After restoring BIOS from USB still HP BIOS Utility starts

Hi guys, after a BIOS update my HP Pavilion 15-e026sl not boot anymore, it does the following scheme:
I press the power button
Power, Bloc Maiusc and wifi lights and fan on but dark screen
2/3 seconds and everything shut down
The pc automatically reboot with bloc maiusc light flashing
HP Bios update starts with the need to recovery Bios because it's corrupted
Flash the Bios, but when verifying the bios flashed I got error
Everything restart from point 4
So, I read on this forum and on the HP Support Center how to create the famous "HP_TOOLS" USB stick in order to restore the BIOS image. (With another pc) From the Support Page of my Pavilion 15-026sl I downloaded the latest BIOS update (F.23), I started the .exe file and I created the USB Stick choosing the correct option.
Then I put the USB on the Pavilion and with Win + B + Power combination the pc started to recover BIOS from USB, and this is the log that I extracted from the USB stick:

The pc automatically reboot with bloc maiusc light flashing
HP Bios update starts saying 'The System BIOS is being recovered' (but if I have already done it from USB?!)
Flash the Bios

The pc reboot itself and everything restart from point 2.
Infinite Loop! How can I do to resolve this issue? It's something broken on the mobo? Or do I have to clear the CMOS? Or something similar?
P.S.: My warranty ended.
P.S.2: I put USB Stick in USB2.0 port and not in USB3.0 ports
P.S.3: I have also tried to:
Remove HDD and power on
Remove RAMs simultaneously and power on
Remove CD/DVD-RW and power on
Holding Power On for 1 minute with no external power and power on
But nothing's changed
Thank you to anyone who wants to help me

Download the current BIOS Rompaq on another Windows PC. Double click it to open it. Choose the" create a recovery USB flash drive to use on devices with corrupted BIOS." option
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-134117-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...
Plug a 2GB or larger capacity flash drive into an available port
Once the recovery usb flash drive has been created, plug it into your pavilion 15 notebook and press the power button to boot to it and write a fresh bios rom file into the CMOS ROM to replace the corrupted one currently there.

Booting BIOS from USB doesn't work (890FXA-GD70)

Hi all,
in case of BIOS crash, recent MSI motherboards should be able to boot using a BIOS provided from an USB pendrive. I have tested this function by calling it directly by BIOS option, but it fails after BIOS is loaded getting a blank screen (debug code: 09) or the monitor off (debug code: 31). Does any of you know whether the problem is fixable or any hints? Is it working to you?
890FXA-GD70 (either BIOS 1.0 and 1.6)
Verbarim Store'n' go 4GB USB pendrive (tested with FAT32, FAT16 formats, partitions smaller, bigger... nothing)
BIOS save function doesn't work as well. Some bytes are different comparing the saved file to original one.

Quote from: Svet on 28-October-10, 21:37:53
it's probably m-flash issue, what's current bios version installed?
Yes, you can say: "Flash your BIOS to the last version released some days ago, and retry", but that is the last chance for clear reasons. The problem hasn't been fixed flashing from 1.0 to 1.6, and I guess likely this code with the bug is in non flashable part of BIOS.
I wonder whether Boot 2nd BIOS from USB Drive (or Backup BIOS to USB Drive) is working for someone, it looks impossible it is entirely broken...

Can't send and receive SMS/MMS/iMessages after restoring iPhone from a backup

I can't receive and send any type of messages with my iPhone 3GS (iOS 6.1.6) after restoring it from my old backup (also 6.1.6).
Messages that I'm sending are disappearing immediately after the moment they are sent and they are never delivered. The first time I restored my iPhone I could send and receive messages for 1 day, and I couldn't do it on the next day. This time I was able to send and receive messages for 10 minutes.
I have used the methods Apple recommends for problems like this, but it doesn't help.

