    Just run the flash bios .exe of a04 and it should ask you to confirm "are you sure you want to downgrade" or something like that. Then proceed and you should be fine.

    Also btw bro, make sure you have your laptop plugged in when you do the BIOS update just incase :D

    nope, you have to go into advanced settings and uncheck "flash bios only if newer" and click ok.

    im running a modded A05 bios, but i was running a modded A04.
    the process is pretty simple, just uncheck a box, and done. =) i have also made an m11x r1 bios recovery guide just in case.
