    convert ipsw to bin for flashing ?

    is there a tool or a manual way to convert firmware downloaded as ipsw for a macbook into a 1 piece bin file that i can flash with my tl866 programmer ?

    the ipsw archive file seems to contain a lot of files

    thanks

    You can do it with the hex editor program. read and save the bios file first. Determine the start line with the hex editor program. Open the ipsw file with the hex editor and find the starting address. copy the file size (800,000 lines for 8mb) and save it as a new file. it needs to work

        Acer Aspire 5920G - Requesting Modded BIOS (9600M GT) from .WPH for CH341A Flasher
        by EbrahimSiami
        Hello everyone,
        I need help with my Acer Aspire 5920G laptop. Its original GeForce 8600M GT graphics card failed, so I replaced it with an Nvidia GeForce 9600M GT MXM card.

        **Problem:** The laptop powers on, but there is no display (black screen) on either the internal LCD or external monitor. This indicates a BIOS compatibility issue with the new graphics card.

        **What I have tried so far:**
        1. I have my **original stock BIOS dump (1MB .BIN file)** from my laptop, which works and allows the laptop to power on normally (but no display with 9600M...

        Elitebooks (820, 840 etc. all gens) and those continuously flashing Power LED + flashing CapsLock LED
        by STKR123
        As the Elitebooks (820, 840 all gens) only show flashing Power LED and flashing CapsLock (continuously) + a very soft "ticking" noise near the DC Jack,
        I wonder if re-flashing the BIOS might be of any use here.

        As far as I understood, steady flashing either means insufficient power or a CPU/GPU/Motherboard issue. I use the original 65watt power supply.

        There are so many threads out there, but most of the solutions involve flashing codes, which I dont have or claim that you MUST use the original power supply, do a hard reset, reseat the RAM, clean the RAM,...

        Lenovo ThinkStation P520 BIOS file needed
        by Forest79
        Hello,

        I got a Lenovo ThinkStation P520 (Type 30BF) from a friend, asking me for a repair. Windows 11 offered a firmware upgrade as an optional update, and it failed.
        The emergency flash procedure from the hardware manual has also failed. So, I asked an acquaintance with better skills to flash the BIOS directly.

        However, the chip (a Macronix MX25L25673GMI-08G) has a size of 32 MB, and the BIOS file from the Lenovo website (extracted with UEFITool) has a little more than 16 MB. Thus, the software my acquaintance used (SiberiaProg v1.45, with a CH341A Programmer)...

        ASUS TUF GAMING Z790-PLUS WIFI - BIOS Help
        by grimacelord
        Hello,

        I have spent the last hour on this and I guess this is just over my head, so here I am.

        I have an ASUS TUF GAMING Z790-PLUS WIFI motherboard here that needs to have the BIOS updated in order to accept the latest CPUs.

        The BIOS chips seem to come as a set of two: GD25B64ESIG and GD25B128ESIG. My guess is one of them is a fail-safe for the main BIOS? I really don't know. Or one of them is ME and other is BIOS? I don't know.

        Anyway, I took dumps of both chips and then downloaded the latest update for this motherboard from ASUS's website...
