    HD6950 unlock

    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

    Re: HD6950 unlock

    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
