ENVY dv6 - 7373ca: update BIOS WANT dv6

Hello

After I managed to remove the two "unknown device" - entered the W10 Device Manager clean install thanks to this forum, I tried to upgrade to the BIOSVersion F.2D Rev a dated August 26, 2014 and listed under Windows 8 (sp68425.exe) which, according to the note, HP recommends highly.

As I was not sure if this update would work under W10, I first tried the method described (HP Notebook PC - updated BIOS) with the opening of the menu equipment Diagnostics UEFI immediately by pressing the ESC key several times, once per second, until the Boot Menu is displayed and then pressing the F2 key. But unfortunately on the HP PC Hardware Diagnostics UEFI screen of my ' WANT dv6 - 7373ca "there are only four options (1. Memory test, 2. Hard drive test, 3. Language, 4. Exit) and no option called 'Firmware Management' or 'BIOS '. Because I would have preferred a BIOS update without starting the Windows operating system, is there something I can add this missing option menu Hardware Diagnostics UEFI?

So I took the chance to run this BIOS file "sp68425.exe" in Windows 10 and everything seemed to work fine except the error message short after the new throw about 1 or 2 seconds that an error has been discovered, which needs to be solved and a percentage that was happening 100% before 10 of Windows start still.

Now, everything seems to work ok: I can access the BIOS again much easier than the old BIOS dating sometime in 2012, I can boot Windows 10 without any error message longer, I can restore my WindowsImageBackups using the repair-CD as well as well as the SystemRestoreDrive I had both created on Windows 10. And the new BIOS version number and date are displayed under the W10 and also after the start systeminfo pressing keys ESC and F1. Is there anything else I can do to check the correct functioning of the BIOS?

Concerning

Seek and you will find what I found, it was supposed to be the latest version of "HP PC Hardware Diagnostics UEFI" (v. 5.9.0.0) I installed immediately on the UEFI System Partition to update the old one in my laptop (c. 1.6.0.0). This provided the desired options '-update BIOS "and"BIOS-Rollback"after pressing the F2 key without having to start Windows or if this does ' t OS start.

  • Want DV6-7300ea problem of updating Bios with SSD

    Hello

    Recently, I swapped my HARD drive to the STRANGE Bay and put an SSD in the startup location.  Everything works fine until it was update the BIOS to the new version F.26.  After having downloaded the update and run the .exe, the computer restarts and the normal blinking screen comes up - everything seems as it should and checks the update. Then, the system reboots and what I see is a black screen with the fan turns. He accomplishes this task for 30 seconds, then stops and goes through the same routine. I left for an hour, but no progress so I removed the battery and swapped the HARD drive in the main Bay. Put running the laptop and it displays the screen "Boot Block update" and continued to work as usual.

    No idea why he won't not on-screen "update Boot Block" with the SSD in as peripheral to start?

    When you start the update of the BIOS ROM file performs a check of the configuration of the laptop. The coding of the met the STRANGE unexpected update and configuration SSD as your laptop went into a loop. When you have returned the laptop on its original config that apparently satisfied with the softpaq update BIOS and completed its task. Now, we know the results of the portable non-standard configurations on the BIOS updates.

    Thanks for posting this has happened and the final result.

    Hello kieuminhuy... I'm sorry that you are having this problem with your ENVY dv6!

    kieuminhuy, you can go to the page of downlopad 7200 WANT dv6 to download and run the SoftPAQ BIOS proper.  You do not have to run this SoftPAQ on the failed system - it should work on any system!  When you run the SoftPAQ, chose the option to copy the image file of the BIOS to another location (see below).

    I hope this helps!

    Hello

    • I have a HP ENVY dv6 Notebook PC with a product number of C4V06EA #ABU
    • It came with windows 8 is installed

    I've upgraded to 8.1 windows however after several months I decided the format my laptop to an earlier version of windows which has windows 7.

    When you install windows 7 I formatted my hard drive and the recovery partition and merged the two drives to make a.

    SOMETHING I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND ANYONE TO DO IF THIS READING FOR ADVICE!

    So with windows 7 installed on my laptop, I had several problems with drivers and so on.

    I would like to return to the settings of factory/how I got it on the shop however I never had any backup DVD and now have more HP support or HP recovery installed on my laptop. And considering that I deleted the recovery partition I don't know what my options are.

    I tried;

    My partner also has a HP laptop - I tried to create the recovery disks to recover within the HP program but trying on my laptop he advises me that this isn't for my laptop.

    I tried to download the drivers for windows 7 via HP supports however the drivers for my laptop are only for windows8 or 8.1

    -----------------------------

    Question time!

    Can I get a copy of the recovery disks without having to pay?

    Even if I did, because I deleted the partion will recover this work?

    Can HP give me my key for windows 8 installed on my laptop?

    -----------------------------

    This is a great laptop and I can't use it even it is a little over 1 year also!  I contacted HP support by phone and I can not even any medium without having to pay a ridiculous tax, something I can't afford a student.

  • confused about the want 700-074 update bios - it's for my computer?

    Hi all

    I am a happy owner of a 700-074 HP Envy computer. I have a question about a recent update BIOS I've seen on the software and drivers download page on the main site HP.COM. I frequently check the site for updates of drivers and software.

    The update in question is classified

    Update BIOS HP Compaq consumer desktop PC (SSID family ROM 2AF3)

    Although the ROMA family corresponds to the family on my computer, it lists the update of a HP Compaq computer.

    This BIOS does the 700-074 want system specifically? I guess it's because it it lists to the title of the download page for 700-074 want systems. However, I don't want to patch my BIOS with the update incorrect if it is considered an error.

    Any help will be appreciated.  Thank you!

    Hello @boinc127,

    I understand that you are looking to confirm that the update of the BIOS HP Compaq consumer Desktop PC BIOS Update (2AF3 ROM family SSID) is appropriate for your computer. As far as I can tell it's the update of the correct BIOS for your computer.

    I hope that I have answered your question to your satisfaction. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!
