I’m not sure if it already exists here.

I tested it and it works fine with the CH341A SPI Programmer in Windows 10 64bit.

@st1cky - Thanks! Does this support " -p Internal"
@superb123 asked about that here - [Guide] How to flash a modded AMI UEFI BIOS (53)

Unfortunately it doesn’t look like it.

You can specify one of -h, -R, -L, -E, -r, -w, -v or no operation.
If no operation is specified, flashrom will only probe for flash chips.

Thanks Can you rebuild one with the files he mentioned on the page I linked?
* Edit - Ohh, maybe not, maybe it’s only possible with DOS?

Yeah it looks like it was possible with flashrom 1.1.

On Intel ME enabled systems, internal flashing is allowed by default
 


I will check it out.

EDIT: If they removed the Code, maybe we can add it back. It was so exhausting to compile that Programm .

EDIT2: Actually maybe its working, i checked the makefile found this.

# For now we disable all PCI-based programmers on Windows/MinGW (no libpci).
ifeq ($(CONFIG_INTERNAL), yes)
UNSUPPORTED_FEATURES += CONFIG_INTERNAL=yes
else
override CONFIG_INTERNAL = no
endif
 
 


I think i need to switch 'UNSUPPORTED_FEATURES += CONFIG_INTERNAL=yes' to no. They have Disabled internal Flashing on Windows basis.
But could be, there will be some errors on compiling since there is no -> libpci Package for MinGW. Maybe thats why they have disabled it.

I will check it out.

Thanks for checking it out! Ohh yeah, I can imagine how exhausting that was to do, I once had to use backtrack for some router beta testing, it was a major pain to get it all setup and then use >> Linux is not for me!

If you can’t add back, maybe you can compile 1.1 version for superb123?

I need to reflash Lenovo Yoga NB BIOS after MB change. I met strange problem - notebook regards keyboard as big 102-keys with num pad, several keys don’t work. In DOS also. Unfortunately Winflash64 refuses to flash the same version BIOS. Option /sv (skip version check) is absent now. What can You advise? BIOS file and winflash64 are attached

I’ve been trying to post a new DOS version here but I can’t seem to. If you can give me the rights I’ll make a post.

You can post a link with a space character in it.

I posted my DOS version here.
