Self Extracting BIOS upgrade fails

I have a Pavilion 15-n096ea with the original BIOS.  I think that sp64555 is the upgrade of the BIOS for this.

The downloaded file works on Windows and can either upgrade the BIOS, create a bootable USB drive that upgrades the BIOS or just put the BIOS firmware on disk for future use.

I went for the second option because I can't use the first because I am not running Windows on my laptop.

My problem is that if I create the USB bootable on another laptop (not HP) which is running Windows 8.1, sp64555 seems well and told me that the USB was created and to insert it in the correct computer and restart.

However, when inserting it into my house, I tells me that the USB drive is not bootable.  I tried this with 3 different stick, which one had a top first bootable filesystem I tested to work.  That, to me, shows that the Pavilion and the USB key work properly, but the image created by the download may not correctly create the USB.  I tried to create the USB for Windows XP also, but the software has not found the USB key.

I'm doing something wrong?

Just for the closure.  I ended up saving all of my work on an extrnal-hard disk before you reinstall Windows 8 on the laptop in order to apply the upgrade of the BIOS.  Which had been applied once, I reinstalled Linux on the laptop and restored the files.

Work a day of total to see that upgrading the BIOS does not resolve the problem, I had in the first place!

As the upgrade procedure. I noticed that with Windows installed, gave me the option of updating the BIOS from the menu of boot UEFI (ESC key at startup).  I think there's some added additional UEFI software when it is reinstalled Windows on the laptop which is used to upgrade the BIOS.  There is also choice was diagnosed with additional system in the menu too.  When I installed Linux, I chose to delete the Windows UEFI system partition and in the process lost the BIOS upgrader and diagnostic tools.

  • Pavilion x 2 P3K81EA #ABU: BIOS Version fails to install

    HP Support Assistant offers several times the "Doritos 2.0 system BIOS version.  I select the update and it appears to download and then the installation stage takes a long time before appears a box that says that the installation has failed.

    I would not recommend installing the updates to the bios via Support Assistant. From personal experience, they fail. Go to your product support page software and drivers and check for correct bios upgrade and download from there.

  • Satellite M300 - Sound driver for Vista 64 says upgrade failed

    I just reinstall my M300 with Vista 64 and I have the problem with the audio driver (I have download this Toshiba site).

    It says upgrade failed or something.

    > I have sounds coming out of the speaker, but the quality is very low
    This means that the audio driver has been installed correctly!
    To increase the volume, you must go to control panel-> sound and need to check if the volume control is defined at the top level.

    By the way; This laptop seems to belong to Toshiba US series.
    Therefore, you should check the Toshiba USA for drivers and BIOS update:

    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.

  • X 360 HP spectrum: spectrum HP x 360 BIOS upgrade using SCCM

    Hello!

    I'm currently loaded with a BIOS upgrade mass to 500 + HP Spectra x 360 changeable and I was hoping to do this using SCCM 2012 as I already have for other desktop computers and laptops

    Previously, I would have created a cmd file using hpqFlash.exe or HPBIOSUPDREC.exe, however, I can't be working:

    hpqFlash.exe - BIOS is downloaded from HP in an exe format that I can get from .bin & .sig files, but this tool requires a .cab file

    HPBIOSUPDREC.exe - after you have retrieved the BIOS for .bin files, this tool is complaining that they are not in the correct naming convention 2013 BIOS and I get about 4 of each?

    Then. Does anyone have this successful previously? I have to rename the correct naming convention .bin files, if so, how would like to know this?

    * EDIT - we also use bitlocker so it may need to be disabled before a BIOS upgrade? All I really need is the command line and can go from there!

    Thanks in advance!

    According to the HP Support, it couldn't be done... BUT... Turn on you can put a/q on the extracted exe and it will install silently... Not that he mentions that in the BIOS, notes...

