X220 4286-CTO can't update new bios

I get the new X220 today and want to update the new bios because the "unexpected CPU throttling mode" problem.
But when i using system auto update, it can't found any new bios(my bios is 1.12) for my system.
So i manually download the 1.17bios from the lenovo websit.
but when i install it, it also failed to refresh and indicate as follow:
The process does not recognize this system.
The process has been canceled.
Could anybody tell me what the problem was?
My system is X220 4286-CTO, but i can't find my type on the web selection. And if I use autodetection,it confuse my system as X220i 4286-CTO.
I want to update to new bios.How can i do?
THX!!

hoang0100, my apologies as I haven't understood you clearly...
May be you try flash BIOS via setup after laptop boots?
The BIOS flashing process is simple - just download the BIOS image and Update Utility (in one pack) from Lenovo's web site. Presently the last version of BIOS is 1.17, direct link on US site for your laptop model is here http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS018805.
Download and launch exe file, setup process will start. You'll be promptetd the path where files will be extracted. At the end of installation process you'll be asked to start the flashing process automatically. Close all applications, plug-in AC adapter and start. You'll see the process. Don't do anything on laptop during that process, about one minute. At the end your laptop will be rebooted. That's end. Also you'll get backup copy of your current BIOS, that file has name bios.bak.
Note you can flash new BIOS or re-flash manually by launching winflash.exe.
Cheers

  • I can't upload new BIOS f.40 on my Probook 4740s

    Hi. I can't upload new BIOS or older BIOS on my laptop. why? How can I fix it? I bought a new laptop from store with windows7 in it, but it doesnt work correctly. I downloaded a new BIOS f.40 from HP site, it showed me, that BIOS instaled in my pc is F.01. I find out, that it isn't for my computer. maybe that because I cant upload new BIOS? So, how can I solve this problem? I downloaded a programe for BIOS to flash BIOS from usb stick, but I couldnt finde BIOS F.40 right for that program.

    Hello dziugesiukas.  I understand you're trying to update your BIOS.
    There is a F.40 version of your notebook's BIOS.  Here is a direct link.
    What happens when you try and install this BIOS?  Do you get an error?
    I"ll keep an eye out for your reply.  Have a great day!

  • HT2292 gnature can't can't update new version of itunes due to error message saying invalid siupdate new version of itunes due to error messagecan't update new version of itunes due to error message saying invalid si saying invalid si

    can't update new version of itunes due to error message saying invalid si

    That suggests that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

  • Problem I can not Update new Nokia X6 8Gb firmware...

    Problem I can not Update new Nokia X6 firmware Version V.21.0.005,
     can someone tell me where can I get new Nokia Software Update for X6 8Gb,
     I tried to update new firmware, but this is new version is not Aviable 
    where I can get new version in my phone serial number: numbers end
     in ( 2587 ) and when will update available for my phone serial number be
    Thank you 

    Reasons why a phone cannot update:
    1. It is a country variant - country variants often get the updates later, or have updates skipped altogether. A Turkish country variant product code for example, skipped v40 and updated from v31 straight to v50.
    2. It is network branded - phones acquired from network providers or these providers' stores SIM free are branded, and will not get updates until the networks approve and modify the updates to their liking.
    3. Special editions - These special editions are chartered editions and may never get updates unless taken to a Nokia Care center.

    So you can´t update an GE60 with freedos to UEFI, is that right?
    I have Windows 8 on my GE60 freedos und the problem that my GPU won´t boost.
    Will this bug be fixed anytime soon?
    You cannot update the GE60 that came with FreeDOS to UEFI, correct.
    The GE60 does not have a GPU boost function like other models do. It does have a built in GPU boost that is regulated by the GPU, and this was fixed with a recent firmware update (roughly 3 or 4 months ago). You should update to the latest FreeDOS/Win7 bios if you have not yet.

  • How can I update the BIOS without using a CD?

    Hello!
    I have recently decided to upgrade my RAM from 2GB to 4GB. After installing, I booted up my computer to find that it would not recognize the new memory. After doing a bit of troubleshooting, I decided to try and update the BIOS, as the version was from 2010. I downloaded the BIOS update boot CD application from lenovo, burned a disc, and on reboot I found that the boot order did not have CD listed on it. Here's the catch: I don't have the supervisor password. This is a hand-me-down laptop, and I have tried to find the password to no avail. This is the current boot order: USB drive, Hard drive. 
    My question is, can I either create a BIOS update disc using a USB, or update the BIOS some other way?
    I understand that it is impossible to recover the supervisor password without having it serviced (which I would rather not do, even if I have to send my RAM back to Crucial)
    My system specs:
    Thinkpad L512
    Bios version: 1.04
    Bios date: 2010-3-26
    Embeded Controller Version: 1.01
    Windows 7 32 bit
    Thanks for your help.
    Solved!

    Welcome to the forum!
    Two things here:
    a) If you run System Update, it should offer the latest BIOS for your machine as well. I've never done it on a passworded unit, so it might or might not work but might be worth a shot.
    b) I doubt that the ability of the system to recognize new RAM has anything to do with the BIOS. ThinkPads much older than yours will run 4-8GB RAM with an old BIOS, older than your machine to begin with.
    Good luck.

  • GS70 Stealth after update new bios and firmware

    my GS70 after update the new BIOS w8_E1771IMS.50E and Firmware w8_1771EMS1.508 now laptop become so warm...
    when i am playing game the CPU temperature can reach 90'c。

    4th Generation Core i7's are pretty well known to generate more heat than the 3rd generation, and as such the expected temperatures for the mobile chips has tended to be higher than the previous generation.
    90C is getting hot. On top of all that, you're in a GS70 case, which is small and very enclosed, which means the cooling is going to be even worse. 90C all things considered, isn't terrible. At 100C I would start worrying.
    If it worries you this much though, call MSI and see what they think.

