Update bios via boot usb

HP mini 5101 product FM978UT#ABA
Current bios F.02
According this manual http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=32...
I'm finish 3 steps, and I have a USB stick with
68DGI.BIN
config.sys
gpl2.txt
KERNEL.SYS
ROMPAQ.EXE
after I'm put this USB to HP5101 and power on, and it loading system, don't update bios
p.s. BIOS system default.

Are you saying that you are trying to update the BIOS through USB, but you are unable to?
Are you receiving any kind of error messages?
Thanks,

Z87-GD65 - updated BIOS gives no USB at all

hi,
i had the MSI live update application, well, updating my BIOS recently.
and now my whole system is non-functional
what an update!
when booting i can use the keyboard to get into the BIOS/EFI settings
but as soon as windows 8 x64 starts all USB connections are disconnected.
any suggestions on the settings that i have to have to enable windows 8 to function again?
thanks,

thanks for your comment ...
BIOS updating is a necessary thing as MSI does not support my GPU on its mainstream BIOS updates.
as it happens, another member of the forum told me that these BIOS updates were actually supported by MSI:

well, if this motherboard worked as it was supposed to - there would be no need to spend days trying to troubleshoot it
in short, I would say **avoid** MSI like to plague
with regards,

Updated bios via Live Update and now my Network card isn't detected

I have an msi Z87-GD65 Gaming Motherboard and I updated some drivers and the bios via msi Live Update 6 last night and now my computer refuses to recognize my network adapter. The adapter is a TRENDnet N600, plugs into PCIe if I'm not mistaken. Wifi if my only option with this computer, I can't use ethernet, so it's really important I get the network card working again. I have had zero issues with it until this.
The reason I was updating was to try to get my third monitor to work when plugged into the mobo, while my other two were plugged into the graphics card (which I also installed yesterday, but it's working fine). Note that it still was not working, but I had enabled the IGD Multi-Monitor from bios.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. I did try uninstalling the drivers but it still won't detect the network card. I also tried disconnecting and reconnecting the network card (and I cleaned the port for good measure).
I've only been using Windows computers for a year, so bear with me if there's stuff I don't know. Thanks in advance. I can try to get a full list of what was installed later tonight, but all of it that I can find has been uninstalled at this point.
Note: I did not flash the bios when I installed, which I have now heard is a bad idea, apparently. l:

what OS you are running?

have you tried to load last good known configuration or the last windows restore point?
or to reinstall OS?

Edit: if anyone knows if thiers like a spec sheet for the bios for the differences updates be helpful as well

good news i can now disable quiet boot again ;0 even got pci timer clocks back the only thing that looks missing would be VT disable/enable not that i use it anyways ;p also seems like my fan got a lil louder i didnt notice a difference before but now when i hit cool boost button it turns on right away lol well like 3 sec lag still, but thats normal to when i first got it so im happy :p its back to what i like/need
enjoy the info and have a happy notebook bios time ;p use the tool :p defintely with sound turned off it works but damn thats loud lol :p

If you have a Mid 2010 model: Computers that can be upgraded to use OS X Internet Recovery. If later then see below:
Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
If you have an earlier model:
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
     1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
         with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
         After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
         a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
     2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
         button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
         After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
         size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
         partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
         and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
         (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
     3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
         with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
     4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
         Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
         username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
         Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
         install of OS X. You can now begin the update process by opening Software
         Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

Updated Bios... Cant Boot

I have a X79A-GD65 (8D) and I decided to update the BIOs via the update software from USB. I went from 1.8 to 4.4. Everything was successful until it got in this loop of starting for a second then turning off. Then doing that forever. So I tried resetting the cmos by taking out the battery. That failed... Then I switched the bios from A to B. Now on B it shows B2 then I just get a blinking _ forever. I took out all my ram except for one 4 gig stick. I do have a 770GTX in there which maybe the issue. But I cant see anything without it. Theres no other video input. So what did I do wrong and how do I fix this? I dont even know why I tried upgrading my bios uhg it always ruins .
Any ideas? The hardware is all good. Just the bios being a bitch.

