Just be sure to read the instructions carefully. You won't have screen output, so you won't be able to see it's progress easily. So make sure you know what to expect and how long to wait.

Just to add make sure you use a decent USB stick. I battled my ass off before trying to flash the bios with only led feedback. Eventually I tried different USB sticks, by the 3rd one it worked.
 
So I opted for the ASUS A520 TUF Gaming

I saw a YouTube video stating that the USB drive must be MBR formatted and not GPT.

They were all mbr fat32 as per instructions, 2 simply would not work for flashing the bios.
 
I'm struggling to update my Asus A520 TUF Gaming II motherboard. It says Ryzen 5000 ready but it's not working with the 5500 out the box.

Must I do the update with a brand new memory stick?

Must I do the flashback update with no CPU installed?

What is happening? Could you get an old chip to flash it
 
Figured it out. Asus moved the BIOS update port to the bottom of the IO shield.
