HIS IcedQ 4+ HD 4870 Flash Help

Dude, if you want help you need to be a little more articulate.

Have you flashed it with ROM I wrote?

WHy were you monkeying with Linux when it needs to be flashed in DOS or Windows?

WHat ROM is on it now?
 
i flashed it with your rom. nothing happened. i read to make a boot disk with ultra boot. did what that said and rebooted to cd...and thats the error that shows up. all my mac see's is the 7300 card, but windows see's both. i didnt monkey with nothin.

i get this everytime i try to boot off boot cd.

now what do we do?

Here is what I mean by needing to be "more articulate" when asking for help.

What is "working now"?

The 4870?

The BootCD?

Your toaster?

If you can not be bothered to type a few extra words to explain your situation, why should we bother to type anything to help?

Good luck. I hope the card works out for you.

Reading the last page and a half of posts I think my severity was more than justified..... ;)

Hello this is MacRumors:forums. I think you may be trying to access your twitter account instead.

The Rominator is right. It is impossible to provide a solution to an issue anyone is having if we are not presented with all the facts. You know what you are doing (well debatable) but we do not, and therefore you have to clearly outline the steps you are taking, especially when what your doing is not working.
 
ha. your right. the card works now. i used the ati flash tool. i followed the ati directions from here: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/713428/. Itried them both yesterday but i must have done something out of order. I redid it this morning and sure enough the card showed up in the mac. It only has one DVI port so i dont know if the VGA or the HMDI port work yet. The ROM from the Rominator works. I will keep you up to date and do my part to help also. Oh, my toaster works as well.
 
thank you for taking the time to tell me that im not worth your time MacRumorUser.
 
but if all else, people can now flash a ICEQ 4+ HD 4870. If it was easy i wouldnt have needed help. Now, who wants to help me with an external raid?
 
ok, funny thing. i have assasins creed for mac on my macbook pro and i can see all the graphics..not the best but they show. when i go to play it on my mac pro with the new videocard in all i get is a white screen. i can hear the sound but just a whie screen. anybody got an idea?
 
you're using a cider port with a wrapper, they dont work well with ati cards
