tried clicking on the link here and it says "access to file is restricted".  

 

yes i see that. thats unfortunate. you can download the file i uploaded, unzip it to a folder. i also have attached a file fparts.zip which is a text document to make this usable you need to change the file extention from fparts.zip to fparts.txt ....drag and drop fparts.txt to the directory you unzipped fpt_windows64.zip and overwrite the fparts.txt file .... now open an elevated command prompt window and CD to where you unzipped the file.. ex: cd c:\windows\users\user\downloads\     ...... once you are in that location type  fptw64.exe -d BackupBiosy500.bin -bios    ....this will create your backup bios in the same directory you CD to..... it will be called backupbiosy500.bin (obviously)    congratulations you backed up your bios

What is it you're having issues with? I have done this to my y500 worked flawlessly.

Create a backup of your current BIOS using the flash tool you downloaded (first step) by runing the included backup.bat, or by using the Win or Dos version flash tool with this command:

 

I am on windows 10 have y400 with gt750m.  I am having trouble making a backup of my current bios.  I have downloaded everything but don't have the backup.bat , and when i run the win flash tool i just get Error 200: Invalid parameter value specified by user. Use -? option to see help.   When i run the fptw64 app screen comes up says press any key to continue twice and then closes and i get that error.. Any assistance would be much appreciated. 

I couldnt find the backup.bat file either go here and download http://rghost.net/56333188   when you run it , it will give you two backup files, the larger one will be your bios backup.

Here is the rules for new members. https://www.techinferno.com/index.php?/announcement/4-user-account-promotions-please-read/    However 6 bucks isnt much to unlock the files right away for such an amazing feature for these laptops.

Haha! Well, I've had this laptop for a while. I don't suppose waiting another week or so will make much of a difference. I applaud them for finding a new revenue stream. Unfortunately for them, I'm a bit of a tightwad. 

haha well perhaps they will acknowledge your honesty and let you download  I spend more on food everyday.

Just now, hbar98 said:

Well, I guess I'll start posting so I can download the files! Been meaning to do this for a while, seeing now that I have the wifi card from part of a pfsense box I was building that needs to be put to use, I need to get the files. Hope the mods smile down on me and let me download in a reasonable time!

saves time to just pay the 6 bucks

Okay so now I'm not able to flash the vbios for my ultrabay 650m. I go through will flashing completely, but when I reboot, it is still the same. I flashed it onto Index [1] since X doesn't exist

 

Edit: So after reading, I learned that people were having issues with getting 0.33 to flash over 0.3a on win 8.1. I having this same issue and was wondering if there is now a fix

My apologies, i didnt go through the Vbios flash i didnt care to do. Hopefully one of these other guys on here that have are as fast at replying as myself.

The largest file I got was insydeBAK.bin at 6mb is that correct?

there should be 2 files named the same thing. the bigger one is your bios

I actually contacted Zotac 4 different times and each time they said  Thank you for contacting ZOTAC Technical Support. Sorry, there were no shipment of "UEFI "VBIOS in this SKU [ ZT-60102-10P / GTX680-AMP ] , only "Legacy" VBIOS shipped.

No new "UEFI" VBIOS shall be generated for this SKU, since this card had EOL for a long time.

so i guess im just S.O.L.

is anyone on here still to allow me to download the files necessary to unlock my 2.04 bios to install a new wireless card?

I am unsure of your question. the files for download are up to date and valid for 2.04

I had the privilege of retrieving a Uefi compatible Vbios for the GTX 670 TI  P/N: 03G-P4-3663-KR . I have uploaded the file. Unzip and run the update.exe and it will start the process. enjoy  the contents came directly from EVGA.gtx670ti.zip

Looking for a UEFI vbios for GTX 680 AMP! edition  Model Number: ZT-60102-10P I have attached the version bios for this card in case someone can modify it in some way. GK104.rom

Is it just me or is backup.bat not included in these files or the ones in the FP (FPT_Windows64.zip)? 

 

 

EDIT: The file on the previous page was blocked by Chrome.

EDIT2: Just thought 'whatever' and tried Internet Explorer... and now my bios is flashed  Thanks guys!

Hi, here in Germany near Kassel the weather is about 1-2 degrees. I´m playing Grepolis to kill the time ;-)

you have me beat.. it is about 12 Farenheit here

nothing interesting really here, I live in minnesota and its fricken cold ...brr.. i like to skateboard but rarely get to cause it snows all the time, the town i live in doesnt have an indoor skatepark and the rules are strict so it kindof sucks anyways.. I am a clash of clans junkie  besides from that i basically spend time playing on my PC, and doing computer repair.
