So your question is redundant!?The Project Version number of my Z83-4 is "CHT0A 1.70 x64." Can I use this BIOS update or not?

Hi. I don´t know if you followed the instructions correctly: (From post 1)I was trying to install Ubuntu on a Z83-4 Plus, but consistently got a black screen. I tried to update the bios using these instructions but have bricked my device.
The bios update appeared to complete successfully, but then the device would not come back online. It shows a green LED, with no other indicators. Nothing on the monitor.
I have tried removing the cmos battery, but that did not help. Is there any other method of restoring the device?
To restore the device: (try this)
(i think you flashed the device BIOS with the wrong firmware)

Possibly this...Yes I believe you are right - I didn't see / read that warning until after the update didn't work.
I think I need to have a good bios in order to follow those steps though. Which BIOS is right?
It is extremely important to check if the "Project Version" in BIOS is started with "CAT0A".
If the "Project Version" starts with "CAT0C", then you can't use this BIOS, otherwise the device will become a brick, no reaction and cannot boot.

It's right there in your post![QUOTE = "MINIX - John, Beitrag: 157, Mitglied: 2"] Es ist äußerst wichtig zu überprüfen, ob die " Projektversion " im BIOS mit " CAT0A " gestartet wird .
Wenn die " Projektversion " mit " CAT0C " beginnt , können Sie dieses BIOS nicht verwenden, da das Gerät sonst zu einem Baustein wird, keine Reaktion zeigt und nicht gestartet werden kann.

THANK YOU
BIOS V1.80 is the latest.Thanks that has all capped now CHT0A180 date 26.06.2018. Question there is a newer version ?????
This is the correct BIOS for the Z83-4 Pro.But I just noticed now in this stream that this BIOS is not meant for the Z83-4 Pro.
Which is then the best BIOS for the Pro and where can I find it?
OK .. Thanks ... the messages #22 ... #26 in this thread confused me + the BIOS 1.0 & 1.1 on this server labelled specifically for the Z83-4 Pro and dated in 2018 like the BIOS V1.8This is the correct BIOS for the Z83-4 Pro.
@ferrrytyler have you Disabled eMMC Support in the BIOS?
Read through this too...

I thought your issue was not booting from USB?!I understand that the best possible outcome is only a "clean install" on an external HDD
It worked for me using Macrium!but never a cloned/migrated HDD
