    Thanks for the reply LatinMcG.

    I see that link has the .DEC and .SIG files, do I just copy them to a USB with the file/folder structure in the second link, then flash? Or do I need to do anything else?

    Will try when I get home from work and let you know if it worked.

    I managed to get the correct file names etc, used your decrypted file and got my own 2 files using the phoenix tool. However, it's still not working. More info on what I did is in the screenshot below:

    tinypic.com/r/sd2ntc/6

    However, neither work. I have done the following:

    Take out battery
    Hold Windows + B
    Plug in USB
    Plug in AC adapter, still holding Windows + B
    Power on the laptop while holding windows + b (all the time)
    Wait 15 seconds, then the same bios recovery failed error occurs.

    Any more advice?

    Yeh my secondary backup partition is still named "HP_TOOLS" on my HDD, is that why it isn't loading from the USB?

    I don't have a USB on me at work at the moment, but bought a SATA -> USB cable and connector so I'll go into the HP_TOOLS partition and replace the .bin and .sig and let you know if it worked

    Just had to rename the old bios files in the HP_TOOLS partition that came on my laptop, added in the new files you supplied and followed the instructions.