Hello StepanyanMuradyan,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
To troubleshoot issues with not being able to send or receive messages on your iPhone, I'd like you to please follow the troubleshooting outlined below.
To resolve issues with sending and receiving iMessages, follow these steps
Check iMessage system status for current service issues.
Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and make sure that you registered iMessage with your phone number or Apple ID and that you selected iMessage for use. If the phone number or Apple ID isn't available for use, troubleshoot iMessage registration.
Open Safari and navigate to www.apple.com to verify data connectivity. If a data connection isn't available, troubleshoot cellular data or a Wi-Fi connection.
iMessage over cellular data might not be available while you're on a call. Only 3G and faster GSM networks support simultaneous data and voice calls. Learn which network your phone supports. If your network doesn't support simultaneous data and voice calls, go to Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi on to use iMessage while you're on a call.
Restart your device.
Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone.
If you still can't send or receive an iMessage, follow these steps
Make sure that the contact trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
Make sure that the contact you're trying to send a message to is registered with iMessage.
If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and recreate the contact in the Contacts app. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
Back up and restore your device as new.

Take care,

Do I need to uninstall CS4 and reinstall?
Unfortunately yes.
Also run the Cleaner Tool prior to reinstalling
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
Restoring from Time Machine backups invariably breaks the activation mechanism (Error 150:30) and there's no easy way to fix a 150:30 error other than via re-installing.

The wish list only works on apps you have to pay for. To get it tap the icon of the app you want to save. After it opens at the upper right corner is a box with a arrow. Tap that then tap add to wish list list in the box that opens.

CQ61 restore Bios from USB

I have a CQ61-429us that stopped working. When I power on I get all the lights, the HDD and CD drives spin, and sound like they are fine. I always have a black screen, so I tried hooking up to an external monitor, with no video signal even after function-F4. The lights will flash twice contiunally, from my reading I think that means no BIOS. I tried restoring the BIOS from the HDD to no avail. Formatted an USB to FAT32 with volume "HP_TOOLS" and downloaded the BIOS unpacked to the usb Pressed the Windows + B button upon startup but no update. Am I missing something?
Thanks

Usually it is the cap lock and number lock keys that give the blink codes.Is this the keys that are blinking? I ask because you said you get 'all' lights after powering on.
Have you tried a hard reset? Have you tried removing 1 stick of memory at a time to see if it will boot?

How force load BIOS from USB thumb device

My BIOS firmware memory is damaged, I have all kinds of malfunctions described on this Forum. I have created a BIOS recovery USB device and I wonder if there is a possibility to configure the computer so that to load the BIOS, not Windows!, from the USB device that would be permanently plugged-in.Thanks!

I use the
Windows USB/DVD Download Tool too to create the usb thumb drive. And I use the tool to copy the iso file there.
And when I use that drive on an older laptop runs windows 7. it works.

After restoring 5S from 5, notifications from many news APPs don't work (no problem with my iphone 5 running iOS 7.0.2)

I used iphone 5 and have updated it to iOS 7.0.2. Everything worked with it. I can receive all the notification from news APPs.
After receiving iphone 5s, I set it up by restoring the backup from iphone 5. However, not all APPs were synced. Also, many notifications are not working especially with the news APPs I was using.
The notification of those APPs affected are turned on in the notification center.
I have restored iphone 5S to factory setting and set up again, but still not all the notifications are working.
What should I do?

A workaround is to reinstall lazy apps, mostly for those that were restored but don't appear on notification center, eg. Whatsapp. In my case I have more than 500 apps installed.
We need a correct solution for this problem.
I also had this problem on the past moving from 4s to 5.
And now from 5 to 5s.
The only notifications working after restore in my iPhone are those from Facebook.

Lost playlists after restoring itunes from backup

My wife took the imac to the apple store and to diagnose the problem with the slot card reader they erased the whole computer. I restored everything from a cloned backup of my entire HD that I made the day before using carbon copy cloner, but when I launch iTunes all of my playlists are gone. I have tried to remove the "itunes music library.xml" and itunes Lib.itl files and reimport them by "Importing PLaylists" multiple times and it hasn't worked. Also when I do this procedure the itunes layout of the Artists/Albums/etc converts to a new format with a much smaller font and I can't seem to change it back to the way I was used to seeing my Music (with the 3 wide columns of Genres/Artists/Albums at the top with a light blue background color). I tried recopying the entire itunes folder from the backup and that restored the itunes window to the way that I had it setup previously but the playlists are still missing. Any advice for restoring my playlists? Can I use Time Machine to help me?
Thanks

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
The images are from Windows XP but you get the idea. Your Mac library file may omit the .itl extension.
See MusicFolder Files Not Added and Super Remove Dead Tracks for tools to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working I'm told Carbon Copy Cloner can do the equivalent of this Windows based backup tip

