X800GTO2 AUTOMATED FLASH UTILITY Via DVD\CD for all OS ... Very easy :)

[locutus12]

howdy , first off let me just say im not a usual member here, i actually use overclockers.co.uk forums, i built them a util to make it easy to flash the GTO2 because the techpowerup guide and others are terrible lol, anyway, this is a simple procedure for X800GTO2 ONLY. And yes it works under all microsoft operating systems and i believe uner linux as well but im not 100% on that being as i havent tested it on that platform.


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 )

CLICK FOR GTO2 MOD!!

GTO2 Mod File Mirror

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

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

step 3 Enjoy!


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.



All i ask is that you post how you get on and if you use this anywhere else, please give me credit for it as it wasnt easy!! i havent seen an autoexec.bat for about 6 years let alone wrote one

p.s. let me know how you get on


my thanks to Fliguy84 and Ronin for the hosting space


Edit: Important. The Initial Flashrom Had An Error When Flashing Back To 12 Pipes, This Has Been Fixed But You Will Need To Redownload The Iso And Make A New Boot Cd. Sorry For The Trouble.

[lavaheadache]

[locutus12]

[Lord Banshee]

well i've got some space and dunno what to do with it

 

[goobernoodles]

Now I just need a place that has them IN STOCK! GAHHH!! This is so frusterating.

 

[locutus12]

try newegg.com or pricewatch.com if your in america,

use www.overclockers.co.uk if your in the UK like me

 

[ElFenix]

wow nice


might this work with the connect3d card?

 

[goobernoodles]

Its only the sapphire x800gto2's that are able to be unlocked with 100% success rate.

some of them unlock to 16 pipes but by no means all also the ram is a slower 2 nanosecond samsung/Hynix ram instead of the 1.6 on the GTO2 also it has the R420 core instead of the R480 on the GTO2 which means even if it does, you wont be able to clock it up the X850XTPE speeds sorry

 

[ElFenix]

techpowerup seems to think it'll work

 

[Pollock]

I'll definitely try this with my X800GTO2 once I get the rest of my problems sorted out (not a smooth transition to NF4)...

 

[AMDCrazy]

Can't get this to download correctly. Let me know what I have to do.

Could someone please tell me step by step how to do this please if it is so easy why can't I get it done.

"the regular GTO cards from Connect 3D are also moddable. However, the success rate is unknown!" - Techpowerup

with the GTO2 the mod rates 100% so far dont get me wrong, if the Connect3D GTO unlocks then thats great but to be certain people should pay the extra and get the GTO2 as it also overclocks far beyond the connect3d as well.


p.s. AMDCrazy the link is working, ive just tried it firewall perhaps?

 

[Ronin]

Now hosted at:

http://server.counter-strike.net/files/X800GTO2MoD.iso as well.

 

[nitromullet]

I don't have one of these cards, but this is a very cool thing to do.

Welcome to AT forums, locutus12.

edit: formatting

 

[AMDCrazy]

Ok getting pissed I can't get this to work at all so I guess I'm stuck with 12pipes

 

[AMDCrazy]

Could somebody who has done this take me thru step by step on what they did to get this to work.
