Satellite A205-S4629 BIOS Update Fail - File has different BIOS part number

I have used the Toshiba support download page to identify my model A205-S4629 Satellite laptop and downloaded the following BIOS update utility sa200f0v520.exe.
After building the IOS install disk and running the Phoenix Phlash16 utility I get the following message "File has different BIOS part number".
The utility is using the following image file MW10M520.ROM.
Any input is appreciated,
Thanks,

Hi
As far as I know the BIOS package downloaded from the Toshiba US driver page contains the WinRAR 32-bit self-extracting ZIP file which includes both Windows-based and diskette based BIOS update installation options.
Did you try to update the BIOS using Win-based BIOS?
What OS do you use?

You must install all Windows 8 Update, before you windows 8.1 Update use
Never use MS Defender and other antivirus software.
After successful system update, install this software

System BIOS update failed

Hello,
I need your help. I ran HP System Diagnostics following recent BSOD incidents (about 3) on my Pavilion dv6. I ran all the tests successfully except Memory Test as it takes 6 hours (approximately).
Interestingly the BIOS test came up with an error message "The System BIOS update failed. Failed reading BIOS image file". I tried running BIOS driver update from th HP website for my dv6 notebook but I am not sure it worked. During the update the computer would shut down - is that normal?
What can I do to check that my BIOS from 25 January 2013 is the current version? More importantly prevent future BSOD appearing. I have plenty of memory, so rather intrigued. Ran Norton and Microsoft Security and no viruses etc.
Hope you can help.
Many thanks,
Barbs

Hi,
So the system shut down is normal for BIOS update and if I can restart the computer, therefore assuming the update worked.
I checked HP System Diagnostics the BIOS test still returns with an error message "The System BIOS update failed. Failed reading BIOS image file".
Any other suggestions?
Thanks again,
Barbs

P67A-GD55 (B3) Bios update fail

Hi all. I just tried doing a bios update using the Windows USN method and now my computer is stuck in an infinite loop and will not finish the bios update. I tried a bios reset a couple of times with no luck. Does anyone have any suggestions?
I am using a i5 2500K an SSD with Win7 and 8 GIG of 1333 Dual channel RAM.

The bios chips is soldered not in a socket. The chance to get the old one out and the new one in is very slim if you are not really good at electronics and have proper tools for those minature dimensions. Besides a bios chip is of no use if you can't flash it. If the chip is not preflashed the chip wouldn't be of more use than the current one. Still you'd need an SPI flash programming device. As the chip is already at 20 bucks and of no use it is more useful to save some more for a new board. Also you could contact MSI as they are offering to flash boards for a reasonable price in many markets. >>How to contact MSI.<<
Thanks for the input. I am aware of these facts and looked into doing it myself and discovered that the EPROM is soldered and not a socket-ed version. You are right...my old eye site, etc. would not allow me to accomplish this feat. The EPROMS on Ebay are already programmed with the latest BIOS, by the way. I guess I will either sell the mobo as is or look at getting it fixed by a pro or MSI in the near future. In the mean time I decided to cut my losses and am waiting for the delivery of an ASRock Z77 Extreme4 board. (for a very reasonable price with discounts applied).
Gonna miss the old board because of it's great overclocking. When I first got it I had my i52500K running up to 5 GHZ and stable at 4.8 GHZ. I am not going to miss the standby problems it was prone to though. The BIOS boot was slow also. Oh well gave me an excuse to upgrade to a newer chip set MOBO.
Rock on MSI dudes!

One file has different names

I've never seen this before. A file has different names. See the get info: note the name at the top doesn't agree with the name & extension below. See the ls -l in the terminal as compared to the finder name.

Hi Robert, I've seen that a couple of times with Packages, I think it comes from them changing the Name of the APP but not in the Info.plist in the Package.
My BJPrinterUtility.app is version 3.2.0 and has "BJPrinterUtility.app" in all places.

"BIOS ME update....file not found " since a P67A-GD65 bios update failed

Hi everyone,
I've decided to post this little message after looking for a solution over the web and over the MSI forum because I've got a problem since the BIOS update of my P67A-GD65 MB.
I've followed the update process for the 4.32 BIOS using an USB key, the update started but did not continue after reboot, and since My PC is out of order
The "BIOS ME update....file not found " message is displayed after lots of booting tries, using plenty of methods.
I've looked and tried all the techniques I could find over the web, I've tried :
-PC with and without SATA drives connected
-the last 4 versions of the bios found on-line, even the original version of my MB before updating (1.19)
-4 different usb keys (from 128 Mb to 4 GB)
-all front and back usb ports
Each time, on each usb key, there were several bios versions, even one renamed to AMIBOOT.ROM for testing the recovery method.
I've also tried to make the keys bootable by using the “MSIHQ USB Bootable” tool with the 1.19 bios (after the boot fix), the usb key appears in the F11 boot menu but when I select it, the PC boots but still shows me the "BIOS ME update....file not found " message.
I've also tried a clear CMOS with several power off.
I've also tried to burn a CD containing only a AMIBOOT.ROM file, and to boot on it, but same problem occurs.
In brief, it seems that my PC does not recognize my Key's content, whatever it is.
I've you got an idea to help me ?
Last precision, the update process that failed was using the 4.3 bios version, but my CPU is a not an IvyBridge .
thanks for your help

