SECURE FLASH CHECK FAILED

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi!

I have an H110M-HDV and i have the same problem. My Bios/Uefi Version is 1.80. Today tried to update the Bios to 7.20 with the APP Shop (newest version installed). After the restart i get the Secure Flash Check Fail! message. I then tried to use internet flash utility within the Bios. But with the same result. Then i used instant flash with version 1.90 and 7.20 (i downloaded the istant flash files). But the same message again. I testet it with the usb drive in the front and backpanel ports (USB 3.0 and 2.0). I also tested this with the default setting of the Bios/Uefi.
What im doing wrong? Even the internet flash fails with this error message.

	Oh! Make sure you are downloading and using the Instant Flash file from Instant Flash within the BIOS. Now that I think of it, you may see that error if you're using Instant Flash but trying to load a DOS flashing file. Edited by wardog - 01 Jul 2017 at 7:40am

	I used to mod BIOSes, so I have to ask, regardless of what you say above .......... The only time I've seen that error is when trying to flash a modded BIOS that was done improperly? I suggest you re-download the 4.20 and check that the CRC is intact. So long as the CRC passes, extract the Instant Flash F288E6P4.20 file and retry.

	I have a Powerspec G312 with a fm2a88x extreme6+ motherboard on bios version 3.00B I have tried over and over again to update my BIOS to the latest version that I have downloaded from the official ASROCK website and it always says SECURE FLASH CHECK FAILED. I formatted my flash drive to FAT32, put the file on there and when I select it from instant flash it immediately gives me this error. I tried the internet flashing option, which for some reason only works on the European server, but gives me the same error. Apparently, the latest version of my BIOS is 4.20. I would like to get it up to date ASAP but I am clueless on what to do now. edit: I have also tried plugging the flash drive into the front ports and the back ports. No difference, same error.
