Detect some error during PININST_BBV

Hi All,
I sold my HP Envy 17" via eBay, before I shipped it I did a recovery, to give the customer that new laptop experience, it worked OK however windows wouldn't activate.  Microsoft kept saying it's locked by a 3rd party.  The customer returned the laptop, I gave a refund, and now I'm trying to sort the issue out.
HP sent out recovery disks, now, when I'm trying to perform the recovery, towards the end of the recovery I'm getting the "Detect some error during PININST_BBV" message.
I've tried resetting BIOS to defaults.
I've tried turning on legacy boot in BIOS.
I'm out of options, I don't want to call HP support because it's just too painful a process.
Has anyone got any ideas?
Thanks.

  • Detect some error during PININST_BBV HP envy-15035eo

    Hello!
    I just bought a new Samsung SSD 840EVO to my HP Envy-15035eo running Windows 8.1. I popped the SSD in to my computer an ran the recovery I bought from HP. After the computer reboots a couple of times the recovery restars and go back to the initall stepps of the recovery. Then if i pull out the USB-drive and reboot the computer ill get the message

    I have tried to do a recovery after I load setup deafaults in the BIOS and enabled Legacy support. I have even done a Start up test on the new SSD and it passes the test.

  • HP Envy m6 - getting error while recovery of my OS. Detect some error during PININST_BBV

    I am receiving the following error while reinstalling my OS using the HP recovery Discs.
    I get this window with no close button except for Save , Details or Retry.
    [ 2:37:49.82] ChkErrBB.CMD : Detect some error during PININST_BBV.
    [ 2:37:49.82] ChkErrBB.CMD : Check c:\system.sav\logs\BurnBootWarn.log

    (The two .LOG files do not exist on the C: partition which is there.)
    My hard disk has crashed, so I used a new one [1 TB] which is bigger in size from the factory installed 750GB.
    I did all the tests by pressing F2 - system diagnostics. All system tests have passed.
    Please help me with the solution, as I need my laptop running ASAP, but the recovery is giving problems.
    I did other procedures to reset the Boot options to Factory defaults using F9. IT didnt help me.
    It keeps throwing the same error.

    I have tried all the suggestions to change the BIOS date from year 2013 to 2012.  The recovery CD's shipped from HP automatically changes the date to 8/27/2012.  I can't help it.
    I bought another new HDD with size 750 GB similar to the facotory shipped HDD.  Did the start-up test again. Everything passed.  But, in the recovery, I still have no luck.
    I reordered the Recovery discs from HP which had the application repair disc as well. I used all the 4 recovery discs , and the system ran for almost 2.5 hours and gave the same Error  PININST_BBV  , BurnbootWan.log and other one. 
    Can anybody help to resolve my recovery issue ASAP. the model is HP envy m6-1188ca.

  • Detect some error during PININST_BBV HP Envy 4-1130ew

    Welcome.
    My problem is with the recovery kit with usb.
    Error Detect some error during PININST_BBV
    I did it in the bios as reported on
     http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Recovery/quot-Detect-some-error-during-PININST-BBV-quot/td-p/2...
    So F9 and enter.
    And still nothing.
    The computer has been added frames with 6 gb ram 16gb.
    The computer is not guaranteed.
    Is it possible that by adding ram recovery does not work?

    Thanks for the reply.
    Unfortunately, it did not help.
    There is still this error message.
    Date in the bios I changed after every reboot.
    I set 01.01.2012.
    at włanczaniu bios change date on 07.03.2012 (from what I remember)
    I tried to upload a clean windows 8.1
    the pendrive.
    The installation went fine.
    The product key fits into the bios.
    Compuer works.
    Only I still have the impression that it is you should not take place in this way.
    If you have the original system compuer windows 8.
    I bought extra recovery kit by serial number of the computer.
    That's why it does not work.
    I spent money (again) on the original system.
    And I am forced to upload another and combining to make it work.
    I do not understand this policy.
    The problem I think is not resolved.
    Please send me any other suggestions.

  • Dv4 ChkErrBB.CMD: Detect some error during PININST_BBV.

