HP Envy 17, N1L21EA: HP Envy 17 blocked Bios Update?

From 26/02/2016, I try to install the upgrade of the SP74326 Bios for my HP Envy 17, laptop N1L21EA. Using the Assistant from HP Support, messages is simply that the installation has failed, I tried several times.

When you directly download the SP74326.exe, Setup shows 3 options, the upper 1 "Update" option is always Bernard, with the message "BIOS update is blocked on this unit. The other options are backup options that work.

It seems that my notebook does not want to be updated!

No problem with the laptop itself or some other updates.

Any idea?

Ok.

I would like to leave only if it works fine.

Murphy's law applies to this.

If it is not broken, and you try to fix it, bad things happening...

    Hi all

    If the solution was done by a kind shop in Hungary, http://reballing.hu

    and a specialist in firmware http://vinafix.vn

    So apperently my BIOS has been corrupted that CAPS lock sign showed and it could have been rewritten with HP Diagnostics if HP could provide the RSA key for her...

    In this case it is not provided, you don't have that one other solution, to find a nice (as reballing.hu) repair shop, where the guys are nice enough to disassemble your computer, take the chip and write the data without the requirement of RSA software HP Diag using a writer BIOS correctly. You can also buy writers of the bios and the tools, but he could be uite costly and risky for you to do...

    So you have a repair guy, the only other thing that you might need to trust is the dump of the BIOS correct, please note that the supplied with the softpaqs .bin file is encrypted, so it must be decrypted, it is not an easy task, it worked for me too after awhile, but better to find a provider of bios (saves time for you as well and that is why HP is not willing to give it to you, you have two choices: make a work computer, and read the bios in this way (you must have the identical chip and content, so preferabily the same card mother or product)

    Or go to www.vinafix.vn and ask them to provide you with, these people are kind enough to explain how the thing works and what you need to write your own return data.

    So once that you set is not more than 30 minutes for a handy guy and as they work at the time, it is fairly cheap as well, it cost me 25 USD total (10 for bios) and 15 for the actual work done

    It's a shame that yu can not really find information about this threat, and also that it can happen to your computer at any time it seems that, always in waiting to see what caused, and if she came back or not... but as of now, I am pleased that the computer is back on!

  • HP ENVY 700-030qe: BIOS updates for my HP desktop computer

    I have a desktop HP ENVY 700-030qe with Windows 8. While looking through the updates of software available for my system, I have seen two listed in the BIOS:

    (1) HP Compaq consumer Desktop PC BIOS for ROM family SSID 2AF3 dated October 2014.

    (2) HP Desktop BIOS update system for PC HP ENVY 700/800/810 with 2AF3 family ROM dated May 2014.

    1. How will I know what family of ROM BIOS I have? I have pictures of all the screens of BIOS that I could get and nothing mentioned family BIOS ROM. I still have the BIOS original version KAI 80.07.

    2. the two updates apply to my computer? The wording is confusing. It seems that only the second apply to my system unless one applies to a more general category of the office. If both apply, as the first is the most recent, which would be the one to use?

    3. There is an issued for the BIOS in June security update that I ran across here. Which does not appear in the update list. Why would that not replace the other? Can I assume that the October update would include this security update?

    Thank you

  • HP ENVY Notebook m7: BIOS update messed up my HDMI port

    I put the laptop to 'sleep' last night and some automatic updates happened the day after. Today, the HDMI port does not work. I did a recovery of pilots, but that does not solve the problem. Then I went to update the BIOS, but I have installed version is F35 and what was available was an F11 Rev A version (the confusing part is that the F11 version had a newer version which date of the F35, 3 months). In any case, the option to install the F11 Rev A Bio was not available, making only one port USB of the BIOS recovery of other computers.

    Help! I use HDMI for display on a big TV to run i, u; lator and watch TV Online.

    Thank you!

  • ENVY 17-j005tx BIOS CORRUPTION - URGENT

    Hello

    I have HP ENVY 17-j005tx and it showed the HP updates and let it install automatically. He invites restart me my laptop for the bios upgrade. The laptop was on the current and it restarts and I confirmed to install bios when it restarts to the UEFI bios update page. After all the blocks have been written he restarted, it self and gave me a blank screen. Then all of a sudden it turned off it self. I waited, but nothing happened. So I decided to turn on. And nothing appears on the screen (the screen is not turning on at all) and the WiFi led is on (orange). I realized the Caps Lock led flashes twices during startup. I read on the HP site and defines it as a corruption of BIOS. I also read in one of the HP help pages by pressing Win Key + B while turning on the laptop, it should bring up the BIOS recovery page, but it does not work.

