700-410xt bios update issues with sp70148

The HP support Assistant program notified me to install the Bios Update SP70148 Version 80.20Ap1. I have tried to install it many times to no avail. I've even went directly to this support site and downloaded it directly and it still doesn't install properly.
I've tried running it with my Norton 360 AV turned off - It didn't work
I've tried opening the machine in Windows Safe mode and insatlling, and it didn't install
I've checked the Bios version and it says AMI 80.19 7/18/2014
Each time I go to install it, it will ask me if I want to overwrite existing files and I say yes to all
It then opens up a Command Prommpt windows, it does something and than automatically restarts the computer.
Each time I've checked the Bios and it doesn't change.
Can you offer any advice

Same issue here. Have tried allowing the automatic update and also manually updating. Not sure what the problem is. Also, the bios update alert indicates that this is a critical, security related BIOS update. I'm not sure what in the BIOS would relate to system security, but it seems very important and I hope this is resolved soon.

MSI-6712 BIOS update issues

I have a PC, running XP Pro SP3, which was built for me nigh on 9 years ago.
Motherboard: MSI-6712 (KT4V-L) Version 1.0 (North Bridge KT400A Rev 80, South Bridge VT8235 Rev 00)
CPU: AMD XP2800+ CPU (Socket A 462, 3000 MHz)
Memory: 1.0GB DDR
GPU: nVidia GeForce FX-5200 (128 MB)
About 4 years back I considered updating the BIOS, but the MS LiveUpdate utility (v 3.5 I think it was) no longer worked (wrong URL). Tried updating it, but the update (can’t remember the version) shut down my system whenever I tried to use it. So I rolled back and left it.
Recently, a program I was evaluating (running on .Net 4 Client Profile) caused my PC to freeze up and after uninstalling I discovered all manner of problems with USB peripherals (recognition and auto-play issues).
Tried to restore a backup (Retrospect Express HD) from a Maxtor One Touch III external drive but it wasn’t having it, presumably because of the drive recognition issues, and a straight System Restore wouldn’t complete (because XP would freeze at log off).
I feared there had been hardware damage, but decided to try a clean re-install of XP Pro. The person who built the PC had left a folder of system set up files (VIA chipset 4in1, LAN, RealTek AC97, nVidia drivers, utilities etc) on the hard drive (which I backed up) but when it came to installing XP, I couldn’t figure out which chipset drivers to install, as there were multiple versions (presumably for his purposes). So I let XP install the default windows drivers and then replaced them with the latest VIA 4in1 set for the KT4V-L from the MSI download page (can’t post link) – driver version 5.11a, release 20.4.2007
Seemed to go well, but it was suggested to me that it might be a good time to update the BIOS. So I installed MSI Live Update 5 and ran a scan. Strange thing is that an automatic scan (which pulls up just the nVidia driver and utilities) reports that none are installed and a manual scan reports that the BIOS, Drivers and Utilities are the latest version and no there is need to update. How can that be? I’ve never updated the BIOS and the only other utility I re-installed is PC Alert 5.
Yet when I run a SIW (System Information for Windows) scan and it reports the following:

How is it that Live Update 5 doesn’t pick this up?
So, apologies for the convoluted post (thought it best to explain the events leading to this), but what to do?
1.   Do I need to update the BIOS, given that it has never been done and I now have the latest VIA 4in1 drivers installed?
2.   Why is Live Update 5 not reporting the status correctly and is there anything I can do to correct this.
3.   Otherwise, if a BIOS update, is warranted, should I go ahead and download directly from the Global MSI webpage and then which version? (can’t post link). I note from the version descriptions that it was v1.7 (26/12/2002) that added support for AMD XP 2800. Strange then that the guy who put together my PC, would not have updated the BIOS from v1.0 to 1.7 at that time!!
4.   Should I also update the nVidia driver, and if so, when? Before or after a BIOS update or is that irrelevant?

Edit: Actually, looking at the original SIW scan report I see that there are some errors relating to DirectX. Not sure if I need to update DirectX (surely MS Update does that automatically) and/or the nVidia driver.
5.   One other thing that concerns me is that the SIW scan reports that the BIOS is reporting wrong values for the DDR memory. What’s that about?

