I checked that forum and the entire FAQ and couldn't find any help on how to extract the bios rom. Most people seem to have no problem using winrar or even 7zip to open their exe. Im thinking it is something specific to my manufacturer "Dell" and their new UEFI bios exe files. Their old bios files could be extracted with cmd in windows with /writeromfile. If anyone knows anything about this for the dell uefi bios file and can help me extract the .rom that would be great.
FIXED IT YAT!!!
If anyone else runs along this problem with the dell xps 13 hit me up.
- I used the bios backup tool to get the .rom file out
- Also in the instructions where it says to look for the largest size file, this was not the case for me. There were many other files larger that I popped into the IFR extractor but could not recognize or said Unknown. I used the second hint the author mentioned that his file was around 500kb. I took the file closest to that file, popped it into IFR extractor and boom status when green reading "UFEI"
Thanks for all the help out there. I shall continue my work now.
I attached the bios backup tool in here in case you need it.View attachment Universal BIOS Backup ToolKit 2.0.rar
