Pavilion g6-2235us bios update failed - error msg on boot

I've had trouble updating to Windows 8.1, so I did a bios update, as recommended by the HP Web Site, but it failed, and now the laptop won't boot. It displays error message "Your computer needs to be repaired:\bcd, error code 0xc0000034..." Additional info is available by hitting escape, and I can get into a black screen with options:
f1 System information
f2 System diagnostics
f9 Boot device options
f10 BIOS setup
f11 system recovery
I've been down all those paths, with no luck on proceeding any further. f10 shows me all the bios setup screens and the bios version shown is F29, the version that I tried to upgrade to.
I've tried removing the big battery and pressing the start button for one minute - no joy.
I've tried holding Windows+B+start - no joy
I guess I'm down to trying to create a USB Key with the BIOS on it, and that's where I am stumped. The BIOS softpaq for this machine is sp66880.exe. I've got that on a fat32 usb stick with the volume label HP_Tools, and I've got HP tools on the stick too. When I try to boot with the stick by pressing windows+b+start, the light on the USB stick flashes a lot, but ultimately I get the message "The system bios recovery failed. Unable to open bios image file." I have the feeling that I just don't have the proper setup on that USB stick. I tried to run sp66880.exe on another computer, but it tells me that it is going to immediately flash the bios, which I definitely don't want to do (on my Toshiba laptop!).
I would greatly appreciate any help you all can give me on how to create the recovery USB stick in the proper format. Thanks in advance.

Fixed!
It turns out that the bios update actually succeeded, but something in the hard drive boot files got corrupted. I was able to make a Windows 8 Recovery USB stick on another machine, and finagle around to have the HP laptop reformat the hard drive to original factory condition. Fortunately, I made a very recent Macrium image before this most recent problem started, so the next step is to restore that image. With the new v. F29 bios, hopefully this beast will finally upgrade to Windows 8.1.

At the BIOS updating the HP Pavilion zd7000 laptop hanged

At the HP Pavilion zd7000 laptop BIOS updating from a site HP.com (the file sp33465.exe, OC Windows XP) the laptop hanged and to a BIOS it was not established. Now at inclusion all bulbs burn, but the laptop doesn't submit life signs, fans,
NDD don't work. The BIOS.bak file remained, but with USB-Flash it is impossible to establish. At USB-Flash connection it
3 times blink and is disconnected. Prompt how to return BIOS.

Thanks for the answer. On the bottom cover there is a bar code and number - DP080AVR MFQ# 2CB41216S4 Made in Taiwan.
Any error messages on the screen wasn't and isn't present. Updating hanged approximately for 40 % -

any signs of work. All light-emitting diodes on the top panel only burn.

Thank You

Hi @satyakam
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you are enjoying your sound from everything today. I am happy to help.
If you have a sound application installed along with your sound driver, then I would check the settings for the speakers and headphone in that application.
Then I would make your headphone the default device when it is plugged in.
To make headphone as the default device
1.    Click on Start; Go to Control Panel.
2.    Click on Sound.
3.    Switch to Recording.
4.    Select your microphone/headset as the default device.
5.    Save the changes by clicking on OK.
Also you can Uninstall and re-install your audio device drivers, to do that:
1.    Click on Start; in the start search type “devmgmt.msc” without quotes and press Enter.
2.    Expand Sound, Video and Game controllers.
3.    Right click on the audio component and then click uninstall.
With the driver uninstalled then download and re-install the driver from:
HP Pavilion g4-1121tx Notebook PC Drivers
Just be sure to select the correct operating system from the drop down, and click next, which will refresh the list of drivers below.
Let me know if that helped at all.

Bios update failed on my pavilion dv6917cl

I was updating the bios on my dv6917cl pavilion notebook, when it shutdown it just gave me a black screen after rebooting. I'm trying to get the bios recovery, I already have the recovery disk created but the Bios updates have 2 .wph files so I don't know which one to pick.
I'm waiting for your answer.
Thank you.

Ok, I already tried with both of the files. I already changed the .wph file name to Bios and it didn't work. I tried with the phoenix recovery tool. I was thinking on trying with the hp tool. I don't know if that is the problem.

Pavilion g6t wont boot after bios update now just black screen please help!

