You using Qflash I take it? the newer BIOS probably updates Qflash at the same time, hence why you cant use it to do the flash.

Try @BIOS app

I wonder if this is anything to do with the specific instructions for F16? Follow the instructions and update to F16 then try F20.

F16 instructions:-

(Note) Please update @BIOS to ver.2.33 and be sure to reflash this BIOS through @BIOS ver2.33.
(Note) To Support IVB-E CPU, the Intel driver must be updated in advanced.
(Note) 3D BIOS will be no longer support after updating this BIOS.

In case anyone does do this I had a problem wouldn't reboot. No BIOS. No keybored or mouse lights etc just fans spinning. To sort this just take battery out for 10 mins and then try it. The latest BIOS installed ok just would not reboot.
