Topic: ATIFlash/ATIWinFlash does NOT work on the latest/current Windows 10 update (Read 7611 times)

Sorry if I write in an old post, but it had to be logically completed.

There is always a solution to the problem, the question is different, are you ready to make this decision.
In your case, reinstalling Windows 10 will help.
And most importantly, you need to use the proven version of ATIFlash compatible with BIOS

I have this error with that driver on Windows 7 64bit 7601 with AtiWinFlash 2.84.. And it hangs after the message that flashing is ok (sometimes it even doesn't appear). But! Somehow the flashing works! I just have to reboot via power or reset button. And just one time today it even didn't hang!!  So, does it mean that this driver isn't needed to flash? I think I'll try AtiWinFlash 2.77 today..
Update: my bad, that is just a 32bit driver and thus is blocked.

There is another way to get around this problem that has worked for some people.

1) make sure you have your monitor attached to a non bios modded card
2) uninstall current AMD driver then reboot.  Windows will use generic driver for GPU.
3) run ATI Flash GUI and do whatever mods you want then reboot.
4) reinstall AMD driver reboot
5) run Pixel Patcher for newly modded cards and reboot

Modded cards should now be recognized by system and ready to go.

This worked for me.
Updated three out of four AMD rigs to 1803 and was able to flash the RX 570's using Atiflash (opening command prompt in admin mode and flashing using command line).

This works flawlessly. Just make sure you open CMD as an adminstrator so everything you run is as admin and it will work perfectly. Atiwinflash graphical kind of sucks because it doesn't give much information about devices and only shows 2 devices but running this with ONE device connected ensures there will be no mistakes as to what flash is going where.

USE THIS. Do not look past this post because if this doesn't work for you, you did one of the steps wrong or used the wrong flash. Opening CMD as administrator is a must.(you right click over cmd in cortana and tell it to run it as administrator).

I have NO idea why Windows up and decided to crap on the ATIWinFlash Utility with the latest version of windows THAT MS WILL force you to update to. I guess a shady driver it doesn't like without you running as absolute admin? In any case, it's a bit of a pain to unplug cards and shifting stuff around but it works and will not brick as long as you use the right rom.

Oh in my case, I flashed it in a full slot. No clue if a riser is any different but it shouldn't be as the riser has access to the same parts of the card for updating the rom as a full pcie slot does.

Use this latest AMD/ATI ATIFlash 2.84 it works

What Windows 10 build and AMD driver version?

Please help I have the same issue, except for me, every time I click the "Load" button on the GUI my entire PC freezes.

RX 580 8Gb hynix flashing modded bios normal without errors...

Hi!

Now we can open the v2.84 in Windows 10 but....

I Have a lot of problems saving the BIOS and can not write any Modded bios...

It always says "Error reading from ROM"... I change Risers, change GPU.. and still the same problem with my RX570 8GB Micron memory.


Any can help ??

Thanks a lot!!

Thanks a lot for telling the community !!

good news.

AMD/ATI ATIFlash 2.84
https://www.techpowerup.com/download/ati-atiflash/

Exccelent!!!! What interesting - I'm looks for it about hour ago, it was no new version! They are published it just right now!

UPDATE TODAY!!!!! 2.84 works on new windows!!!! WOHOOO THAAANKS

Are you running it from an administrator command prompt, using the command line pasted a few posts above? It seems almost crazy that it works for some people and not for others?

2.67 works, but it doesn't support cards Polaris and up.

Ok, tried to run in administrator mode the versions: 274, 271, 417, 411, 407, nothing works after the April update... 

I know this doesn't make any sense but I read on discord that a guy by passed this problem on windows 10 build 1803 using an older version of ati flash. The thing is I can't remember which ati flash version he used. And I'm not sure he was telling the truth either. I'll start testing older version one by one, and I'll let you know if It worked out.

thanks, with the portable version works good for me

i run cli as admin, i get no errors, only the message put a key, thats all, and reinstall of win is no solution for me

yea , https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/install-windows-from-a-usb-flash-drive


How to Run a Portable Version of Windows from a USB Drive

https://lifehacker.com/how-to-run-a-portable-version-of-windows-from-a-usb-dri-1565509124

Make sure to run your command prompt as administrator. What error message is being displayed?

I reinstalled Windows 10 1607, got the iso from windowsiso.net. This version worked.

doesn’t work, any other solution?

Nice! Worked for me too.

Same as here several days ago. I have to reinstall windows 10, and never update it anymore, and everything work fine.
I think that happen with windows's update 1803 because many forum says atiflash can not work at that ver update. So from that conclusion we can say don't update to 1803 again if we want to mod bios.

This worked for me.
Updated three out of four AMD rigs to 1803 and was able to flash the RX 570's using Atiflash (opening command prompt in admin mode and flashing using command line).

