Guest

Recommended Posts

Manufacturer: Lenovo

Model: E530 NZQMAMB

Bios Type: Phoenix SecureCore Tiano

BIOS Version: H0ET70WW (2.04)

I'm trying to flash a modified bios H0ET70WW (2.04) using fpt.

I already tried to disable the Error 28 using prr but it doesn't work.

Error 25: The host CPU does not have write access to the target flash area. To enable write access for this operation you must modify the descriptor settings to give host access to this region.

modifie the descriptor settings is also not possible as far as I know because it's read-only so to change and upload make no sense.

So what can I try next?

I'm still a noob.