Sorry for cross-posting to another forum, but this has got me in a twizzle
http://www.windowsbbs.com/pc-hardware/89688-need-ram-recommendations-msi-kt4v-l-2.html#post493343
According to the poster (Post #30), the KT4V-L can support 3gB DDR400.
I looked at the MB in my PC and it is in fact stamped MS-6712 KT4AV v10A (assumed 1.0A ). Both CPU-Z and SIW report it as a MS-6712 v1.0 (BIOS 07.00T 04/02/01, Firmware 101.114)
According to the MSI product webpage, the only difference between the KT4AV and KT4AV_L is that the latter includes an (optional) on-board 10/100 LAN.
http://www.msi.com/product/mb/KT4AV.html#/?div=Detail
The ethernet port on my PC is (as described in Device Manager) is a Via Rhine II Fast Ethernet Adapter, whereas in the listed MSI specifications, the optional 10/100 LAN is stated to be a VIA VT6103 LAN controller. So possibly then I was mistaken in assuming that my MB is a KT4AV-L.
Even so, if the statement about the KT4AV-L supporting 3gB DDR400 is true, surely this also applies to the KT4AV ?
Looking at the available BIOS updates on the MSI page, I can see no mention of an upgrade in DDR400 capacity:
http://www.msi.com/product/mb/KT4AV.html#/?div=BIOS
Edit: Ah, the guy in the post specifically refers to a KT4V-L v1.1 not KT4AV-L and I see that it is different product:
http://www.msi.com/product/mb/KT4V---KT4V-L--v1-0-.html#/?div=Detail
What's confusing is that they all designated as MS-6712. So if anyone, like me, does a look up under MS-6712 they could pull up either version, and since the KT4AV/L and KT4V/L have different BIOS update series, I can see how someone could easily flash the wrong BIOS.
That aside, the memory specifications for the KT4V/L are essentially the same as those in the User Guide that came with my KT4AV:
Supports up to 3GB PC1600/2100/2700/3200* DDR SDRAMs
*See Glossary for recommended DDR400 modules - with the largest listed module capacity being 2 x 512MB
So where does this "up to 3GB DDR400 capacity" notion come from. I'd really want to believe it. And if the guy in the PC shop is to be believed, I'd settle for just 2GB.
Edit 2: Oh, boy, so there is a separate product listing for the KT4V-L v1.1:
http://us.msi.com/product/mb/KT4V-L--v1-1-.html#/?div=Detail
Yet, the memory specifications appear to be the same as those for the other MS-6712 versions and BIOS updates are the same as those for the KT4AV-L (very confusing). In fact the downloadable User Guide is the same - 'KT4AV MS-6712 (v1.X) ATX Motherboard'.
Am I missing something here?

X220 BIOS Update issue

Hi
I recently flashed my BIOS (going from 1.26 -> 1.31) prior to installing Windows 7 x64 on a new SSD on my X220. The BIOS update seemed to work OK (I used the lenovo Windows utility to do it), but now I can't save any changes to any BIOS settings. I also cannot reset to defaults - I can't even select some options in the BIOS (e.g. anything to do with UEFI) - the cursor just skips over the lines on screen - and those I can select don't respond to any changes I try to make. I don't get any errors either in BIOS or in Windows, and my X220 boots OK, but obviously there's something wrong there.
After updating the BIOS, I installed the SSD (a Samsung 830) and installed Windows on it - all this worked OK although I was planning to switch to UEFI for the new install and couldn't do so because the BIOS is now uneditable. Everything in Windows seems to work OK.
I've tried re-running the BIOS utility but it reports that the BIOS is up to date and it won't re-apply the current update.
I've checked to see if anyone else has reported this issue here, and found a few reports with similar issues but different situations (e.g. people running Linux rather than Windows, or Wifi not working after the update) - but not this issue exactly.
I'm wondering if this will fix itself when a new BIOS version is released and applied - if that's likely, I'm happy to wait until then (so long as nothing breaks in the meantime). I'd rather do that than pull the CMOS battery (which has been recommended on a few similar threads on here) - but given that the BIOS seems to now be frozen on my machine I'm not sure if future updates will even work.
Has anyone else seen this issue?

Hi
Welcome To Lenovo Community
Please try updating the Bios using bios.bak file which is created during bios update .
You need to locate the bios file folder on c drive , then find bios.bak rename it with FLASHABLNew.ROM
And click on winplash.exe , use Browse option to " Specify new Bios file " and select FLASHABLNew.ROM
Then click on flash bios , it will flash a message that the bios you are trying to update is older than current version , Press Yes to continue
Press Yes , If every thing goes well , your system will restart and you will have your old bios were you can modify or change any option
Now delete the folder which has the latest bios
Download the latest bios and try to flash to check if you are able to modify or change any option under Bios
Hope This Helps
Cheers!!!

T430 BIOS update failing with -s switch

I am attempting to update the BIOS on my T430 using the -s switch. I have downloaded version 1.20 from the Lenovo site. This version says that it includes a fix for the problem with -s. However, I am still unable to flash using -s. I get an error: secure flash authentication failed
Any ideas?

Hey there bdudle1,
Here is a forum post from a few days ago with the same issue. You can look and see if this information helps you out any.