I downloaded an update for the bios for my pavilion g6t-1d00 laptop running windows 7 64 bit. It started acting kind of funny but I didnt think anything of it til I tried to boot it up the next day and all I got was a black screen and a orange led light on the f12 button for the internet and the caps lock button after blinking afew times started the dredded two times every couple of seconds. I tried the windows key+B key power key, no luck. I cant access anything because I have no monitor and I'm at my wits end. I refuse to wipe my hard drive and start over even if I could! I cant access hp tools or manager or anything, please someone has to have a solution!

@Fuschia4me,
1.       You will have to use another computer
2.       Access the HP.com site with the BIOS updates available here is the link
3.       You want to select the F.36 BIOS version
4.       When you click on the update then click download and it will ask you to save or run, you want to save to a flash drive
5.       Once done insert the flash drive into your laptop
6.       Turn the computer on and press the windows and B key like before
If the process doesn’t work the first time I would try at least 2 more times.
Please respond back at your earliest convenience.
Thanks

HP Pavilion 500 PC HP 500-297c

I have a HP Pavilion 500 PC HP 500-297c Windows 8 upgraded to 8.1
I live in Kentucky.....BUT when I search something or go online to shop it pulls up all of the Stores in Saint Marys Pa. or Dubois Pa. even the Weather ( IF I do not put in my Zipcode or put in my Town to Change it.....It comes up Saint Marys Pa. or Dubois Pa. or the Next Largest City in Pa. Close to those two. ) I know when I purchased this System about 5 to 6 Months ago I know I put in all of the Correct info. ( Where I live etc. Zipcode etc. ) How can I go into the Computer to check and see IF my Info. is Correct or is still the same. ( Someone this day and age could Hacked into it or is using it as a so to speak what we read of before as a Super Computer etc. Linked with other Computers etc. I hope not but you cannot rule anything out anymore.) IF this cannot be done I was going to use the Recovery ? Restore Option but it only wants to go back a day or two maybe a few at the most. Or IF you choose the other option maybe 2 to 3 weeks at the most. What screen or button does a person hit repeatedly when the computer comes up to wipe it back to Factory Conditions like you just purchased it and are setting it up for the first time entering your info into it. IF this cannot be checked or change in Simpler Terms.

How to Reset BIOS/Clear CMOS of an HP Pavilion 500-111ea

Hello,
I was trying to change my computers boot logo because i dont like the HP one, and now when i try to enter my bios i get beeping, can anyone tell me how to reset the BIOS/Clear CMOS, this will be much apreciated. The computer still works fine, i just cant enter the BIOS or the UEFI Firmware Settings thing. When pressing F10 at boot up the computer beeps 8 times
My computer is a HP Pavilion 500-111ea
Regards,
Kieran
<I posted this in the wrong selection a few moments ago, i hope this is the right place this time.>

Hi,
Please explain in detail what changes you made in an attempt to change the boot logo.
HP did not post a clear CMOS procedure for your model PC. Review the below image. Unplug your PC, hold down the power button for 1 minute. Now open up your PC and move the jumper blocks over to the left per the image for 30 seconds and then move the jumper blocks back. Plug the PC back in and give it go. If you still get the eight (8) beeps then you could try a ROM image recovery.
Eight (8) beeps in an invalid ROM image. Review this HP posted article for trying a BIOS recovery.
You might try this HP tools software. Download the software to a different PC and create the USB 2 bootable tools flash drive. If you can get the flash drive to boot up then look for a firmware management selection. There is not any documentation available on how to use this function so you are on your own. HP Support might be able to assist you with a BIOS recovery and/or you might be faced with sending in your PC to an authorized HP repair facility to have the BIOS reflashed.

Hi HP!
I have the same problem with installing BIOS update as some other users.
1. Is it sp70148.exe that I've got to use updating BIOS on a HP Pavillon 500-320no? I've tried five time via the Support assistant - but it doesn't work.
2. And - hov important is this update? - rigth now I'm running AMI 80.16, 12-05-2014

This question was solved.
View Solution.

