[SOLVED] Bios update fail: Dell Inspiron Mini 10 (1012) netbook

Hi everyone,
I updated the BIOS from its original firmware to A12 on this website
www.dell.com/.../DriversDetails
Unfortunately, it hang up at about Block 8/12. I waited for more than an hour and then turned it off. After that the laptop couldn't be turned on. I think I had bricked it
After searching on the web, I found some suggestions on mydellmini forum. I tried to use a USB drive to reflash the BIOS per this guide
www.mydellmini.com/.../28430-un-bricking-1012-a.html
However, no matter what key combination I tried (Fn + END or END or CTRL + END or Fn + B), the laptop did nothing. The light on the USB did come up but no flashing light, no beep-sound
Someone mentioned that they were successful only when using the USB Floppy Disk drive. I have bought the USB drive but the A12 firmware above is 4 MB and won't fit into a floppy disk
Anyone has the download link to the original system BIOS file that can fit into a Floppy Disk? I couldn't find it anywhere on the internet
Thank you very much in advance!
EDIT:
I finally got the netbook working again. These are the steps I did:
1. Got a 4 GB USB (instead of the 512 MB I used earlier), formatted it using FAT32 file system.
2. Used a PC/laptop running 32-bit Windows and plugged the USB stick in. Right click on WINCRIS.EXE file (download link below) and chose Run as Administrator. Run the program to create a recovery USB stick with the A12 version for DELL 1012. I have uploaded the folder I used on mediafire just in case someone would need it in the future.
http://www.mediafire.com/download/t7ei5facpdkxepa/BiosRecovery.7z
3. Remove the battery. Plugged it in the USB port on the right side of the netbook.
4. Held down the END key (near top right corner of the keyboard) then plugged in the power cable. The netbook turned on by itself. As soon as I heard the first beep, I let go the END key.
5. There was intermittent series of long beeps. After about 20mins, the laptop rebooted itself and asked me to remove the USB stick and press any key to continue.
6. That's it and everything is back to normal now :)

Dell Inspiron Mini

I have a Dell Inspiron Mini computer and I want to do a manufacture reset, but it keeps wanting me to do a system restore which I have picked the earliest date, but still run into the same issues. I have tried to talk to Dell numerous times, but
they keep telling me since my Dell Inspiron Mini (Windows 7 Starter) is out of warranty I would have to send my unit to their TX location for them to trouble shoot and repair, and then probably charge me some costly amount. I just want to set it back
to the Mfg default, but can't figure how.
Can anyone help me to get around this issue?
Thank you very much!!

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

[SOLVED] MSI Z97 Gaming 9 AC - Bios Update Fail

Hi,
today i decided to do a bios update of my board.
A friend of me told me NOT to use the Windows-Flash tool cause he killed two borads with it.
Ok so i used the flash utility from the bios/uefi menu with a usb-stick (M-Flash).
Everything looked ok - flash tool was running and told me success/complete and it will now reboot/reset.
At this time i wasn't able to boot anymore
It was like the board tried to read the flash but failed, reset, failed ...
Lucky for me there is this little switch for the bios chip.
Everything worked with the backup chip and i tried to reflash the broken master chip.
-> Using the MSI E-Setup with Mode "In DOS Mode. (USB)".
Booting up the usb stick and switched to master bios chip when i was seeing the "alert - only continue when you know what you are doing bla bla"-message.
Wasn't able to flash anything cause of error:
Quote
ROMID is not compatible with existing BIOS ROMID
Asking google i should use the /X option (/X - Don't Check ROM ID).
Now i got a new error
Quote
Rom image layout detected RomHole is redesigned
With this message i should use the /K option (/K - Program all non-critical blocks) i was told ... now a was able to flash the chip
And the result was: fail
I found the "HQ USB flashing tool" here and tried to flash the broken chip again (switching the bios switch from backup to master after booting), but also no luck for me ...
After a break i had an idea - at which time i can switch from the backup chip to the master chip?
The bootcode "A2" was the right for me
At the bios/uefi setup all my fans were running at full speed and i was sure this is because of the broken master chip.
So again i tried the M-Flash tool from the setup - f**k it will reset/reboot before the flash progress will start - but now i know the time to switch from backup to master chip
The tool started and i saw the same messages (everything ok, reset/reboot) as i tried it the first time.
Reboot - SUCCESS!
I wasted about three hours of my live to brick and unbrick the master chip, but i don't know why this happend
Maybe this post will help someone to fix a failed bios update.