BIOS update issues

I've got two N770 TF 2GD5/OC's.
I ran Live Update and it suggested a BIOS update to NV282MH.301. I'm not very BIOS savvy, so stupididly I said ok, everything went smooth and computer restarted. My issue now is when I have SLI on and a game in full screen it shows what its supposed to but with constant quick flickers. This doesn't exist when SLI isn't on, and I have swapped the cards and pinpointed it strictly to SLI.
I have no idea what to do and don't want to mess with the BIOS unless I have some help. What do I do!?

The BIOS version is NV282MH.301 for BOTH cards. I'm sure my problem is 1 is incorrect for one of my cards as to they were purchased at slightly different times. If you come to the conclusion that this is true (I did find you answer someone else with ROM's to install) and you give me ROM's I need a little explanation as to how I install them.
after checking, yes the 1st card has the wrong BIOS installed

This don't apply for your case, because bios images there are not for your card either.

BIOS updating issue on Satellite 3000 -X11

Hello,
I found a lot of people complaining of this same issue.
I found no solution posted. Most threads (now locked) ended with people saying "Don't update your bios if it is running okay"
This computer is not running okay and I would like to update the BIOS.
The issue is that the bios update says it failed due to the update not being for this model of computer.
The laptop is a Satellite 3000-X11. I have downloaded the v1.6 BIOS update for the Satellite 3000-X11
So I am not sure why it makes this complaint.
Please advise if there is something more I can do here.
Also please know the BIOS update procedure I followed was exactly per the instructions.
Thanks,
Jonathan

(sorry about the name change. Somehow ended up with two profiles when I accessed the forums via a different country site)
As per my original post... the computer does NOT run okay.
That is why I wish to try updating the BIOS.
It has issues with it not starting or starting but with a screen that is so dimmed it looks blank. Looking really hard at it I can see it is not blank, just VERY VERY dim.
I wish to update the BIOS just in case that fixes things.
The BIOS update complains that the PC is not the right model for this update, when it is the right model.
Thanks,
Jonathan

Boot Rom/BIOS emulation issue with latest iMacs?

Hi,
Firstly thanks for viewing.
We've just bought 34 new iMac's and previously had (and still have) 60 odd Aluminum iMac's dual booting OS X/Windows which have no problems.
The new iMacs though seem to be having huge issues with booting Window's the first 2 attempts wether using Apple's Startup Manager or rEFIt.
The first attempt the machine will just hang after at a grey screen after volume selection and the second attempt you will receive a "Disk Read Error" and the third attempt the machine will boot normally and this behavior is happening on all of the brand new 34 iMac's.
rEFIt produces the following error:
Error: Not found return from legacy loader;
Error: not found from locatedevicepath;
Error: not found from locatedevicepath;
Error: load error while (re)opening our installation volume;
Which leads me to believe the issue lies with Apple's Boot Rom and the hand over between EFI and BIOS emulation.
I have tried multiple installs of OS X Snow Leopard with 32 bit XP, 32 bit Vista and & 32 bit Windows 7 as well as using Bootcamp 3.1 which really only add's driver support for Windows 7 no Boot Rom updates.
If anyone is having similar issue's I'd love to hear and any work arounds you may have.
Thanks for taking the time to read my post.

Hi Sea Dog,
Thanks for your reply . But I cannot find anything related to my problem in the link you attached (or it’s “sublinks”). One sublink is about an annoying usb3 bug with some problem related to the S3 sleep state. (Maybe this is the one you are referring to?) But I do not have this problem, I can wake my PC from the S3 sleep state via my connected USB devices. The problem I have is that I also start my PC after a shutdown (=S5 state I assume) via my connected USB devices, which I do not want to happen since too easy to start the PC accidently for example by just moving the mouse a little bit. As I write above, I think this is caused by MSI:s choice to configure their BIOS regarding “Resume from S3/S4/S5 by USB Device”. If I am right about the cause to my problem, I guess MSI should have chosen this resume option without the "…S4/S5…" or at least without the "S5" (By the way, I seem to have version C2 of the Z87 chipset if I understand a note correct on the MB box.)
Again, am I correct about my idea to the cause of this problem?? Can someone please advise how to solve it if possible??

Updating Issue with iTunes 7.0.1.8

A few weeks ago I made the jump to the newly released iTunes 7.0. I had a slew of issues with this update (which by the way Apple has still not provided a working solution for), which I addressed in detail in this post: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3170496#3170496
Today I updated to the new iTunes 7.0.1.8. There were no issues during the installation itself, however afterwards is a completely different story. When I attempt to open iTunes, I receive the following error message: "This action is only valid for products that are currently installed."
My first thought was to see if Quicktime is working normally. It is. No problem there. I thought perhaps I should try repairing the installation. So I went to Settings > Control Panel > Add/Remove Software > iTunes. I attempted to use the 'repair' option. This did not work at all.
At this point I restarted my computer and uninstalled iTunes. I restarted once again and reinstalled. When the installation had finished I received the prompt, "would you like to run iTunes after the installation is completed?" I clicked 'yes.' iTunes opened, no problem.
I closed iTunes and attempted to reopen it normally. It would not open, instead giving me the same message: "This action is only valid for products that are currently installed."
I thought the previous issues with iTunes not recognizing my iPod were bad enough but now I can't even open iTunes at all. This is absolutely unacceptable on Apple's part. It was bad enough that they released 7.0 with all its bugs, but at this point they should have their act together. Instead the problems are getting worse.

