Hi everyone :)

 

I'm struggling with flashing my Radeons to see Apple Logo :(

 

At beginning I want to say I successfully managed to flash XFX 6870 (to see Apple boot logo) so I thought I know what I'm doing :)  

 

At this moment I ended up with working Sapphire Vapor-X 5770 and Vapor-X 5850 - in macOS they are displayed as 5770 and 5870 (5870 because I flashed it with 5870 ROM as there is no 5850 ROM) - but anywhere there is no Apple Logo :( I've tried all display ports and HDMI.

 

Everything I was doing with one Mac Pro 2008 with 2 HDD - one with Windows other with El Capitan (to avoid problem with choosing boot choose as no "Apple Logo")

 

The only one crazy thing what comes to my mind why they not showing boot logo is that - I dumped BIOS without Windows drives - but cannot believe it that.

 

Everywhere I dumped BIOS with GPU-z

 

Then in El Capitan copied paste those lines and "python" fix - then "cooked" BIOS installed by WinATI (not DOS ATI) - I remember in 6870 I was doing everything with DOS ATI - but again - I cannot believe that should do a difference.

 

I'm losing options what to do - SMC Reset? Not working :(

 

Please help :(

Just want to add - that successfully flashed XFX 6870 was done along with Apple's Radeon 2600XT - those 5770 and 5850 where done just with them - but again - cannot believe that should be problem.

 

And another thing I forgot to add to help - in GPU-z everywhere UEFI is "ticked".

 

Basically everything looks like it should - even searching that "MCuC" showed me 2 results - which is fine - but there is no Apple Boot Logo in those 2 different cards :(

      It’s amusing how Microsoft is pushing IT admins as if this was a major, game-changing update. In reality, it’s just an enablement package that bumps the build number, which is disappointing compared to the more substantial 22H2 and 24H2 releases. Technically, 25H2, 26H1, and the upcoming 26H2 are essentially the same, differing only in support schedules. They could have included the Windows K2 improvements here, but chose not to. The era of Windows being in the backburner continues, and this 26H2 release feels like an afterthought. Shame, Nadella, shame.

      Microsoft, totally not confusing /s 25H2 - Current for non-Arm based Windows 26H1 - Current for Arm based Windows 26H2 - Only for non Arm Windows
    • Windows 11 version 26H2 is now available for testing in the latest preview build

      After I installed those, my older but capable Win 11 laptop (16GB RAM) reported it as 26H2 26300.8697. Then I installed it on my big laptop (128GB RAM! Hehe sorry), it reported it as 25H2 26220.8690. Ugh. Do I have to switch Insiders channels from Release to Beta?
