Envy DV7 7212nr - I need the BIOS backup file.

Hi,
I installed the Lojack software on my laptop and the windows stopped working and started showing a blue screenerror. Because of this my laptop don't work and I can’t restore or reinstall Windows.
My laptop is a Envy DV7 7212nr.
The only solution is to rewrite the BIOS chip. But the BIOS file that HP provides to download can not be written directly to the chip because it is very large and can only be used when the laptop is running normally (this is not my situation).
So I need a BIOS backup's file to get record the BIOS chip. But as I don't have this backup file, I need another laptop like mine to get this BIOS backup file.
So I need someone who has this laptop help me.
Please, if you have the Envy laptop DV7 7212nr and you know make a backup the BIOS, please send this backup file it to me.
If I do not get this BIOS backup file, I will not have to fix my laptop.
Recalling that the file that HP offers for download not work. I need the file obtained by backup BIOS directly of a laptop Envy DV7 7212nr that is running normally.
Thank you.

This is the process to rollback to working version of BIOS.
1-Immediately after powering on hold/tap the Esc key.
2-When the menu appears, tap F2 for System Diagnostics.
3-In the list of items will be BIOS Management.Use the arrow key to move down & highlight it.Press Enter key.
4-You should now have a Rollback BIOS option.Use arrow key again to highlight and press Enter key.

  • Bought a hp envy dv7 7212nr can i upgrade the mssd drive

    Have an hp envy dv7 7212nr it has a mssd 32gGB can it be upgraded?

    Hi,
    Yes you can but you have to change/reconfig the setup. Like my machine, at this stage it's a "cache" drive for IRST

  • Envy dv7-7212nr and Windows 7 64Bit

    Just finished downgrading Envy dv7-7212nr from Windows 8 to Windows 7 Ultimate 64Bit.  Below is the list of drivers and software paks needed to get everything working.
    Hope this helps any of you having issues with wireless or fingerprint drivers.  All function buttons and on/off buttons working as they should.  You may need additional software if you changed your boot drive to SSD or if you change the wirless card as I did.  Currently running an Intel SSD and Intel 7260 dual band wireless card.
    Caveat:  I have tried every combination of BIOS setting and boot possibilities to try to get Win7 to install in UEFI mode with no luck.  Tried Microsofts boot procedure, rufus installer, installing from DVD, installing from USB.  No luck.  It gets through the boot and at the Windows opening screen with the floating squares merging together, it hangs.  That's as far as it gets.  Only success has been installing in Legacy mode.  If anyone has a solution to this... I would be happy to listen.
    Like I said... running fine in Legacy mode.
    All of these upgrades were run AFTER all updates from Microsoft Windows Update were installed.  You can then look for updates from this point on after doing the below installs.
    All done with a clean install on a bare SSD using the Win7 iso files available from Microsoft web site.
    Anyway... the drivers and sofpac installers below all work:
    Intel Driver Update Utility Installer - avail at Intel site
    Intel USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller 1.0.101.255- avail at Intel site
    sp64959 - Intel chipset driver
    sp59653 - Realtek PCIE Controller
    sp62291 - HP Support Assistant
    sp63599 - UEFI Support Environment Diagnostics

    sp64961 - Intel Management Engine Interface
    sp64963 - Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver
    sp64966 - nVidia High Definition Video driver
    sp64969 - Realtek Card Reader
    sp64968 - Realtek Local Area Network Driver

    sp66111 - Synaptics Touchpad
    sp67075 - Validity FingerPrint Driver
    sp61399 - SimplePass Fingerprint Security Software
    Hope this is a help to some of you.  Machine runs great in Legacy mode with Win7 and these installs.
    Again... if anyone has success in installing and setting up in UEFI mode - I sure would appreciate some detailed step by step instructions.
    Thanks again!

    'sHi,
    Are you using this driver? Are you getting no sound from your microphone or is nothing being recorded?
    Please go to Control Panel, Sound make sure that the Microphone option is set as default and that the mic levels are adjusted accordingly, not mute.

  • HP ENVY DV7-7212nr Possible Motherboard Failure?

    HP ENVY DV7-7212nr
    Windows 8 (Factory) upgraded to Windows 8.1 Pro thru Windows Store.
    8 GB DDR3 RAM
    NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 2GB GDDR5
    750 GB HDD with 32 GB mSSD Cache
    Ralink RT3290 WiFi Card (Starting dropping connections a few days before this happened)
    Last night, I was using my laptop normally, and set it down to play a game. During the game, it died, and not even thinking about it, i just returned it to my desk for the next day.
    Well, today, I charged it up, and went to turn it on and I get next to nothing! The power LED remains on solid, and the hard disk activity is solid for about 2 seconds before shutting off. The screen is blank, there are no blink or beep codes and the WiFi LED does not change colors indicating the computer has at least booted.
    Being an IT technician, I removed the RAM and reseated it. That did not help. I also tried booting without the hard drive plugged in. That did not help either. I also tried the Win+B BIOS recovery with my hard drive and a USB drive, and no luck there iether. The last (probably) worst part is this...I removed the RAM and powered on without it, and still, no blink or beep codes. 
    At this point, I believe that my laptop has a failed motherboard, but I just want to check from now until I get the chance to call HP support if there is anything else I can try. My warranty expires in only three weeks, so at least it happened before, not after.
    Also, does anyone know the direct phone number to HP support that is on-shore in the USA. I have never had a good turn-out speaking with the off-shore support, and would love to work with someone who can help me better right off the bat.
    Thanks!

