Unknown image when trying to modify Lenovo Flex 3 1580 BIOS images #376

I have a Lenovo Flex 3 1580 that I'm wanting to try this tool on.

The original BIOS on it is fucked, so I've been trying to flash the BIOS that I've extracted onto the chip with a flasher. I've never gotten it to work, so now I'm wanting to experiment with the BIOS to see if certain parts are borked, like the ME might have a corrupted firmware, so I'm thinking that nuking ME might make it work.

I have tried two different extracted BIOS releases, d3cn38ww and d3cn35ww. Both have been extracted from the source .cap file with UEFITool. Both give me an "Unknown image" error