I am getting a gbr error now when updating. It fails.
Error 459:
PDR region does not exist?
Are you using option 1 of the forum tool pointed at the compressed archive? (You aren't decompressing or anything like that?)
If so you may have to do a manual FPT flash.
The application is here:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=163549.msg1198800#msg1198800
place the application/ fparts and bios file on a dos bootable usb stick
sytax: fpt -f [name of bios] -savemac
I am assuming you will get the error and will need to re-try w/o the -savemac
once done you will need to re-store the mac address.

U330 Bios Update Issue, no boot device

Hi guys,
just wanted to let you know, that after updating to the latest bios firmware, my U330 said, that it could not find any boot devices.
The solution is pretty straight forward, just enter the bios (which is Fn + F2, even if you changed the Fn thingy before). I think, the only thing I changed was, using legacy instead of UEFI and that worked. Kinda strange since especially the windows 8 bootloader should support uefi.
Just wanted to let you guys know, in case you experience the same issue.

My mistake. The solution with changing the boot menu is correct.
To enter the BIOS is necessary to use a NOVO button. I used "reboot into BIOS" via Windows or the shortcut F2 during startup. Unfortunately, this method is wrong.
Solution: It's necessary to use the NOVO button to enter the BIOS.

Macbook Pro won't boot into safe mode or via bootable USB key

Hi,
Am running OSX Lion latest version on my Macbook Pro 4,1 and can't get the thing to boot from any source. Always get's stuck at the grey screen with apple logo. Have tried all the following...
- Straight Boot (power on)
- Boot via Recovery HD (hold option on bootup then select)
- Boot via Safe Mode (Holding Shift on bootup)
- Boot via Safe Mode Verbose (Shift, Command, V)
- Boot via bootable Lion USB Key (Hold option, and choose the USB drive - not the same USB key works on my other macbook pro)
On every one (except verbose) it just get's stuck on the grey screen with spinning timer thingie.
I have done PVRAM reset, SMC reset and have reseated the RAM and all to no avail. I'm pretty sure the problem was caused by removing battery at wrong time (device not responding after sleep mode started and I plugged in power - should have been more patient!)
I have a Time Machine backup but it's a bit older than I thought and very much want to get my newer photos off it before rebuilding - not that Time Machine would work in current state anyway.
So what are my remaining options? Will I have to open it up and remove the HD as next step or is there anything else left to try? Can I remove the HD and connect it via a USB caddy to my existing Mac to recover info (hardrive spins and sounds ok to me)?
Any advice appreciated...

Yes, once the data is off you can use Disk Utility to Erase the entire drive (Lion + Recovery) with the Zero option (one selection below 7x) then use the Lion USB to install it fresh and stick it back into the machine.
Thanks for the info - I removed the HD and data is all ok on there so very happy about that. Before I wipe the data (all backed up now) I thought I would try booting the mac without any harddrive installed - using a OSX Lion bootable USB. However, still can't get past the grey apple screen and circle icon whirling away. I know the USB works ok, as tried it in my 2011 Macbook Pro and it boots absolutely fine.
I am happy to wipe the HD now and start again, but seeing as the DVD Drive is broken I'll probably need a USB drive boot to install OSX onto the wiped HD anyway. I'm a bit lost as to what to try now.

Updating Pioneer 111D firmware VIA external USB connection

Hi all
I have a Pioneer 111D that I would like to update it's firmware from 1.16 to 1.29(?) but since
Pioneer doesn't do any firmware programs for Macs I would like to use my new MacBook (intel)
Bootcamp and do the update with a NewerTech USB 2.0 Universal Drive Adapter (http://www.newertech.com/products/usb2_adapt.php) but I'm not sure if it can be done via USB or it
has to be an internal connection. Any help with this would be very welcomed!!!!
Thanks!!!!

I don't think usb firmware update will work. you could pull the optical and take it to a small pc shop and have them flash it for you.
or try here:

K7T Turbo2 - how do I tell BIOS to boot from USB?

