MSI B550 Pro VDH Wifi BIOS Button USB Flash Guide. Helping with the USB flashback button

RECOMMENDED USB DRIVE

To use the BIOS flash back button on this motherboard you will need the following
Bare motherboard
USB Memory stick (ideally around 8GB and USB 2.0)
A PC PSU with 24 pin main connection and 8 pin (4+4) CPU power
And a device to access the Internet to download and transfer the BIOS files.

Files can be found here

Format the USB stick to FAT32 and remove any volume label or description, also use the default file allocation size.
Then unzip or extract the compressed downloaded file
copy the BIOS file only to the USB stick
connect up the PSU to the motherboard
insert the USB into the board and press the flashback button
wait for the solid red LED at the end of the flash and then for the light to go out
turn off PSU and rebuild system or test the CPU and components on a makeshift workbench to confirm the flash has worked and the components are all working.

You literally saved my life! I bought this same mobo and couldn't get it to work, it was showing errors on ez debug led and couldn't even start the bios... After going through the steps and flashing, it booted up my Ryzen 5 5600x. Thank you so much!!!

[benolinquimpo]

YOU SAVED MY LIFE! Ironic, I watched this video months before actually needing to follow the procedures in this video but the day has come that it’s handy to me. Moral lesson: NEVER use dragon center to update the BIOS.

[reppost]

7 months later, still helping people... had to do it today for a build I'm doing for my daughter. Thanks!

[metrovalleyeats]

Saying this again for anyone who might still be having trouble. If the flash drive is over 32gb it wont be able to use fat32 HOWEVER there are ways to reformat your usb and that worked for me!

[mikesunboxing]

Thanks Mike lol - Can't believe i just had to use this video myself to check which USB port to use 😂😂

[kablamoo]

i didnt know that i needed to do a flashback update to my bios so i was sitting there confused why i had no display, a friend of mine told me to doa flashback but the usb i used was faulty and when you mentioned that in this video, it clicked and now i have visuals!! thank you so much for the help!

"Can you do it with components attached?"

MSI B550M Mortar Wifi, 5900x, RAM... Pc fully built: bios flashing worked just fine via usb using the flash bios button, I can confirm.

Great guide, first time pc builder here and I wanted to update My bios to support my CPU before everything Else came. first USB I tried didn’t work (it is a crappy 250mb one lol) second one I tried was 4gb and worked like so In the video. Thanks 👍🏻

Will update after my build’s finished

[Teetseremoonia]

I had a failed bios update and had to flash it from a usb. Worked nicely and I didn't have to remove any components. Thank you!

[TheBreezeShoot]

Thank you. This was so clear and it was literally exactly what I needed, even down to the specific motherboard. I bought a Ryzen 7 5700x and this mobo and it needed a bios update to run the 3060 that I was switching onto it. Yo're a lifesaver. Please never take this video down as I will be referring people here.

[aptincho]

Excelente explicación, compre un Ryzen 5600G y no encendía, segui los paso y anduvo de maravilla. GRACIAS

[txcam]

Thank you so much! I'm trying to building my first PC, and this video helped out a ton. The first USB drive I tried didn't work, but after I tried a different one it all updated smoothly. Thank you!

[nicolarre]

It worked. Many thanks. Btw I did it with the processor and 1 ram stick on the motherboard and appears to not be an issue on this particular motherboard. It also did not do the long flash at the end, it simply restarted the PC

[jasonbrown]

Great Video. Best takeaways were 1) where bios flash button was. 2) power connectors, and which usb to use. 3)time and LED lights. Great video, very informational!

[domenicopucci]

Thanks a lot, just updated this card a few hours ago and all went fine, really useful.
i was expecting it wont work since my psu only has the 4 pins thing instead of 8 for the cpu_power but it works great so far

[jayroy]

Thanka alot for the detailed instructions, it was really scary process as it's expensive components. You made my day more happy as I'm building my 1st PC on my own.

[JahonCross]

This is my first time building a gaming pc, so this is a big help since I'm picking up this motherboard

[Boosher_]

think i might get one pre flashed just to reduce pain

[THELASTWORKINGTOILETOFINDIA]

I used an external HDD instead of an USB and it worked. Thank you Mike.