Problem booting Lion after restoring disk from Time Machine

I have a late 2009 iMac which I have upgraded to Lion, having created a bootcamp partition with Windows Server 2008 before upgrading.
This has been working absolutely fine for a few months but then there appeared to be some kind of hard disk problem and booting would only go as far as a gray screen with apple logo and a progress bar, then shut itself down. I started into the recovery partition by holding down the Alt key and from there (after reading around the internet a bit) was able to reformat the OS X partition and restore it from my Time Machine backup (wireless to Time Capsule).
However it now won't boot, initial grey screen with Apple logo and spinning progress meter then restarts into Recovery HD. In Recovery mode Disk Utility reports all appears to be OK with the disk - there were some errors before I restored from Time Machine, but Disk Utility was able to repair them.
If I hold down Alt on booting I get the 'choice of boot disks' screen with EFi boot, Windows and Recovery HD. If I choose EFi boot I get the Apple symbol alternating with a circle with diagonal line (prohibitory?) a couple of times, then it boots into Recovery. If I boot the computer with the Shift key it successfully boots into Windows, but won't boot into Windows from the 'choice of boot disks' screen.
Is my problem that I need to somehow 'make' the restored partition bootable and if so how, or is there a more fundamental problem here, either with my hard disk or (gulp) with my Time Machine backup?
Any ideas much appreciated, thanks
-Chris

Can't see SMART status anywhere in Disk Utility, shouldn't it just be visible at the bottom of the window when I click on the disk? Verify disk returns OK. I do have the correct format option.
I am now trying Tony T1's suggestion of trying again, but this time on Erase... I have chosen the Security Option that writes 0's over the whole partition to see if it throws up any signs of failure.
Thanks for your suggestions.

ITunes crashes when processing purchases after restoring HD from Time Machine

Ever since I had to restore the HD on my MacBook Pro last weekend, iTunes crashes each time it tries to process downloaded files. Everything elses seems to work fine after restoring my HD. Any ideas?
I've already tried re-setting my Apple ID password, authorizing and deauthorizing and then authorizing my computer, deleting the partially downloaded files in the iTunes library and starting over, and looking into the settings of my Intego VirusBarrier X6 settings - not something I normally do as it usually just does its thing in the background, and I've had this running for the last year with no problems with iTunes in that all time.

Sorry. I'm a bit slow today. The display sleep is normal when running off the install disc, but the HDs shouldn't sleep. Check out the tips I mentioned, since I don't use TM, I can't offer anything WRT restoring from its backups.

After restoring System from TM backup is too big for drive

I had to restore my system from TM recently. When I plugged in the TM drive after restoring it tells me that there's not enough space on the drive to perform the backup.
Am I just going to have to chuck away the original backups and start a new one, or is there some way I can get the original backup to work again?

Hi, and welcome to the forums.
Yes, that's normal behavior, unfortunately. When you erase a disk (done automatically as part of a restore), everything you put back on it is treated as new: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1338
You may need a larger drive for your backups. It varies greatly, of course, depending on how you use your Mac, but a "rule of thumb" is that TM needs 2-3 times the space of the data it's backing-up to be able to keep a reasonable "depth" of backups for you.

Exchange 2010 - Clustering & DAG problems after restoring CLUSTER from domain

Hi there!
SITE 1
Primary EXCHANGE server (2010SP3 with latest CU) with all the roles installed
SITE 2
Secondary Exchange server (2010SP3 with latest CU) with only mailbox role for DAG purpouse.
SITE 1 and SITE 2 are connected with site-to-site-vpn.
Both servers are on 2008 r2 ENT.
About 3-4 months ago we have accidentely delete DAG node from domain. We have managed to restore it from domain with using AD RESTORE and checking that DAG is member of all the required Exchange groups in the domain.
Now we are having some big problems if site-to-site-vpn dropps, our primary Exchange server in SITE1 is not working.
If VPN dropps between the sites, OWA gets unavailable as it Exchange servers would think that Exchange in SITE2 is primary server.
Please advice us how to track and repair the root of the problem.
With best regards,

Running command:
Get-MailboxDatabaseCopyStatus –Server "exchangesrvname" | FL MailboxServer,*database*,Status,ContentIndexState
Gives as an output that all the databases are healthy:
Example of 1 database report:
