Cannot update BIOS (win7)

Hi. Recently (12.3.2015) a BIOS update came out (SP70426, F.60Ap1, 9,79MB) and I proceeded to install it with HP Support Assistant. It downloaded withot any problems. After that windows restarted, but it took me straight to the log in screen and everything was back as it was and this bios update was still available to download and install. I tried again, but with same results. I had problems instaling older bios updates, but that ones at least gave out an error message, this one goes through without any problems, except it doesn't do anything.
I use Microsoft Windows 7 64-bit Service Pack 1
Please help and Thank You.

Hello @Almori ,
To get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial product. You can do this at Commercial Forums.
Even though this is a Commercial product, you could reset the BIOS with this document selecting the reloading the BIOS default settings.  This should help with the update that has not gone well.
Thanks.

  • Cannot update BIOS anymore

    Hello, i cannot update my BIOS anymore and i need some help, here is what happened: i bought this laptop somewhere in 2011 and i bought Windows 7 (i accidentaly got 32bit instade of 64bit because i forgot that in this laptop is 64bit cpu) and near the end of 2011 or at begining of 2012 i installed BIOS update from HP support assistant, and in 2013 (i think) i got notification from HP support assistant about new BIOS update and i tried to update it but i couldnt run setup because my 300GB local disk C and 2GB HP_tools F disks were both totaly full so i gave up but now in 2015 i remembered about that update and i cleaned my disks and opened HP support assistant and checked for updates but it dosent give me option to update my BIOS anymore, please help.
    If you need my computer specs let me know.
    Sorry for my bad English.
    Please reply.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    You're welcome.
    There are several bios versions listed between your current one and the update I linked to, however most of these just add support for newer models - HP bios updates are cumulative, so any fixes/enhancements etc in previous versions will be applied by installing the latest.
    However, I don't believe the update will give you the option of disabling (ie Fixed Mode) the Intel gpu - in fact, the only real benefit of upgrading to this bios version is if you're considering running Windows 8 as it adds support for Windows 8 'wireless button' control.
    On balance and if everything is working Ok at the moment, you may well be best advised not to upgrade ( unless you're considering Windows 8 ) - if you do decide to update, flashing back to your current version from a much later revision may not be possible ( this can be blocked if there's a known issue with reverting ).
    At the end of the day, flashing the bios always carries a small risk.
    Best regards,
    DP-K

  • Cannot update BIOS on Satellite L40-14H

    Hi, guys!
    I`m actually use L40-14H notebook with 5.40-WIN BIOS (for XP). When returned to Vista x64 I try several times to update BIOS to 1.90-WIN (for Vista) in Windows mode, but nothing...
    Any ideas how to do that without USB floppy?

    Hi,
    Just nothing, only Command Prompt screen splash for a second and nothing more. Although account is Administrator I use "Run as administrator option", but no difference - no errors, no messages.
    Possible is not working in Vista x64, I don`t know...
    Do you know the difference between 5.40-WIN (for XP) and 1.90-WIN (for Vista)?
    PS: Sorry for my english. :)

  • Cannot update BIOS on Satellite A665

    Hi
    I desperately need help with updating my BIOS on Satellite A665 as my battery is not charging and the site says for me to update BIOS but it is not letting me update saying battery is less than 10%.
    Please someone help me as I have no way of using the laptop without AC power always present.

    Hi
    What is your current battery level?
    I think the BIOS update will prevent updating if the battery level is too low - this is a security feature.
    In case your battery will not charge please try to disconnect it wait a second or two. Then connect it again.
    Still the same?
    If so please let us know which BIOS version is in your system today.
    Thanks

  • Thinkpad A30: Cannot update BIOS

    Hi,
    I have a Thinkpad A30 2652-3WG BIOS v1.03, which I recently revived, installing Windows XP SP3.
    I noted that the graphics driver required BIOS v1.14 or higher. Having an old BIOS v1.03, I downloaded BIOS v1.19 and tried to update.
    But no matter what I do, whether I choose the floppy or non-floppy version, or even an older BIOS: When I get to the point where I answer "Yes" to start the BIOS update procedure, I get the error:
    "System program update is currently disabled. The process has been canceled."
    I have checked through all options in the Bios setup, as well as in the Thinkpad Configuration tool in the Control Panel, but I cannot find any settings for enabling/disabling Bios updates. The only think I've found, is an option to enable update through LAN, which is enabled by default.
    Any ideas?
    Solved!

    Welcome to the forum!
    A complete shot in the dark on my part, but doesn't cost you anything to try: remove the CMOS (BIOS) battery for an hour, and the main battery at the same time. Keep the machine unplugged throughout this period of time.
    Before doing all of the above, please make sure that no Supervisor or BIOS passwords are enabled, so you don't get locked out of the system. 
    Plug everything back and see how it goes.
    Good luck and let us know. 
    Cheers,

  • Re: Cannot update BIOS from 1.5 to 1.6 on Tecra T 9100

    I have problems with updating the BIOS of my Tecra 9100. The current version is 1.5, and I want to update it to 1.6, so that the UJ-820 DVD-RAM will work.
    I have tried to do with the windows tool within the Zip-File (error message: User does not have administrator privileges), and with bootdisk (error message: unknown chipset).
    What can I do next?

    Hi
    First of all the BIOS update will not help you to solve the CD/DVD drive IDE #1 issue.
    Secondly I assume you are using the Win XP and if you want to update the BIOS you have to do this from running Win XP!
    Furthermore I read in different threads that the Common Modules must be installed in order to start the BIOS update procedure.
    PS: Check if you could start the BIOS exe file using right click and choosing Run as
    Then you could choose the Admin account.

  • AE2280 - Cannot update BIOS

    I'm working on a Wind Top AE2280 that freezes in sleep mode occasionally, so I'm trying to update the BIOS - no luck.  Using this download: msi.com/service/download/bios-17021.html
    There are two folders, BIOS and EC.  Using a boot disk and trying to run flash.bat in the BIOS folder, I get the following error:
    PDR Region does not exist.
    Error 25: The host CPU does not have write access to the target flash area.  To enable write access for this operation you must modify the descriptor settings to give host access to this region.
    Also, running flashec.bat in the EC folder appears to work, but the version number in the BIOS does not change.  (Are these two separate BIOS components/flash images or just two different ways to update the BIOS?  Confused on this ...)
    Thanks for any help!

    Quote from: The CPU Whisperer on 14-October-13, 20:03:51
    First you'll have to check which bios your AIO is running now.
    Flashing the wrong BIOS & EC can permanently brick the device.
    If it's running on EC 1.xx you'll need to use bios 170Hi and EC 1.50
    If it's running on EC 3.xx you'll need to use bios 170St and EC 3.30
    Currently V1.30 BIOS, EC 1.10, so I'm on track here.

    There is a ME jumper which need to be removed to bypass the protection
    Makes sense, where is this jumper?  (Better still, where are the technical manuals for these?)
    The access panel for the miniPCIe slot shows two jumpers, assuming it is one of these since they are the only ones accessible without completely opening the machine.  Taking a closer look but so far I see no markings on the motherboard ...

  • MSI GE70, cannot update bios

  • Cannot update bios

    Hi HP.
    I have an HP Omni 27 1057c, running Windows 7 x64.  Bios AMI 7.09 (11/23/2012)
    Bios available 2013-01-07 , Version7.09 Rev. A, 4.21M
    I flash it, says successful, then I restart, and the Bios did not change.
    I also unplugged all usb's, turned of antivirus and firewall.
    The reason why I want to update is because of the graphic driver's constant crashing.
    Please help.

    Hello Mr. Banhien.
    I neglected to mention that I attempted three methods: through HP Download Assistant, by saving the file and running it from my computer, and through HP Support Assistant, which did not detect the Bios update but I manually found on the Drivers page for my detected product. Also, during these attempts I made sure that all usb's were disconnected, antivirus and firewall were closed.
    I have also read that it might be because I need to flash from USB; but this would be contrary to the suggestion to remove all usb items. I did not attempt this.
    You may find this interesting. I attempted to download the generic driver from Intel based on Graphics Card, Chipset and Motherboard. When I ran the file from my computer, my computer did not allow the installation of the generic driver. Please note, I did not uninstall the preinstalled gaphics driver.
    You may also find this interesting. I have two display softwares - HP My display and the Intel HD Graphics Control Panel. I have also the following duplicate update found in my Windows Update History: Intel Corporation - Graphics Adapter WDDM1.1, Graphics Adapter WDDM1.2, Graphics Adapter WDDM1.3 - Intel(R) HD Graphics. Do any of these pose a problem?
    Could you reassess my situation?
    Thank you.

  • Cannot update Bios through Live Update (Z77A-GD65)

    I've been trying to update the Bios from A.00 to A.B0.  I've tried it a few times but when I scan for updates it will always say that my current Bios is A.00 and the online version is A.B0.  I'm trying to get this update in the hope that it will fix my problem installing my new Graphic Card.

    Don't use LiveUpdate! If it tries updating your bios you have a high chance of bricking the board. Download bios versions from here or the product site and manually flash (and never in Windows).
    >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
    Download the compressed archive to your desktop but do not decompress.
    Select option 1 of the forum flash tool and point the tool an the compressed archive then follow the direction. After booting from the prepared USB stick afterwards it will flash your bios and ME extension.
    Once complete you will need to download and re-install the latest version of the Intel Management Engine Drivers.

  • Cannot update BIOS, winflash.exe crashes

    I downloaded the BIOS update tool to update to 1.19, but it crashes immediately when it launches winflash.exe. I am plugged into the AC adapter and have a full battery. I'm on an x220 running Windows 7 Professional x64. Any help you have would be much appreciated.

    then why do they (Lenovo) still have this posted for 64 bit systems Notes:
    (*1) If Windows 7 or Vista 64-bit is already installed on your system, then you must use the bootable CD ISO format of this BIOS update.
    - On Windows 7 64-bit and Vista 64-bit, the BIOS itself is supported, however, this package for BIOS update does not work.
    - This program is language independent and can be used with any language system.

  • Cannot Update BIOS on Tecra M7

    Hello,
    I'm trying to update my BIOS to get my Tecra M7 to recognize Intel's virtualization extensions.  I downloaded version 3.50 of both the update for "Tecra M7" and "Tecra M7-7311," and neither work.  Both tell me that my computer isn't supported, both when upgrading within Windows and when updating using a boot CD.
    Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to make this work?
    Thx.

    So far as I know, only a very few of Toshiba's computers have a BIOS that supports hardware virtualization. You probably need to call their customer support in your country to find out which ones.
    What is the part number of your Tecra M7? It looks something like PTM71E-00M00GEN or PTM71C-GH10TE or PTM71A-006005.
