• HP Probook s 4440: the update of the BIOS under Linux

  Hello

  My laptop (HP Probook 4440 s) is in the list of laptops with BIOS updates related to security issues [1].

  But I'm on Linux, for which no updates seems to be available [2], although there is an update of the BIOS available for Windows [3]?

  Could someone tell me how to get and apply this update via Linux...

  THX,

  I did recently on my HP ProBook 450 G2 Kubuntu Linux 15.10 running.

  A new version of the BIOS (01.16 Rev.A 1 December 2015) was available, but for Windows only.

  What I had to do to install the BIOS under Linux:

  * Download the exe file (for example: sp74048.exe): this is an archive

  * unpack with 7zip

  * go to my laptop configuration: restart, press [ESC] >

  Configuration of the BIOS F10 > MAIN > system update BIOS > BIOS update using local media

  * read the instructions:

  "Place the system on a FAT32 partition no BIOS BIN file more

  on the system or on a removable USB hard drive

  under the folder "Hewlett-Packard\BIOS\New.

  Then, add or verify that the HP Bios update utility (HpBiosUpdate.efi)

  and the signature file (HpBiosUpdate.s12) are

  on the same partition FAT32 under

  the path to the following folder: "Hewlett-Packard\BIOSUpdate. »

  * Take a flash drive, create the folder ""Hewlett-Packard\BIOS\ " "

  copy the whole folder "BIOSUpdate" since the original installation file for her

  create the "New" folder and copy the bin on it (in my case "M74_0116.bin")

  * If at the end, the flash drive looks like this:

  \---Hewlett-Packard

  + - BIOS

  | \---New

  |      Mxx_xxxx. bin

  |

  \---BIOSUpdate

  all files here

  * place the flash drive in the laptop and "BIOS update using local media" hit the button [I accept] below "the system BIOS will be updated immediately.'." "

  Then update the BIOS HP appears saying: the system BIOS is updated day. > writing new BIOS Image. > Veryfying new BIOS Image. > restart.

  Fact.

  It is really beyond me why HP does not provide a simple archive with the appropriate directory structure and a readme file so that anyone could update the BIOS regardless of operating system.

  Warning: I'm just an average Linux user. This procedure worked for me, but before use, you must consider the risks for yourself. You SHOULD know what you're doing.

• Satellite P200 - update of the BIOS under Vista x 64

  Hello

  I downloaded the update of the BIOS on the toshiba site (1.70 WIN). I can't run on Vista x 64.

  Is it possible to update my BIOS?

  Thank you very much
  Simon.

  Hello!

  > I have trouble running as she complains the PHLASHNT.sys driver.
  Sorry, but I don't understand what you mean. It's not clear to me.

  I downloaded the package to update the BIOS for your Satellite P200 (PSPBGE). It contains the setup.exe file and the file ROM.
  Extract the two files to a folder and run the installer as administrator.

  Good bye

• Satellite A200-193 - update of the BIOS under Linux

  Hi all

  I have a 3 years old Toshiba Satellite A200 - 193 (PSAEC), purchased in France, it's apparently not released in the United States - or not under the reference of thos - because I can't find it in the database of the Toshiba bios. (I could post in a french forum, but there is no such support :-/)

  The bios is a Phoenix, v1.30. This bios is known to have a bug inside, preventing the unofficial OS and not patched like linux to properly treat the acpi (control of the fan in particular). The temperature is higher than it should be.

  I tried to update my bios to 1.80 through the en of the toshiba site, but I and draw attention to say "this bios should only be used with Vista.
  OK, so it's purely disgraceful given the specific instructions of OS have NOTHING to do inside of a bios, what are my options?

  Has anyone installed this BIOS? He end up by properly?

  Thank you very much

  Hey Buddy,

  Please don t get me wrong, but Toshiba doesn't provide any support for Linux. This means that you search yourself for drivers or solutions and that s why the BIOS update is only Windows Vista supported.

  This means that if you want to do this update, you must install the operating system preinstalled Toshiba, I think that in this case Vista. Then, you are able to update the BIOS.

• Satellite A200 - 23Q - update of the BIOS under Linux

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A200 23 Q (PSAE6) computer laptop,
  My OS is Ubuntu 12.04 (but I already used Windows Vista, older versions of Ubuntu and Fedora)

  and I have a problem with the BIOS.

  Y at - he no download available for making a day, or even downgrade? D I prefer the first version or henriq one old, because I know it worked fine

  Thank you

  Way General Toshiba does not support Linux and BIOS update can be done on Linux. All available BIOS updates are versions of Windows and can be updated with Windows operating system.

