Tried again with the HP-DOS-TOOL. Same result:

"The version of BIOS does not support this function!!"

Confused

Sure thing. Booted flawlessly two times from the USB pen, loaded the BIOS file copied to the stick and got that error message.

you might try to downgrade to bridge bios 3.5 first then down to 3.4 , could be that your past the bridge bios and its preventing you from downgrading using DOS. totally a guess here 

its been recommended to use Agesa 1.0.0.6  "3.40" for first gen ryzen cpu's.

Your assumption was correct. Downgraded from 4.50 to 3.50 first, then again down to 3.40. Afterwards I was able to flash via DOS all down to 3.10.

But guess what? The error is still there:

have you tried disabling CSM with the older bios? i think i seen that bios 4.6 had issues with nvidia cards and CSM.

another thought. is this only in the Boot selection screen? if so and its not all corrupted in every bios screen but only boot selections screen could be one of the ssd/hdd's as some funky boot stuff going on. maybe remove some drives 1 at a time. start with the oldest one. see if that changes

Tried disabling CSM in the 4.50 BIOS. With CSM disabled, I got no signal on my monitor. Had to remove the BIOS battery to get it working again.

Will try with the 3.10 BIOS however.

Don't have a NVIDIA card, got a Sapphire Fury Tri-X.

Update:

Disabling CSM in 3.10 yields the same result: it simply stops my pc from booting properly. No signal on Monitor, keyboard and mouse not illuminated.

Now for the storage. I got two SSDs, one NVME SSD and one SATA SSD, both M.2.
Even if the problem is solved by removing the older one, what's the point? Not going to need the boot menu then anyway.
Could ofc install both systems on one SSD, but then I'll run short of storage ....

There must be a solution to this. I remember the F11 menu working back then, always thought it was a BIOS update that broke it, and since then waiting for another one to fix it.

true, even if it was narrowed down to a single drive i personally would not know where to go with that info, i am out of my element so to speak. 

maybe someone would know if they are some funky boot entry's  and how to remove them if its in say the MBR or UEFI boot whatever  on the drive.
