    When Flashing BIOS goes wrong,IMEI error code 10

    Daamn...
    I wanted to updat BIOS on my laptop.
    I downloaded latest BIOS for this model which is UX31A and put it onto pendrive, ran START EASY FLASH and selected the BIOS version which was version 216 (downloaded from Asus website for this model).
    After update has finished (erased previous BIOS and flashed) I got following message (pic below).
    I could not boot the Windows 7 after that,so I had to reinstall OS and then after all drivers installed I get error code 10 in IMEI,which I was told is because of a "corrupted" BIOS flash.
    Laptop works okay but a lot slower then before the flash,kinda it's like is needing more RAM.
    I noticed it doesn't wake up from sleep,it reboots which is because of this failure.
    So what would be best option except removing BIOS chip and flashing with external programator?
    I downloaded every possible driver for IMEI for W7,no luck, because I suppose now it is hardware failure.

    X270 - Bios flashing help
    by Timeeez
    Hello everyone,

    I am still a beginner and want to learn more about flashing bios. First of all, thank you very much for the tutorials made on this forum it helps a lot.

    Lets get straight to the point. When I try to flash the bios of my Lenovo X270 it restarts several times and always returns to the bios that was there at the beginning. When I get the bios from someone on the forum and write it to the bios chip, I always have the same serial numbers. I have the feeling that the pc is reflashing itself. Where could this come from? How to avoid this problem?

    [REQUEST] Dell G3 3579 BIOS Password & AMI Protected Range/BIOS Guard Unlock
    by zenius
    Hello, I have an old Dell G3 3579 (ST: 2WQ7LP2-8FC8) with a newer 8FC8 BIOS password. I have successfully attached to the flash chip (W25Q128JVSQ) on the motherboard with a CH341A programmer and made several modifications using Intel FIT (e.g., allow software SPI write) without bricking. I was also able to boot to a modified GRUB shell where I attempted to edit many BIOS security related options like BIOS Guard/Lock, Flash Signature Override, ME FW Image Re-Flash, etc.

    Unfortunately, some of these modifications like to Intel BIOS Guard failed because it is fused into the PCH. Also,...

    Flashing ASUS UX51VZ with correct bios
    by Flyview
    Hi!

    Happy to be part of this forum for my first post!

    Short story:
    I believe my dad's UX51VZ has an incorrect bios (v207) for a UX51VZH flashed onto it. I'm not quite sure what the differences are between UX51VZ, UX51VZA, and UX51VZH. The serial number of this machine is D5N0CY845932229 and comes up as a "UX51VZ-DB103P" when checked on this ASUS website. All of the bioses can be found at this ASUS website.

    1) Do I have the correct bios or should it be the v205 for UX51VZ? Is there something I can check inside the machine to make sure?

    [HELP] G712LWS BIOS capsule
    by TraJikar Mac
    I need someone that can capsulate one of the bios files below, and i prefer the older bios version so i can flash it using CH341A tool into the bios chip.
    The manufacturer BIOS files are bigger than the BIOSbackup1.bin files by 256KB and I don't know how to fix or recompile it.

    You can see in this link a conversation between me and other people (Starting at page 10) who tried to help me (thanks to their efforts), but i still couldn't fix it and the laptop is considered as dead until now.

    Also, I uploaded a backup file for the bios that I extracted by using CH341A...
