R510 BIOS upgrade issues

Question

I've got a R510 that is running 1.2.10 BIOS. I need to upgrade to 1.12.0 but understand I need to upgrade one BIOS version at a time.

Thus far I have the following BIOS versions

1.9.0

1.10.2

1.11.0

I attempted to upgrade to 1.9.0 but that is still to high for the update to stick. I tried to search the Dell Archives and this is as far as I have gotten.

Anyone able to supply me with the BIOS versions between 1.2.10 and 1.9.0?

Cheers,

You don't need to go one at a time, but some version have minimum versions. You should be good with this one (1.5.4): http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=R293156

I gave both the exe file along with the NON packaged version a shot with no such luck. Would anyone have a link to previous BIOS verisons?

What did it say?!

For the EXE I received the following messages

"The update package is running on an unsupported new operating system. Do you want to continue?"

"The version of this update package is newer than the currently installed version.

Software app name: BIOS

Package version: 1.5.4

Installed version: 1.2.10

Would you like to continue?"

"Device BIOS, App: BIOS

The BIOS image file is succesfully loaded. Reboot your system to complete the update."

For the non packaged version I booted to the USB, but it would simply jump right to the OS.

I am running 2012 R2.
