Hi everyone! I know this has been posted before but in my case I believe I have tried all of the suggestions and I still have no luck.
I have a B550 Phantom Gaming board and I'm running version 1.10. I'm trying to flash to 1.20. This is a brand new build with no OS yet (will be W10).
I downloaded the zip file from the ASRock website, unzipped, moved the bios file only (it is not a windows flash file) to a FAT32 formatted USB flash drive. I have tried doing this on both USB 2.0 and 3.0 slots, on the case, on the motherboard, nothing works. No matter what I do, it does not detect the file.
What am I missing here? Thanks!

The USB stick is freshly formatted and NOT bootable? The BIOS file is the only file in the root directory?

It is best to plug in the USB stick and restart the computer, otherwise the stick will not be found in the BIOS.

It is freshly formatted (FAT32) and not bootable. It is also the only file in the root directory. I have rebooted it with the drive installed many times in several different USB ports on on the system, that hasn't worked.
