<p>Ok I have tried to use bcpvpd but it was not working because of an incorrect input file format.</p>
<p>So I have done the following steps now:</p>
<p>1. Extract the .wph file from Bios .exe file (result see my last answer)</p>
<p>2. Loading the .wph file into Phoenix WinPhlash v1.7.16.0 to get some more information about the Bios (see attached log file)</p>
<p>3. Decompressed the .wph file with PhoenixTool v2.11 into several single Bios module files.<br>

ok in that case a colleague suggested that the file is probably<br>
compressed and can be decompressed with a tool contained in the<br>
bios_extract repository named bcpvpd<br>
you can find it here<br>

i have not tried it on that file, please try yourself. if it works and<br>
expands to the right size you can flash it. if not we would like to<br>
hear about it :)<br>
