BIOS/insydeflash error. HP GIVES NO ROM FILE

Hi all

before going to rescue my frustrations, some information base here you might need

I have a HP Pavilion dv7 (Yes, one of those) 1140eb. Intel processors, either, and I wanted to update my BIOS.

My BIOS version is now F.12 08/28/2008 and there is an update of January 2011 I really want because maybe it would solve a lot of problems (overheating problems, keyboard, network, battery, graphics).

I've upgraded to windows 7 Ultimate a few years but started with Windows Vista (maybe important?).

Here is the site of HP drivers (with the .exe BIOS) for my dv7 entertainment 1140eb blabla. http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?OS=4062 & LC = NL & CC = be & DLC = NL & sw_lang = & Product = 3829...

WELL, now here's the thing, and more importantly, my problem:

When I download the .exe (5.23 MB) file and then run it:

1. it shows me the installation wizard, very nice

2. it extracted the exe file, also very nice.

3. it opens INSYDEFLASH, even more enjoyable,

BUT THEN THIS ERROR MESSAGE IN INSYDFLASH:

"There isn't any ROM file in this directory.

-J' press 'OK' and EVERYTHING DISAPPEARS. Whenever time and time again. Also with previous versions.

SO IT WON'T WORK, THANK YOU VERY MUCH, HP, TO GIVE A FILE BIOS OFFICIAL WITHOUT A ROM THAT YOUR BIOS FILE CAN NOT BE UPDATED WITH. (or something like that)

So, let me get this right: in order for me (and everyone else) to update BIOS, I (and everyone) or a ROM file, right?


Let's say that HP gives me everything I need: I got the .exe .dll extracted from the "BIOS" sp51315.exe file, .ini files what do I do? I'm desperate and I don't want to download any other BIOS upgrade than the HP :'(

So here's my question:

What should I do to make Insydeflash work (WHERE THE ROM FILE AT?)

Greetings and thank you already!

Tom

I just have it exactly the same problem.

The problem is the control systems in place. When controls are coming back without finding the correct code, copy is not executed and the update fails. The file is there, but the system renames the right (there are several) based on return codes.

For anyone else who might come across this problem, here is the solution I found.

All you have to do is launch the updates from that after your version and continue on for every day (you can probably skip into small pieces, but you might as well do the updates in order to be sure).

That's all! Just start at the beginning

Hope it helps someone.

  • DV7-1125ef: BIOS/insydeflash error. HP GIVES NO ROM 2 FILE THE RETURN

    Hi, there is a previous post called

    BIOS/insydeflash error. HP GIVES NO ROM FILE

    I have the same problem. My Bios version is F.12. Trying to update with the files of available bios (F.2C and F.2D) gives an error message: no ROM file in this directory. The solution given in the previous post is to install all previous BIOS uptades one by one.

    My problems are:

    1. numeric keypad on my keyboard refuse to work

    2. the computer does not start with linux fedora 22 internal SATA. It starts with Win7. She agrees to boot with linux on an external usb drive or a key.

    So, if anyone has these bios uptades F.12 pitting F.2C or could tell me where to download, it would really help!

    Thanks for reading

    Sparkles1 thank you for your very quick response. I finally got links to all previous versions of Bios on the internet. This bios is a bit special. You must install all versions one by one in order until the last of them available. HP site only gives access to the last 2 (F.2C and F.2D). In my case, I just couldn't go to F.2C F.12. It is does not work and ends with an error message. Now it's done and my problems are solved. I mark the thread as solved. Thx again.

  • HP model #A6000n Bios Checksum error after update Bios!

    I did update the Bios posted on the Hp website... After the reboot, all I get is this error, "BIOS Checksum Error", the black screen then looks for a boot diskette drive (this computer has not), then it looks for a boot on the CD drive disc.  Now, I talked to HP support and they say I have to order the recovery disks.  Someone can send me a bootable file that I could burn it to a CD for this model machine and get it operational?  I have an older machine here that would allow me to make a bootable CD, but I have no idea where to find some sort of update of the BIOS and or file bootable to Flash the BIOS.  I am so angry that HP wanted me to buy this CD recovery program has just returned in Windows Vista.  But, I don't know what to do because the update of the BIOS must have been corrupted when I flashed the motherboard ASUS.  This computer is my aunts and she failed to save restore disks and now I'm lost as to lift this thing up and running... Help, please!

    Thank you!

    As I said, if you have a floppy is easy, especially since the computer diskette is XP. OK, let's go.

    (1) place the disk in the drive

    (2) open my computer and right-click on the floppy drive

    (3) choose the format on the menu that appears

    (4) put a check mark in the box "create an MS-DOS startup disk".

    5) click on 'start '.

    When 6) filled the awdflash.exe on the diskette copy

    (7) right click on the file of BIOS from HP

    (8) to move the mouse cursor in 7 - zip and click "open archives".