    I was trying to restore my computer and I keep getting an error. ChkErrBB.CMD: Detect some error during PININST_BBV. I have made sure the Sufi is turned on and tryed the ctr-alt-del at the error message but it wont open the task manager so I can end the setup process. I have tried to restore the machine like 6 times.
    Computer is a dv4-1551dx using factory restore disk. On a side note I have restored successfuly before with the same disk about a year ago.

    I see everyone is having the same problem, and HP Tech Support is no help at all.  Here is how you fix it. When you boot up your computer hit F10 that will take you to the BIOS manager. then hit F9 to set BIOS to factory default save and exit then do recovery.  Worked for me and it only took me 3 weeks to figure it out lol.

  • Detect some error during PININST_BB​V. [SOLVED]

    I have a HP 2000-2b16NR that needed a new HDD. I ordered and just received the Recovery DVD's for this model from HP and after 5 times running the HP recovery I get this error message.
    ChkErrBB.CMD : Detect some error during PININST_BBV.
    ChkErrBB.CMD : Check c:\system.sav\logs\BurnBootWarn.log
    ChkErrBB.CMD : or, check c:\system.sav\logs\BurnBootMerge.log
    I've already tried defaulting the BIOS like suggested in another thread for this error with no joy.  I even pulled the CMOS Battery and removed the Main Batt/Power as well.
    Searched the HDD for these two log files BurnBootWarn.log  and BurnBootMerge.log and they do not exist in c:\system.sav\logs. However did find this one in there BurnBootMergeBBV1.log.
    Replacement HDD is a HGST Travelstar H2IK500854SP 500GB / 5400RPM / 8MB Cache
    I suspect that one of the DVD's is bad or HP's Recovery Process is utter cr@p!
    RESOLVED: Seems the Supplemental Disk is bad.  Ran recovery skipping the Supplemental Disk and all is fine.
    This question was solved.

    Thanks! That worked great.

  • "Detect some error during PININST_BB​V."

    I am still working on the recovery from this problem which AxshunJaxun was able to help me correctly diagnose.
    I have since received Recovery Media from HP and purchased a new HDD which should be an improvement over the factory part. And, I have spent part of yesterday and most of today working on the recovery process with no success (multiple failed attempts).
    I keep getting a "recovery failed" message from the Recovery Manager application with the specific detail message of:
    [ 2:37:49.82] ChkErrBB.CMD : Detect some error during PININST_BBV.
    [ 2:37:49.82] ChkErrBB.CMD : Check c:\system.sav\logs\BurnBootWarn.log

    (The two .LOG files do not exist on the C: partition which is there.)
    I have followed the process (had to initially hit ESC instead of F2) laid out by anthony82 and encountered no errors on the memory and HDD tests.
    According to this post this is likely a problem with the Recovery Media from HP. Has anyone else seen this type of problem and determined that to be the case as well?

  • After disk recovery, restoration incomplete error - error during PININST_BBV - and can't access BIOS

    Hi I haad got :Ultrabook HP ENVY 6-1103el
    I performed a disk recovery (with disks made myself) to wipe the hard drive. Got to disk 4 of 4 when HP Recovery Manager window appeared with following error message when I click the Details button:

    there might be unexpected reboot during BBV Clean or Last...
    The process will cause CTO panic because the image might not be normal...
    There are 3 options, Save Log, Details, Retry. When I try 'Retry' it asks for recovery media. I've put my recovery disk 6 and disk 1 in, but nothing happens. Oddly enough, the command prompt (cmd.exe) is open at this point. Now whenever I restart the laptop it goes to the same restoration error screen with the command prompt open and minimized in the lower left hand corner.
    Pressing F10 (BIOS Setup) or F11 (System Recovery) after starting doesn't do anything, it just goes straight the the Restoration Incomplete message. Pressing Esc during start goes to the Startup menu, but pressing F10 or F11 there just does the same thing. F2 System Diagnostics works. I ran quick memory check, everything passed. I ran the long hard drive check. Overall it passed, and each one passed except for optimized dst it said 'not available'. When I choose BIOS Management from Diagnostics UEFI, and try either a BIOS Update or BIOS Rollback, I get 'The selected BIOS image was not available.' My system's BIOS ID is F.23. When I try to select a BIOS Image to apply, I've clicked through the file trees and there's nothing there to choose.
    I tried recovering the BIOS pressing Windows and b key when starting. The screen stayed blank and the caps lock light kept flashing but nothing happened. The screen just stayed blank and no bios update screen appeared.
    Did my BIOS become corrupted during the system restoration from disk?
    Any  suggestions or options?
    Thanks.

