Bios Mods -The Best BIOS Update and Modification Source

Hi Guys i have a HP Zbook Studio G3 with PowerOn BIOS Password and cannot remove it that have a BIOS CHIP 25q128fvsq i use a ch341a to read the chip and take a Backup of that with ch341A Programmer 1.29 (Selection_999(773).png image), read the content OK but if  use the Verify button send a message that Don't Match

With with ch341A Programmer 1.30 the same message, of mismatch in the verify (Selection_999(776).png image)

The Full MB data are: HP ZBook Studio G3 Mobile Workstation LA-C401P  APW5U  Rev: 1A


That is a normal situation or in effect the Reading are Wrong?

Some on can help me to know what need to modify from the Bin file or if exist another method to do it?

The Backups are in the rar files attached, are Winrar 5 version of the Files

as comment the Verification failure dont make sense for me so i run it again over Linux OS and now see
Backups]$ sudo flashrom --programmer ch341a_spi -r 25q128fvsq-Zbook-Studio-G3_Linux.bin
