The Positive side for the users
What can we do now:
- Turing (RTX 2xxx Series) down toGeforce GPUs have full crossflash ability now.
- SubSystem Vendor to Vendor crossflash ability, as long as power headers are identical (Bellow 2000 series, it adapts on 3000-4000 series) & as long as no custom i²c or voltage controller modifications exist (3000+ series)
- Usage of this version without a ring-back server check &without a minimum-req version check
- Ability to downgrade InfoROM & XUSB FW to remove SW EEPROM lockdown // mostly a thing between different EEPROMs like ISSI or for situations with dGPU’s on Laptops or similar
- As long as 32-bit & 8-bit checksum on usermod is correct, biosmod flash and bypass FE / VendorCert / XOC Cert / MasterCert ~ golden card system. Basicallyflash what you desire, as long as EEPROM size can take it.
- Use the patched version to talk with Falcon , in case Developer knows how to contact it & utilize Nvidia™ powrprof.dll + MUTEX // example to build AIB Control tools, like GALAX NVVDD Tool
- Basically created the foundation required to build future projects, ontop with cool features grated to MUTEX access
If it fails for you due to Nvidia’s Bird Falcon sleeping, i likely can but in the current state refuse to help.
// The issue sits between sleeping falcon & sw eeprom access lock (XUSB FW) ~ blown fuse.
The damage towards Nvidia™ (workforce required to patch/rewrite) is equally as big, as the backslash to us the buyers and users of their Hardware.
Meaning,
What the release of the early versions and now this full versions have in response,
Is a hardpatch to/on Lovelace v2 onwards,
// unless NVIDIA either Copyright Strikes or looks-away & accepts the increased nvidia userbase due to more granted freedom.
How to utilize the tool fully:
Open a CMD/Powershell window with admin permission
and cd (navigate) to your target folder
.\omgvflash.exe -6 filename.rom
-6 triggers the tree of patches and bypasses herby everything
If you fail and want to check what's going on
.\omgvflash.exe -A filename.romI hope you enjoy,
Be careful what you flash
If the tool fails an your custom rom edit,
It means you do not pass both verifications
The 8-bit Checksum’s and the 32-bit File-checksum
For RTX 3000-4000+ , this includes the HMAC certificate.
Soo feel free to try and best of luck.
How to repair a bricked card ?
As long as your EEPROM holds any NVIDIA ROM, it is reflashable
First boot with CSM enabled, from another card.
This marks in UEFI state that card as priority device
Now turn off the PC and put your bricked card into slot two
Do keep your display out to your primary helpers card
Due to the primary card being in priority mode - it will accept boot and not fail detection
Use:
.\omgvflash.exe --index=0 -6 backup_rom.rom
And be more careful next time :)
Anything like a Lightning / Matrix / GALAX HOF card, does utilize modifications on the PCB
RTX cards do mostly adapt to memory and powerplug changes (inconsistencies) but there are limits.