    (9) double click on the folder icon in the new window

    (10) right click on the ROM file - in this case 513. ROM

    (11) choose "copy to" from the menu and browse it on the floppy

    (12) when it is completed, the disk should be ready to work

    (13) move the floppy drive cable and the Ribbon in the Vista computer.  He didn't need to be mounted, but make sure that it does not touch something metal (participation of books will be good) and connect the water and the power supply to the motherboard and the power of the Vista computer (of course, it is done with both computers turned off and unplugged)

    Now ready to go on the Vista computer. When you press the power button on the computer, there will be a splash of HP come screen upward.  From this screen, press her "enter the BIOS' or 'Boot to install' as shown.  I forgot to ask if this screen appears in the previous posts.  If this screen does not appear then it will be much more difficult.

    When in the BIOS, look for boot order and then set it can boot from the floppy first.  Save the selection to get out.

    (14) reboot - should end up with a cursor blinking in the upper right

    (15) type AWDFLASH 513 rom/py/sn/cc , and then press ENTER.

    (16) when and if he finished power down and remove the drive from the computer disk

    That should do it.  If this does not work or there are problems come back with an explanation of what was happening.

    Of course, to do this at your own risk.  I'm just trying to help.

    If you used the power switch, you can inadvertently damage your file system, so before wasting time to try a bunch of things, I could do this (or you may be wasting a lot of time to try things too):

    The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination? (This includes the plug pulling, buttons power and removing the battery).

    These can cause corruption in the file system that must be fixed before you do anything else.

    If none of these events occurred (or even if they have not taken place), you must verify the integrity of your file system before anything else (especially "try" things).

    There is zero logic to begin to try to begin to try to modify or copy files to a hard drive that has a corrupted file system, so this must first be fixed using the XP chkdsk program and run chkdsk on your hard drives may solve your problem completely.

    Use the XP Recovery Console to check the file system on your HARD drive and fix the problems and then try to start your system - this may be all you need to do.  Or, you are welcome to just start trying things that might work.

    Boot into the Recovery Console Windows using an XP bootable installation CD.

    If you have no XP bootable media (or aren't sure you have) create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and do not forget.

    This is not the same as recovery disks that may have come to a store to purchase the system.

    You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file and burn it to a CD.

    The ISO bootable image file you need to download is called:

    xp_rec_con. ISO

    Download the ISO from here:

    http://www.mediafire.com/?ueyyzfymmig

    Use a new CD and this simple and free program to burn your ISO file and create your bootable CD:

    http://www.ImgBurn.com/

    Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

    http://Forum.ImgBurn.com/index.php?showtopic=61

    It would be a good idea to test your bootable CD on a computer running.

    You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.  These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

    When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:

    Press any key to boot from CD...

    Installing Windows... going to pronounce.

    Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.

    Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)

    You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).

    You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS.  It's the same as the

    C:\Windows folder that you see in Solution Explorer.

    The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.

    For a list of the commands in the Recovery Console, type help at the prompt of commands or read on here XP Recovery Console:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/recovery_console_cmds.mspx?mfr=true

    A good idea before you start things must first verify the integrity of your file system by using the chkdsk command.

    In the command prompt window, run the chkdsk command on the drive where Windows is installed to try to fix any problems on the afflicted player.

    Running chkdsk is fine, even if he finds no problem.  It won't hurt anything to run it.

    Assuming your boot drive is C, run the following command:

    CHKDSK C: /r

    Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.

    It may take a long time for chkdsk complete or they seem to be "stuck".  Be patient.  If the HARD drive led blinks always, chkdsk is something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

    You must run chkdsk/r again until it finds no error to correct.

    Remove the CD, and then type "exit" to exit the RC and restart the computer.

    You have not to set the BIOS to boot the disk HARD since the CD won't be.

  • CMOS bios update error

    I updated my bios on the HP site and it froze and now my computer will not boot.

    I tried to clear cmos... Remove the battery... etc.

    F1 is not working as there isn't that far away in the boot.

    I can start from afloppy and I tried to Flash the bios without success using rom awdflash and 317.le

    My motherboard ASUS P5BW - THE ISAN

    And the model is Pavilion a1640n media center PC.

    I read a lot of posts and have tried everything I read and so far nothing works.

    I really appreciate the help of HP on this by offering me a bios updated and make my PC useless.

    That being said, I am reaching out to someone who can help me and accepts that HP should not provide updates that ruin peoples computers and then load them for support.

    Happy to announce that I am typing this on my Hp Pavilion a1640n. After three days, I finally got to work. For all those who have an HP bios update failure, follow these steps. If you get the bootblock message and can boot from a floppy disk do not give up.

    using winrar to extract your rom file of the bios of hp update website .exe for your motherboard.

    This is now where I was wrong. I tried several versions of awdflash without success. So I decided I want to download all the versions from here

    http://www.biosmods.com/download.php

    and try them all. HP motherboards are made by asus, so I decided to try one that is 1.32 and guess what it worked!

    you will need to create a bootable diskette using drdos and put the awdflash and in my case 317.le rom and I also put one that contains the autoexec.bat file code to execute which included a bunch of "switches" that I don't understand, but it worked.

    One last thing, I did all of this without the cmos battery in my room. I don't know if that makes a difference or not but I had to work.

    Now I wonder what would be the harm "HP support" to provide this info?

    Good luck... Don't give up... and CERTAINLY do not PAY A CENT to RUIN YOUR HP COMPUTER.

    Google is your friend.

    Peace.

    Try if you are able to replace the CD Rom drive or you can arrange for an external CD-ROM and proceed with the installation.

    Method 2:
