I have been meaning to downgrade versions of my BIOS but haven't had any luck. I am on 1.63 and I wanna downgrade to any older version on the Z230 Tower Workstation. When I try to downgrade using HPQFlash it gives me a 0x0D error, and when i try DOSFlash it gives me a ROM error. I know that HP hasn't made it easy for us to downgrade to older versions but I was wondering if someone could tell me how to bypass it regardless of the risks of the motherboard getting bricked.