A member "redshore" has posted a possible solution for the BIOS update problem to 80.20, a few members have tried it and apparently it has worked.
I must remind you to be very careful performing the solution I will show below. If you are not comfortable doing it then don't. Any error may brick your system.
HP has no official position on this solution and you do so at your own risk. Should you decide to go ahead with it, please report back the results.
Here is the poissible solution:
1. Download the latest BIOS version"sp70148.exe" and save it to your Desktop.
2.Now close your browser and any open windows. There's no need, at least in my case to shut down your anti-virus, people that say that typically don't know what their talking about not to mention you leave your PC open to nasties.
3. Right Click on the downloaded file and selcet "Run as Administrator". Allow it to run and Do Not touch the mouse or keyboard while it installs. You will see a DOS BOX or a black window appear and a cursor, let it continue. Your PC will Re-boot on its own when it's done, LET IT.
After your PC is back to the Desktop, click on "My Computer" then click on "Windows (c:
You should now see a folder called "SWSETUP"
The date on the folder should say todays date or the date you ran "sp70148.exe"
4. Click on the folder and go to the folder "sp69840" You should see a few files inside called "Flash.bat" "FWUpdhcl.exe" "GUI-8020.exe" "MEM_8020. "MEM_8020.BIN" & likely one more.
5.Make sure you see these files before doing anything else, DO NOT CLICK ON ANY OF THEM! Just make sure you see them.
If you see these files, good. If not post and I'll try to help.
Now close the windows and go back to your Desktop.
6. Restart you PC. Before it Boots to the Desktop quickly press ESC on your keyboard.
7. You should now be in the "Startup Menu"
8.Select "F2 System Diagnostics"
9. Now you should see "HP PC Hardware Diagnostics UEFI" screen. Mine says "Version 5.7.0.0"
10. Use your mouse and Select "Firmware Management" You will see "BIOS Management" at the top of your screen.
11. Click on "BIOS Update"
You should now see at the top of your screen "BIOS Management"
Mine says in red "The selected BIOS image was not available, you may select an alternative image file, or cancel the update."
In black below that it says "This system's BIOS ID is (your BIOS version will be two digits a decimal point and two more digits. Mine was 20.16 before I update to 80.20)
"A signature file must also be available in the same directory"
12. Click on "Select BIOS Image To Apply"
This opens up "Select File System"
You should see several options where the files I spoke of earlier can be found. Remember "Windows (C SWSETUP"
13. Choose "Windows-Sata (0x0, 0xFFFF,0X0) Drive Partion 4"
14. At the top of the screen it should say "File Navigator" now select with your mouse "SWSETUP"
15. Now select "sp70148"
***16. YOUR BIOS SHOULD UPDATE TO VERSION 80.20 NOW....ALLOW YOUR BIOS TO FLASH, DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING ON YOUR PC AND DO NOT TURN IT OFF, JUST BE PATIENT AN LET IT FLASH, IT TAKES SOME TIME.***
17. Once the Flash is finished, your PC should boot to the Desktop on its own and you now have the latest BIOS that fixes the security issues.
Again, if you're not comfortable and this post seems complicated to you, skip it until HP finds a quicker fix.

Bios update UEFI for Pavilion dv6-6b13ss

Hi @aliens1983
Welcome to the HP Forums!
It is a terrific place to find answers and information!
For you to have the best experience in the HP forum I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide Learn How to Post and More
I grasp you are unsure of the exact model notebook you have as the auto detect states you have the Pavilion dv6-6b13ss but the sticker on the bottom states it is Pavilion dv6 6166ee .
It is most likely the former as that is what the tool detected after scanning your system for information.
Here is a link to How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number? that may also help to clarify this for you.
Here is a link to the HP Pavilion dv6-6b13ss Entertainment Notebook PC Support And Drivers where it does list the latest recommended bios update as F.1C.

BIOS Update for HP Pavilion dv6t-7000 CTO

I was just looking at the updates for my laptop and saw two BIOS updates here. I was wondering which one actually applies to my particlular machine. As one can see, one is a few months more recent than the other. Does this mean that it has the fixes that the older one already employs? If so, why list both when only the newst one is relevant?
Looking further into this, I took a look at the revision history (Previous Versions) for both and they each list themselves as "Current". One lists as "F.29 Current 10-2013" and the other "F.24 Current 02-2013". So, which one is actually current?
Can anyone shed some light on this? I can post more specific info about my machine upon request if that would help.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

The one with the later date is more current. This is customary on computer manufacturer support websites. They will usually keep the last couple of versions up there with the latest one. Toshiba is particularly bad about never removing old versions of drivers and BIOS. And BIOS updates are cumulative. You can skip over to the latest one and all the updates in all the interim versions will be included. The files are labeled clearly as to their date of issue and that they only apply to models with Intel processors so it should be apparent you need to install the latest one and only of your machine has an Intel processor. If you need anything else let us know.

