The bios upgrade utility for RZ09-0329x failed to upgrade the bios and now whenever i restart my laptop it enters an endless loop. I am getting an error: "flash update error", "flash image invalid or not found". Any ideas???

If you have warranty - RMA it.
If not - go to professional laptop service, where they'll unsolder BIOS chip from motherboard, and flash it with new firmware again.

No warranty i am afraid,... I was thinking if i can re-flash the bios to the previous version somehow. Any ideas where i can found the previous versions of the firmware?

You can only ask Razer Support for older bios version: https://mysupport.razer.com/app/contact-support

If BIOS update is not successful or failed, system cannot boot properly and Boot Blocker function will be activated. Users can recover the BIOS back when following error message appear on the screen. If motherboard has on-board VGA, the screen might go black. Then it needs to use AGP or PCI VGA card on the motherboard to see the screen output. BIOS ROM checksum error Detecting floppy drive A media!K INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER To recover the BIOS, follow the procedure for backup. 1.Make a bootable DOS floppy disk then copy AWDFLASH.exe utility and correct BIOS file. 2.Insert the disk into floppy drive and press Enter key. 3.System will boot-up to DOS prompt. 4.Type Awdflash xxxxxxx.bf /sn/py/r in DOS prompt. 5.System will update the BIOS automatically and restart. 6.After restart, BIOS has been recovered and system will work properly. Note: xxxxxxx.bf will be the BIOS file name. It can also support the BIOS format other then BF/BS extention. For example to use P4TSE's BIOS for recovering. Type Awdflash TSE0319.BF /sn/py/r in DOS prompt. For example to use U8668D's BIOS for recovering. Type Awdflash U8668R23.DDR /sn/py/r in DOS prompt.
