      Re: how to extract exe file

      it depends of format of exe file or compression implemented
      (sometimes file have overlay, sometimes compressed exe in resources, etc...)

      this is inno scripted setup module which has specific compression

      you can use this tool to unpack

      Code:
      http://sourceforge.net/projects/innounp/files/
      anyways here is upacked files

      but bios extracted is uefi capsule file, not plain bin or rom so it cannot be flashed bu itself it need more work

      good luck

                  Use the latest version of innoextract .

                  https://constexpr.org/innoextract/fi....8-windows.zip

                  Usage

                  To extract a setup file to the current directory run:

                  innoextract <file>

                  The extracted files will go into the app folder. Delete that app folder before you use innoextract again with another bios.

                      Re: how to extract lenovo bios exe file

                      After using innoextract you will get an exe file in the "app" folder. This can be expanded with 7zip. Within the resulting files is one .ROM that contains the binary. Just edit it with an hexdecimal editor and remove the header and the final part.
                      Also open with the editor the original dump file to recognize the header (usually 5A A5 F0) and look for it inside the .rom. The bios image starts one line before this header, and ends 8MB after (or 16, depending on sizeof the bios). You can select the entire image (80000(H)), cut it , and paste on a new file. Save this as Biosxxxx.bin and That's all!
                      Sorry my bad english, and thank you Google translator!

                        Sorry. The size for 8MB bios is 800000(h).

                          Re: how to extract lenovo bios exe file

                          Hey guys.
                          Could anyone please help me extract the bin file from this bios, for Lenovo V110-15IAP ?
                          I tried using innoextract , but I got got a .cap file and a .bin file, but the bin file is too small I think, the .cap file on the other hand seems to be around the proper size, 9MB or so.
                          The problem is that if I try to use the .cap file with CH341A it gives an error "file length beyond range will be ignored". I even tried converting the .cap file to .bin, but it gives the same error.

                            The cap file is what you need to make your bios , as ala borbe say ( post 3) : but bios extracted is uefi capsule file, not plain bin or rom so it cannot be flashed bu itself it need more work.

                            so you need a HxD and your old dump to create your bios , maybe this tutorial help you :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qESTVi_DVg&t=150s.

                              You need to use a hex editor to make the bios the correct size.The smaller file is an EC update,ignore that.
                              The 1MCN54WW.cap CAP header length is 318 ,select block 0-317 delete it.Then select block 0-7FFFFF ,(or length 800000) ,copy it into a new file and save it.Find your old DMI info in your old bios backup,if you have one, and copy it to the new bios.If you do have a bios backup post it in a new thread if you get stuck.

                                        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)...

                                        Bricked Lenovo IdeaPad 3 14ADA05 Need BIOS file for FN+R Crisis recovery

                                        Model: Lenovo IdeaPad 3 14ADA05 81W0
                                        S/N: PF2BZS7D

                                        I was having issues with this particular laptop where the NVME SSD would disappear and would not detect unless I took it out and reconnected it, then it would detect for only for a minute then disappear from BIOS. I figured updating the BIOS was worth a try so I booted into my HBCD USB and downloaded the latest BIOS file for that exact model. I ran the executable and everything went smooth, it beeped and then when it restarted, now it won't post, just black screen with fan spinning.

                                        I already have a CH341A programmer...

                                        Request for Lenovo 5-15IMH05H Type 81Y6 BIOS bin file
                                        by maanee11
                                        Hello Everyone,

                                        I have Lenovo Legion 5-15IMH05H (Lenovo) - Type 81Y6

                                        and I have encountered a Black screen on startup. I have tried the power drain and all sorts of tricks that were available online to revive it but no joy.

                                        Since I have already an expired warranty, I am thinking of flashing the BIOS externally. I have a Ch341A SPI flasher to program the BIOS externally. I see that to program the BIOS, I need a bin file for the BIOS. The latest BIOS executable can be found here but I need the bin file to flash it externally.
