@MishimaPizza - Wow, please use edit function if you need to add more info and no one has replied yet, instead of making many replied in a row, thanks

sorry, im new here lol

@MishimaPizza - What do you mean new "here"? All forums would have the same request, it's common internet etiquette to edit your posts and not make several in a row on same day

I told you to give me the chip ID and then wait, remember I said SLOW DOWN NOW
For W25Q128JV only the following works that I know of >>
1.18 (read, not write) or ASProgrammer 1.40/1.41 (OK read/write)
W25Q128JV - Colibri ver. 1.0.1.62 confirmed read/write OK (use BV ID)
Software package at post #2 has the above mentioned software/versions, please dump using one of the above

Please tell me what version of software you used in image/dump above with BV ID, so I can compare with your new dump of above and add to my notes if read is OK for that version + BV ID
Also, in the future, when sharing files online, please put in zip or rar etc, thanks

I used 1.18 to make the dump, if i recall correctly. Ill try with colibri


Edit: Im unsure what to click on Colibri to identify and read the chip

Edit2: Nevermind, i figured it out

If you don't recall for sure, then let me know and I'll toss that file out.
Colibri >> Select Device (Then start typing ID and choose BV) >> Then read >> Verify >> Save

Theres no option for Verify in Colibri but it read the chip. Here is the dump, in 7z format: http://s000.tinyupload.com/?file_id=05029446869261296722

"Compare" in Function drop out = verify, sorry for any confusion, this is required / should be done before saving
So read >> compare >> Save

Please clarify, what BIOS do you want to be on, 1.3 or 1.5?

ok, in that case, ignore the last tinyupload link and here is the verified Colibri dump 7z: http://s000.tinyupload.com/?file_id=97935227624203955854

EDIT:1.3 if possible but 1.5 works too in case something goes wrong

1.5 says you can't downgrade to anything below 1.4.1, so don't do that again 1.14.0 is latest
I can put you on whichever you want, you have to pick.

ok then 1.3 hhaha

See edit above, for version info, at least what they "say" is change logs
Yes, you just update normally after we fix, using stock EXE

i read it, thanks again

@MishimaPizza - what was the highest version you had ever flashed in here?
