THE easiest way to flash your X800GTO2 via dvd \ cd (IMPROVED AND AUTOMATED)

download this ISO Unzip it and burn to CD / DVD (if you have nero, open it, close the wizard and from the record menu select burn image then select the ISO, if you have easy CD creator, i dont have a clue )

http://fobi29.free.fr/x800gto2/bios/16pipes/X800GTO2MoD.iso (fixed as of may 06, may also work with GTO and GT ranges, try at your own risk)


step 1 boot from CD\DVD by changing the bios boot order to boot the optical drive of your choice.

step 2Select the menu option of your choice
it will confirm a succesful flash once done.

step 3 Enjoy! :D


Recovering from a bad flash....

step 1, install a pci graphics card,

step 2, boot from DVD\CD

step 3, select option 2 from the boot menu

Step 4 Reboot and Retry the flash.

:D :D

EDIT**** Many of you are getting confused with regards to the difference between a zip/rar file and an ISO file. if you have Winrar installed it will show any ISO up as an archive, it isnt, winrar has nothing to do with it. just take the file and do exactly as it says above, just follow the instructions, and youl be fine :)


p.s. let me know how you get on :)

anything i can do to insure i dont have to install a floppy drive makes me happy. :) pls give feedback when your done just as a vote of confidence in it as i know some may be caucious :D
 
anytime :D im automating it right now, when im done youl get 2 boot options 1 saying flash to 16 pipes the other saying recover to default. when its done youl just have to select which and that will be it :) just trying to make it as simple as possible to avoid nasty failed flashes and such, :D
 
interesting... its worked for others... are you sure you typed it in properly?

Flashrom -F -P 0 X80016P.bin (the 0 is a number, NOT the letter o) you type this in when you get to the a:\
 
well, ive got 2 syntax errors im hunting now, nearly done though... its been years since i did dos, my skills have become weak :( a friend of mines put most of it together for me.
 
we will get you there :) but the images above should also work manually for you... ive just reflashed with them to double check :) you select ghost, it cant find any other drives on the system (which is intentional ;) the less contact with anything other than what your working on the better lol ) and defaults you to A:\ from there you should be able to type in flashrom -F -P 0 X80016P.bin and hit enter...
 
the case makes a difference??? its dos!! it shouldnt do lol will remember that one and change it all to upercase... just as soon as i figure out this ******* Batch file... driving me bonkers. anyway, go see what you can pull out of it and post in the mods and clocks for GTO2 thread :D glad your happy :)
 
lol, well ive got my sticky so thats all the thanks i need... simple pleasures :D i take it you used my little creations too ? if so dont forget to go post what your clocking up to and a 3d05 score :D seems to be an interesting variation on these, some people are only getting 540 on the memory, others getting 650!! lol, still, even at stock speeds an extra 4 pipes for nothings always nice :D
 
1 boot from the disk youve made

2 select option 1 (GHOST)

3 wait till it drops you at the a:\ and type in the following exactly as its case sensitive.


flashrom -f -p 0 x80016p.bin (The 0 after -p is a number not a letter)

Thanks so much again. Card arrived this morning, flashed it successfully before work :D

Will get to overclocking it tonight :)

This card was such a bargain. Btw mine arrived in a box, not a jiffy bag as others said, maybe OcUK improved the process after people's comments?
Click to expand...


some peoples arrives in a jiffy bag!!! ??? :O i will think myself lucky for getting an undersized box with everything stuffed in it then :P still, as long as it works and it got here damn fast :)


p.s. good luck Danza
 
it is the sapphire GTO2 yes ??

does it confirm a succesful flash ?? if using my boot iso (which is for CD\DVD not floppy) are you selecting option 1 ??