I have an old K7T Turbo2 system, and I'm trying to install Windows 7 on it. I guess that's my first question - am I going to run into any nasty problems running W7 on this board, other than RAM limitations? I have a version of "Tiny7" (which installs from CD-ROM) installed already and it seems fine, but I'd rather run a fuller non-pirated OS, and that means installing from a DVD/iso. I don't have a DVD drive installed and it would be a bit of a pain to acquire one, so I'm hoping to boot from USB to winstall W7.
I have a PCI USB2.0 card installed in the system, which seems to work fine. I've set the BIOS to boot from USB-FDD (but I've also tried USB-CDROM and USB-ZIP). I have BIOS 3.6. I've tried booting from the PCI USB2.0 hub (will that ever work or does the BIOS not recognize it?) and from the regular USB1 port on the mobo (but my USB flash drive is USB2).
Is there something else I need to do in the BIOS to get this to work? Will it never work no matter what I do?
I read somewhere about a BIOS setting to "enable legacy USB support" but can't see anything like that in my BIOS settings.
Any suggestions? (thanks in advance)

If there is no option to boot from USB-HDD then it may never work.
Long shot I know, but what if you connect your USB drive, then power on your system, and press F11 when the logo/POST screen appears, does the drive show in the Boot Menu that appears?

Really? DVD drives are very common, and cheap as chips! You can pick up a brand new DVD writer, for the price of a (good) DVD movie.

Why did you remove HD Audio via MINI USB out in Lollipop update?

I am really upset. I would never have updated to Lollipop if I had known you had removed HD Audio output via mini USB. Why?? Is it coming back? You still advertise this tablet as having this feature when sold, but then you take it away?

I am wondering how we best get sony to hear and understand this issue.Currently the Lollipop Walkman app (8.5.A.3.3) is feeding all audio through the android framework (analogous to the Windows Kernel Mixer), which results in unnecessary signal processing and is detrimental to audio quality. If the Xperia Z Series and the Walkman app are to support Sony's positioning as a brand for audiophiles, they need to set this right.There should be a choice to send audio directly to the internal or an external USB DAC without any processing at all (similar to WASAPI in Windows)Material with >96kHz samplerate should be downsampled in integer ratio. 192 -> 96, 176.4 -> 88.2 to achieve maximum qualityIn the user interface there should be an indication of the bit depth/samplerate of the source file and the bit depth/samplerate that is sent to the DAC. Then one would see immediately, whether the source file is sent to the DAC bit-perfect or not.The USB Audio Player Pro app does most of these things right, which goes to show that it is not impossible to do this. Someone simply needs to sit down an do it. Am I the only one to see this as an issue?

Will Z87 GD65 Gaming boot with 4790k in order to update BIOS?

So, I have a Z87 GD65 Gaming motherboard.
I was planning on buying a 4770k cpu, but changed my mind to 4790k. The motherboards supports 4790k in the last release of BIOS.
Do i have to buy a supported CPU (or send to a local store) to update BIOS or can I boot directy with the 4790k and update?
Thanks.

board needs to be at least at bios 1.9 to even post with a Haswell refresh cpu. While 4790K is officially supported with the later bios 1.A it should at least post with 1.9. Therefor a boar manufactured before 2014-02-24 will not work out of the box with a 4790K and a supported Haswell cpu to flash or update by a shop will be needed to use the cpu.

I can not use my mouse or keyboard when I am trying to install windows via boot camp

Please can you help!
I can not use my mouse or keyboard when I am trying to install windows via boot camp

Starting a couple of days ago my mouse and keyboard stopped working suddenly.
How are they connected? In my case they are wireless and their receiver is plugged into my USB hub. After an update I found the OS inexplicably not recognizing my USB hub and hence any devices which were plugged into it. My fix was to
plug the receiver into a different USB port (so I could use the mouse and keyboard; otherwise I would have had to use the OSK via Touch or pen.) Once I had normal access into my machine again I used Device Manager to remove all USB controller and
hubs (including hidden ones) and I then shut down, disconnected all USB devices and powered back up, this time using only Touch to get going. Once the OS had settled down I started plugging stuff back in the way that I wanted it to be recognized.
If I didn't have Touch I would have had to have left the wireless receiver plugged in both places which I assume would be OK. I have no idea why updates have such a catastrophic effect for USB devices.
