I followed your instructions and tried within Windows and DOS. I have not used DOS for years. Brings back old memories!
Both gave the message error 252 : image file bios bin not found
Took a picture.

Did I do something wrong?
Also here is a back-up of my Bios. Appears Lenevo do not publish this for some reason 
Probably scare guys like you will hack it....

Thanks again for helping with this.
You're right as your Modded Bios has name "backnwl.bin" so your comand will be
FPTw -f backnmw.bin -bios
Let me know
regards
Hi
Changed the file name and it now tries to flash and comes back Error 28: protected range registers are currently set by Bios, present flash again. This is the ssame message as before. Tried in Windows and Dos.
Looks like Lenevo have really locked this down well....
Can you help again?
Thanks
Andy
Try from USB Dos Stick, rename modded bios as "bios.bin" :
1. Prr.exe
2. fpt -f bios.bin -bios
Let me know
regards
Hi
Renamed the file and I get exactly the same result. Same error again about the protected range... Have Lenovo beaten us? Not sure why this model of laptop is trickier that the rest.
Thanks again for your time and help.

I dont know if this helps. I rebooted my machine and selected F2 to get into the Bios menu. There is 1 option on there stating 'BIOS Back Flash'
option is Disabled by default. I have changes this to enabled but it did not seem to make any difference
Dont know if it is relevant?

Now I saw anoter Lenovo Laptop Z510 have same issue, It seems as Lenovo and all others manufacturers are going to hard protect bios memory Eeprom !
So what I said to others users buy an SPI External USB Programmer with POMONA Soic Clip and write Bios directly into chips !
I am sorry

Hi
No reason to be sorry I appreciate the time you spent on this. How much is it for an SPI programmer. Is it a complex procedure with the programmer? If they are not too expensive I may purchase one and then it could be used by the forum. Pass it around to help others.
Otherwise looks like the manufactures have won. Why are they going to so much trouble to lock these things down. All is a little bit fishy that they are trying to restrict what is in effect the part of the computer that communicates to the outside world....
Hallo,
sorry for my bad english at first...

Lenovo G700 Whitelist Removal
Ich habe das selbe Problem mit den 30 Minuten Timeout. EIN BIOS Update vom Hersteller hat bis jetzt keine Abhilfe geschafft. Der HM70 Chipsatz hat auch die neuesten Treiber. Könnt ihr mir da BITTE helfen???