  • T410, update new BIOS, SLIC misssing!

    I updated the new BIOS for T410, then I found SLIC missing, and now Windows 7 can't be activated.

    Out of curiosity, what is SLIC, and where does one see it in the BIOS screens?  I've been in there a few times poking around on my T510 and have never noticed any references to SLIC.

  • CPU Socket Type - X220 (4286-CTO) with Intel Core i5-2520M

    Hi,
    I just purchased a ThinkPad X220 (model number 4286-CTO) that comes with an Intel Core i5-2520M CPU.  It should be delivered in the next couple of weeks.
    Can anyone tell me if the motherboard for this model laptop accepts BGA-1023 or Socket G2 processing units?
    Thanks

    well it is not socket CPU, it is directly soldered to the motherboard, you can't upgrade the CPU on the motherboard.

  • CAN'T UPDATE THE BIOS!!

    I have a Z60m and i would like to update my bios from version 1.12 to the latest. I downloaded the utility on the website, it says that my laptop should shut down and the restart in update mode but all i see is a regular restart of my laptop and no bios update.
    Did anyone had this problem?

    You probably need to update the embedded controller to a version that the new BIOS can work with, check the information offered on the download site.
    Now, before you ask; I know it says that if you need to update both BIOS and embedded controller you should update the BIOS first, it says the exact opposite on the embedded controller download site - confusing
    Just choose your updates and versions carefully.

  • NOKIA 5610 CAN'T UPDATE NEW FIRMWARE 6.60&7.12!!!!...

    juz now i 've found tat there r 2 new firmwares available for download .BUT it is only for other country!!my software updater oso shown tat my firmware now(4.18)is the newest..y we can't update our phone's firmware while ppl from other country can????

    These questions come up time and time again. Two main factors affect this:
    (1) Updates are phased in around the world because there are numerous regional variants, it is not just a single softwarfe for any particular model worldwide. Some regional variations may lag behind others.
    (2) If the phone has operator-version software instead of standard Nokia software, Nokia must await the approval of the network before it may release updates.

  • Tecra M3 - Can't update the BIOS

    Hi,
    I have a Tecra M3 (PTM30E) and TEMPRO is telling they're 2 bios updates for the machine.
    I have downloaded them, but when I run them I am told the computer is not supported. How do I update the BIOS?
    Best wishes
    Michael

    Why to hell do you need a BIOS update?
    Only because the Tempro said that there is a new update?
    Tempro sends only a notification that a new file has been uploaded
    Its not a recommendation that you have to update this!
    So if your notebook runs trouble free dont update anything!!
    I always follow this advice; never change a running system! And its really wise advice

  • GX70 Destroyer - Can I update my bios?

    Hi,
    Can anyone help me by telling if it's safe to update my current bios? My bios version is E176KAMS.50F.
    My concern is that on my product page: msi.com/support/nb/GX70-3CC-Destroyer.html#down-bios&Win8.1%2064
    the provided bios' version is: E176KAMS.L0H
    And because I saw this warning, i'm a little concerned:
    Please download BIOS corresponds to the version in your notebook. For example, if a notebook is equipped with version E1763IMS.300, then please download version E1763IMS.3XX. Users should be aware that using incorrect BIOS version can result in a bricked system.
    I want to update because I'm getting random freezes which force me to hard reset my computer. This has been happening since I bought it (4 months ago).
    Thanks in advance

    Quote from: RX-8 on 18-May-15, 14:09:00
    It's okay to update to L0H from 50F.
    You will need to also update the video BIOS.
    They will kick you GPU frequency back to 1250Hz again and it's good for performance.
    Thanks for the reply RX. I've read that warning too yes; I've never flashed vbios before. Is the order of execution first the Bios then the vBios?
    And do i need to prepare the vbios flash in advance or can i flash the bios then launch the pc and prepare the vbios afterwards?
    Thanks again.

  • MSI H61M-P21 (B3) - Won't start, how can I update the BIOS?

    Hello Everyone!
    I just bought an MSI H61M-P21 (B3) Motherboard along with Intel Celeron G530 Sandy Bridge (2.4 GHz) and 1 DIMM of 4GB DDR3 1600 KingMax. I use NJOY 500W true power as power supply. The system starts but no image, no beep code, nothing... Testet with another DIMM of RAM (4GB DDR3 1333 KingMax), but no luck. Tested with another power supply (450w true power), no luck again. I have tested the motherboard out of case, put on an antistatic surface, no luck... Reset CMOS, same situation: no image, no beepcodes...  On the Main BIOS Chip of the motherboard is a little sticker on which is written "E7680IMSH30" - i guess that the motherboard comes 'shipped' with 7680vH3 BIOS.
    Is there a possibility to update the bios without replacing the CPU or send the board to RMA? I'm almost sure that the problem is around here...
    Thanks in advance! Any answer is welcome!
    P.S.: I appologise for my bad english.

    Good morning.
    I've tested the motherboard this weekend with another DIMM of 4GB DDR3 1333, ThermalTake PSU (500W, i don't remember the model) and Core i3-2120 CPU - those components were taken from another IDENTICAL motherboard H61M-P21 (B3) with same version of BIOS. Didn't worked... I have tested my Celeron CPU G530 on the functional H61M-P21 (B3) and it's working...
    So, there is a problem with my mainboard, i will send it to warranty.
    Thanks a lot. Have a nice day!
