Update BIOS not in Windows?

Laptop: dv4-5121tx

How to upgrade to recent versions of BIOS from a USB port? I checked MANY pages in this regard. But they all refer to BIOS distributed in different formats and does not work for me.

The BIOS file, sp66897.exe (last version, F.39) and sp60266.exe (previous version known to work, F.34), contains the following files

01837.FD
FlsHook.exe
FlsHookDll.dll
FWUpdLcl.exe
InsydeFlash.exe
iscflash.dll
iscflash.sys
iscflashx64.sys
Platform.ini
Xerces - c_2_7.dll

There is none. BIN for. GIS files.

I copied all the files on USB drive, renamed HP_TOOLS, in Notepad and 01837.fd drive copy of all of the different names appeared in other pages, connect the USB and power on with the Windows key + B down. End result is a black screen and flashing Caps Lock LED.

Is it possible to recent BIOS update from USB? Or can I update in Ubuntu / WinPE or any other bootable device?

Background:

I took the laptop to it to the HP service center. Because I need to use the hard drive (formatted with TPG), I asked to removed the hard drive and HP engineer did. After repair, the laptop says something like «no device startup...» ». It is found that the BIOS has been DOWNGRADED to e.17 (initially F.34), which did not support GPT.

Therefore, I need to update the BIOS and any method that requires the local hard disk is not usable.

The hard drive quick test could run in the BIOS. This means that the hardware is OK. But the laptop doesn't know how to boot from the disc.

I want to solve this problem by myself, because visiting HP Service Center is an EXTERMELY UNPLEASANT experience.

Finally, updated the bios in windows pe.

  • Updates do not download - Windows 8

    I had some problems with my laptop since it upgraded to Windows 10 so I restored the factory settings (Windows 8). To avoid new updates of Windows 10, I asked that I be placed before Windows updates. After the restoration, there are 156 Windows updates, I checked through them and they are all updates of security for Windows 8.1 so I said yes to the installation. The progress bar "download updates" came, but it still says 0% complete and does not change, how can I update these things?

    Thank you very much

  • Java update has not completed windows error code 1603

    When I try to update Java on Windows 7 Pro 64 bit, the Setup program ends with an error message "Java update has not ended. Error code: 1603. Please consult the Help Center Java to correct that information or contact your system administrator. »

    Java Help Center is not useful. It indicates that this is a known issue and is being researched. This status is apparently true for over a year with no resolution, it seems as if not enough resources are devoted to research. The subject alluded to the possible incompatibility with Microsoft MS14-049 KB2918614 security update.

    I uninstalled KB2918614 and still the same error.

    I uninstalled Java 7, rebooted the PC and tried to install Java 8 and got the same error. Then I installed the update of Java 7 79 and it worked, but I can't go beyond Java 7 for an evolutionary support for Java edition.


    These all fail:

    JRE-8u45-windows - i586.exe

    JRE-8u45-windows - x 64 .exe

    JRE-8u60-windows - i586.exe

    JRE-8u60-windows - x 64 .exe


    Favorite using your search engine Internet web searches will bring up many people having the same problem, but no final solution. Variations on uninstall all versions of Java and re - install, change the language to English settings, remove KB2918614, use the Offline Installer, use the installer of auto update online, hack the registry, etc., but it's as if all of this is purely by accident lucky work around solutions and there is no real real an official answer as to what is happening. I tried them all and I still can't get Java 8 to install. I can't update Java.

    1. What is the solution to the 1603 error?
    2. If I stick with Java 7 forever?
    3. And although my OS 64-bit computer, must I install the i586 or x 64 Java, or both?


    Screenshots of the error:

    Java1Capture.JPG

    Java2Capture.JPG

    On a whim, I disabled McAfee VirusScan 8.8 and Alto! installing Java 8 worked.

    There is no message in my logs VSE VSE was the cause. However I saw messages clearly connected "would be blocked by an Access Protection rule (rule is currently not applied)" but in fact, they are apparently put into force and prevent the successful install Java 8. Or at least that's my theory.

    What's new on Java 8 and VSE VSE to prevent installation of Java 8?

  • Windows Update does not load: Windows XP

    RSVP-URGENT! My primary default browser is NOT IE, but I have to use to try to get the UPDATES before it's end of life on October 16, 2014. Please confirm.

    I want to run all Windows updates on it that I can, but now when I try to do with IE, it "cannot find Web site". I ran the network of Diag tool and it says I have no problem connecting and my OTHER browser can search and navigate VERY WELL.

    I do not wish to use IE all the tim, but am forced to use Windows Update. I suspect that Microsoft's servers can be overloaded with a lot of people trying to access Windows Update because they too have Windows XP PRO and try to capture the updates as much as possible before its end of life.

    QUESTION: WINDOWS JUST CRASH AT END OF LIFE OR IT WILL CONTINUE TO WORK, BUT IT JUST WON'T BE ANY MORE UPDATES?

    I think that Microsoft need to disclose all information about this as soon as POSSIBLE! We should not have to buy new equipment, I have to do to keep my computer, and you could lose a client big and long time in this to LINUX instead of Windows.

    Reboot back to start - this is a new laptop - using the BIOS of Toshiba s official download site.

    Quite annoyed to try to find a way to upgrade or downgrade the BIOS.
    Took battery and RAM to see if I can delete it?

    Any ideas anyone?

    I think you mean BIOS * update * and do not upgrade ;)
    An upgrade is not possible

    However, you can try to remove the battery and the AC adapter and wait an hour. After that, reconnect the battery and the AC adapter and try to start Windows.
    Moreover I would load the default settings in the BIOS before starting Windows.

    If it doesn't work, it seems that your ROM module needs to be reflashed. In this case an ASP can help you.
