Didn’t seem to work unfortunately, which was a bit of a long shot anyway I suppose.
Thanks
I wonder if the bios update is not taking because of the BMC version? Just a guess.
Unfortunately the BMC files a tried get rejected, despite being from asrock’s website.
Not sure why but I guess I’ll try them all again.

ASRock Rack > ROMED8-2T
Yes I got the bios file from asrock rack's website:
I am wondering if they changed the file and its not working as I can't seem to get it to take.
Thanks
unpack the zip, inside is the file.
also the BMC FW may too new to accept the old BIOS.
Cool, i think ill delete all the files and I downloaded and start fresh.
Could you elaborate and the BMC version as I tried to update the BMC with every version on Asrock's website and got an successful error every time.
Which version I should choose perhaps or where I could acquire and alternative copy.
Thank you
No idea why this happens, the file is from Asrock's website.
This is the reason I was hoping I could get someone to upload their file so I can see.
On Asrocks website it says to use instant flash to update the bios. I doubt this is possible when I can't post, if I can't post, I can't get to the bios, and therefore cannot use instant flash.
But someone on this forum clearly downgraded the bios using IPMI so I don't know.

That was my plan but I cant find one to borrow and and don't have enough capital to buy one and return it (student life).
I'm going to try and flash the bios chip using a USB flashing tool, I know an electronics store that might have one.
you can also buy one with 'your file' flashed. there are some ebay sellers around US and EU(NL)
I took a short look but I only found one and I would probably have to message the seller and ask for a custom version, and also they didn't ship to South Africa.
Ill do some more looking when I get a chance.
Thanks
Do you think that If i either bought a bios chip pre-flashed or have mine flashed do you think it would cause problems with the BMC version?
If indeed the BMC version is preventing a bios downgrade could this sudden bios change cause issues?
Or would the system interpret it the same way it would if the bios was simply downgraded?
the new BMC FW have other flash code not knowing the old BIOS. the whole BIOS chip is NOT just complete overwritten, there are pages have must be unchanged.
So if I try to use a USB bios programmer this could overwrite content that should not be over written?
I was unable to locate a bios chip that ships to South Africa that is for the ROMED8-2T on eBay.
I might not be using the correct keywords though.
Do you have any listings in mind that you could refer me to?
in this case the BIOS must be in flashable state, not initialized, works in ASRock afaik.
the programmer overwrites all - you may loose some MAC addresses, no BIOS update code(Afu/IPMI) writes the whole chip,
remaining pages are unknown to the new BM FW flasher code, and overwrites the wrong page/left other unchanged that holds new code.
you need just a chip for board with similar chip (256mbit soic16 300mil) and tell the seller the link of the bios file.