    Finished by editing this script below and copied to a location of the account SYSTEM is able to access: https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/Suspend-Bitlocker-and-0e3d43c0

    schtasksCreateCommand = ' schtasks/create /TN "" bitlockerscript"" /XML "«\\domain.local\NETLOGON\HPBIOS\bitlockerscript.xml»»»

    (I used an .xml file to give me more options on the task even on battery, because we want this task to force bitlocker on the drive to the next opening, if it worked or not).

    Then, creating a new application in SCCM with source files (containing a copy of the script) pointing to a batch file that contains:

    cscript.exe bitlockerstatus.vbs
    Timeout/t 10
    0804FF35.exe/q
    Timeout/t 600

    (Waiting times were just for me to ensure that the system BIOS before SCCM installation asks for a restart).

    To force the restart I changed the return codes:

    Soft reboot 0

    1707 soft reboot

    3010 soft reboot

    Finally... I created a rule of detection using this script below to detect the installed BIOS version:

    "Change of strBIOSUpdateVersion to the version that you deploy.
    strBIOSUpdateVersion = "F.35.
    ' Get the Version of the BIOS from Win32_BIOS
    Set objWMI = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\.\root\cimv2")
    Set colBIOS = objWMI.ExecQuery ("Select * from Win32_BIOS")
    For each objBIOS in colBIOS
    If objBIOS.SMBIOSBIOSVersion > = strBIOSUpdateVersion Then
    WScript.Echo "detected".
    End If
    Next

  • Oops! Aspire Z1620 - UR31P BIOS upgrade - Windows 10

    It's 'oops' as in, oops, when I upgraded my Aspire Z1620-UR31P (Windows 7) and Aspire E1-732-4651 (8.1 Windows) Windows 10 I have not noticed the asterisk Acer community important: "Please make sure that upgrade the BIOS before upgrading to Windows 10." Because of installation - especially with the unit Windows 7 problems - I was forced in one installs own for both machines. So, as discussed on this forum, when you perform a clean installation of Windows 10 a key product already is located in the BIOS and is read from the BIOS by installing Windows 10 and authenticated to the first connection by the web. Considering a digital facility right I guess it's too late to follow the BIOS upgrade alert, because I'll lose 10 Windows activation. Am I wrong?
    At the moment the two machines operate smoothly with Windows 10, but unlike the E1 the Z1620 fails repeatedly to accept the first update Windows 10 major: "Upgrading to Windows 10 Home, Version 1511, 10586." Two-thirds in the update comes a blue screen hang up, requiring a hard stop, failure to automatically restore the update, and finally an automatic restoration of the earlier Windows 10 build after the message: "error updating Windows 10 0xC1900101 - 0 x 40017. Installation failed in phase SECOND_BOOT with an error during the START operation. »

    You should be able to upgrade the BIOS, even if this first version of Windows 10 is already installed. The Windows key will remain during the upgrade of the BIOS.

    How much space you have on the C drive? It is possible that the upgrade of 1511 fails with an out of space error... They are quite cryptic with error codes.

  • G550 BIOS Update Fail

    Hello...

    I am a proud user of laptop Lenovo G550

    No problem so far, up to what I tried to update the BIOS.

    I followed the instructions by the book, but when I press on install on archive self-extracting, extract starts and i to get the code: error 5

    Problem seems to be that I have the privilege of the administration, even if I have the administrator account and it is password protected.

    Program seems to start (the BIOS update software) and then the error popup saying phlashnt.sys driver could not be loaded and that I should reboot and log in as administrator.

    My first thought was that my anti-virus software is the cause, so I turned off and tried again, but that has no effect. I use free Comodo Internet Security Premium.

    More respect for you people to support staff and I hope that a solution for this.

  • 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.

  • Memory upgrade fails

    My laptop Presario R3200 3 year old came with 256 MB of RAM.  A couple of years, I've added another chip of RAM of 256 MB without problem.  The low price of RAM these days, I decided to upgrade to a full 2 GB.

    I bought two 1 GB chips from a reliable company, installed the new circuits and booted the laptop.  The fan came, the disk light flashed twice and nothing else happened.  I spent about an hour of troubleshooting on mine, called the seller of the chip and talked with their tech support, then tried their suggestions.  Nada.  Still called the supplier of chips and they suggested that maybe my BIOS is outdated.  I put back the original of the RAM in the system rebooted normally and is here to see what I could find on the upgrades to the BIOS.

    First of all, I was wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience with a R3000 notebook PC series.  If so, do you have the operation of RAM and how did you do?

    Thank you, John Kinney

    Thanks for the comments.

    Finally, I'm in conversation with a HP technician and went through different options.  The memory I bought is the correct type, however, after checking the laptop computer real product only. It seems that the laptop is configured only to recognize the 1 GB of RAM.  There is a BIOS upgrade, but the techie said that would probably not increase the limitation of memory.  It has been suggested that I have let a 256 MB chip in the keyboard slot and put one of the 1 GB chip in the second slot.  I tried and it didn't work until I put the * other * 256 MB Chip under the keyboard and added a chip of 1 GB in the second slot.  The laptop then started normally and seems to recognize 1.25 GB of RAM.  Apparently, there was a problem any with one of the chips original 256 MB, which was probably what caused all the mishaps and slow behaviorto begin with.

    Immeduately after the addition of the 1 GB chip, I met a few spontaneous reboots and messages half a dozen "your computer has recovered from a serious error".  Those who have not reoffended.  The laptop is now a little bit faster than it was before, and otherwise seems to work normally.

    I have a Satellite P200, (PSPB6E-03G01XFR).
    Yesterday, after attempting to update my BIOS version with the windows application, my phone was cut.

    I downloaded the new version of the bios of Toshiba-Europe Web site (v2.30) and I tried to use the Crisis_Recovery_Disk but no result. :(
    Can someone help me please?

  • Satellite U400 - 112 (PSU40E) - Safe BIOS upgrade - SOLUTION

    Dear all,

    Trying since long upgrade for the bios of my laptop favorite... Toshiba Satellite U400-112 (PSU40E)
    I have Windows 7 Ultimate (64-bit) English and BIOS version 4.00(until yesterday).
    The problem was that, in windows 7 (32 & 64 bit), the tool flash never started the process of update due to several incompatibilities.
    There is a solution (in fact a workaround solution) to be honest and works 100%!

    My solution is:

    (A) download the latest bios upgrade version appropriate for your laptop, save it (tomake it is easier in the root of the C:\ drive) and unpack it in a temporary folder (for example: bios).

    (B) use the Hiren's Boot CD a real support from a USB or CD (download and burn a CD or follow the process of CD copy on a USB key).

    (C) boot the laptop from the CD or USB flash and in Hiren's Boot Menu, select the version of mini Windows XP.

    (D) allow completely Windows XP startup and then run the tool to update the bios flash from the temporary folder. The update procedure make it exactly as it is described in the manual of the bios update. (If you are not experienced)

    (E) it will update the bios, and then he stops himself. Then you can start normally your operating system, remove any CD or USB key mounted on it.

    I hope you find it helpful and convenient.

    Best regards

    Ioannis

    To be honest I updated the BIOS on my U400 (running Win 7 32 bit), A210 (Vista) and Tecra A10 (Win 7 64 bit) using the victory as the BIOS version and never had any problems in running the tool
    Anyway thanks for sharing your knowledge with the community

    In my experience the special drive is required, which is available only for ASP technician

    Hello!

    I updated Win Win XP.

    Hi Aki

    You can upgrade Windows ME to Windows XP without updating the BIOS!

    The update of the BIOS would not affect the installation of Windows XP.

    Perhaps an important fact is not known to you;
    The update of the BIOS is always risky and should ONLY be done to fix some bugs.

    In your case, it seems that you want to change only the operating system and therefore the update of the BIOS is not really necessary on your Sam 1800.

    Anyway, if you looking for XP drivers then you might find it on the page of the European driver Toshiba-> * area of ARCHIVE
