BIOS Update Fail - Aspire XC - 603G Win 8.1

Hello

I have searched here for a few days and read a bunch of messages - which some I tried.

I don't mean to come down in Win 7 (even though I really like Win 7)

I'm trying to stick with Win 8.1.

I was running BIOS P11 - A1 and suddenly started having trouble with the USB 3.0 controller.

I read some posts here and on other forums that I should see if there is a BIOS update.

There are in fact four for this machine and so I started with the oldest a P11 - B0L

T

To be honest, the instructions in the file Readme PDF weren't that useful

but I found some great data on the site of the FRIEND who helped me to put up-to-date to B0L - P11.

I ran the BIOS BACK. BAT file first, but got this error: "4 - error: file ROM ROMID is not compatible with existing BIOS ROMID.

So I advanced and run AFUDOS file without any parameters in the command and all set file to update correctly.

But I still have problems with the USB 3.0 controller and the process just seemed to be relatively complex.

As well my HP and three other Dell had programs BIOS Flash, or simple instructions which worked without any problems.

I was just lucky with them and there are some hidden secret ritual UEFI and/or MS-DOS that I'm missing here?

Am I possibly using the incorrect day BIOS file - and if yes which one should I use?

Thank you

If your computer came pre-installed with windows 8.1, BIOS correct would be P11. B2 (to the best of my knowledge).

'L' versions are for Linux.

  • Satellite L755-S5349 - BIOS update failed - black screen

    Hello.

    So yesterday, I got a Toshiba pop-up message to update my BIOS, so I clicked it and it started to update but then it says "error checking".

    So I closed it, cause I had to restart my computer after one previous update with another program and I thought to try to update the BIOS after you restart.

    But once it restarted it is off, so I tried to put back market but the screen is black, lights are immediately (food, batt etc.) and the fan works just as well. I tried to take the battery out and in again but screen remains black.

    Could someone please tell me what you think it might be and what I have to do.

    I also tried with a HDMI, but it does not recognize.

    Thank you for your help

    Hello

    I think I have bad news for you.
    To me, it seems that the update of the BIOS didn't
    Why? Who knows maybe that some applications that runs in the background affected the BIOS update process.

    I've updated the BIOS on my laptop last night, everything went well. First, I downloaded the BIOS package from the Toshiba page. Then I unzipped the folder.
    I closed all applications that looked like Firewall, antivirus etc software
    Then I did the BIOS update

    At least in cases where the BIOS update failed, you must get in touch with a local ASP Toshiba in order to solve this problem in the best of cases they need to update the module ROM again

    Good luck

  • BIOS update failed - Dell Precision M4600

    I just got a used M4600 and the currently installed bios is A08. When I try to update to A16, it restarts, said it is updating the firmware, but fails at 0%. It gives no reason and no code error I can say. Thanks in advance for any help you guys can provide.

    Is NOT the issue! There is nothing wrong with motherboards M4600 se.

    Everyone tried to find why when you attempt an upgrade of the BIOS, the system fails immediately with a "BIOS Update Failed" basis and any specific error code or more explanations. The answer is in the PDF below--that is the message displayed when the BIOS authentication will fail!

    Just look for the Firmware Signature Dell's "feature" that was introduced in a number of laptop including the M4600.  Doc PDF to download. It is a feature introduced by the NIST requirements.

    In a Word, they changed the way BIOS authenticates a BIOS file before he will use it to update the firmware BIOS & CBS. The M4600 is in the list of "Legacy Systems", where it was introduced. Basically, these systems do NOT have the Firmware of Signature When produced.

    Version A04 introduced this feature. After you have that installed, you will have an option to activate the requirement of Signature of the Firmware (default is). Once activated, it cannot be disabled!

    The problem starts in worm BIOS A08. Something in the code is wrong. Because on some M4600s, it updates the BIOS AND activates the requirement of Signature of the Firmware. After that, the system will authenticate ALL the other versions of the BIOS, so you will NOT be able to upgrade past version 8!

    I got many, many systems for a company. I'm currently sitting on 33 (Yes, that many) M4600 with this exact same situation!

    An exchange of motherboard does not correct the problem. It is to give you a new BIOS chip to tinker with.

  • Vostro 3500 BIOS update failed - need recovery procedure

The big question is, what type of file the 3500 wants to read, and what is the name of the file it is seeking? Is the flash player must be bootable? What is a FRIEND or a Phoenix BIOS? Can someone please? Thanks, Terry

    Here's how to recover a flash update BIOS of your laptop Vostro 3500 failure...

    1. download the Dell BIOS update .exe file to a USB flash drive.

