Question Can't flash BIOS from P4.60 to P5.70, ASRock ab350 Pro 4

[Zdos123]

Hi,
I am unable to update from P4.60 to P5.70 via instant flash, i download the bios file extract it then put it on a fat32 formatted USB drive, restart the computer, enter into the bios, navigate to the instant flash section press enter, it pops up with the BIOS file for a split second then says it can't detect a file, do you have any ideas what i could do to try and get this working.
Thanks,
Gabriel John Caddy

Is the BIOS file named using 8.3 convention?
If not rename it to something like p570.rom and try again.

Reason might be in the description:

1. Support new Athlon 2xxGE series APU.
2. Update AMD AGESA to 0.0.7.2

• Please install "AMD all in 1 with VGA driver ver:18.50.16.01_WHQL" or a later version before updating to this BIOS.
• If you updated the BIOS before updating the AMD all in one driver, please refer to the Display recovery SOP to recover your system.

* If the current BIOS version is older than P5.40, please update BIOS to P5.40(PinnaclePI-AM4_1.0.0.6) before updating this version.
* User will not able to flash previous BIOS once upgrading to this BIOS version.