Please let me know if I can get rid of this feature.
You sure can.
iTunes View menu > Hide MiniStore will do the trick.

Camera RAW update issue with Bridge CS6

Hi folks,
I recently installed a routine update for Camera RAW 8.4 and now have a bunch of issues with Bridge including -
- No previews or ratings showing
- Ratings filter not working
- Can't open images directly into Camera RAW without first opening Photoshop (ie - keyboard shortcut not working and File menu command "Open in Camera raw" not available)
- Can't access or open Camera RAW preferences
I've tried resetting Bridge to default settings but didn't help and ACR still works fine opening in PS. I've attached two screenshots to show the problem better.
Anyone else having these problems? Any solutions?

This should fix it: Camera Raw 8.4 | No metadata or Camera Raw edit

10.4.8 update - issues with mail and airport

Gah! Just as I was signing up so I could post on this board, my airport connection went bye-bye.
Initially I tinkered with my router (linksys) settings. Recycled everything a bajillion times. Not sure what caused a partial resolution, but my connection is no longer crawling, but it drops a few times a day. The only solution at this point is to recycle modem and router and restart computer.
Now I am having issues with my mail application. Whenever I "get mail" I am prompted for my password. I type it in, plus check the box "add to keychain". App searches for mail. So I went into account prefs and noticed there is no password in the dialog box. I type it in. If I save and close the dialog and then reenter, the password is once again missing. Huh??
So I reinstalled with the combo update (I had previously installed via software update), verifying/repairing disk before, repairing permissions after.
I have removed the system config folder in order for the system to create a new one.
When I look in keychain access, the only thing in there is the airport login. I have also performed a keychain first aid. Nothing appears to be wrong.
Any suggestions??
I patiently await responses.
Oh, and I applied the first update in proper fashion as well. No weird third party stuff, etc. And I didn't have any of these issues pre-update...
mbp Mac OS X (10.4.8)

1. Reset the router by holding down the button in the
rear for 10 seconds.
I've done that ad nauseum, plus tweaked router settings, plus recycled modem/router many times. It does not appear to be a problem with the router hardware or software.
2. Toss your Mail Account, and make a new one.
If indeed that is the solution, is there an efficient way to save/export messages so I don't lose them?

Has anyone had app update issues with iOS 8.1?

I'm running iOS 8.1 on a iPhone 6+. If I try to update an app from the app store without being logged in, it will hang the process and the update will fail.
Previously, with my iPhone 4 and iOS 7.1.2 the app store would ask me to log in when an app update was attempted without being logged in.
The work around until apple fixes this bug is to ensure you are logged in BEFORE attempting an app update. An honest techie at the local apple store admitted this is a bug (one of many) in iOS 8.1. Has anyone else had this issue with iOS 8.1

Nope, I'm able to update an app in iOS 8.1, even if I'm not first logged into the iTunes & App Store in Settings. It prompts me to update the app, then I sign in with my password.
Do you have Touch ID enabled for App Store or not?

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Things to try:
1. go into BIOS setup
2. go the Security menu -> Secure Boot and make sure secure boot is disabled
3. go to the Startup menu, change the option for "UEFI/Legacy Boot" to "Legacy only"
4. press f10 to save and exit
Does the BIOS update CD work now?
If not, try changing step 3 to set "UEFI only" and retry

BIOS update issue on Satellite Pro L40-15A - Old BIOS can't recognise EEPROM

Hi
I'm having trouble flashing my bios.
I have a Satellite Pro L40-15A.
The Toshiba winflash tool that comes with the bios file tells me that the 'Old BIOS can't recognise EEPROM'
I was recommended to use AFUDOS on another forum but that tells me the bios has an invalid boot block.
AMI flas for dos tells me the flash rom is write-protected??? There is no option in bios to disable it and I don't think anyone would be dumb enough to put a hardware Bios protect jumper on a laptop.
Please help
Thx

"old BIOS cannot recognise EEPROM" is the error message i get when i try to flash the bios with the supplied software from Toshiba
_+UPDATE:+_
New verion of BIOS update has worked!!
Case could be closed

700-410xt bios update issues with sp70148
