  Package for the TOSHIBA BIOS ver.3.2.9
  Unsupported product type is installed.
  Package BIOS BIOS Version: Ver.1.80

  is my version of windows: windows server 2008 Enterprise Edition x 64 SP1 (don't ask why, I just have to run Server 2008)

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Your OS windows seems not to be the Windows which was preinstalled on your Portege
  You cannot update the BIOS by using the windows server 2008 Enterprise Edition x 64

  You will need to put the system which has been pre-installed by Toshiba

• Is Tecra S5 - useful to update the BIOS?

  Recently, I bought a laptop Tecra S5 and yesterday I noticed an update of the BIOS on the Toshiba site.

  I googled a lot searched this forum and found a lot of discussion about people having problems after updating (flashing) the BIOS. So I want to ask you if the update worth it, and if someone with an S5 did. Could someone also tell me if there is a way to ensure that you can roll back previous BIOS version after that an update does not?

  The laptop is precious to me and since living in this time of financial crisis means that I won't be able to buy a new one if I screw this up I want to be sure. Thanks in advance.

  EDIT: I forgot to mention that I installed Vista 64 due to having 4 GB of RAM.

  Hello

  First a BIOS update is not required if your laptops gently. Never touch a running system ;)
  A BIOS update is only recommended if you have any problem with him, for the memory vivid example not properly recognized or so.

  I only updated the BIOS of my laptop if I have problems with it, and that means that I have updated the BIOS on my Toshiba notebooks 3 times yet. I m not a Tecra S5 owner but I never had a problem with the BIOS updates. Some people who said that the update of the BIOS didn't forgot to read some instructions how to do this:
  Before you start an update of the BIOS, you must close all running programs and close all background processes that you don't need. Also your antivirus and firewall should be disabled and must be signed in as an administrator. Don t forget to connect the AC/DC adapter, before start you.
  If you follow these tips, normally the BIOS update must be done successfully.

  A BIOS to a previous version downgrade is possible that anuthroized service provider. This means that you can downgrade it yourself.
  But the newer versions are pre-tested Toshiba and should not cause more problems as before. Newer versions of BIOS problems.

  I hope I could help a bit! :)

• Portege R700 - cannot update the BIOS

  Hello
  I recently bought a Portege R700 19 M and I downloaded the latest BIOS version available in the Toshiba support page and when I run the .exe file, it does not work with this message: "the computer is not supported.
  And when I look in the HWSetup Toshiba tool, it does not display the BIOS version but some weird characters (letters not usual) so I can't find out which version is installed.
  Thank you for your help

  Hey Buddy,

  You update the BIOS to the version preinstalled Windows from Toshiba?
  Are you logged on as administrator when you try the update?

  To be honest I doubt a problem to update the BIOS because I found other threads where users report that BIOS update was successful.

• Qosmio G30 PQG31E - no driver XP 32? Cannot update the BIOS?

  As usual, obtained a computer laptop, but no recovery CD :(

  Got 32 installed XP (my Microsoft contract does not MCE) but a lot of missing drivers. Driver Toshiba page has all the drivers for XP MCE, XP 32 has only BIOS update, Bluetooth, HD - DVD firmwares, the virtual sound and drivers WI - FI!

  So I tought "Vista on this issue", but I checked the compatibility XP with Vista DVD I got a 'need to update the BIOS' (always a 1.40-2006/03/10)!
  My problem is that BIOS update always returns "this computer is not supported! Laptop has only one account, this isn't permissions problem, perhaps because many drivers are not present? Can I update the BIOS in safe mode?

  What now? Am stuck with a brick of Qosmio? Without controllers LAN to say the least, I can't not fact! Drivers XP MCE does work on XP 32?

  Any thoughts?

  Hello

  I found all the Win XP drivers for Qosmio G30 PQG31E!
  On the European driver Toshiba page, you can find the Win XP MCE drivers
  XP MCE drivers are the same drivers for Win XP Home or Pro.

  There are also some BIOS 3, 90-WIN and this BIOS is operating system independent. In other words, it works with Win XP and Vista...

  To update the BIOS the common Module must be installed
  You can find also on the European driver Toshiba page!

• Tecra M3 - cannot update the BIOS

  Hello

  I have a Tecra M3 (PTM30E) and TEMPRO says they are 2 updates of bios for the computer.
  I downloaded, but when I run it I tells me that the computer is not supported. How to upgrade the BIOS?

  Best wishes

  Michael

  Why in the hell do you need a BIOS update?
  Only because the Tempro said that there is a new update?

  TEMPRO sends only a notification that a new file has been downloaded
  It s not a recommendation that you have so far!

  So if your laptop runs without problem don't update anything!

  I always took this advice; never change a running system! And it of really wise counsel

• HP Pavilion Elite HPE-270e cannot update the bios

  HP Pavilion Elite HPE-270e desktop PC

  Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

  I have a problem running the sp49903.exe that contains the last update of the bios for my pc. My antivirus is disabled, no other programs are running, I am logged in as administrator and also tried to run as administrator, but that I always meet the same problem.

  HP Pavilion Elite HPE - 270e Desktop PC product specifications

  Software downloads & Driver - HP Pavilion Elite HPE-270e desktop PC

  you try to download a new copy of it?

  I did and it worked.

  try to download and try to install on another PC and see if the error is the same. It will not install on another PC, it checks to see what the BIOS is the first. But the error you report no has nothing to do with the BIOS, it tells me the downloaded file is corrupt and since I just tried to download and install and it worked, it tells me the file on the server is good.

  Good luck

• Satellite A500 - cannot update the BIOS (error message)

  Hello

  I have a PSAR3A - 02U002 Satellite A500 with BIOS version 1.9 is installed.

  After reading several forums, I discovered that there may be a BIOS (v2.0) update available to resolve the current problem, these Satellites have with overheating cooling switch down.

  Excited, I have tried to install the new BIOS - this is what I get:

  "There is an error occurred, please check below the elements."
  BIOS version more than 200.
  Battery capacity more than 10%.
  AC is fixed. »

  First of all, my BIOS version is 190, no more than 200. Second, I find it very difficult to believe that the battery must be less than 10%. And third, I don't see what that remove the power supply cable will do.

  Please note that this update of the BIOS found on Toshiba's European website, but v2.0 claims to be a worldwide release. I then checked on the Australian site and there is no BIOS for my model. I don't know how to interpret this contradiction.

  Help, please!

  Hi umm_excuse_me,

  So I think that BIOS update is not available at this time for you. European and Australian models have different model numbers, so I doubt that the update of the BIOS is always the same. The pieces of equipment may also be different.

  In your case, I would wait until the BIOS was released on the page Australian too.

  By the way: where did you read that this update was release in the world?

• DCC - cannot update the BIOS via command line settings

  I'm script an automated installation of Bitlocker on Windows 7 and 8.1 systems (company).  I use the last DCC and programs CCTK that came with it.  Systems have the latest BIOS updates, and are fully patched.

  I managed with several test systems (Win7, desktop computers, laptop computers (different models)).  I tried my scripts this morning on a laptop computer Win8.1 (Dell E6330) and as soon as my script runs to the addition of the password of the BIOS needed to make TPM changes ("cctk - setuppwd =" "") I get the following error:

  The required BIOS interfaces is not found on this system.

  I get the same error when running any other command CCTK used in my script:
  CCTK - tpm =-valsetuppwd =
  Activate CCTK - tpmactivation = - valsetuppwd =

  When I restart in the BIOS, no password has been set (all parameters are say no 'set') and the secure platform module is inactive.

  I updated to the latest BIOS (A14) and I get the above error message.  I know that orders CCTK I have scripted are correct, because they work on other systems.

  I wonder what could be the problem with this notebook and how I can come up with a solution.

  Thoughts?  Suggestions?

  Thank you!

  -Greg

  Just a quick update to let everyone know how I solved this:

  I had to install HAPI.

  On all other facilities that I have tested, just have the HAPI subfolder in the folder where CCTK. EXE was hosted was sufficient for work.  But for some reason some, in this case, once I installed HAPI and then ran my scripts again, they finished without a problem.

  I hope this helps someone else.  Seemed to be a solution simply absurd, but it is what it is.

  Hello

  You cannot update the BIOS under Linux and using a victory based version of the BIOS.
  You will need to use the image of preinstalled Toshiba.
