    Anybody has suceeded in geting ROM or WPH from Acer TM4720 bios v1.33?
    The bios came as an exe (Bwa-1.33.exe) and supposed to be run in windows.
    The exe can not be extracted using 7zip, winRar, or Uniextract. How do I can extract ROM or WPH from inside it?
    I might try to add SLIC-2.1 if possible.
    I've search high and low but could not find any hints that I can try. Any help is appreciated

    Thanks for such fast respons! Actually I already tried the first option, and the tool really resulted the new slic'ed exe.
    Bur I did not have the gut to try to flash it yet, because I think if something happen I will still need the WPH/ROM to use in recovery process. After you direct me that it was the right thing, I just tried and it flash with a flashing color:clap:
    Thank you very much.
