The only successful recoveries I've read all used AMIBOOT.ROM for MSI w/ Aptio

Have you tried using external keyboard with dedicated Home button? Maybe the Home shortcut is troublesome.

Tryed with a standart USB keyboard but it didn't work. Is it possible that MSI change the file name to set to recover ? I've read that HP change it to HPBIOS.ROM on some of their laptops with an AMI's BIOS.

Try burning the ROM to a CD and try the same procedure with a CD instead of USB. Did you plug USB into 3.0 or 2.0 port? AFUDOS will refuse to flash if the ID's don't match up (and give you a warning), in which case a /X parameter would be necessary to force flash. I doubt you flashed the wrong file.

I've test with the official 30M bios renamed to AMIBOOT.ROM on usb key formated in FAT32 on USB2 and USB3 port and i've test to burn a CD with this same file alone on it ... and still nothing ... the LED on my usb key blink during about 2 sec but nothing else append. Is AMIBOOT.ROM the correct name for the BIOS rom file ?

That's weird... I modified the file in your link, should work perfectly fine. Must be a bad flash... did you flash per DOS?

I've put FreeDos on my USB key (like MSI official procedure) and i've modified your update.bat with the name of the file you sent me.

Why the blind flash method (officiel 30M bios renamed to AMIBOOT.ROM) didn't work ? My USB key work 2 sec after pressing CTRL + SHIFT + PadNum 7 and then nothing ... even if I wait 10 minutes ... I've try with Ctrl + Fn + Home, same thing.

Still have the boot screen when powering on but Del, F11 and F3 key didn't work.

Test this. Let me know whether you can access the Memory Config in the main tab. PMd you the pw for the archive, please post a screenshot of the main tab and memory config (if accessible).

I've flashed it, flash process was successful but my GT70 won't boot .... I've the first Screen with MSI logo and then black screen. I've test the 2 recovery solution in the first post but no one worked ... what can I do ??

Successfully flashed MSI_GTX680m4gb_+_200MHz_OV_ver2.zip on my GT70, all looks well, clock speeds took as well did the voltage change.

I am having one issue though, why in the world is Afterburner not working for me? I can't make adjustments at all. Any ideas?

Ohh .... Are you using Windows 7 ? Did you uninstall your driver before flashing ? Which command do you use ? nvflash -6 your_file.rom ? No blue screen in Windows 7 after flashing ?

Yep

In the post it's a new official BIOS posted in a topic concerning a beta EC.

Here a valid and public download link : http://demo.ovh.com/fr/f60a8eb6acedb7ce1e4ea24ac59d6403/

Hi !

I haven't this Memory Information menu on my GT70 0NE :

I've this BIOS : MSI GT70 Unlocked.zip

You should update your modified BIOS for GT60 and GT70 with the "O" version available here : BETA EC for GT60 (16F3) & GT70 (1762)

Thx.

Not locked, I can modify it, but it will most likely throttle down when set to +200MHz.

As I've mentioned before, I'm working on improving the mods, but not 24/7 of course. I'll post it here as soon as I got something ready. Might be today, might be this week... can't really give you a date.

Ok thx for the informations !

Take your time, the 680M stock is amazing compared to the 570m I had before !

Subsystem ID mismatch doesn't matter.

The tweaks I've done in the files you mention won't work in the vbios you posted. Not sure why your system doesn't work with it, that's odd. I can do a more moderate mod on the OEM vbios, that should work.

The VBIOS I've post is locked ? It's impossible to mod it to get +200 Hz & OV ?

Ok, so your 2 MSI 680M 4GB VBIOS seems to be based on a different stock VBIOS than those i've extract from my own MSI 680M 4GB GPU :

Your MSI_GTX680m4gb_'OCedition'_VBIOS.zip make my GPU not reconized by Windows and MSI_GTX680m4gb_+_200MHz_OV_ver2.zip cause BSOD at Windows start.

Can you modify my original stock VBIOS like the 2 others you already post ? [ATTACH]5295[/ATTACH]

Thx.

Why the size of my original stock MSI 4GB 680M VBIOS is different than your modified VBIOS ?

GT70 modified BIOS seem to don't save the Killer Ethernet card params I've set with Shift+F10 Menu.

Xonar's modified GT70 BIOS worked fine with BETA EC for GT60 (16F3) & GT70 (1762)

There is new bios for MSI GT60 & GT70 here : BETA EC for GT60 (16F3) & GT70 (1762)

E16F3IMS.30O

E1762IMS.30O

Warner on MSI's forums : Some minor fixes, that's why it's unreleased.

Got a MSI GT70 with Intel Core i7 3740QM QS if you need.

I've found a duplicated item in your modified BIOS, there is 2 time the option to make the MSI logo appear at startup but only one work.

Sorry for my english, I will post a picture to show you

EDIT :

Here, same option, only the second work :
