[Solved]
Fixed it!
So for everyone with same model and same problem: It turns out this bios really don't boot-block. So failed bios = paperweight brick without recovery options.
But this is how I solved mine. Bought a SPI programmer, ic test clip (soic8) , some wires and made adapter to connect clip ind programmer. Had some problems , and had also to modify downloaded bios since I didnt have good backup but after little playing it fired right up. If you have good backed up rom, flashing should be easier. This is solution for those with more technical skills , but much easier than soldering the chip.

  • MSI G41TM-E43 version 1.0 BIOS Recovery help

    My PC keeps going into BIOS recovery mode and won't do anything else. It wants to grab the BIOS file off a USB drive, so I tried to download the BIOS file from MSI, put it on the drive, and then rebooted. The PC finds the drive, but keeps saying it can't find the file. I'm not entirely sure I have the right file, because the picture of the motherboard on the MSI web site doesn't match my motherboard, and the manual shows a different layout as well, presumably for version 2.
    I need to know which BIOS file to download and what to name it. I have tried leaving the name alone, and I have also tried naming it AMIBIOS.ROM and AMIBOOT.ROM, which was suggested by some sites.
    Can anyone help me find the correct file or help me reset the BIOS somehow? It may be that the motherboard is just broken, but I would like to be sure.
    Thanks,
    Matt

    Thanks for responding! It didn't occur to me to try that because all the trouble started when I removed the IDE DVD-ROM drive and installed a SATA DVD drive instead, so I figured it was related to something I had done. I'll try a new battery and see if it helps.
    Thanks!

  • USB Bios Recovery Help

    Hello Experts!
    My ENVY Ultrabook 4-1046tx (2012 model) has a corrupt BIOS.

    1. I have created a USB key with HP UEFI Support Environment SoftPAQ. HP_TOOLS drive with folders (old/new/cureent etc) created.
    2. Downloaded the BIOS (sp60574.exe)
    3. Can you pls help me with what to do next  ( Lots of approaches in forum - use phoenix tools OR place the .FD file OR insydeflash automtaically installs).
    Thank you!

    Caps Lock blinks twice/Wifi light on when Windows+B is pressed and powered on. Everytime i removed battery, took out CMOS - tried for hard reset, got a 502 checksum error. Cant see this mesage in next restart. Strange! Is CMOS battery dead or is this a motherboard issue? Do not the CMOS battery. That is old school. It does not work in newer noteboks like yours.
    Many threads suggest generating .sig and .bin and place it in BIOS folder. Will this work? Yes. That will work
    Thank you all!
    If start menu appears, choose F2.

  • MSI GT-70 2OC Aptio BIOS Recovery help

    Dear All,
    I have a MSI GT70 2OC-059US i7 running under 64bit windows 8.1 and
    I tried to update the BIOS using the instructions at     www msi com/files/pdf/Flash_BIOS_by_UEFI_BIOS_Setup_Utility_en.pdf 
    with w8_E1763IMS.50R
    USB stick I used was FAT32 on a USB3.0 port.  This computer has Aptio AMI BIOS.
    I followed the above Step-by-Step instructions to the letter and proceeded to the end of step 12. When I pressed ok at the end of step 12, screen went blank system did not do anything for about an hour.  There was nothing else I could do so I turned the notebook off from the power button.  Now I can turn on the notebook from the power button (power button light up white) but screen is completely black and no beeps what so ever (with and without USB stick plugged in).
    I would greatly appreciate if someone can guide me on how to recover my system - I have performed BIOS upgrades before on other computers without any problems and I am fairly computer literate.   What I have seen on the forum requires floppy disks and appears to be out-of-date.

    I updated my version of bios w8_e1763ıms.70s.

  • Hard Drive Failure on HP DV 6000 Pavilion laptop Windows-XP​sp3 OS - Need Data Recovery Help

    Hard Drive Failure on HP DV 6000 Pavilion laptop - Need Data Recovery Help
    HP Pavilion DV 6108 NR, RG365UA, purchased in late 2006 at Best Buy, with Windows XP, upgraded to Service Pack 3. It has a Fujitsu hard disk, 60 gigabyte, partitioned into C: and a Recovery D:.
    Windows tries to boot up, but goes to blue screen with the message: "Unmountable Boot Volume" for one second, then just keeps recycling until I force a shutdown.
    BIOS Phoenix, hard drive test result: " #1-08 Fail "
    I ran a disk analysis/recovery program on the Cdrive and it seemed to show the directory structure intact, and it was able to recover some files. I was using the free one from Seagate (which only recovers small files). The second pass didn't run so well, and during the third run the program said I should not proceed further, and I should contact a professional disk recovery company.
    However, the D drive seems to be intact, so, I wonder if the disk is corrupted or just some aspect of the logical C drive is bad.
    How can I get the D: to run the recovery software on it? The recovery disks, made by Best Buy, only proceed to the R / F / Q option screen, and when I press R, I get a blue screen every time.
    Tapping the F10 key during startup gets me nowhere. Ditto the F11 key.
    I dont care about the hard disk; it is the data (files, docs, images, etc)  that I want.
    I contacted HP to order recovery disks but they are no longer available for my computer.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    Update...
    I found a website that offers the following:
    http://www.computersurgeons.com/p-13442-recovery-k​it-435422-001-for-hp-model-number-dv6108nr.aspx
    Recovery Kit 435422-001 For HP Model Number dv6108nr
    Price: $27.00
    Recovery Kit Set (An Entire Image of the Computer hard drive when the computer was new)
    But I wonder how useful it would be. Early XP , no doubt. And if my hard disk problem is a mechanical fault, would any recovery disk even work? The disks made by Best Buy when I bought mine new in 2006 don't do anything more than go to the R /F/ Q screen and then goes to a blue screen when I press R (to recover the OS and apps and data files). And, as I wrote, it is the data that I want, not the disk drive.

  • DV6-6000 LF372AV - Fails BIOS recovery

    I have a DV6-6000 Prod #LF372AV where the BIOS became corrupted.  Didn't attempt update, just failed out of the blue.
    First symptom is turn on PC, hear fan come on then immediately reboots.  Stuck in this cycle of rebooting forever.  With no error codes (such as not even Caps Lock LED blink) I guessed corrupted BIOS. 
    I tried the Windows+B, but I've wiped this harddrive previously and the BIOS recovery partion was gone.
    So, I downloaded and ran the HP UEFI Support Environment Softpaq as directed here:
         http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c02693833.
    This partially worked.  With a Recovery BIOS loaded on the the USB flash drive, I can hold Windows+B at power up and BIOS loads off the USB key.  However, it is NOT replacing the corrupted BIOS on the laptop.
    According to the instructions, once the temporary BIOS is installed, a reboot should automatically occur.  Instead, NOW it stays on (no more spontaneous reboot cycle) and I get a 2 blink error code out of the Caps Lock LED.  It seems that the temporary BIOS loads into BIOS memory, but the stored BIOS itself cannot be overwritten.  As I stated earlier, if I reboot, I'm back to the original condition.
    So, it appears that the BIOS storage is bad. ???
    Even if that is the case, I don't understand why boot into BIOS stops at the error indicating BIOS is corrupted.  Obviously the mem copy of BIOS run off the USB flash drive is "more functioning" than the stored BIOS, but I still can't get far enough to get to the BIOS editor or any BIOS update utility.
    I tried a second method.  I downloaded the latest BIOS for this model laptop from HP support.  Then I extracted it and ran the updater.  It extracted an even newer version of the BIOS recovery tool onto my flash drive.  This had the exact same results as the UEFI Support Environment version of BIOS.  Therefore, two different versions of BIOS have failed to repair the corrupted BIOS and have failed to get me past the caps lock LED blinking twice.
    Any help would be most appreciated.

    Hi
    Workaround:
    There are few steps that has worked for few but not always..
    Restart and tap F2.  F2  will show an option “BIOS Management” . Select BIOS Management and then select “Roll Over to the previous BIOS”
    BIOS Management option will not be available if the system do not have HP_Tools partition installed or if it is deleted.
    Fix if BIOS Management is not available
    i)                    Press and Hold the Windows Key and B key at the same time when the system is turned off or follow the steps from this link: Recovering the BIOS using key press combination
    ii)                 Shutdown the Notebook. Remove the Hard Drive and then turn the computer ON and tap F10 to load BIOS. If it loads BIOS then it should rollback to previous BIOS or it might show a black screen. Just leave the system ON for about 2-3 mins and turn it on with the hard drive and check.
    Let us know how it goes!

  • Dv6-2000sl USB BIOS recovery

    Hi guys, i'm kri.
    i have a HP Pavillon dv6-2000sl that present double led blink(capslock & blocnum) I saw that rapresent bios curroption error.
    The uefi partition on harddisk called HP_TOOL was empty (contains only SystemDiag Folder).
    I'll want to create an USB UEFI bios recovery while i saw on the hp forum, but is inefficent.
    The files that i find in BIOS package (support/dv6-2000/driver/ecc) wasn't the same file that the guide use to restore BIOS via USB.   The guide isn't specific for this pc and the other online guide(not official) used or CAB.rom package o same files colled bios.wph or other exstensions.
     i could know that files copyng on usb after formatting(hp format tool?) (uefi support assistant??) and that executable put it in to recived the feedback in this page : http://h10010.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02723600&lc=it&cc=it&dlc=it     (HP BIOS UPDATE)
    Thanks a lot, im in panic. 

    Hi @kridrina 
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I understand that you are getting a double LED flash pattern on startup, meaning a BIOS problem. I am happy to help.
    Had you deleted the contents of HP_Tools at some point in the past?
    It sounds like you went straight to trying to make a usb flash device to repair/reinstall the BIOS. Have you tried a basic BIOS restore from the saved image? Mainly using the Windows+B combination as described in this page.

  • 875P Neo FIS2R BIOS RECOVERY

    Has anyone tried (I should say needed to try) the BIOS recovery feature for this board?
    I've probably flashed my motherboard 10-15 times this week trying different settings and combos.  I got my new Kingston HyperX 3500 1GB Dual DDR434 kit and started re-tweaking my machine.  Finally after using 1.74 for two days, it just would fail to boot.  Powers up, but no POST.  Resetting CMOS, and all other tricks failed.  I even tried putting back in my Samsung CAS-3 memory to see if it would boot up.  No go.
    I tried the BIOS recovery procedure as follows.  Rename your bios to AMIBOOT.ROM and put on a disk.  Hold CTRL-HOME to force the flash.  Well I tried this about 20 times, using different floppies, drives, and cables until I was ready to throw the board in the recycle bin.  
    I decided that I would give it one last try about 2am this morning.  I tried using the 1.74 BIOS as the recovery ROM, instead of the BIOS I wanted to replace it with.  Worked like a charm.  I don't know if the bootblock of the BIOS is different or what, but maybe it will help others unfortunate enough to suffer the same tragedy and kill their 875P Neo.
    I am back up and running with v1.5 which seems most stable to me versus the other revs and I've tried them all three times or more (1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.32b, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.74b).  And although I am not able to eek out any more mhz from the box, I can run tighter timings and the system gaining about 400 points in 3dMark2001.  And it DEFINITELY seems more stable than ever.  But I'm sure it's just my imagination  :P

    Yeah ive been considering going back to 1.5 to get rid of the crappy performance option (unstable overclock on the AGP/PCI and graphics card)
    Does 1.5 enable PAT? ...i never managed to test this myself (Its the only option i need from performance modes)
    I havent had the pleasure of the recovery mode yet (touch wood) ...and good job on making it back!!  :D

  • New MSI Motherboard G31TM-P21 bios recovery

    So I just got a new motherboard delivered to me yesterday from Newegg and installed it right away. At first it was working fine I just had a few other problems going on, just put a newly bought Pentium Dual core inside it and was trying to increase the processor speed thru the bios bus clock. So what happened was my friend recommended me trying to get to 3.8 ghz (originally 3.00 ghz), when I was currently on 3.3 ghz or so from increasing the bus clock to 220 (default 200). That seemed to be working out fine so I decided I'd try to get to 3.8. The bus clock on that turned out to be 254, and at the time I didnt even think about lowering ratios or ram/gpu affections. I restarted after saving the settings and then my computer started to just stop loading all together. It was like it was trying to load everything normally but would stop at random points and stay on whatever screen was there last.
    So now comes the problem, after a few reboots of freezing, I finally ended up just getting a Bios recovery requested screen before any type of other screen shows up. Its telling me to put in a usb with the bios file for the motherboard. I've had my friend helping me look up problems and we've tried soo many tests, all of them resulted in the same bios recovery screen.
    -Using 1 stick of unnaffected RAM
    -Clearing CMOS by taking out battery for at least 5 minutes
    -CMOS Jumper clearing
    I've also tried to create a bootable USB for bios flashing and put in the latest bios file and flash tool onto the USB. That results in a screen saying,
    "Please copy latest BIOS file into USB flash drive to recover your BIOS
    File not found"
    then it loops that until I take out the USB or turn off the computer.
    Also there is no FSB switch on my motherboard like there is supposed to be, there is an empty square with 6 solder holes on the board so I cant toggle the FSB back to default using those switches.
    I was using this to make a usb bootable for bios flashing: http://www.biosflash.com/e/bios-boot-usb-stick.htm
    and I was using these files from MSI to transfer on USB after making bootable USB: http://www.msi.com/product/mb/G31TM-P21.html#/?div=BIOS
    So... if anyone can help me to make this work at all I would very much appreciate it. Once I get the bios working again (assuming I can) I'm keeping to default.

    Well with the CMOS clearing I already did all of the above, except I left out the battery for 5 minutes, and ended up with the same result for bios recovery. I want to clarify that I cannot even get to the BIOS, as soon as I boot with that motherboard I get an instant black screen with text telling me to insert a USB flash drive with the latest BIOS file. There is no type of menu or anything of any kind.
    The specifications of this build was:
    MSI G31TM-P21, MS-7529 Version 1.6 (New motherboard)
    Intel Pentium Dual Core E5700 3.00GHz (New Processor)
    2 x1GB of DDR2 667 or 800 not sure (same ram on my old motherboard)
    Nvidia 8600GT 256 MB DDR3 (same card on old motherboard)
    300W Power supply (efficient enough to run old build)
    Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit
    Thats about all I can think to add right now that you would possibly need. I know the 2 x1GB of memory still works, as its in my old motherboard again and thats what I'm currently on. I dont have any other way of testing if the Processor was fried, but I'm pretty confident that it was capable of that overclocked speed since there were reviews saying so. If there's any other way I can help please let me know what u need, I would love to get this working.

  • Bios corrupted, help please!

    Hello,
    I have downloaded the latest version of BIOS firmware from Toshibas website. I checked it clearly with the model nr and serial nr. I went to the nordic site of bios update and downloaded the latest driver and BIOS.
    My laptop is Satellite P200-1A2 and the serial nr is PSPB6E-02J023N5. From Toshibas website, I downloaded all the necessary drivers and bios. I started out with the installation of BIOS, when I tried to install it, then my pc froze. My power supply was on. The fan went all beserk and the screen was all frozen. I tried to let it work for 30 min, since I was afraid to interupt the installation. I couldn't wait more, so I turned the pc off by taking out the battery and power. When I then tried to turn on the laptop, nothing happens. All black screen.
    Can anyone help? I did use the correct BIOS driver from Toshiba's own homepage, but apparently it didn't work. How can I restore the BIOS? I'm not sure what BIOS that I use. When I hold down Fn + B, and turn on the power, then all fans become crazy and DVD/HD ROM is also on.

    This must be Toshibas responsibility, since their own BIOS firmware crashed my pc. I don't want to spend money, I have already spend enought money for this old laptop alone. So I think it would be a pity, if I have had to pay for reparing my laptop.
    I followed this procedure prescisely from : http://forums.mydigitallife.info/threads/870-Bios-​Recovery-Procedures?p=26249#post26249
    1. Use HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool with MiniDOS files to make your Bootable:USB Flash Drive (Flash Drive works in rear cases).
    1: Worked perfect to make a USB flash drive, but what do you mean about Rear cases? You mean rare cases insted of rear? And I don't have a diskdrive, so how can I make an image file with boot, so I can add them on CD?
    2. Copy all the files from Rescue to your: USB Stick
    2one
    3. Rename your BIOS file to bios.wph and copy it to your: USB Stick
    3: I downloaded the same BIOS firmware and downloaded as EXE file, I extracted exe file and found a file called .ROM and I renamed the entire file into bios.wph
    4. Remove the battery, unplug the computer from the power.
    4: Done
    5. Hold down: Fn+B and while holding plug the computer in to power (do not plug the battery) and pres the power button.
    5: Done
    6. Now you should hear the flopy drive working, hold the keys for a while and then let go.
    6: I don't have a floppy drive but a HD/DVD/CD drive and that is working but with my USB flash drive, nothing happens
    7. Leve the computer for at least 10 min. and if the computer does not restart it self turn the power down.
    7: Nothing happens, I sense that it is not even reading the USB drive. So after 30 min, it still on and doing nothing
    8. Plug the battery and the power sorce and if everything went OK the computer shold start normaly.
    Note: This procedure is for Phoenix BIOS`es only and in some cases the USB Stick might not work.
    8: Yes, the USB stick doesn't work, but how can I use create a bootable image file? And what are the steps for that? I don't have a floppy drive, most PC now a days doesn't use floppy drive.

  • HP Envy 15 -J029nr "BIOS RECOVERY"

    I upgraded my BIOS and it said it was successful but now it boots with a black screen. I have tried the Windows+B Key but it flashed 2 times on the Caps Lock which means BIOS Corruption. I erased the hard drive a long time ago so I have no access to HP_TOOLS on there but I can create one for the Flash Drive.
    I read all this post
    http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Recovery/HP-​Envy-17-J029nr-quot-BIOS-RECOVERY-quot/td-p/308289​...
    and my notebook is dead.
    My question is how to get the BIOS FILES on the flash drive to flash it properly? Any idea?
    Thanks

    Hello Lcho...
    I'm sorry that you're having this issue with your Envy system.
    If you created the BIOS Recovery key from the SoftPAQ and the BIOS still does not recover, please make sure that you power on the system with the USB key plugged directly in to the computer (not into a USB hup or port replicator).  It this still doesn't work, it may be that your system has an unrecoverable error such as a corrupted boot block, hardware issue, etc.  If this is the case, you should contact the HP Support team in your country / region and they can let you know what your options are for service.
    Good luck!

  • Presario CQ61 BIOS Recovery

    Hello,
    I am having a problem with a Presario CQ61-410 SV laptop. The laptop powers up, fan starts but screen remains black and I get caps lock and num lock leds blinking twice suggesting a BIOS corruption.
    I browsed the Internet and read many forums here and there trying to recover the BIOS via a USB flash disk.
    My HDD is replaced so the USB is the one way to go.
    My first problem is that the links in the official HP support page seem to be all wrong.
    The BIOS download provided here
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4063&lc=en&cc=gr&dlc=el&sw_lang=&product=4099...
    has a BIOS for my laptop but it clearly states that it is for an Intel processor.Problem is that the CQ61-410SV has an AMD processor.
    However, I did download the provided file for the BIOS. I extracted it and got the .fd file that is supposed to be the one that needs to be flashed. I copied the file to a USB flash disk that had previously prepared withe the provided HP UEFI tool. I tried putting the file into the BIOS folders "Current" and "Previous" in the USB flash disk and powered on the laptop holding the windows key + B combination. The laptop did read from the USB returned some beeps, rebooted but then got the same bios corruption failure. I tried putting the .fd file to the root of the USB, tried changing the extension to .bin, tried different names for the files (as some posts through the Internet suggest)m I even tried different combinations of all of the above. The laptop does read from the USB disk and returns some beeps ( I even got 20 beeps) but then the problem persists. I even tried previous BIOS versions from the HP official support which also state that they are for intel processors.
    So the questions are:
    1. Are the HP links wrong? Has HP messed up their links or is it just a typo?
    2. If we assume that the downloaded BIOS file from HP is fine, what should be its name and extension (after extracted from the .exe file I get a .fd file) and where in the USB flash disk should I put it.
    3. Which is the proper BIOS recovery procedure for the Presario CQ61-410SV
    Thank hoy everybody in advance.

    It is either a typo _Or the BIOS files are wrong. I will try to get someone to check for accuracy.