    It would be great if someone can help me with this problem. I have not guaranteed + insurance but I do not know there is a way to fix this problem before going to the store for a replacement. Also, if someone could please send me a partition of their Envy 17-j005tx HP_TOOLS (to get the bios such as 0xxxx.fd files, 0xxxx.) BIN, 0xxxx. BIN. DEC and 0xxxx. (GIS). This will help me to include these files in my HP Flash DRIVE recovery. (I install a HP UEFI environment [HP_TOOLS] on a USB key from another HP laptop I have - I need the files mentioned in order to Flash the bios)

    Download the softpaq diagnosis on another PC. Connect a USB to the computer even. quevous use and double-click the softpaq. Choose to install the PC_Tools to the USB STICK. You can also download the versions earlierer of the BIOS the drivers download support web document and extract the softpaq to use as source for BIOS files you requested.

  • ENVY 13-D046TU: F.35Ap1 BIOS update kills port HDMI on ENVY laptop

    After installation of the firmware update marked Softpaq number: SP75152, F.35Ap1 Version now four of our laptops (13 "and 14" ENVY ENVY) have a HDMI port not working. The external screens are 'no signal '.

    We spent a lot of time with the help of HP (via Hong Kong, we found ourselves in India). Remote control sessions. All a waste of time. The update of the BIOS is faulty, no system restore cannot solve this problem.

    Same day (June 13, 2016) one of our laptops automatically installed this update of the BIOS with the HP Support Assistant and killed the HDMI port.

    A. is there a way to acquire and install the previous BIOS?

    When can b. we expect a new update of the BIOS?

    C. how the hell did this update of the BIOS pass test? -> 4 / 4 updated computers laptops have a broken HDMI port. We have 7 other laptop on the left who are fortunately not updated.

    Hi there @BugFinderand @DebVancouver.

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!  It's a good place to find the help you need, other users, HP experts and other support staff. From what I understand, bothl of you experience the same problem with HDMI after a BIOS update.  I'm happy to help you with this.

    I would, if possible, that each of you try the laptops HP - restore the BIOS to a restoration to the having previously worked BIOS.  The main purpose is to return you to a working state. If this method works for you, obviously do not install BIOS update again.

    Edit: Bugfinder reported that restoration, the method of BIOS didn't work for him, but he had to do several times (4 times in at least one case). I guess you could say that it is true to its name, and I thank very you much for the comments.

    Please let me know if it works for you and if not let me know if there is an error message any. If this does not solve your immediate problem, please mark this message as a solution. Bravo would be appreciated as well.

  • HP Envy 15 Touchsmart does not start after the bios update

    I had one laptop touchsmart from HP Envy 15 (initially Windows 8, windows 8.1 now) for about 2 months now and have not had any problems, until a few hours ago I tried to update the bios of my laptop with the hp support assistant. After the reboot, the pc is more would start up and took me to a blue screen with the error SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED. Everything that I've done short far from a refreshment or a reset has not worked and if I could I would avoid both that I don't have the bandwidth to download windows 8.1 again.

    HI Calsius:

    Thank you for your query.  I will be happy to help in any way I can!

    After the Windows 8.1 update, did you create a restore point?  If so, you can use to restore from that date and not lose your 8.1 updated.  Some BIOS have an option for a restoration which should not affect your operating system.  I did a search of Microsoft and found this answer click here.   Here is a document on the ' update the BIOS'   click here.»  You did not provide your model number and the HP Envy 15, is a series, so I couldn't get a specific documentation for your computer.  Here is a document on ' computer will start (Windows 8) " click here. If you are able to get your computer running and upward I update all the driversand then create a restore point to return if necessary.  If the Bios update should fail a 2nd time, your restore point will take back you to just before you retried the update. If you were to use the recovery option you need go back to Windows 8, or back to the factory.

    Please let me know if this helped.
