3 flashes. Then the USBdr ive light will flash once then turn off.
did you ever find out?
Wrong slot
Question: can this method be used with a 5 series cpu already in?
yes
Can you help me ? My asus b550 F strix is showing a red light where the cpu 8 + 4 pin is located. I only plugged in 8 pin cpu power dont have the extra 4 pin. Problem is no boot no qled indication light. Try diff ram and working gpus.
worked perfectly sir . thank you very much .
You're welcome!
should i do this with my MB ? i have the same and have not installed windows 11 i dont know how lol, it just starts at the BIOS lol
شكرا لك، سوف اجرب هذه الطريقة بعد ان تصل اللوحة الام ان شاء الله
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
I’m having some problems not sure where I went wrong. Using this mb and a ryzen 5 5600x. In the bios menu it said it was an improper bios so I tried to download windows first instead and now I’m stuck in the windows 11 installer with a system incompatible message. I guess the fix is in bios but I can’t force open my bios page
Can you do this board the same way you did the tuf b550 plus wifi 2? Right out the box and just hook up the PSU? Update before installing in a case?
Yes, you can.
My green bios light flashed 3 times and is now staying solid what does this mean
Did you eventually figure it out if yes what’s the fix
@@alspcrepair I didn’t, I think it’s bricked bricked, I have two different amd cpus both a 5000 and 3000 series and neither worked, none of my fans on anything started up(psu, gpu, cpu cooler) so I just sent it to asus it’s honestly probably beat. Reddit says someone was downloading wrong bios, but I was not, and the fact two different series didn’t work I think might be a sign. Hopefully asus figures it out for me.
@@alspcrepair this is the fifth pc I’ve built and I’m very frustrated, I went through with a meter checking everything and wasn’t getting much readings on anything. Pretty much just where the psu was connected.
Wow
I’m running B550-F with “oldest” BIOS 1205 ver with 5600X that’s several years old, should I hassle with updating it and expect any appparent improvements with newer AGESA’s and what not? Also I’m thinking on upgrading to 58003XD so I might need to do it anyways
I have a very stupid question, does the 5800x stays when your doing the bios update. I know it's a yes but I still need confirmation. Sorry
no need to remove the cpu but if you've done some overclocking that will be resetted to default
I'm having alot of trouble getting the ethernet set up for this, I don't know what I'm doing wrong or how to fix it. I can't even download windows because of the no connection so I'm stuck on the BIOS screen please help
Do I have to remove the CPU and RAM? Thanks
WHAT?