Thanks for sharing
I used M-Flash a couple of times, just remember DON'T remove usb-stick until it reboot successfully to os....

SOLVED - BIOS UPDATE "SYSTEM DOES NOT CONTAIN the NECESSARY WMI SUPPORT for this VERSION of HPQflash

If you get infamous error when updating HP Portables (laptops/notebooks/ netbooks) BIOS within Windows:
"SYSTEM DOES NOT CONTAIN THE NECESSARY WMI SUPPORT FOR THIS VERSION OF HPQFLASH":
I am posting a solution found for own business laptop (HP 8540W & 8760W) so WebSearch engines index/register it in a few days - future sufferers come here and get a SOLUTION, finally. Disreagrd previous "experts" advises, they don't work 100% & pity on TechSupport folks who get HP paychecks yet don't know products their co. designs/manufactures (on deep Technical level):
Below is a SOLUTION (WORKING) !
Go into Services (Run "services.msc" or get there thru ControlPanel-->AdminTools-->), find following 2 services ==> make sure they're running, chances are they're NOT (as in my case I keep them disabled unless need running):
1) "HP Software Framework"
2) "HP Service" [no typo - a real plain name]
If not running, set Properties-->Manual and click "Start", make sure both are running.
Rerun BIOS updater, choose option for "Within Windows" or something to that effect (using HPQ/ROMpaq updater), rather than "create USB BootDisk on Key", this time it should work without the hassle of a BootDisk creation.
Should work from within Windows environment.
Notes:
a) Likely only one (1) service is responsible - namely "HP Software Framework" for HPQ Updater to fail, but doesn't hurt to reenable/restart both services.
I in fact am responding to other customers who elect to Update BIOS within Windows, perhaps oldfashioned but to me Boot Updater is more natural & always works regardless of WMI Support.
b) After done, don't forget:
*) Recheck BIOS settings - update may've added new and/or changed old, so rescan tobe sure.
**) Go BACK into Windows-->Services.msc & redisable both aforementioned Services if were originally disabled; or you're a computer Pro, you know what you're doing & like me keep all HP services disabled. The ones we got on EliteBook 8760W are pests consuming system resources, you just enable "Software Framework" when occasional issues emerge with HP softupdate (typically no issues) & redisable after use, rest of services are bloatware - some attempt to overrun Windows Wireless console, some seekout HP Networked printers (Ethernet, Wireless, but not USB), some do this & that - I study/know which one does what and decided to disable all. This is called a "minimalist" philosophy & turns your machine into a fast beast, I recently sold a very obsolete 4-year laptop which however handles 3DMCAD & complex designs/simulations, better new machines out fo a store, as new machines are loaded w/bloatware chocking down resources.
BUT nobody is requiring you to disable anything though.
The solution merely states the fact:
These 2 (or 1) services when not running halt BIOS Update "within Windows" (you can still run "BootDisk option", however, if preferred).
Simply restartung them solves your problem. Usually
Ya'll have a good day and enjoy!
===========
BELOW ARE IMPORTANT WARNINGS:
1) IF YOUR BIOS UPDATE STILL FAILS, SOME OTHER PIECE IN WMI SUPPORT IS MISSING - IN MY CASE WAS THESE 2 SERVICES, BUT THERE'S REMOTE POSSIBILITY SOMETHING ELSE MIGHT BLOCK UPDATER. DON'T WASTE TIME & CHOOSE "USB/BootDisk" options instead
2) Once BIOS updater does its job, will ask to auto-restart - let it go on & complete, it will self-shutdown (click "Next" to skip 60-second timer), then do NOT turn it on manually!, wait - it'll turn on by itself in 15 seconds, let it boot into Windows, you're done!
3) WARNING: close other apps before proceeding, be 100% sure your ACpower won't be interrupted or better yet - make sure battery is in/charged (so if ACpower accidentally disconnects, you're autoswitched onto battery) b/c power loss may result in severe damage to internal hardware. In the old days it'd result in fatal damage, these days powerloss would still result in a major repair (ROM chip corruption).
So to summarize: those 2 services I specified, are often responsible for whether HPQ/ROMpaq will or won't run.
Other causes possible, but I've not witnessed; and if so - choose BootDisk option.

