I wonder how many people here unlocked their cards successfully.
I have tried to unlock my gigabyte 6950 with a standard 6970 bios via the command prompt but it exits the process at around 50%.
As the forums are flooded I couldn't find any workaround for this.
Any suggestions?
cheers
I have found the solution...if anyone else runs into this prob, do the following:
1.) dont waste time on dos boot disks
2.) Follow these instructions, found here

For the people who need to unlockrom and fail at command line:
- Unpack the Winflash download onto your desktop in a folder called "winflash"
- Save the 6970 BIOS in your Winflash folder and name it unlock.bin
- Click Start Button
- Type "cmd"
- Right click the entry and select "Run as Administrator"
- Black command prompt windows opens
- Type "cd %USERPROFILE%\desktop\winflash"
- Type "atiwinflash -unlockrom 0" <-- the 0 means first adapter, if you have multiple cards, physically uninstall all but the one you want to flash
- Type "atiwinflash -f -p 0 unlock.bin"
- It should complete the flashing process with a message saying something with "verified".
It is somehow weird but the flashing was unsuccessful before I renamed the file to unlock.bin :crazy:
