The tool reported lack of privileges, so the file archive is almost empty. Run the tool again, but with administer rights, and make sure the output file is at least a few megabytes in size.

Hello,

I've executed it again with right click and admin privileges, acepted the warning that showed up, but I got the same file (136KB size)... so it does not seem a permissions issue...

Is any other way to execute that tools manually or something?


Thanks

Yes, you can find out the version of Intel Management Engine using the HWiNFO program, and select the appropriate flash programming tool based on it.

I've executed HWiNFO program and my Intel ME is 10.0 so I've downloaded that tool, but after extracting it, there is a lot of folders and I don't know which tool should I exactly execute and with which command.

Can you provide me that information please?

@bone5559 Once downloaded, inside you will find Flash Programming Tool folder, and inside that a Windows or Win/Win32 folder. Select that Win folder, hold shift and press right click, choose open command window here (Not power shell). At the command prompt type the following command and send me or Maxinator500 the created file to modify >> FPTw.exe -bios -d biosreg.bin

The BIOS was read ok. Do you know how your Toshiba S50 got the BIOS from the S55?
Modification is still possible.
And, oh...

At the command prompt type the following command and send me

Would you like to do this for him instead of me, loopdee? You're welcome.

Hello,

No, I didn't, I've just downloaded a few years ago from the webpage... it should be the same as this one: https://support1.support.emea.dynabook.c...095705.zip

Can you confirm if it's the same or not?

Thanks.

They are different.