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.

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.

HP OMNI 10 5600eg - Bios update failed

The latest bios update on my HP OMNI10 5600eg failed. Now the screen stays black and I can't get into bios nor I can start windows. The device seems bricked. Is their anything I can do to recover the device? Regards, Michael

Hi @AndreasN , welcome to the HP Forums. I understand you are looking for an instructional to install Windows 8.1 Pro x 32 on your Omni tablet.
If you are saying that you want to install a retail copy of Windows on it, I do not have an instructional for you and I have never done it on an Omni tablet. I cannot guarantee you wouldn't have any problems, but I can give you a few things you will need. Here are the drivers you will need:
HP Omni 10 5600eg Tablet Drivers
If you have Windows 8.1 DVD's you would need a computer to make an installation USB drive to get it on your tablet:
Create installation media for Windows 8.1. There are many other instructionals out there as well, if you need more info.
If I am wrong, and you just mean to do a factory reset, these instructions cover that: Recovering Software on Your HP Tablet (Windows 8)

Hi,
If you laptop works well, don't update it. If not, don't use HP Support Assistant or any other program for updating/downloading the BIOS!! Download it:

manually to a folder, close all running applications (browser, etc..) and then install it by double clicking on it and following the instructions..

"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 Fail - Under Warranty but No Support

Hi,
New to the board and looking for some help. I have a w500 still in warranty. We have been having issues with running Vista and the machine not rebooting after hibernation. Today I found some time to run updates using the pre-loaded ThinkVantage software on the machine. There were quite a few on there including a Bios update... upon running the updates and the machine restarting at the end, I get a black screen.... and nothing... the power lights are on but not more.
I have called Lenovo tech support and they advised me that because I did the Bios update (as part of the many updates that were suggested I required) I have voided my warranty support for this problem.... apparantly I was made aware of this as part of the disclaimer prior to running the updates!!!
Does anyone have any suggestions on steps forward from this point?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

In there you have the old bios versions : http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-74858#version
NO!!! Don't install that update (assuming the installer allows you to do that.)
That link is to the BIOS update for the ThinkPad W510 No wonder your machine may fail to boot correctly after installing that.
You want to create a bootable CD with the latest BIOS for the ThinkPad W500 which can be found at http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-70354 There are links to earlier versions of the BIOS for the W500 at the bottom of that page as well, if you want to go back to the original version delivered out-of-the-box, but there's no real reason to do that.
Booting from a CD is probably the safest method of updating the BIOS, since it does only that update without interference from any other updates or software (Lenovo's system Update should really only allow BIOS updates to be installed separately from other updates). However, I don't know what happens when the updater finds that the existing BIOS on the machine is for another machine type (W510), assuming you've already tried installing the wrong update referenced in the posting above.

BIOS Update fail on T530 - Fail to do module option

I tried to update my BIOS on my T530 today. Tried both 2.07 and 2.50 (I'm running 2.04). I'm using the Windows app, not the BIOS CD. With both 2.07 and 2.50, I get the following error message: "Fail to do module option. The utility process has not completed." Can anyone help?
I saw one thread that indicated this may be because I chose the option to keep my custom start up image when presented with the option, but I was afraid to choose anything else.
FYI, now the Lenovo update utility doesn't even tell me there's a BIOS update available...it's listed in my installation history as a successful update!
Thanks for any help you can offer.
Solved!

Not problem, there is a key combo with the Shift or Cntrl key or something like that and doing the shutdown which unloads all rendering the Wiindows 8 system in true (Win7 equivalent) OFF. Just google Window 8 shutdown or hibernate. There is a lot on it out there. There is a way to change the OS to shut down that way by default but takes longer to boot each time. It is safer in my opinion since malware is not left loaded and running each time.
