Lenovo G 500s Insyde bios brick looking for right filename for biosdata to recovery

Hey,
as you can read in the subject, ich bricked my bios V2.02 when i tried to flash a whitelist-free-bios to my notebook Lenovo G 500s.
Before i tried to update bios, i made a backup of my current bios in .rom format.
I used Andy's tool to get the right filename, the tool gave out: "VILG1X64.F?"
Then I copied the biosfile to a usb stick with activity-led several times with dirrefent filenames and fileendings:
VILG1X64. fd/rom/bin/bi
VILG1X64. fd/rom/bin/bi
VILG1X64. fd/rom/bin/bi
VILG1X64. fd/rom/bin/bi
VILG1X64. fd/rom/bin/bi
VILG1X64. fd/rom/bin/bi
1X64. fd/rom/bin/bi
VILG. fd/rom/bin/bi
Anybody with the same notebook, who knows which filename i need? Which file-ending is the right?
Some Info:
I also tried to use the .rom file from lenovo's .exe file bios update from official download centre.
Thank you!

Hi, I have an x120e and when I get into the BIOS > Startup > Boot, I see the following list:
Boot Priority Order
1. ATA HDD0 Samsung SSD 830 Series (my main disk)
2. USB HDD SanDisk Cruzer Fit (a tiny usb drive that is always attached and holds assorted files)
3. USB CD
4. USB FDD
5. PCI LAN
The device can indeed boot from a USB stick. I think you will have to follow this order of events: first attach the USB you want to boot from, yet boot only from your main hard drive, to let the system recognize the attached USB drive and put it in the Boot Priority Order list, then shutdown, restart and get into BIOS. F1: to either to change the ordering in the list to put USB FDD or USB HDD SanDisk first) or F12 (I think): to choose a temp device to boot from. Or....... (another thought), the USB you want to boot from hasn't yet been made "bootable" (I think you may have to go into diskpart > etc to set it active) so isn't recognized in BIOS.
I've used a USB flash drive with my recovery partition on it to restore to factory state. That was also a Sandisk Cruzer USB. I've also booted directly into a WinPE sort of environment using another bootable USB made for the purpose of restoring from system images. Mine is an x120e; your x121e can't be much different.
Cheers!

  • Lenovo G555 0873 Insyde BIOS before NAWA1110.e​xe

    Hi,
    I've got a Lenovo G555 - 2gb - AMD M320 cpu - HD4200 gfx - 500gb and was wondering if there were any savvy owners (unlike me) who figured out how to backup their BIOS before upgrading it.  I upgraded the BIOS, and crashes became unbearable, recovery attempts fail with blue screen or justs hangs after progress bar in the beginning.  I even tried installing fresh with new windows 7 disks which also failed, either blue screen during start.  The funny thing is hirens windows mini-xp works without a problem, and can run memory diagnostics all night (no problems reported, by the way) 
    I believe it may be because it doesn't load drivers  and/or  rely on advance hardware features that normal operating systems check for.  I must add even linux fails soon after/during checking of PCI  features since you can see linux boot process in text form.
    Sorry to throw out a lot of assumptions but if anyone does have a copy of the BIOS before the one listed on Lenovo website it would be worth trying.  (can I even flash in windows in a windows live CD?)
    Thanks for any technical advise,
     (I did phone lenovo tech support who were friendly enough but said older BIOS versions are not available)
    # UPDATE
    # Sent the computer back under warranty and they replaced the processor.
    # Everything has been working has normal since then.
    # I am now a happy bunny.

    I am looking to purchase an Apple G4/500 to submit graphics etc. across the internet for an independent newspaper. Will this tower suit my needs to start ?

    Thank you for helping me consider all of this. I am a novice at this newspaper project so I am unsure of what all I need to consider. I will find out and go from there. I do not have a lot of revenue to start with so when I found a deal, I thought it may be a consideration to start with.

  • Insyde BIOS for CQ56-219wm

    I have a CQ56-219wm. It runs Insyde BIOS version F.14. 
    I went to the download page, but all that is available there is a UEFI version, sp51327, or an older one, sp50291. But both say they are UEFI.
    I installed sp51327, but it did nothing to the actual BIOS. It seems to be a support platform for BIOS extensibility.
    Where can I get the Insyde BIOS for this unit? I'm having hardware problems and the flash is my last hope.
    Thanks.

    Hi @paul1149 
    I grasp you are having some hardware problems and have updated the bios but there was no change.  The sp51327 is the latest recommended bios update for your notebook.
    I suggest you try restoring the bios.
    Here is a link to assist you.  Restoring the BIOS
    As you are having a hardware issues you may want to test for hardware failures.

  • Need to create 500 designs, all identical in every way except for a unique QR code

    Hi there. I am using Photoshop CS6.
    I have a design from which I want to create 500 versions of an image. All will be identical, except for the QR code which will be unique for every one.
    The placement of the QR code will be identical in all of them. It's just the actual QR code that changes.
    Any idea how I can achieve this in an automated way? I have the QR codes in a folder, already created, and I have the design already created. I just need to marry up the 2 now and end up with 500 design files to give to the printers for printing.
    Thanks for any direction on how to do this!

    I think you can do it with variables.   I haven't ever tried it, but someone posted up a link to it a few weeks back when a similar question came up.  I bookmarked it because it looked interesting:

  • Deskjet 6980 direct to Lenovo T 500 Windows 7

    Trying to connect Deskjet 6980 to Lenovo T 500 in wireless mode - not through router but direct. Can not seem to make this work. Any suggestions

    If you mean a USB connection, connecting the PC and printer via USB (with the printer on), should cause Win7 to load the driver.  There is no downloadable software from HP.

    Looking at another of Tracy's other post (http://scn.sap.com/thread/3598947) she's trying to use ACL. Hence needing to know the tables to write joins/queries to hit tables within ACL
    I've seen ACL used and have had the fun experience of Auditors using Google to find tables to perform checks on without context of what has actually been implemented in their particular system.

  • How can i get iTunes on my new lap top to look at my server for the music

    I have a new lap top with vista ultimate. I can't get it to "see" the music stored on the server, so my iTUnes on the lap top is blank.
    How can i get my iTunes on my new lap top to look at my server for the music?
    someone mentioned creating an alias on the server and then dragging that onto the c: drive iTunes folder?
    Can anyone help me?

    They should be in your itunes media folder. Use an external hard drive and just copy that to your new computer. I'm sure there's an easier way like this one (iTunes>File>Library>Export Library>External Hard Drive) but I never tried it before. Anyways, once that's done, just simply authorize your itunes account to play music you bought on to the new computer.