  Out of curiosity, but what type of problem do you have with the current version of BIOS?

• Satellite P100-437 - the update of the BIOS under Linux?

  Hello

  How can I update my BIOS when I only installed Linux? Your BIOS updates require windows.

  Thanks for the reply

  Hello

  First of all what laptop you have exactly?

  Normally the BIOS can only be updated on Windows so you need to install Windows to update the BIOS. The point is that the BIOS update is possible on OS preinstalled and that s not Linux. ;)

  Alternative, you can contact an authorized service provider. Maybe they can update the BIOS in DOS mode via disk or floppy disk. It s worth a try

• Tecra A8-185 - the update of the BIOS under Windows 7?

  Hi again,

  I have a question how update of the BIOS under Windows 7 ultimate x 64. I downloaded the latest version of the BIOS for my laptop (Toshiba Tecra A8-185 PTA83E). After having unpacked there is only the .exe file.

  When I try to run this file, he said, that my OS is not supported. When I run it in compatibility mode (with Vista or XP), it starts the upgrade, but gives me an error: "the BIOS upgrade is failure (8). BIOS is not able on this configuration. "What should I do? I really need a new BIOS.

  Can I run it at the start of the USB key, or whatever?

  Hi offi55

  Why do you need a new BIOS? You may notice some problems with the laptop or why are you trying to update?

  However, I think that the update should only be done on the pre-installed Windows version (XP or Vista). I guess that this update n t tested and designed to update Windows 7 so I think that would be the reason why you can t.

  So to install Windows from the Toshiba Recovery disk and try to update again. It should work.

• Portege Z930: The update of the BIOS with LINUX/UNIX OS

  Hello.

  I manage a COMPUTER company, and some of our facilities are portege z930.

  We use Linux as main OS, and in order to use all the disk space, we erased the Windows partition.

  How can I update the BIOS of a Linux operating system? I asked a support company official technichal, and they told me that they use a special live linux CD managed by Toshiba.

  I don't know if I can get this cd somehow live. If this isn't the case, I would like to know how to upgrade our Bios without having to reinstall the Windows operating system.

  Thanks in advance!

  As far as I know on the download page of the BIOS that Toshiba offers the Windows version only. Of way General Linux is not supported.
  Try to contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help. Maybe they can get this special CD.

  By the way: why you didn t prepared machine (BIOS update) before starting to install Linux?

• Update of the BIOS under Windows 7 and XP

  I have XP on C:\ and you want to install windows 7 on D:\ and my friend did the same thing without any problem.
  but my big question is after I installed win7 on D: and XP on C: when I try to install/update the BIOS for windows 7 then what happened to XP?

  thnx.

  Sounds like you don t know this BIOS, it's exactly the BIOS has nothing to do with the software or the operating system that you are installing.

• Satellite L840 - update of the BIOS and the blue screen

  Hello

  I recently bought a Toshiba L840-04f (PSK8LA - O4E007) and installed Windows 7 64-bit.

  Problem: BlueScreen

  Question: I guess it's the dreaded "blue screen of death' and I need to do something to prevent servious problems in the future (I used the laptop slightly for a few days with no problems).

  How to analyze the dump of information to find out what caused the blue screen?

  Or is it better to make it back in the last restore point before the blue screen event? A restore point was made until I updated the BIOS to v 1.80 to 6.20. In addition, Toshiba shows that there is a new version of BIOS 6.30.

  Before the blue screen event I had changed the setting of the 'close' button on/off and made some other minor changes to settings and then I connected a Seagate external hard drive just before the Blue error screen.

  Y at - it suggestions on what steps should I take?

  Thank you very much.

  Hello

  The BSOD appears usually due to software problem or hardware problem.
  You said that you have connected an external USB HDD to the computer just before the BSOD appeared so likely the BSOD was caused by the attached HARD disk who knows

  If that happened for the first time, don't be afraid, maybe it's just a time issue
  But if he appears often, you should study some more and must try to reproduce the problem and the reason

• Satellite A110-180 - update of the Bios for Windows 7 and Linux

  Hello

  I want to change the following settings in my bios on my laptop satellite A110-180
  * AHCI for SATA
  Disable the IDE

  But none of these options.
  So I thought that maybe I should update my bios.
  I found the download page, but there are 2 options: Windows Vista or NO vista, but I want to dual boot windows 7 and linux.

  Which one should I download, or is there another option to change the settings?