    2. run the .exe with the /writehdrfile parameter file

    3. run the .exe with the /writeromfile parameter file

    4. copy the .hdr winery50.hdr

    5. remove the battery and the power of the dead computer

    6 Insert the flash drive into the USB port on the computer of the death

    7 press and hold the end key and then connect the AC power

    8 dead computer reads USB flash and request if the update should be performed

    9. let the update at the end and then restart.

  • Tecra M4 - BIOS update fails

    I'm updating my M4 with the Toshiba BIOS provided for support of Windows Vista. It can be found here: http://www.csdsupport.toshiba.com/tais/csd/support/windows_vista/vista_beta.cgi?lsAction=list_files&model_id=1

    However, the update process fails. I can unzip the file downloaded to a file, but then fails it to process with a generic-looking message "install2 has encountered a problem and needs to close."

    My M4 is currently leading the BIOS version 1.70, 14/02/2006.

    Any ideas? Maybe is there a way I can do an update of the traditional BIOS with the new file?

    Be careful with the BIOS updates. I put t know where you bought your Tecra but you try to install the update BIOS, designed for the laptop models in the United States.

    If you have European mobile phone use just updates BIOS you will find under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > support & downloads.

    Hello

    As far as I know the BIOS package downloaded from the Toshiba WE page driver contains the ZIP file self-extracting WinRAR 32-bit which includes both based on Windows and disk according to the BIOS update installation options.

    Have you tried to update the BIOS using the BIOS Win-based?

    What operating system do you use?

  • Satellite P200 - 157 BIOS update failed - need help

    Do any of you know if crisis mode-recorery is available for laptop P200?
    What version of PHLAS16. EXE is required and in what mode the disk has to be create (native DOS mode)?

    I bought a USB external floppy drive and try the last days, but unsuccefully.

    Kind regards. Yves (France).

    Hi dude

    That s a pity :(
    The update of the BIOS is always a tricky process and there is always a small piece of risk.
    Usually, if the BIOS update has failed then you need a help of a technician of the ASP.

    The point is that you would need an update of the traditional BIOS to reflash the chip for the BIOS again.
    But the Toshiba driver page provides only the victory of the BIOS which can be updated only from Windows OS-based.

    Therefore, you will need to contact a local ASP which might help you.

    Dude good luck

  • BIOS update fails on Satellite P100-429

    I had a bad flash on my Satellite P100-429.
    The utility crashed which left me with a bookend. Not happy

    I ve created a floppy crisis recovery disk & bought a USB floppy drive after a lot of internet hunting for info.
    Problem is that I need to check on the exact key combination for my laptop to the crisis recovery mode reverie.
    Power on I have the usual symptoms, LED flash, power for CD-rom, click on power of floppy etc...
    I just need to check the correct sequence for the combinations of keys.

    Can anyone help?
    Win - f, victory-b, f - fn, fn - b, victory-esc, fn-escape doesn t seem to work for me

    The waiting time for floppy drive boot after combination etc?
    Help!

    Hello

    I n t have experience with these tools of recovery of the BIOS because I think it s a little too risky. There is no official way to recover a BIOS and I don t want to destroy the whole ROM module.

    In my opinion if a BIOS update n t successful, you should go to an authorized service provider. Contact a technician for laptop and explain your situation. The technician can try to reflash it and they have more experience. I think that this should t be a problem to connect with one. ;)

    Good luck!

  • WANT to 700-074: BIOS update failed HP ENVY 700-074

    I intend to update Windows 10 soon.  HP recommends to update the drivers and BIOS before upgrade.  the original BIOS is listed as FRIEND 80.15 in msinfo32 dated 19/09/2013 (and in the setup of the BIOS as KAI 80.15). The computer came with 8 VICTORY and has been updated to WIN 8.1.  I tried to update the BIOS with the update listed for computers 700 - 0xx WANT to sp66018.exe.  I downloaded and ran the update with the HP Support assistant help.  A DOS window appears, and the update completed.  Norton AntiVirus has been disabled and all programs were closed during installation.  I created a USB file as the recommended window.  After that restart the BIOS version has not changed... Even after several reboots (and stops) and disconnect the power cord (I did some housekeeping to clean the inside of the computer of the dust) the version of the BIOS is still the original.

    What is the correct BIOS update?  There are two listed for my machine - 80.20 Rev. (I used) may 28, 2014

    and 80.24 Rev.A 7 April 2015

    Which is the correct one?  I don't want to install a bad!

    It is possibly disable startup secure in the BIOS for the update to be successful?

    Apparently, the dates are correlated with the version I had.  I tried to install one, be one originally installed... I installed the 80.24 Rev A version dated April 7, 2015 and it updated without problems.
