How to flash a Dell Bios

[khilborn]

I've got a Dell Latitude E6420 that I want to flash so that I unlock a few things. I got the .BIN files from here: https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=41818

With those, how can I flash the bios? I'm not familiar with a tool that will allow me to flash it easily with bin files since the BIOS is Intel I believe.

A guide would be awesome

You wil need a programmer to do that, like Mini Pro or EZP 2010 of something similar.

There's not a programmatic way to flash the bios like a bios utility, or something similar to awdflash or uniflash for Intel?

I don't think Phoenix likes bin files or intel main boards.
When I try to do a backup it says: "Corrupted interface descriptors in the new BIOS file."
"Part Table Signature not found in the interface"

it works with bin files - i'v done it.
not sure about the Intel bit.
it could be something about the bios.

i'll go dig around.

Figured I'd give this post a bump before I go and start building USB boot disks and trying out a few things

One more bump since I haven't really gotten anywhere in the last couple of weeks
