X99-A II Flashback

WatchTower · 26 Jun 2016 at 15:40

I tried to update the bios in the bios but the bios itself locked up and now I need to use Flashback. I can't find what name to rename the cap file to for flashback to detect it. I can only find the previous X99-A boards name X99A.CAP

Need help pls

X99A2.cap??

I would try this. Follows normal naming scheme.

I formatted a USB 2.0 pen drive to FAT32 put the CAP file directly on it with nothing else on the drive and renamed it X99A2.CAP. I put the usb pendrive in the USB port directly below the Flashback.button. I held the button a few seconds until the LED started blinking but after blinking about five times it goes solid. So unable to install the Bios.

There's a specific usb slot to use (just in case you haven't seen). I'm sure 8pack is right about the name, but to check if you search 'asus bios renamer tool' you can find a utility which renames the cap file appropriately.

I think it's the slot at the bottom right if you are looking at the back of the board horizontally.

It's alive that was the one slot I hadn't tried too. Thanks I can stop pulling my hair out now.

So relieved
