AMI Aptio bios recovery procedure. What i find out is that you need use key combination tu enter receovery mode. ctrl+ins , FN + B while in off state. But manufacturers change the rom file name so you dont know how to name your bios for recovery. Ok so here is the thing for AMI Aptio bios (who wants to test it please post a reply if its working). Edit bios file with HEX editor and search (hexadecimal) this string 41 00 67 00 65 00 73 00 61 Right under the AGESA dump there is name of the file for recovery in my case Asus K53U - K43BY.bin or Toshiba C660 - PWWBEU.rom Format stick to FAT32 Pictures attached please make it sticky If someone can make this more understandable rewrite.

thanks for relpy. i have done all kind of combination e.g. like 166C.BIN,166C.ROM,338A.BIN,338A.ROM. I made 40 files, but do nothing. from where i will get ROM files for sp55717. bios ver is F52.
All four .BIN are BIOS file. I don't know which one is for your notebook. Does the first four digits means something to you? For example, part of model no.? Did you try put the BIOS file in USB thumbdrive (formatted with FAT) like this (case sensitive):- HEWLETT-PACKARD\BIOS\Current\0166C.BIN HEWLETT-PACKARD\BIOS\Current\0184D.BIN HEWLETT-PACKARD\BIOS\Current\0338A.BIN HEWLETT-PACKARD\BIOS\Current\01666.BIN You did press Win + B keys during powering the notebook, right? I don't really understand this:- Is this means, first need to initiate BIOS recovery & then forced BIOS recovery by pressing all 4 arrow keys & press the power button??
i have tried with your option but no luck its read the usb stick but do nothing.my laptop model is 1131 then i tried e.g 1131.BIN as well. platform.ini result as below: [Platform_Check]flag=2PlatformName1=1666PlatformName2=1667PlatformName3=1668PlatformName4=1669PlatformName5=166APlatformName6=166BPlatformName7=166CPlatformName8=166DPlatformName9=166EPlatformName10=166FPlatformName11=1670PlatformName12=1671PlatformName13=1672PlatformName14=338APlatformName15=338BPlatformName16=338CPlatformName17=184DPlatformName18=PlatformName19=PlatformName20=i made all the combinations but no luck.there will be some way but i am not get it right now. i dont know which file is the right one. this all work i am doing in linux. e.g extract the files my laptop is pavilion g6 1131sx, please some one can tell me what is the motherboard id or model???. i have tried the hp website but didnt find. i check the spec of the laptop on hp website but not mention. mobile Intel HM65 express chipset. how i will know the motherboard???? i have notice that under the battery is written 166F but i have tried 166F.bin but no luck
I do Flash HP Probook 4420s, when progress flash lasts all doing well. But after Computer restrart, I just know that the flash failed I've done the following procedure, but no results Need help how to recover.
oh man! I think I bricked my HP DV9730nr!!! Was doing BIOS mod/update, then the dreaded Nvidia chip event happened, screen went blank, then the laptop shut down! I re-flowed the chip, but of course now when I try to boot, black screen, caps lock led flashing. I tried the recovery methods posted at the beginning of this thread. No good. Am trying the above, but my BIOS from HP does not have the efibios.sig, Rom.bin, Rom.sig, ver.sig or ver.txt files inside it? The BIOS revision is sp48024 To make matters worse...I think I must have damaged the power ribbon cable. When I insert the battery, the laptop powers up, and will not power down. Also, with the battery out, but AC adapter in, will not power up, some led's flash like they're polling, but no power up. As soon as I pop the battery in....it powers up. Any and all suggestions or help will be most appreciated. Thanks! John
I also experienced the same problem, I've tried various ways but to no avail as well. If there are other ways please the share.
I update my Asus X73SJ bios from v202 to v203. Now laptop is dead (no image, no fan spining, just few leds on). I went to service, they desoldered my bios and write with external device but no success. Now, when i plug my ac, laptop start automatically (no power button pressed). I try different recovery methods but still dont work: just dvd spins few time, no light on usb drive. Does anyone knows what method to try to ressurect laptop? key combination and file Thanks
As far I know, ASUS supplies the driver disc with bios recovery embedded in it. Insert the dvd, start the lappy, wait for a while....
If your notebook still using the pre-loaded Windows, from power OFF state, try pressed & hold Ctrl+Home keys while turning on the notebook. Wait for 2-3 minutes.