HP Pavilion p7-1221 Desktop PC only boots with 1 ram stick in after bios update

Hello, I updated my BIOS because it was suggested by HP support. My PC did not want to start afer that. I did some reasearch and tried several things, like unplugging the power supply and taking out the CMOS battery. I even referenced the beeping codes. I narrowed it down to memory problems, "I think". I took on out the sticks and made sure they were okay, placed them back and it booted. The I shut it down and it would not boot again. I took out one stick and it booted. It's been several weeks now and I have to take out 1 stick and boot, turn power off and add the other stick and it boots. What could be the problem? I read it might be that the setting in the BIOS might be different somehow. Perhaps HP overclocked my RAM or voltages issues. I don't know. Can anyone help me please? I'm not too computer literate so I would need someone to walk me through changing the settings in BIOS.

Hi,
These are the bios settings for your PC. http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&dlc=en&docname=c03383166&lc=en&product=5272748&tmp...
You might try disabling Secure boot and then reboot a few times to make sure that everything is OK. Then enable Secure Boot again.
There is a chance that the bios update has a problem. Try reflashing the BIOS or contacting HP Support.
HP's support number is 800-474-6836 or 800-HPINVENT or online here.

Pavilion m9500y wont boot after bios update

Hello Everyone,
I have a m9500y desktop that I recently did a bios update on. The update seemed to go through just fine but then when it rebooted it ended up beeping a few times and showed only a black screen. I removed the power cord and cmos battery and tried to power on after putting them back. It came back to the boot screen and hitting f10, it says "Entering Setup" and a flashing cursor, but doesn't get passed that. Is there a way to get into some recovery mode and reflash the bios again?
Thank you in advance for any help.

Hi,
There is one HP BIOS update available for your PC when using Win Vista 64 bit.
Is this the update that has failed? Did you attempt this BIOS update running a different version of Windows?
It may be possible to mod the BIOS update per above and flash again. Another option is to have HP reflash your PC's BIOS. The cost to have HP fix may not be worth it given your PC's introduction date in 2008.
This site may provide some help. Check out BIOS Recovery. Current HP PC's use AMI BIOS. Your PC may have an Award BIOS.
Or you could contact a local PC tech for assistance. The tech may be able to reflash the BIOS at a lower cost.
There is no easy fix for this problem.

BIOS Update Bricked Pavilion G6-2040NR

A BIOS update bricked my wife's laptop.
At least, that's the surmise, (cap lock flash and all, I have 30yrs around computers, not a noob) given it hasn't worked since mid-June, and there was an update for it June 17 2014.
I've gone through every step on another support page on this same site, http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Other-Notebook-PC-Questions/How-to-use-the-HP-BIOS-update-uefi-utility/... , but the phoenix tool suggested in step 7 to download doesn't do the job it is supposed to on update file sp66880 to enable me to complete getting a USB stick together capable of recovering the system.
I cannot for the life of me find an update of this same tool to work in the same manner (beitas solution was posted March 4, 2013; update was 15 months later, it's 22 total months later, I figure there must be an update).
I'm through step 6 and just stumped. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

We did try all of that in diagnosing that it's restore BIOS via USB or nothing. The page I referred to in my original post seems to be my only option at this point.
The issue at hand, is: (c/p from http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Other-Notebook-PC-Questions/How-to-use-the-HP-BIOS-update-uefi-utility/... ), posted by http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1385209 (if I could somehow tag him)
]]6. Download and run the HP Notebook System BIOS Update from the HP support drivers page.
]]- Now this file will be named sp****.exe. DO NOT RUN THIS FILE ON OTHER PCS... Extract this exe (with winrar, 7zip etc)
]]- There you will find the biggest file(by size) in the folder, it can be *.bin, *.ph or whatever. Just find it, DONT DO ]]ANYTHING YET.
]]7. Now download the phoenix mod tool from here:
]]http://www.sendspace.com/file/xxd63k (or google it...)
]]- Extract it and open the PhoenixTool.exe, open the *.bin file you found in original BIOS.
]]- Let it do it's word and keep clicking ok..
Step 7 is where I am stuck. The Phoenix Tool available there errors out on trying to open the BIN files. I've searched for a more recent Phoenix Tool since his post, considering his solution preceeded the most recent BIOS update, but to no avail.