HI
I've tried with your file , that's better but not solved
the "BIOS ME update....file not found" has gone but my bios is still inacessible.
I put the usb key (with the decompressed file) and the PC starts, displays the MSI boot logo, and then shows a message for hitting F1 or F2 bla bla bla...
Whatever the key that has been hit (F1 or F2, and only the first time), the pc boots again and again after displaying the boot logo, followed by a 30 seconds black screen.
If I remove the key, I've got a message that says I have to put a key on an usb port, and when I put back the usb key , the PC starts to boot again and again.
Once again , I'm stuck.
thanks for your help

BIOS update fails on Satellite P100-429

Ive had a bad flash on my Satellite P100-429.
The utility crashed which left me with a bookend. Not happy
Ive created a floppy crisis recovery disk & bought a USB floppy drive after much hunting the internet for info.
Problem is I need verification on the exact key combination for my laptop to envoke crisis recovery mode.
On power up I have usual symptoms, flash of LEDs, power to CD-rom, power click of floppy drive etc...
I just need to verify correct sequence for key combinations.
Can anyone help?
Win-f, win-b, fn-f, fn-b, win-esc, fn-escape doesnt seem to work for me
How long to wait for floppy to start after combination etc?
Help!

Hi
I dont have experience with these BIOS recovery tools because in my opinion its a little bit too risky. This is no official way to recover a BIOS and I dont want to destroy the whole ROM module.
In my opinion if a BIOS update wasnt successful, you should go to an authorized service provider. Contact a notebook technician and explain your situation. The technician can try to reflash it and they have more experience. I think this shouldnt be a problem to contact one. ;)
Good luck!

Satellite A200 - BIOS update fail

I've made big mistake. I tryed to install BIOS update for my SAT A-200. Everything went fine but after shuting down computer doesn't boot any more.
If I start it manualy power light comes on hard drive fleshes few time and thats all.
I've got this update with toshiba TEMPRO with Toshiba. I need some advise

Same here with Satellite A110. BIOS update from Toshiba site crashed my BIOS.
Using FN+B button while poweron you will enter Phoenix BIOS Recovery Mode. You need a Floppy Drive (intern or USB) and crisis recovery disk to flash firmware.
I was able to flash my bios to old version but are now stuck with a BIOS password - which I did not set.
So I need to go to ASP afterall.

Satellite P200 - BIOS update fail at stage 3

There I was thinking, I should keep my computer up to date. So I tried to update BIOS. The BIOS update got stuck for 3 hours at some stage 3. The computer will not reboot now, not even to a setup screen. DEAD
I have read somewhere that you can make a bootable USB flash BIOS recovery. Then use a certain key combination ie Fn and B or Fn and W (can not remember). Can some one give me a step to step guide from where to download software, right to recovering my BIOS and machine?
I should not have to pay any fees to get my PC working again as it was working perfectly before this upgrade attempt. I did nothing wrong.
Thanks,
spiralvista
I have model pspb6a ocso4m (au model)

Hi spiralvista,
> I have read somewhere that you can make a bootable USB flash BIOS recovery
Yes, I did read about such threads here in forum but it doesnt always work and there is no official support for this procedure. Everything what you do with such BIOS recovery tools happen on your own risk and in worst case you could destroy the whole ROM module.
Best option would be contacting an authorized service provider because the guys can have professional tools to reflash the ROM module where the BIOS is stored. So you should get in contact with the guys and ask for help. They can also tell you how much it will cost.
Sorry that I cant give you another answer but here its an user to user forum only where you can talk with normal people like you and me Nobody from Toshiba here ;)

BIOS update failed

I am asking for help!!!
[...] I installed a BIOS update the other day and while the update was still in progress my Laptop crashed. Ever since, I cannot boot my device.
I now know there was no need for this update but it has been done and now it is screwed.
As in many forums described my screen remains black, LEDs near Lock and Roll are flushing, the fan turns on, and the DVD drive makes some noise at the start.
I've got an "HP dv5 1199eg" and have tried to follow the steps to recover my BIOS on the web site below
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02693833&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&la...
Can somebody please help by enhancing the information given on that website. I may not have done everthing needed to create my usb-key or haven't installed the .exe file properly.
Or my device might not be suitable for that!?
Thank you for your help!!!
ps.: If answering please do not use gobbledygook as my computer knowledge is limited to a certain level.