  • I backed up my ipod during a windows backup.  how do i find those ipod files(not itunes) in the windows backup files? i've tried searching and i can't find

    i backed up my ipod during a windows backup.  how do i find those ipod files(not itunes) in the windows backup files? i've tried searching and i can't find

    so i plugged in my ipod and it asked if i wanted to backup the files before restoring it. 
    Do you mean iTunes asked if you wanted to backup files before restoring? If so the it is in the location I posted. You don't need to navigate to the backup. Once your restore your iPod it will ask if you want to restore from a backup and present you with the backups made before hand.
    To restore information from a backup, use one of the following methods after connecting your iOS device to the computer with which you normally sync:
    -Click the File menu and select Devices > Restore from Back up.
    Or
    -Open the iOS device's Summary tab. There are two ways to access this:
    -Click the device button in the upper right corner. (If viewing the iTunes Store, click the Library button in the upper right corner. The device button will then be visible.)
    -From any view in iTunes, click the View menu and select Show Sidebar. Select your iOS device in iTunes under Devices.
    -Click the Restore Backup button.

  • Upgrading to V4 has lost all of my Bookmarks, I still have the restore files in my profile data but they will not load, I have tried importing the html backup file too but it didn't work either. How can I get them back?

    Upgrading to V4 has lost all of my Bookmarks, I still have the restore files in my profile data but they will not load, I have tried importing the html backup file too but it didn't work either. How can I get them back?

    Ok this is bizzare!
    Thank you for your response, I went throught each and every step without any luck, even got the recovery programme, and painstakingly tried to sift through all that mumbojumbo to find what i needed. finally found the bookmark bit, but it had been fully overwritten :(, so on reading about previous ff versions, found the sqlite thingys, and they were relatively unscathed(partly written over, but saveable apparently TG), saved them to adiff drive, amongst other possibly good folders. Then looked up how to install them, and it said to close FF, and install to profile folder.
    So i tried to close FF, and the original problem from a few days ago, where it asked me if 'i was sure i wanted to close this window as it has X tabs open', popped up again. This is where 'open blank page' selection was set, over 'open previous tabs'. Wanting to save that info on how to sort out these friggin files, I reset the Option to 'open previous tabs', and closed FF. After unsucessfully searching for the profile folder on my laptop, i opened FF intending to search online for where i could find said folder.
    AND BANG, surprise surprise, the FF I had just closed with only tabs open about finding out what the heck to do, had disappeared, and instead my original saved tabs were up, and my bookmarks are there..... I am gobsmacked! what the heck just happened there???
    I have made 3 back up in different folders now, of those friggin bookmarks. I am weary now tho of shutting it all down.... what if its back to the other pages I had with no bookmarks, tomorrow :(

  • Need help with backup files made by HP Recovery.

    So in 2011 I had made a post about a DV9 series HP laptop I had that I felt needed a harddrive. Well the laptop has been sold to a friend of mine and he has since fixed the issue it had. My curent deboggle is trying to deal with the 36GB of data it backed up onto an external USB powered harddrive. The information was saved from a system that ran Windows VISTA, on that same DV9 Pavilion. I have a new laptop and it's a Pavilion DV6 running windows 7. Is there some sort of 3rd party application or an uncommon HP utility that can open, run or modify. Specificaly I need to some files but not all, but if my only option is to extract all then that would be fine also. There is an executible in the backup folder but it doesn't extract anything it just locks up. 
    For the TLR portion, need to access backup files made on an older HP laptop with windows vista to a newer HP latop running windows 7.

    Terribly sorry for the post, I should have researched more before posting. I found the answer to my issue in another thread here on the HP forums! Thanks so much!!

  • Unable to open the BIOS UPGRADE FILE

    I have download the BIOS UPGRADE file from TOSHIBA website. My TOSHIBA notebook satellite is operating on windows vista. After downloading the zipped file of the BIOS UPGRADE i could not open it. SO my question is how to open zipped file ? I am surprised my laptop doesn't comes with the unzip program?

    Hi there,
    thats unusual because a unzip-program IS integrated in Vista. But if it really does not work then download winrar (www.winrar.com) and unzip it with this program. It must work, otherwise the file is corrupted and needs to be re-downloaded.

  • How do I stop a copy of backup files? Time Machine filled my extern HD, I bought a 2TB, drag and drop the old backup files and now my iMac has been stuck in "preparing copy" mode all night.

    My 235 MB external HD was full, I bought a new 2TB and dragged and dropped the old backup files to it. Now my iMac is frozen in "preparing copy" mode.  How can I 'unfreeze' it? How should I move the backup files from one external HD to the other?

    This has been answered here so may times (especially by pondini, e.g. in this thread Time Machine stuck in repeating "preparing files" cycle), so please search this forum the next time before asking such a question.

  • After having the logic board replaced, Time Machine will no longer backup my computer to the same backup files as before.

    After having the logic board replaced due to bad NVidia chip, my Time Machine will no longer backup my computer to the current backup. Is there a way to reset something to get Time Machine to continue to use the same backup files as before for this laptop?

    As far as TM is concerned you have a new computer, so it will make a new backup. If you don't have the space for both backups then erase your backup drive before backing up the computer.

    Repair permissions and restart your computer.  If this does not work, zap the pram.  You should now see your external hard drive.
