flash failed? xt conversion

[overclucker]

well i followed the guide on softmodding and it seemed to work at first, but when i restarted my comp it didn't register as a x800xt and still only 12 pipes open, but the wierd thing is that the xt default clock speeds where now mine extactly 519/542, do i tryed to reflash and it wouldn't let me. some error came up and i can't go back to the orginal BIOS bin file.

is this normal. i didn't hear about it anywhere in the posts or guides.

you have a pci-e x800pro and you tried to flash to xt and it didnt work right? Make sure its a VIVO card. Also, try a diff bios maybe. I think there are more than one.

Umm did you use the bios from the sticky?? If so thats a AGP version bios, not PCI-E! Your lucky the card works.

oh sh*t! for real? i didn't notice them saying that in the sticky

There are bios's for the PCI-E card. Its mentioned somewhere in the thread if not mistaken. Also if you don't have a VIVO card, your chances of it unlocking are considerably low. Also make sure your card can handle XTPE speeds prior to flashing.

Also if its not a VIVO you might need to volt mod for it to work possibably. XTPE cards run 1.4V core, vivo cards run 1.4V core, pro cards run 1.3V core.

[overclucker]

any idea where it is? and also i tryed to go back to the orginal bios and it failed, so do you really think it will reflash to the right PCI-E xt conversion BIOS?