Is there a way to create a bootable usb with an older version of Windows 10?

use a virtual drive and boot windows 1709 that way if you don't want to go back . i got it work using a program like https://msfn.org/board/topic/149612-winntsetup-v390/  WinNTSetup v3.9.0  you can delete the Virtual drive once your done .

sys files from AtiFlash is signed by ATI technologies in 2006. All 3 drivers is old from 2006...

Then twitter storm to ask AMD for an update !

As I know utility maded by AMD. Look at certificate in signing.

Does anyone know how to contact the authors ?

Well at one point, authors will have to update for it.

Anybody got a solution on that ? No i dont want to go back because at one point i will need to update.

SAME

It created errors in Event Viewer /Adm Events
Event ID: 1000
Exception code: 0xc0000005
Error code: 0x00001eb7

Everytime you try to run it through CLI

I didn't have this message in event viewer. Only that loading of driver atidgllk.sys was blocked.

hello,

anyone else looking in event viewer?

when is try to start atiflash i get error message about the "AUEPMaster.exe" = AMD User Experience - maybe thats the problem?

Looks like Uncle Bill build bigest crypto mining farm on planet with windows 1803.
CPU usage of system 25-30% even if you dont do nothing with comp.
CMD dont work, ATIFLASH dont work..... looks like Uncle BILL want to destroy mining.
It is SUCKS!!!!!!!!
Someone should sued him for those scam windows updates.

It depends, I myself find windows a lot better, if linux had something that only linux has then linux would be better, as right now, none is better, is about preference. For example, people said the windows was to blame concerning the asus b250 mining expert working with only 13 gpus, since nobody came with the idea of making the b250 mining expert with 19 gpus to work on linux then now they dont blame the windows anymore. See my point.

What about mining with other os? Windows are better?

So windows 1803 is pretty much useless for mining, time to time miners need to flash the bios, need to send the word to program authors.

cmd as admin. Not works.

Does it work on command prompt? cmd as admin?

Tried to run as Admin and without him.
Tried compatibility modes.
DEP enabled only for essential Windows programs and services only.
Tried to disable AV.
Nothing helps.

Interesting, that version 2.67 runs, but it didn't have Polaris support... Any version after 2.67 didn't runs on 1803 build.

Is ATIWinFlash being ran as an Admin (right-click, Run as Admininstrator)? I don't currently have a way of testing this, so I'm attempting to help blind, so to speak.
Has anyone tried turning off Data Execution Prevention (DEP) and then running ATI WinFlash?
    Right-click on This PC.
    Choose Properties.
    Click Advanced system settings.
    On the System Properties window, click the Advanced tab.
    In the Performance section, click Settings.
    Click the Data Execution Prevention tab.
    Click to select the radio button next to Turn on DEP for essential Windows programs and services only.
    Click OK.
    Attempt to run ATIWinFlash as an Admin (right-click, Run as Administrator).

How about disabling (temporarily) Windows Defender and/or other Antivirus software you may have installed?

Early or later we will use 1803 version. It's not a solution...

The only solution I found is to revert to the previous windows version. A lot of problems with the update.

Can concur on this issue, did a fresh install on a rig yesterday with 1803 ISO, could not get system stable (high cpu usage with 12 gpu rig) and ATiFlash refused to work (does nothing when you run it)

Reverted back 1709 and it works fine.

Windows 10 1803. AtiFlash 2.77 didn't work. No errors at start. But in the event viewer it's error on driver that AtiFlash use for work.
It's atidgllk.sys
On latest 1803 this driver can't be loaded by AtiFlash.

Same issue here. ATI WINFLASH needs updated to cooperate with the latest Windows 10 update.

Windows 10 pro 1803 version.
ATI 2.77
The AtiFlash didnt start at all. No visible errors.

Also after the win update moded bios of RX580 card is "locked" and I cant change settings with wattman or overdriveNTool.

Thanks.

he may need to look at the build for 1803 it had a update sense it came out it did work with 1803 17134.1 now its up to 1803 17134.48 it won't work for me either with 17134.48 but does with 17134.1 or did .

if hes having the same issue I am no error click it, it acts like it wants to work the mouse spins then stops and nothing.

What version of Windows 10 are you running (winver)? Version 1803?
What version of ATI WinFlash? AMD/ATI ATIFlash 2.77?
What GPUs are you trying to flash and what is the exact error you're getting?

works for me or did the other day after i updated to the April update i bought a new 570 was able to use it .

try windows clean install ?  maybe . i all ways do a clean install with those kind of updates .

Mine worked now it doesn't ,I see they did another update sense the April update or spring update i leave auto updates on.


take it back to either the first spring update with system restore or a back up iF you have one then try or go back to 1709 and use it then up update back  . or go to