  Thank you!
  Bart

  Hello

  Satellite A110 does not support these options (SATA AHCI).
  The update of the BIOS will not help you!

  Linux is not supported and therefore, you will not find any special BIOS for Linux OS!

  The two BIOS updates are for Win Vista or OS independent.
  Therefore, if you use other than Vista OS then you should throw the update of the independent BIOS to the BONE!

  But as mentioned above; both options will not appear after the BIOS update!

• Satellite Pro C660 bricked by update of the BIOS that failed

  My sister asked me to update his laptop (Toshiba Satellite Pro C660-16N; The part number PSC0ME-01S00SEN) of Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit) of Windows 8 (64-bit).
  So I did.

  Then I went UK from Toshiba Web site to check if there are any drivers I had to install for Windows 8. The only one was an update of the BIOS (for BIOS v1.70). I don't know what was the previous BIOS version number.

  So I run the update application in Windows 8. Phoenix WinPhlash Technologies starts and then in the middle of the update, everything freezes.

  The trackpad would not move the cursor or anything like that. I had no choice but to disconnect the phone from the wall and remove the battery. The laptop is not under warranty.

  Of course, now it won't turn. It will beep once when I press the power button, but the system does not light. A few minutes later, it looks like one long beep and two short beeps. It then keeps repeating this sequence every two minutes "one long beep, 2 short beeps".

  I google and read the site after the blog after the post on the forum, but nothing works. Links to the software offered on these forums/blogs/Web sites in french are usually dead, so I can't try what they suggest.

  The most common solution is the Phoenix crisis recovery tool. I managed to download v1.0.0.4 which is supposed to allow me to make a bootable USB key. The version of this tool that I downloaded is supposed to be for a Lenovo ThinkPad X 200. I have the correct BIOS.rom to C660 Pro Satellite (I renamed BIOS.wph and copied to the appropriate folder).

  I followed all the instructions, but it doesn't seem to work. Some sites say if it happens, I have the wrong version of phlash16.exe. Some other sites say that HP Boot Disk USB Utility should be used, but I don't know how to use it.

  What I really need, is a definitive step by step foolproof guide to know what to do, with links to the files/tools to use for this model of laptop. I will follow this blindly (which I don't really understand what makes each step, I just do it with no understanding,) so if anyone can help me with this, please write a guide like an idiot!

  If anyone can help me with this, I appreciate it. I'm really in a difficult situation - I can't really afford to pay a Toshiba ASP to fix it, and I can't afford a new laptop certainly. But I also couldn't bring myself to tell my sister, ' it's broken, deal!

  Thanks in advance.

  Perhaps the last comment by the user * gansell1980 * could help you.
  Otherwise, you need help from the Toshiba authorized service if you reflash the BIOS ROM module provider

• Satellite M40 - the update of the BIOS

  I have Satellite M40-184 and I want to Flash the BIOS with a bootable CD, but can't do it.
  I downloaded the bios file - 20070709161345.zip and extract the file, but it gives me error to run the file.
  I extracted the exe with rar and I saw an image file, I burned it but it is not bootable.

  I have not now what to do WHOW can I FLASH THE BIOS NOT BY WINDOWS?
  I read the flashing method, but it has nothing to do with the file that is downloading.

  Hello

  The driver from Toshiba site doesn't provide the traditional BIOS but only the BIOS that can be updated only running Windows OS!

  This means that you will not be able to boot from the floppy drive using the unzipped BIOS file.
  It s .exe file and should be conducted under OS.

  I think it should be clear now.

  By the way; the update of the BIOS is risky and if you use bad BIOS or bad update procedure can damage the ROM. module

• Satellite A210-16f - after the BIOS update pops up a window with password

  Hello

  I tried to update the BIOS on my Toshiba Satellite A210. I downloaded an update from the official site of Toshiba, and then I did everything according to the instructions.
  I've updated the BIOS under Windows.
  Update at the end, a massage "updated successfully" appeared and I just need turn on the computer again.
  So I did, and there was a problem.

  When I turn on my computer now, it shows me a blue window with a password. I don't know password.
  Maybe you know how to disable the password or you know some passwords for Toshiba which corresponding?

  Toshiba doesn t have a sort of universal password, and unfortunately, no one here can help you with this problem.
  I just hope that you have downloaded the good BIOS upgrade for your laptop model.

  The password can be removed by the Toshiba service provider. They can do it in 15 minutes.
  Sorry, but buddy I'm afraid there is nothing you can do about it.