Hey, WannaKnowAbout.
I'm sorrya bout the issue you've ran across. Usually when you get a black screen it means your Hard Drive or the Motherboard is bad.
Let's try a couple of steps.
First, Follow this Document which will show you how to test the Hard Drive.
By any chance you come back with a failed Hard Drive or Memory please let me know.
Also, if you run this test and the screen is still black, you will need to take the Hard Drive out and test it that way.
You can follow this Video which shows you how to take the Hard Drive out.
After you take the Hard Drive out, Follow this Document again and test the Hard Drive.
If it allows you to get into the BIOS then you have a bad Hard Drive.
Now, if none of these steps work more than likely the BIOS crashed the Motherboard.
If that's the case, I suggest you call HP @8004746836 and see if they can assist you in replacing the notebook or getting it serviced.
If you have any more questions please let me know.

Re: BIOS update failed - DV7-7212nr

Hi,
I recently Bought Hp Envy 17t -3000 and I Updated the Bios From F.06 - F.08. The Exe file Is Sp59845. The Computer couldn't come Up On Restart. Pls I Need Guide line On How To ReFlash the Bios Image back. I don't wanna Take it Back to the Service center and I Blv I can Do It If I'm Well Guided By and Expert like U. Thnx a Million.

Hello,
I see that you're having an issue booting up the notebook. I'm happy to say there is a way to restore the BIOS. Now, I will not say it works 100% of the time.
So, let see if we can restore the BIOS.
I need you to follow this document which should guide you through restoring the BIOS.
Steps:
1.    Turn off the computer.
2.    Plug the notebook into power using the power adapter.
3.    Press and hold the Windows key and the B key down at the same time while the computer is off.
4.    Still pressing those keys press and hold down the Power button on the notebook for 3 seconds and then release the Power button and the keys.
The screen remains blank for about 40 seconds before anything appears on the display. You might also hear beeping sounds. Eventually, an HP BIOS Update screen displays.
NOTE: If the computer fails to display an HP BIOS Update screen, press and hold the Power button for 5 seconds to turn off the computer. Wait 5 seconds and try again. If, after repeated attempts, you cannot open the HP BIOS Update screen, your computer does not support this function or it has a hardware problem that is preventing the tool from opening.

5. When the BIOS have been recovered, a Continue Startup button displays and timer counts down. You can click Continue Startup to restart the computer or you can allow the timer to reach zero and the computer will restart automatically.
Figure 2: HP BIOS Update screen
6. After restoring the BIOS, if the computer repeatedly displays a message that the BIOS has been reset, and then perform the steps in HP BIOS Application Selected is Corrupt or Missing .
7. After restarting, Windows may display a message stating that the computer was improperly shut down or that a boot problem was detected. Read and respond to the screens to continue. If you have any other questions let me know. I
If this doesn't work I suggest you recover the BIOS using an external storage device. If you go this route please let me know so I can explain how to do this.

HP Compaq 8510w BIOS Update failed, stuck in bootloop.

Let me begin with how this happened. I wanted to create a Hackintosh and decided to use my HP Compaq 8510w for that purpose. But since HP whitelists what WiFi cards you can use (OS X is not compatible with Intel), I had to flash a custom BIOS that removed the restrictions. This flashing worked though it would say it failed and should be flashed again. But it would still work and load everything correctly. I finally decided to restore the BIOS but the installation failed and the laptop is now stuck in a boot loop. I want to know is there any way I can recover the BIOS (WITHOUT SENDING THE UNIT IN FOR REPAIRS) or if I need to purchase a new Motherboard for it. I have tried using the Win+B recovery method though I might have done something wrong because the laptop takes no notice. Do I have to use a USB Floppy or can a Flashdrive be used?
Thanks,
Mark

try it without naming the file. there is only one file that is a ROM filetype. That is the EUR5.14 file in the F5.14 BIOS update. There is also a F.5.11 available under XP. The OS does not matter as this is cross platform code that is loaded before the operating system.
If the preceding does not work then you wil have to go online and find a BIOS recovery company that is relatively local to you. Their websites cover what you need to do for them (provide a valid ROM file. (perhaps a eeprom chip matching the one in your PC)
Going to this level is sometimes a bit too much for non techies as it requires acquiring and properly using a special tool to remove and install the CMOS eeprom chip. I have no idea what level of expertise you have.

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.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

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.
