At hardware1, I'm in need of what I think will be a little help with this same bios. I noticed that the difference between your files and the OP's file is placement (and size) of the Padding after EfiFirmwareFileSystem2Guid. When I did an FPT bios backup, for whatever reason, FPT didn't create a Padding file, and I think this is the issue. When I flash the attached, the computer lights up without any nasty blinkings, but will not post.
The attached is a slightly modded bios - I used UBU. The size is exactly the same, and the original gives me the exact same result. Can you check this, add the Padding, and if you have the time, let me know how you add padding? I'm assuming you're doing this using a HEX editor.
Many thanks. If you want me to post the original bios, no problem. Thanks again.
Edit last post: The OP's file and my file contains E34AEDB0-BB97-49BC-B139-1E419B3560E2 after EfiFirmwareFileSystem2Guid under the BIOS region. At hardware1's files do not. They just contain the Padding after EfiFirmwareFileSystem2Guid.
Edit: FF FF FF etc. inserted for Address FF691000h in a HEX editor gets rid of E34AEDB0-BB97-49BC-B139-1E419B3560E2 and creates the Padding. Making progress. Now onto hardware1's AmiNvramBackupRomAreaGuid.vol modification - missed that at first. This is a trickier modification.
hardware1, modifying my own created by FPT was a bridge too far - there were more changes than I originally considered. For instance, there were many NVRAM changes under AmiNvramMainRomAreaGuid that were different. So I UBU modified both the Dell Vostro 3670 (V_2.26) (Name1).bin and Dell Vostro 3670 (V_2.26) (Name2).bin, and (Name2).bin is the one that worked. Flashing Name1 didn't work.
If both UBU modified bios' failed, I would have tried your originals, but UBU modified (Name2).bin worked. Many thanks for working on this
