This is prolly the best vid I've seen on this. The warning at the start was really helpful!

Excellent tutorial. Clear, thorough and easy to follow.

Thank you. Your video online explains everything other videos didn't mentioned. Subbed

I did it with the flashback and it worked perfectly, thank you! (I don't know if it's needed, but I also reset all bios settings before updating just in case)

This is the exact guide I needed. Thanks for making this video.

Super simple thank you! nothing complicated explained perfectly

Excellent tutorial wow. Thanks

Dude great video! Thank you!

Ty for the video!🙏

Amazing and simple video to follow and worked like a charm. Thank you! You have a new sub now too!

I didn't really notice anything different in that regard. There's another BIOS update for the x570 gaming edge wifi which I'm going to be doing tonight. Games are crashing again...

Amazing and helpful video, I never Updated my B550 gaming edge. And also, how is that background called?

Thanks For method 2 should I press the flash back button followed by the power button?

Nice

i’ll try and update it, and it does everything it should but after it’s done it’s still in the same state it was at the beginning

When I unzipped the update there were 3 files not 2. Then in M-flash there was the option to update BIOS and another to update BIOS and ME. I decided to just update BIOS and it seemed to work just fine. Should I also update ME and is that what the extra file in the zipped folder is for?

Your video made my life like helll. instead of using flash bios button i updated bios from inside bios option. the ".ROM" somehow make whole the pc unstable. sometime it boot sometime not. then again flash the bios. now everything just fine

Good, you didn't list the horrid live update option that corrupts the bios. I always use the bios flashback button but either bios option works well... Good job for listing the warning... I would have recommended when in doubt to use an UPS or APC battery backup... Luckily bios flashback can still work with a corrupt bios, I should know. Live update corrupted my bios twice never ever being successful.

Help, why or how do I get the "board explorer" feature on MSI bios? I have z690 tomahawk ddr4 wifi MOBO and it shows "beta" in the box where "board explorer" would be if I had it.

do I copy only the one that starts with e or both of them onto the USB drive?

my pendrive is 128gb.. so should i format it to ntfs?

I have a MSI codex X3 prebuilt motherboard is Z270 SLI plus, bought from microcenter 5 years ago, yesterday I just bought 3600mzh ram and i am getting 2133mhz, so I saw a message asking me to go into bios to make update. Then I realized that a lot of the BIOS features seem to have gone from the BIOS, there should be 6 sections on the main part of the BIOS, like overclocking settings, advanced options, but there are only 3 tabs. Overclocking tab is not there. I tried updating the bios using M-flash which should be a tab on the BIOS, but its not there. I think this is a custom kinda BIOS that microcenter and MSI have done, they got it locked up and extremely limited from future upgrades. Writing this whole experience makes me think that I just got scammed by either microcenter and MSI prebuilt pc and I just realized it 5 years later. Is there anyway to unlock this and make the motherboard back to normal status?

I have msi gf63 thin 11uc and idk why the bios are maybe the first version of click bios, I need to go to click bios 5, so I can have some real bios not only to see the parameters, is this possible or my motherboard can't handle it?

I send each document over speperatly see them in my flashdrive and restart and it doesnt show up as an option on bios to update why.

Probably is because your flashdrive try with older pendrives like 2012 Ones that cheap ones for the school back then like the Wii and ps3 if u flash it, some newer pendrives with fat32 dont work as they should, try to ask someone who had one old or something or get a 1$ pen drive in marketplace

It could also be that you have the most current bios version on your system. In that case you wont get the pop up windows asking if you want to select that file. This may only apply to newer motherboards!

It worked but my controller isn’t showing up on my pc do I need to download new drivers?

how u make your apps look like that

I have a small query, I tried to update via the mflash method. I reformatted the thumb drive and got to the menu where I was supposed to be but the update file was no where to be seen. Do perhaps have to use winrar or can I just extract the files normally, and perhaps my thumb drive is incompatable for this purpose.

Any fixes?

I have a flash drive that's default is fat32 and so when I format it just wipes everything, not sure if that's the source of the error. But when I go into BIOS and to do the M flash the flash drive just shows up blank. No file just the directory folder. I don't have any other flashdrives just laying around atm so I can't update it and I don't have a feasible way to get ahold of one. So I have to make it work otherwise my motherboard's old bios will conflict with my new cpu. The board doesn't seem to have a flash bios button either.

Formatting a USB will wipe the USB (it's somewhat the point of formatting). I'm pretty sure this is an issue with the USB drive. Mflash and the flashback button are terribly picky with the USB flash drive you use to upgrade the BIOS with. You can try the flashback button, you should have one as most modern day boards include them, but I don't think you'll have much luck with it if Mflash doesn't work. I really suggest getting a new USB flash drive. Your best bet is to get a brand name drive (San disk, Lexar, Kingston) that is 8-16GB in size. It shouldn't cost more than $10 and is totally worth it if you need it to upgrade your CPU. It is possible to upgrade your BIOS using MSI's dragon center software but I Highly Highly DON'T recommend it and I have heard horror story's if it bricking motherboards.

Sorry I'm kinda confused. On the flash bios button, you said you don't have to have any components installed for this method, but the pc was already built in this video. So can i just download the bios from another computer and place it on a flash drive then plug it in my motherboard that doesn't have any components in yet? Sorry, I'm new to this.