    Hi  larag,
    Thank you for your reply.
    As I stated in my original post, I suggest you contact HP support and explain in detail the events that happened, when you tried to do the recovery.  The contact information is in my original post.

  • Detecting validation errors during accept processing

    I have a page with the following accept processing components
    1. Process - On Submit - Before computations and validations
    2. A validation
    3. Process - On Submit - After computations and validations
    When the page is first submitted, (1) runs fine. (2) runs and the validation fails so (3) doesn't run.
    Now when I re-submit the page, I would like (1) to NOT run.
    Is there a way to detect that the page is being re-submitted as a result of validation errors and hence suppress certain after-submit components from executing?
    [As far as I know, the "Inline validation errors" declarative condition and the g_inline_validation_error_cnt variable only apply during the page rendering phase, so they can't be used here]
    Thanks

    Hello Vikas,
    In version 3.0 you can use a hidden item as a flag, and set this flag with a on load procedure (and NOT computation). The first procedure will be conditioned by "Inline Validation Errors Displayed" and the second one with "NO Inline Validation Errors Displayed". Then you can condition your after submit processes with this flag.
    >>As far as I know, the "Inline validation errors" declarative condition and the g_inline_validation_error_cnt variable only apply during the page rendering phase, so they can't be used here
    A little test on my local instance confirm this.

  • Some errors about spatial objects during upgrade to 9.2.0.8

    Hi all,
    I installed the 9.2.0.8 patch and upgraded my 9.2.0.7 database to 9.2.0.8 and got some error messages, ORA-29832 and ORA-29844 when the scripts were updating some Spatial objects. The database seems to work properly however after the upgrade, including the Spatial operations. Do I need to worry about those messages? In some 10g upgrade documents, it said similar messages could be ignored. Did I just miss the same information somewhere in the 9.2.0.8 documentation set?
    Regards,
    Matti Siren

    Try to compile the database objects with the utlrp.sql script, verify the version left by the upgrade process at the DBA_REGISTRY view.

    I have 2 Cisco SG300-52P switches.   Earlier this week, one of them started dropping connections and POE was not working on a couple of devices...  I came in this morning to restart them when no one else was around. After restarting them, the troublesome one was still not detecting POE devices.  
    I have been waiting for some down time to do a firmware update, so I thought this might straighten things out.  I Downloaded the updated bootloader and firmware from Cisco's site.  Updating the (non-problem) SG300 went exactly as it should.  Upgrading the the bootloader on the problem SG300 went exactly as it should.  Started the firmware update on the problem switch ....... and it didn't come back online.  The power light was flashing, and occasionally the lights on ports would blink like they were trying to reset, but they never made it.   There weren't really any special configurations on this switch so I had nothing to lose by trying a factory reset via the pinhole on the front ...... same result.
    I connected to the serial port via a win7 PC with putty. .. All setting per Cisco. I got a message that the connection was detected, but it would not accept keyboard input.  I power cycled the SG300 and watched the messages go by ... It looked like everything was working.  I even got a message that the "Initialization task was completed"..
    Then this message "HOSTP_flash_operation: fatal error during read operation!"
    We have had a couple of internet and power outages recently, but I am trying to rule out other issues before blaming it on that. 
    any suggestions?

    I am not familiar with SG series products, but looking at the error message in the attached file, it appears there is an issue with reading from the flash.  It could be that the flash file is corrupted and the flash needs to be formatted and then reload the software again.
    If you have support contract on the product, I would suggest you open a TAC ticket with Cisco and have them help you.
