insideflash (sony) dosent work (says incompatible) flas**t x.rom or flas**t x.rom /all returns "error ihisi 10h fail, internal error ef function not supported" x.rom is what i renamed the rom file in the zip. BTW bios list (c)2007 American Megatrends Inc. (was there insyde bios then?) thanks so much!
It may be the AMI type UEFI bios. I modified it with insyde tools. Is there a flasher with the bios download?? Maybe an afudos???
No, there's no bios file on the sony website, so I followed the advice above to extract the bios with universal bios extractor. Should I try flashing via AFUDOS? Even though you used insyde tools?
You need to find out how the bios flashes. There is a sony tool for you. you need to find it. Are you sure it wasnt in the archive with the bios?? If this is a backup, it may never flash without an EEPROM programmer.
The problem is....we dont know which tools are the right ones yet.. We have one more success though...
The SLP is only used for activating Win XP. It is NOT necessary to activate Win 7. How did you flash that BIOS ? Did you flash from DOS as recommended everywhere on this forum ? If you did flash from DOS you may simply need to use different switches in AFUDOS to get it to properly flash.
