Howdy!
I'm trying to flash my XPS 15z over to a modded BIOS in order to gain access to a few more features, but haven't had any luck. Seeing as I run Linux, I booted to a freeDOS and tried flashing using Phlash16 with various options, but to no success. Finally after some digging, I found someone saying they had more luck using the Windows app. I installed Win7 to a spare SSD but received the same error message.
The guide I'm using is:
https://www.bios-mods.com/forum/Thread-U...-and-HOWTO
What I'm unsure of is if I'm supposed to mod my OWN BIOS, or if the files in his attachment can be for any XPS 15z (which is typical of any other BIOS mods I've done).
Here is the full error message:
Corrupted interface descriptors in the new BIOS file
Part Table Signature not found in the interface
Error code: -161
