itsmattgw Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I know this is an old thread but I wanted to give a heads up. I had had bios version A09 on my MX14R2 and tried to force flash it to a stock Dell bios A03 by downloading the A03 version from the Dell website, putting to a fat 32 formatted USB and then renaming it to m14R2.hdr. I plugged it in (left USB port) and held the end key then plugged in the AC adapter, got beeps for about 2-3 minutes then it sat on a black screen for over twenty minutes (I let it sit because I didn't want to shut it down). I knew it was toast when it was sitting there, I couldn't shut it of by holding the power button I had to open it up and unplug the battery and afterwards received no power whatsoever to the system, nothing. I got a motherboard replacement and that resolved the issue - not fun. I wouldn't recommend anyone trying to downgrade to an A03 from A09 because I'm pretty sure I did it just right and it failed.

r1roller70 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Has anyone tried this and verified that it works? I have tried other options, trying to get .fd file to flash and nothing seems to be working. I have no idea what to do next. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunteraz Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Hi svl7,where can i find the Downloads for your unlocked BIOS Version? at your first post i can only find the A03. but in the past i've already download the unlocked A11. thanks in advance and i would buy you a beer PS: actually i'm looking for unlocked A14 I don't think there is Unlocked A14, at least i haven't been able to find it. The latest one is A13 but it should work just fine, even with windows 10.

You can download already unlocked A13 bios from the first post of this thread: If you can't download, then just read the "User Account Promotion Rules": https://www.techinferno.com/index.php?/announcement/4-user-account-promotion-rules-read-before-posting/ Bios A16 can be unlocked also. You can post here or send me your file backup of bios in PM. For creating backup of bios you can use attached backup tool. Extract attached archive directly on the Desktop and run backup tool as Administrator (right click mouse, choice "Run as Administrator). Backup tool will create archive "results" directly on the Desktop. Post here or send me this archive "results" via PM, or upload it into any fileserver and send me the link. https://www.sendspace.com/file/mxoavw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
