Maybe the file is not a Dell PFS BIOS Image
What's your Device Model? Also take an image for the Downloaded file.

It isn`t a PFS image. When you have a bios update with the blue dell icon try the older command line options to extract.
XPS8920_1.0.23.exe /writeromfile will extract a 12MB file,only the first 8MB is the update so further editing is needed, with a hex editor

It won`t extract using Dell PFS extractor until the first exe is extracted, its an AFUDELL app.

See: https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...table?t=115830

Added AMI UCP extract windows app to AFUDELL guide

I converted the code as it is available.

But it opens and closes, it doesn't work.

Do I need to edit something for it to work? Could you share a link to the exe file?

Thanks

Thank you.

impossible on windows, works on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

GUIDE TO USE DELL PFS EXTRACTOR or other extractors from BiosUtilities (my way)

1. Download BIOSUtilities (thanks to platomav) and move folder "BiosUtilities" to Desktop
https://github.com/platomav/BIOSUtilities
2. Install python 3.11.0 or higher (both versions for 32bit and 64bit)
3. Download Dell bios update from Dell site (in my example bios update for Dell Latitude 3420) and move it to "BiosUtilities" from Desktop.
4. RENAME update exe WHITOUT SPACES AND DOTS! In my example "Latitude_3420_Latitude_3520_1.37.0.exe" to "Latitude_3420_Latitude_3520_1_37_0.exe"
5. Open cmd as admin and go to folder "BiosUtilities" from Desktop. For win10 win11 drag&drop "Dell_PFS_Extract.py" [space] "Latitude_3420_Latitude_3520_1_37_0.exe" and hit Enter. (for win7 use copy/paste)
6. For ALIENWARE use "Insyde_IFD_Extract.py", is not AMI bios but Insyde!
