HP PAVILION 1015TX M6: failure of the BIOS update F.26 F.27

My machine was originally Windows 7 Home Premium, and then when Windows 8 came out, I bought a license for Pro 8.1. Updated the FW since then to F.26A and no problems at all.

Now Windows 10 was released, updated for the new OS, put an SSD to give more subsidy, adding memory and 16 GB is now running on a Micron 256SSD.

Recently, Windows 1607 came out, I got the update and noticed that my internal webcam does not work. I thought about updating everything I can find and saw a new firmware version F.27. Downloaded, run the executable file, looks very promising and then restart that he arrested! If there was a way to do it using a USB via Windows executable, I can do it but it's too late.

Can you please help me restore / recover my BIOS of laptop computers? Now if I turn on my laptop, the screen is blank and I cannot see that the WiFi led is lit in orange. I tried windows + B key too and if I do that I can see the caps lock flashes two times goes off, Wifi led remains lit in orange, then after a few seconds caps lock flashes again. I am so desperate to fix this again and I don't want to throw it.

Can someone in the HP please help or anyone who has the experience to restore / recover my BIOS?

I downloaded sp77669.exe and sp66782.exe, followed steps http://support.hp.com/nz-en/document/c02693833 but it does not give me the next step to extract it on USB, it just runs and tries to attempt to run the executable insyde. Of course it will fail because I use a HP device just for this previous bios on a USB key. Step in here is misleading in some way, because I don't get the option to create the usb bios recovery. I tried to use 7zip to open the executable file and I can find all the files Roma or bin inside.

I fixed it now! hoooooray!

Here are the steps so I did... and then summarize

(1) removed the CMOS battery for a day (24 h), battery not attached either.

2A) set the CMOS battery

2 (b) connected AC, you press the Windows key + B, then held the power button for 3-4 seconds and then release

(3) did not work

(4) tried again, repeated step 2, still nothing

I went desperate... you need a HP HDD to another machine that still have the recovery partition.

(5) power removed, removed my SSD drive temporarily took my netbook HP HARD drive and put it on my computer pavilion laptop of m6.

(6) repeat step 2

(7) not working, lock shift always blink and light up orange Wifi signal

(8) turned off, which held the power button for 30secs or more

(9) repeated a step 2 again and viola, the LCD turns on again, then I got an invalid checksum error CMOS and says it will reset the bios Setup with its previous version and I saw it from 0 to 100%. I don't have what it does in time so I let him finish and it restarts and started access my OS HARD drive, of course I don't want to start from it, so I just shot it extinguished/turned on and tested so it will try to start now and he did.

(10) off, place my SSD back and restarted

(11) happy again...

Just so to be sure it it will always start upward and to confirm what version of bios, ive got, I stopped him again.

Check the bIOS version and I got the latest bios version f.27 LMAO! This thing happened to step 9 0-100% must be a continuation of the update stopped. It didn't reset it instead it just finished off the coast of the update. isn't that great! Perhaps maybe this a defect on the update of hp in the process. (With 1) win10 OS and 2) an SSD is maybe a problem with the update process if you do the OS, I'm just speculating. The operating system that is supported on the site isn't until Win8, although technically, they are the same win8 family and 10 but who knows. I suggest if you got the same setup as mine, do the update regardless of the OS, start from a USB Pendrive and up-to-date in this way if you'll be lucky to find a bootable version.

  • HP Pavilion dv4-1120br: doubts about the BIOS update for my model with the operating system current instaled.

    Hello

    I have a HP Pavilion dv4-1120br, I know that this model of HP laptop is old, but I instaled the 64 bit of Windows 10 on my machine and saw that my BIOS is version F.30 and the last of them available on the site of HP F.66 has.

    The problem is that this model is not suport for Windows 10 because, as I said, is too old. Can I download and run the update of the BIOS for Windows 7 64-bit available in the Web site, or I need to downgrade my OS to Windows 7, update the BIOS and then pass it back to Windows 10?

    Thanks for the help!

    Cantarino

    Hello;

    Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

    Your second proposal is correct - as the updates to the BIOS on the HP site are specific to the OS version and if you try to run one for Win7 in Win10, it will refuse to run.

    Good luck

  • Dead laptop after the BIOS update. How can I restore original BIOS?

    Model: HP Pavilion m7-1015dx

    Original OS: Windows 7

    Current operating system: 64-bit Windows 8

    Problem:

    I tried to update the BIOS by using this file:

    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-124651-1&cc=us&DLC=en&LC=en...

    Release: 2013-10-08
    File name: sp63801.exe [1/1, 6.56 M]
    Version F.29

    He gave me a Blue Screen of Death and the computer restarted. After the restart I only get a black screen, the fan comes on but there is no text and no way to access the BIOS, or the start menu.

