T431s - Can't update BIOS - WINUPTP.exe "Error code = 183"

Tried to update the BIOS on a new T431s. Downloaded the latest BIOS flash utility from Lenovo's support site, everything extracts fine, but once the flash utility starts and attempts to flash the BIOS it gets an error and re-attempts it (3 times), before giving me an error message: "Failed to Microcode update. The utility process has not completed.".
Looking at the log file shows an "Error code = 183" after each attempt.
The existing BIOS is ver. 1.04, and version I'm trying to update to is 1.06.
The ISO image for the BIOS update seems like a nogo since this machine doesn't have an optical disc drive. Unless there's some way to copy the [BOOT] partition on the iso to a USB drive.  
Solved!

hi all
thanks for posting. Was reading through this thread and to be honest I'm not sure why you're receiving the error message when updating the BIOS. I will have to consult the team first to see if anything went wrong. In the mean time could you try updating the BIOS downloading the BIOS from the link below to see if you still face the same error message.

  • Tecra S11 - After HDD replacement I can't update BIOS

    My Hard Disk in Tecra S11 died, and I have purchased a new SSD.
    Everything work OK, but I can not update BIOS any more. Update utility show an error:
    Error: Preparing to update was failed.
    You have not given permission to execute the update.
    What to do? Please help.

    > Error: Preparing to update was failed.
    > You have not given permission to execute the update.
    Do you have Admin rights?
    Sounds like the issue could be related to missing privileges which are needed to run a update.
    You could enable the admin account following these steps:
    Choose command prompt (the black box cmd)
    In the box type net user administrator /active:yes
    Then log out. Usually an additional user account should be visible Administrator.
    Now log in using this account and try to execute the BIOS update.
    Note: in many cases the VAP (value added package) is needed to run the update BIOS.
    Be sure also, that package has been unzipped correctly before running the exe file.

    after upgrade Intel Management Engine Interface v.7.1.52.1176 i can not update BIOS - error "This computer is not supported"

    The ME Interface provides thermal management for Intel Mainboards. The Intel Management Engine Interface (Intel ME Interface) is the interface between the Intel Management Engine firmware and the host. Drivers and applications on the host that wish to interact with Intel Management Engine through host interface would use the Intel ME Interface host windows driver.

    Downgade Intel Management Engine Interface to 7.00.02.1164 and/or reinstall Value Update Pack (vap-2011-614162421.zip) does not solve the problem.

    Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling Photoshop Elements 12 completely? Sometimes that error can occur if the current installation became damaged.
