    I have to add smth to that. I had to create phlash.ini in the same folder, where winphlash.exe is located. The content:
    Code:
    [UI]
    Advanced=1
    UpdateMode=3
    hideall=0
    [Main]
    FormatVersion=2
    UpdateFlags=910920
    UserFlags=910120
    UserMask=d121a4
    PSIFlags=20
    UserMode=ffffffff
    RetryCount=3
    UpdateMode=3
    ImageFile=R0112N0.WPH
    BackupFile=BIOS.BAK
    
    you have to replace ImageFile value with your one. This will force the command above to update BIOS, even a same version is already in BIOS.

    The background: looks like /spi command line option tells to winphlash, that it has to do an update in a different SONY way. Unfortunately, you cannot specified this option in Winphlash GUI: the custom command block is grayed out. The same time, i did not found the other ways to tell winphlash.exe to force a bios update, than as in Winphlash GUI in Advanced Settings (there is a checkbox 'Do not update the same version' or smth like that). So what i did: I have enabled the advanced settings, started Winphlash.exe without any options, checked and unchecked and selected all necessary options, click ok, click 'flash bios' to start a bios update - it's failed immediately because of 'broken image' -149. But it's okay - i wanted from Winphlash.exe to update phlash.ini! After that, i started again Winphlash.exe with "/spi /bbl /sd" options. The rest options was taken by Winphlash.exe from phlash.ini, including the setting, telling to update bios even the same version is there. Now the Toshiba SLIC is inside :)

    @ Busykid

    been trying to flash my fujitsu siemens amilo li1818 with the provided modded bios in this thread, but it seems that it doesn't work, allthough it was supposedly tested and working.

    i get following error when executing phlash16 :

    opening of file bios_slic.wph failed

    tried renaming to the original fileform, but same result.

    could u pls re-evaluate this modded bios if u can ?

    thnx

    Unless you give some reference to who this file was originally made, I have no clue of where to look....

    Did I make this for you or for someone else....

    When posting messages of a bios mod, give some reference to me....I have done over 1000 mods on this board and I don't remember all of them....in fact I try to forget....:):D
