My problem is is I have no way to get to that point without a compatible modelÄoes anyone know of rom floating around out there either based on the nw200 series or nw100 series? rom file can be obtained through the windows temp folder (but only after the self installer gets to a certain point). rom file through an unzipping program, and I'm also aware that the. I am aware that these new updates do not have the ability to extract the. rom file from the update for an nw100 series laptop which is available at sony's website (I can't post a link till I've posted 20 or greater posts, sorry) There is however a bios update for the nw100 series. Obviously their are no bios updates for any of the nw200 series models. I have been doing a ton of reading and this post is very helpful, However I am in need of some further help. Will provide files later if needed as they are on the other computer. Hope this workaround will guide some of our members to do further reserach and more insights will come in. So my next step was to rename my back up (from winphlash) "BIOS.BAK" TO "BIOS.WPH" and use this in the Phoenix tool to add slic 2.1. VGN-FZ and VGN-NR series have no official bios updates! It seems like platform data is not bios specific but general and the same across closely related bioses. Note: Was also able to back up my bios(R1101J9) with winphlash using downloaded modded bios from VGN-fz series (R0050J7, R1120J7, R2110J7). THAT'S THE KEY! Remember to run program as admin and choose "Backup BIOS Only". This is a mirror of your current bios and has the platform data. Your GOAL is to find a bios close enough to cause the winphlash program to generate a "BIOS.BAK". You do not need the original bios to do this as in my case. Back ups "successfully" made with Winphlash(BIOS.BAK) = Has platform data flashable! Back ups made with "Univeral Bios BackUp toolkit" = No platform data hence can not be flashed On a hunch, i figured the difference in size from the one generated using "Universal Back Up Tool kit" may be the missing "Platform Data" that is required to flash it. I Checked the file size and it came to 1027kb. Winphlash generated a "BIOS.BAK" in the same folder. Then, i tried to back up using Winphlash but, as everyone who tried before have found out, it needs a copy of the original bios which i don't have! So, i used the R1150J9 since it's the closest one i found. First, i backed up my bios(R1101J9) using "Univeral Bios Back up Toolkit". I have a vaio vgn-nr series (bios R1101J9) with intel GMA(x3100)and was able to download an unofficial modded bios R1150J9 also for a vgn-nr series(nvidia chipset). Unofficial "modded"(downloaded from other sites) Bios: Official(from sony download) closely related to the one you have or:
