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:
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp55001-55500/sp55299.exe
manually to a folder, close all running applications (browser, etc..) and then install it by double clicking on it and following the instructions..
Dv6-7000 /Full HD/Core i5-3360M/GF 650M/Corsair 8GB/Intel 7260AC/Samsung Pro 256GB

BIOS Update failing to install via HP Support Assistant.

I have tried four times to install a BIOS update (Rom Family SSID 2AF7; Version 80.20Ap1) provided within the Support Assistant, on each occation the update fails to install. I get no error messages. The computer restarts, but the previous BIOS version (AMI 80.19 (2014-07-18)) remains installed.
I have tried stopping my antivirus program, but this didn't help. I have noticed that the command screen hangs with a flashing cursor, but no instructions are visible and then my computer restarts.
Is it possible that the update is corrupt? Any advice on how I should proceed would be welcome.

Why are application updates failing to install from application manager

Why are application updates failing to install from application manager?

Usually some update from another app is blocking any subsequent patches. The general cure is to run the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool, let the application manager reinstall and then let it try to update each application at the same time to prevent those version conflicts...

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.

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.

You are right. There are a lot more self-support tools available in Windows

The upgrade is not the 11.0.06, but that is an update. The upgrade is what
you can purchase if you had a previous version of Acrobat (at least AA 9).
The upgrade is substantially less in price than the full product. With the
upgrade you also have to have the SN of the previous product available for
the install. That is why I asked about the upgrade. Once you install AA XI,
then going to 11.0.06 is a free update (updates are changes in the
sub-version and are done quarterly or when there is a critical security
issue). You can often fix installations by running a repair. In Windows
that is done either from Help>Repair or from the Control Panel. I do not
know the equivalent of the Control panel in the MAC. In any case I am glad
you got it fixed.

CS5 updates fail to install

In the process of updating to Windows 8.1, I've started with a fresh install of CS5 and LR. CS5 installs without problems, but fails to update. It appears to be downloading the updates, but gives the error : "Some updates failed to install", providing a list of all components of CS5. Each component reports "There was an error downloading this update. Please quit and try again later". Having tried several times, each with the same result, I contacted adobe customer support using the link provided: Error "This serial number is not for a qualifying product" | CS6, CS5.5, CS5"
Adobe support confirmed that there was no problem with the serial or license, and referred me to the forum. The forums do not appear to have a clear solution to this issue. Some updates are available for manual download, but it appears not all of them. I'm not sure why the product update installer is included in CS5 if it is not functional. This seems like a possible case of a broken link for the installer, but there does not seem to be a way to update the installer itself.

I was just referred to the forum as well for the same issue. My serial numbers are verified and registered. I see here that this is the place to go for unanswered questions. I think the main issue here is that Adobe doesn't want to offer support for older products. Likely, Adobe is trying to force us into purchasing the upgraded software. If anyone has found a solution, please feel free to share it with me as well as I have an identical situation.
Adobe offered that I call tech support. Last time I tried to contact adobe via telephone, it took more than a half an hour just to get a rep on the phone and of course their solution was to buy cs6.
Best of luck to ya.

Updater failed to install

All,
I am having a problem with the Adobe Updater.
The following banner message is received on my Mac:
A new version of the adobe updater is available for installation. Click OK to install it now
Note: you may be required to authenticate in order to install
When I attempt to install, the system refused the installation, giving the following message:
Adobe updater failed to install
Can anyone help with a suggestion on how to correct this?
-Boijacks

I ran into this same issue after a fresh install of CS3 under Leopard 10.5.6. Here's what worked for me:
After canceling the endless loop of Adobe Updater and it's "Adobe Updater failed to install" message, I did the following:
I moved ~/Utilities/Adobe Utilities/Adobe Updater5 (which contains the old Adobe Updater version 5.1.0.1082) into the Trash.
Create a new folder at ~/Utilities/Adobe Utilities/Adobe Updater5
Now this next step is not completely detailed as I am trying to recall exactly what I did but I looked somplace in ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Updater5/and found the freshly downloaded AdobeUpdater.dmg disk image which had a newer version of the updater instead of the originally installed 5.1.0.1082 and moved this into my fresh new folder at ~/Utilities/Adobe Utilities/Adobe Updater5.
I then ran the new version of Adobe Updater and it started to install all the updated CS3 components. This would not work directly off the disk image or at the wrong location. I had to manually move the new updater app to ~/Utilities/Adobe Utilities/Adobe Updater5 before running it.
If anyone tries this, please add/check the details of the paths.
By the way, the tilde ~ in the paths above represent your /Users/username home directory.
Hope this works for you,

Flash CS4 10.0.2 update failed to install

The flash CS4 10.0.2 update fails to install no matter how many times I try or restart my machine. A flash media encoder update and a flash lite update also fail. Can someone please help me figure out how to fix this?
I've searched the forum, and I'm aware of this thread
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/432619?tstart=0
but it does not provide a solution that works for me. I posted there, but I wasn't sure it would be answered because the thread was listed as already answered.

If anyone else searches and finds this, I was able to fix my problem by running the clean script
http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs4clean.html
and then reinstalling flash cs4.
Also, adobe effectively does not have a technical support phone line. They have one in name only. You'll just be put on hold endlessly, disconnected randomly, and given the runaround constantly if you ever do manage to get through to a live person. Like everyone else, adobe has apparently outsourced their support to people who have no idea how to troubleshoot anything, and can barely parrot from a prewritten script. There is no light at the end of the phone tree - you can't get water from a stone, so don't waste your time like I did.

Illustrator CS3 13.0.2 update failed to install

Received an automatic update. When I clicked to install, the update returned this message:
Installation Incomplete
Adobe Illustrator CS3 13.0.2 update failed to install
The update cannot be applied to the product.
Say what?
I'm at Illustrator CS3 13.0.1. First time an CS3 update dug in its heels and sneered back at me.
Anybody got a clue about this? Bad update?

Ok, guys. This is going to be a bit loose, but may help. It is how I got a failed CS3 update to install. I think but am not sure that the install initially failed due to inadequate free space on one of the relevant partitions. I then believe but am not sure that the retract procedure, which is pretty good in general, messed up the registry 'slightly'.
- first, the 'this installation failed' was driving me insane, of course. So finally I tracked down that there are logs, and where they are. Translating from a German XP, you will find those logs in: C:\Documents and Settings\YourLoginName\Applications Data\Adobe\PatcherLogs. There's one for each of your CS3 applications, and they are in text, so open the one matching your trouble.
- these logs get huge, if you've made multiple tries, as they contain every detail. Search for the word ERROR and you will probably find the point of trouble. Time and date stamps may help to locate an episode. There is also a phrase "Patching fails, Rolling back the changes done by the patcher..." which you can look for, which shows just after the original ERROR. There's another message (improperly?) marked ERROR just after, which comments 'Set status to rollback'.
- Ok, now you can see Adobe's idea why the patcher failed. In my case, it said: "Access denied to the registry key: DeviceCentral.advs\shell\Open\command".
- Well, in Microspeak that is probably pretty clear, to someone. I went looking for that key using Regedit search, helped by the cue a few lines above in the log saying "Regsirty Hive: HKCR". Presumably they meant 'Registry'.
- Obligatory message right now. If you have a log like this, and don't grok the Registry well, and know what you want to do about backups, etc., you should stop before even opening Regedit. Get someone who is very dependable and knowledgeable to do a fix for you. Have complete full reinstall backups. Etc.. Better safe than having to reinstall windows from a wiped disk, all your applications, recover all your precious data from right now where you crashed it, etc.. That valuable client project...
- Anyway, you would know what to do about the one or two key permissions if you are qualified, so would do that. In my case it was two keys which had had their owner (me) permissions completely removed.
- I mention and explain this detail so Adobe can explain it to their likely installer-builders, who seem somehow very likely to be outsourced and offshore. I have directed such groups, and don't envy the process. But something about the unwind procedure I think broke those permissions. And something about the patch procedure didn't preflight to assure there was enough disk space before getting in deep, which is the preventative side of the problem, or so I think. But I think both sides of the problem need to get fixed, unless the unwind failure might have been in an inability to write the registry.
- I will refrain from comments I made at the time which show my length of service ;)
- with all this buried under the layers of 'Automatic updater' activity which really hid any clues, I have to wonder why Adobe doesn't have some method for extracting the failure at least from logs, so this could be given to the support techs.
- I am also wondering just when and if I will truncate that log. After 5 or so tries getting to the root of issue, I now have just one of the logs at the 33MB point...
- all this was about something I will probably not use, or much besides prototyping something for a product design, Device Central. But it is very annoying, not to say concerning about futures of a big expensive and very useful package, CS3, to have repeated big failures in the update mechanism. Good to have run it to ground. And I don't do tech stuff for a long time, which shows the level of concern this caused.
- So, Adobe, please make a better situation for your many and varied 'users'. Thank you.
A nice holiday season to all, long may it last you (into Asian new year).
