New BIOS v1.30 for ASRock J5004-ITX and J4105-ITX motherboards for fix the HDMI 4K output

Thanks to the collaboration of one of our readers and the support of ASRock today we bring a new BIOS for the motherboards ASRock J5005-ITX and J4105-ITX with Intel Gemini Lake processors that we have recently analyzed. Two products with compatibility problems with the HDMI 2.0 video output with 4K resolutions in the release version, with this new BIOS these problems are corrected and the multi channel audio compatibility has also been improved as you can see in the updated review, we are still waiting for a solution about the PicoPSU incompatibility.

Considerations

  • Check if you have a older version of TXE firmware, if not you don’t need to make this procedure (see the final check step)
  • You need to flash the BIOS with this procedure to full update, don’t flash the firmware file directly

I can’t update my BIOS this way, following the instructions available at ASRock website I allway fail to clear the TXE chip, I unplugged everything short the TXE pins, but when I enter the BIOS screen the TXE version nr. is always there, for what I understand it should read n\a. After that if I try to update the BIOS using the exe.bat file in windows I get an “Error 451” message, saying that I don’t have write access.

You try to clrCMOS as we explain in the last step?
“If you get a N/A version flash then power off the system, short the clrCMOS jumper for 10 seconds
Remove the jumper short, restart the system with F2, Load default F9, Save F10
Reboot bios F2, check TXE version”
Make this and try again.

I have managed to do this BIOS update from BIOS only, via “instant flash” from USB stick. It works.

If works for you OK, but ASRock says:

“TXE version under BIOS will be read with correct TXE version, however, without shorting the TXE header, TXE options will not update thoroughly.
To update TXE completely, it will need to short the TXE pins combined with FPT tool.”
