EsotericUser You sure this bios flashed? Maybe WINUPTP.EXE ignore, same version which you will flash and current bios? Try this: Code: WinFlash64.exe /sd /wb /v /file your_bios.FL1
Give them a brake, it is Christmas eve ... I also wait for some help from this bios wizards, even though my problem is a bit different. Merry Christmas to all who celebrate!!!
How can I force bios upgrade? Program is saying the same version, an update is not necessary. Doesn't let me run the program. I am running through the windows folder below with WINUPTP as Admin. C:\Users\Vikunta\Downloads\Lenovo ThinkPad W520_1.42-(8BET62WW)-8buj21us__WL-2/modified Above is where the modified bios is located. Thank you very much.
launch cmd as admin cd to the folder location your WINUPTP.EXE (here must be also few exe like WinFlash32.exe, WinFlash64.exe, etc...) You need chose needed from this flasher (if your windows 32 bit use WinFlash32.exe, else use WinFlash64.exe) then launch "WinFlash64.exe /sd /wb /v /file your_bios.FL1" (where /v is verify, /sd not check current bios version, /wb reflash entire bios not only different parts, and /file path to your file) for me it look like: Code: WinFlash64.exe /sd /wb /v /file c:\bios_slic_patched.FL1 This command will flash bios even if your current version same! But also you need disable in bios some like "prevent bios downgrade" if it enabled.
