In short, I missed the BIOS update for the older generation and installed the BIOS for the Ryzen 5000 series instead. The update has been applied and now only supports that CPU line. There seems to be no way to revert the BIOS without a Ryzen 5000 chip. My Ryzen 2000 and 3000 models didn’t work either, and clearing CMOS didn’t help. Thanks.

You should look for a CPU compatible with every BIOS version. The Athlon 200ge is a good option that works across all revisions. You might also consider Q Flash Plus, using flash storage only with the EPS and 24-pin power connections.

Sorry to hear that Q Flash Plus isn't compatible with this board. I've contacted Gigabyte and AMD in hopes they can provide a fix.

I own the Gigabyte B450 Aorus M and have recently upgraded to f60e on my 1600. It works fine with my first-gen CPU. Now it shows as F60f, but there’s no indication it stops supporting older CPUs. Typically this is highlighted in bold red text. If support was indeed removed, that would be a poor design choice. If I updated the BIOS just a few days ago, I’d be in trouble.

I don't believe it would drop the 3000 series even to back up 5k. Typically it's older first-gen components like A-series chips before G chips were used for integrated video. This also doesn't indicate any loss of support. It applies to AGESA, which 3000 series users would prefer. I think your flash failed. Only two are listed here and none mention CPU support loss. In contrast another Gigabyte board does remove support.

It's likely you see the BIOS menu but don't reach it, and you're stuck in the BIOS or unable to start it.

I managed to make the BIOS revert on its own. I took everything out and unplugged it, then put back the CPU and a single RAM stick before letting it attempt boot. The LED debug lights spun for a while then stopped and the BIOS displayed a message, indicating an older version F50 worked. After reinstalling and flashing the BIOS to F52, it seems to be functioning properly now.
