Thanks for that, the .sig file and using the F23 you gave me worked like a charm. Though when I used pheonixtools2.14 it didn't give me a .sig file (made it when it was "working..." but deleted it afterwards), I had to use the one that you had in the F23. Any idea on what I was doing wrong?
.bin.dec? nah, that stayed. That's how I got to the HP recovery the first time. though without the .sig it didn't go through Oh well, it works I'm happy. Thanks again.
Hi i have an HP pavilion g6-1243se and i did all the steps but the problem is when i unpacked my bios files i got 4 .bin files 01666F66.BIN , 0338AF66.BIN , 0184DF66.BIN , 0166CF66.BIN and i have a problem identifying my system board id thing so which .bin file should i pick for it?? thank you AAA
i can't thank you enough update: it's 1670 so which one ? ? ? update 2: i'm really sorry i just found my answer in the other posts look under battery it will match to one of the names in platform.ini in sectioon platform_check [Platform_Check] flag=2 PlatformName1=1666 PlatformName2=1667 PlatformName3=1668 PlatformName4=1669 PlatformName5=166A PlatformName6=166B PlatformName7=166C PlatformName8=166D PlatformName9=166E PlatformName10=166F PlatformName11=1670 PlatformName12=1671 PlatformName13=1672 PlatformName14=338A PlatformName15=338B PlatformName16=338C now theres 3 files.. which do u use ? easy.. if your sticker says 16xx then use 1666 file.. if it says other then look at list below left is match of pc right is file to use.

i Failed to boot from the usb i created the hp_tools using sp61101 then took the two bios files from the latest f.66 put them in the current tried to power up the laptop nothing happened just the blinks i pressed on win key + b and started what should i do next?? any help?? update: just read the other posts i'll try to do what you said to RXII update 2: tried different versions of the uefi and bios nothing happened still with the same issue (2 blinks) and the usb is not even active when i power it up removed the hdd + dvd + changed the place of the ram still nothing should i go for the battery now??
1670103C,0166CF33.BIN u have to decrypt it with phoenixtool.. dont forget the .sig 0166C use that for 01670.BIN and .sig from phoenixtool
i tried it it's not working, i also tried different usb flashes but nothing happen when i turn it on it seems as if the usb ports are not working so i tried an SD card also the same failure still stuck with the blinking CAPSLOCK any other ideas??
made the hp_tools with the latest sp61101 used F.33 and F.66 (0166CF33) got the .bin and .sig rename it to 01670.bin .sig did what you said in previous post ((rename the 0###.bin.dec to 0###.bin and also the RSA.SIG to 0###.sig put them in usb HEWLETT-PACKARD\BIOS\Current\.bin and .sig take HDD, battery and power cord out. plug in usb hold WIN B keys plug in power and press power while still holding the 2 keys..)) nothing happened still stuck with blinking and flash is not even working or blinking i was thinking about what you said ((bad chipset solder ( reflow BGA in youtube))) how can i know that for sure?? update: i downloaded the file did what you said and got (nothing) it's not responding to the flash at all
how did the pc become bricked ? ive seen a few hps with thin pcb board warp on heat and cool and causing he BGA to desolder a pin or 2. if u reflow with uneven heat the warpign is bad and makes the solder balls a glob mess of solder = shorted .. needs reballing likely i have a dv5 with ati chip that i could not fix so i likely will take chip off and reaball it. just for fun.. asi dont think it will last long due to thin board warp issue. also sometimes the cpu socket needs reflow
HP G62t-350 CTO Need help with my HP G62t-350 CTO laptop Black screen, orange wifi led, and caps lock blink code 2 (bios corruption) Rev # is 1426 I tried using sp52604.exe by extracting and inserting 1425F37.fd into phoenixtools but all I get is a DUMP folder, BIOS0.BIOS, and BIOS5.BIOS. So I tried renaming the .fd to 1425.bin and 1426.bin along as other extensions (.rom, .sig, etc) but it didnt work. Also attempted 01425/01426 without success. Everytime I try to flash (win + B, 1gb usb drive with HP support UEFI) the laptop will read the usb and beep accordingly but screen remains black and caps lock led starts to blink again. Thanks in advance!
Ok I made the UEFI diag on the usb and put the 1425/1426 .bin and .sig files. I tried to flash but the usb was only read once (1 beep) and after 1-2 mins the caps lock led blinks code 2 again Sometimes when I try to flash the usb is read twice (2 beeps) and the led starts blinking after the 2nd beep I have already tried it with HDD and cd drive removed but still no success
Need help with DV7-3112sa Hi, I have been trying to fix issue with corrupt Bios on a Hp Pavilion DV7-3112sa or the last week with no success. I found this forum last night and tried suggestions from previous pages. DV7-3112sa under the battery shows that it is: 3639 I have used the Phoenix Tool on the bios bin file that I downloaded from Hp website but it doesnt seem to have made a .sig ile. I have tried the 3639.bin file by itself on the hp tools usb pen in the right folders under the Bios folder but did not work. win + B ---> Beeps for a few seconds and powers off. turns itself back on and to the same 2 leds blinking & blank screen. So to me it looks like it searches the usb. it doesn't find the right file it needs and restarts. Any advise please?
Finally got it working LatinMcg you are the best what i did was: 1- reset the cmos battery 2- power up the laptop with the usb (HP_tools) ===> still the same but no more blinks 3- removed the ram (i tried to replace it or switch its place before but nothing happened) 4- installed a new ram (after resetting the cmos) 5- power up the laptop and Voila it's working 6- updated to bios to F.66 and created an hp_tools partition on the hdd (for future problems) so basically the HP beeps and blinks was just bulls**t as it turns out just resetting the cmos and removing the ram will solve the issue View attachment 22959
likely its the bad chipset soldering .. reflow is hard on this model. it has a thin board and it warps which makes pressure on chip solder which mixes up and is no good. bios hardluy ever goes corrupt overnight... usualy its the chip issue.
