So this can be done. I had to do it today on my T420 which, FYI,  is Linux box.

I made a bootable DOS flash drive. In my case a 2GB thumb drive. I used an HP tool from within a Windows 7 VM (VirtualBox). However you can clearly download an image from the Internet if you want.

Using Linux:-

I extracted the content of the BIOS ISO file (83uj28us.iso) from Lenovo containing the 1.46 BIOS and placed the BIOS file:-

83ET76WW/$01C8000.FL1 on the flash drive along with:-

PFLASH.exe and
EFILDR16

both from the same ISO file.

Remove any AUTOEXEC.BAT from the Flash Drive:

Reboot the T420 and make it boot from the Flash Drive.

Run:-

PFLASH /sv /sd $01C8000.FL1

I actually renamed the file to BIOS.WPH but I do not know if that is necessary.
I believe these are the options I used. Basically PFLASH had to be told to ignore the warnings.
Use PFLASH /? to get help.

However, my machine did downgrade from 1.48 to 1.46. It can be done.

The T420 is a Linux box. To extract the ISO I used:-

geteltorito  bios83uj28us.img 83uj28us.iso
fdisk -lu bios83uj28us.img
losetup -o 16384 /dev/loop0 bios83uj27us.img
mount /dev/loop0 /mnt/t1
etc etc.

You can find details of all of this on the Internet.
I think I have the names of the iso files correct. Check yourself.
