Odds are, at this point anyway, you'll need a pre-flashed BIOS chip to install.

ASRock sells them:

And although you're in Spain, BIOS Depot on eBay is a reputable Seller I've used numerous times. If they don't have a listing for your motherboard use the "Contact Seller" link and they'll return your email promptly with a link to a Buy it Now page they'll create especially for you.

You'd be messing with fire to try that.

Meh, you performed a bad flash. Best just to eat that bullet and buy one.

Unplug the computer from the wall, remove the CMOS battery. jumper the CLRCMOS to the clear pos, press and hold the cases Power button for 10 seconds, insert the chip.

It would be best upon first boot to go into the BIOS and Reset to UEFI Defaults once, first.

Hint, NEVER flash a BIOS from within or while running Windows.

With ASRock MB's always use the safest and nearly disaster-proof Instant Flash means and file.