    The led caps lock starts to blink twice, then stops for 1 ~ second then blinks twice again and again, indefinitely. This, according to HP, suggests a failure of the BIOS Corruption.

    What I tried:

    I do not have the HP recovery partition, so I tried to install the two update of UEFI BIOS HP SoftPAQ and HP UEFI support SoftPAQ environment on a FAT32 USB key named HP_TOOLS. I tried these tools separately, at the same time. I tried them with 3 different bios downloaded from this site. I hold the button windows and B, then turn on the computer. Nothing happens. I tried Fn and B, holding them for different periods, there are no beeps, no text on the screen, nothing. The led on the USB key blinks ten times at the beginning and then stops, then starts flashing caps lock. I tried to put the .bin file in different folders in the USB port, including the root, same result. No.SIG file is in the bios I downloaded.

    I am on mobile, excuse the errors. What Miss me?

    The message here by 'jayvastani' seems to work for many. The only thing different from his post a year ago would be to skip step 4. The rest should be all you need. Good luck!

  • ZV5000 - want to get the BIOS update but do not have Windows

    Hello

    just got my trusty zv5000 AMD out of the closet and intend to play with Linux on it.  At the moment there no bone because the HD has not, although I noticed that the BIOS is a former F.21 and would get to you last F.35.    Unfortunately, it seems that I can only do the update of the BIOS if I am running Windows.

    Wondering if there is a bootable ISO or floppy image available that I can use to do the update.  I prefer not to have to locate a copy of Windows, install on a new HD just to update the BIOS.

    Thanks for any help on this

  • PLEASE HELP WITH THE BIOS UPDATE!

    Hello, I have a hp pavilion g6 - 1202sa laptop, I installed windows 7 (64-bit), I was wondering if I can update my bios of f.35 to f.43 without any problems?

    the reason why I ask because on another forum a guy said I have to uninstall windows 7 and install windows vista and then update my bios and after that re-install windows 7, if I don't like that while he says I will brick my phone.

    could you please let me know if this is true or is it aload of shit.

    Thank you

    Hello

    You can see on the HP document under this Bios version f.43 is supported for Windows 7 (both 32-bit or 64-bit versions).

    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-100657-1&cc=us&DLC=en&LC=en&OS=4063&product=5182525&sw_lang=

    The only point I would make, as there is always the potential for something to go wrong when the bios update, is unless the new version fixes a problem you already have, or add the features you need, I would not disturb no risk.

    Kind regards

  • Satellite L300-1 has 3 - after the BIOS update, I get a BSOD

    I have a Satellite L300 1A 3 MODEL PSLB8E. I decided to update the version of the BIOS, thinking that he can resolve my issue of ethernet controller.

    But after the update, my laptop goes on infinite blue screen of death. How can I recover from this injury?

    Can someone please help.

    Hello

    Did you choose the good BIOS update for your model? Was it for Satellite L300 PSLB8E?

    What code you get BSOD?

    After the BIOS update you must always load the default settings. Maybe a bad BIOS setting is causing this BSOD.

  • Can't do the BIOS update for Portégé R500 (PPR50E)

    I have a Portege R500 PPR50E with Vista Business pre-installed model. I am wanting to move to Windows 7 and so initially I want to update the BIOS of 1.5 to 1.6. I got the correct file from Toshiba (bios-20080325071859 containing P0058v160.exe), but when I try to run the application, it fails with "this computer is not supported.
    I checked several times that I downloaded the file for the R500.

    Can anyone help?

    Hello

    That s strange.
    Did you change something on you installed Vista?

    In different cases, the BIOS cannot be updated because some essential tools such as the common modules for Win XP has not been installed.
    If you are using vista you don't need common modules but I recommend reinstalling the VAP.
    Then you should try to rerun the update of the BIOS.

    Otherwise use the recovery disk and computer laptop back to factory settings.
    After the laptop has been set to the same State as on the first day of purchase, you can run the BIOS update.

    Thank you

  • Satellite L300D - does not load after the BIOS update

    I had to update my bios & it seems that that wrong has been downloaded about 3% by installing the laptop just die and not to revert to.

    There is no lights & there is no noise from the laptop at all.

    Can any ideas on how I fix?

    The laptop is a Toshiba Satellite L300D

    Hello

    Well, if the BIOS update crashed you can do anything because the ROM module needs to be reflashed. This is possible only with special tools and only an authorized service provider has such tools.

    Then please contact the nearest service Toshiba and ask for help :)

    In any case to come back before upgrade?

    Hi evangny,

    I also Tecra A11 in front of me and have installed latest version of BIOS but this didn't affect all installed programs. BIOS and installed programs are different.
    What you can do is load the default settings in the BIOS after the update.

    Can you be a bit more detailed?
    What exactly happens if you try to start these programs? You get an error message?

    You use the version preinstalled Windows from Toshiba?
