nicholas1020 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Hello guys I have an alienware 18 R1 (2014) I want to install an unlocked bios on to give me a little more flexibility. I was wondering if anyone knows if it would be feasible to downgrade this machine from bios version A14 down to A12 and maybe describe what the process would entail. I wanted to reach out because I'm having a hard time finding relevant info on this topic! Thank you(: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruenoG7 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 All you have to do is easy, I recommend having a battery before doing that. - Advanced menu unlocked bright: Use the bug to sleep! Unpack the file and copy it to the 😄 root location. Then open CMD with administrator rights (CLI C:\ window), place your laptop into sleep mode and then wake it up, then run these commands from CMD window: fptw64 -f bios.bin -bios WARNING !!!do not turn off the laptop while writing the bios!!!! Do not unplug the Intel video card!!!!! No video memory resizing!!!! I LEAVE YOU THE FILE THAT I USE IN MY ALIENWARE 18, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE YOU CAUSE WHEN FLASHING YOUR BIOS, DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK.
