Motherboard [08/12/2024]ASRock DeskMini A/X300 BIOS /"P2.00.SL01"(Curve Optimizer & S3 support) & "P2.10" for X300 - AGESA ComboV2 PI "1.2.0.Cc"

[Feenschubser]

I test undervolt with A300 and it works:

AMD - UPDATE AsRock Deskmini A300: AGESAV2 Bios! Renoir sowie Probleme sowie Problemlösungen bei Hardware, Software, Bios Version: A300 3.60S / X300 1.70

--Der alte Beitrag hatte ich vor 1 oder 2 Monaten spekuliert ob der Deskmini A300 Renoir Kompatibel sein würden. -- -------------------------------------------- - Wer eine Renoir CPU sucht: Thread Renoir / Ryzen 4000 (CPUS) /und Deskmini ------------------------------------------- Sammlung...

You can flash 2.10 to A300.
The Key Error to Access tu UMAF is simple fix.
i dont youe Secure Boot btw

You enter UEFI and go to Security Tab and Secure Boot.
Now u see is enable and Boot Mode Standard

You set Secure Boot to Disabled
Secure Boot Mode to Custom
Boot Mode to Standard
And every Question you set yes.
A300 reboot :-)

A300 boot, you enter UEFI and Boot Mode is Disable and you can access UMAF.

For Crossflash i use Windows Tool and X300 1.60 and then i flash higher numbers.
A300 -> X300 1.60 -> X300 2.10
X300 2.10 -> disable TPM with UMAF -> X300 1.60 -> A300 3.60S

In the Windows tool you can set the Name in the ini
[ROM]
File=X3MSTX_1.80E

If you flash from X300 1.60 to A300 3.60S
you must rename the 3.60S from A to X if it not work.

Problem is that the A300 doesn't boot anymore (soft brick) after changes in BIOS with Renoir or Cezanne APUs, thus disabling Secure Boot to boot UMAF is not an option with BIOS 2.00 or 2.10, gotta fix the Secure Boot signatures somehow to be able to boot.

 

[Feenschubser]

You dont brick it.
You disable the Secure boot first.
After you change it from Standard to custom and then to Standard the A300 ask you reboot.
You say yes and the Secure Boot is Disable and you can use UMAF and Change Settings.

You only brick it if you safe it with F10.
But you dont need it.

 

[Feenschubser]

I dont use secure boot, but i can use UMAF.
if you need secure boot, you can disable it, make your settings with UMAF and activate it?

Does this UMAF problem with 2.10 Bios, only affect a300 that are flashed to x300, or native X300 aswell?

Again, it is NOT possible to save any BIOS setting with Renoir or Cezanne. As soon as you change anything incl. Secure Boot it won't boot anymore, only after you disconnect the battery (even Clear CMOS jumper does not help). Thus disabling Secure Boot on an A300 with Renoir or Cezanne (like my 5600G) does not work. That's the problem.

It's on the X300, too. But there you would just need UMAF to disable SoC/Uncore OC mode anyway (i.e. disabling Secure Boot works on the X300). But the issues regarding Curve Optimizer and Boost Overdrive exist on the X300 with P2.00 and P2.10 as well, thus I stick to my recommendation to use P1.90 for the time being.

And with 1.90 the x300 wont get bricked with UMAF, right?

Soft bricking is only an issue on the A300, and only while saving BIOS settings in the BIOS itself, with UMAF it works fine.
