    Would there be a Reset-Utility for Probook 6560b also ?

    I use the make-all command and now I get following messages:

    "Manufactoring Program Mode Set : 0 of 10"
    and the screen:
    "Product Information not valid ..."

    If I press enter it boots, but BIOS Updates couldnĀ“t used ...

    Option 3 to reprogram should do it.

    8470p is not supported at this time.


    These tools are for HP Elitebook/Probooks. Envy line is not supported here

    Try again. I took an HP Probook 4310s and Downloaded sp49221.exe from HP. I again extracted ROM.CAB. I open ROM.CAB and extracted ver.txt, rom.bin and efibios.sig. I renamed rom and efibios files to the string in ver.txt "68PHT" and placed in "Hewlett-Packard\BIOS\Current\" on my USB Drive. Battery Out, Power off...boot with Win+B

    See my post on page one, about making a DOS bootable HDD with the tools needed. **70 are not officially supported, but try the shotgun mode and see if you can get a match.

    I should consider this..maybe today?

    Ariol, I regret to inform you, I have no solution at this time for the 6470. Any **70 actually. I don't physically have one, and to date, no test has been successful.

    4520 (any **20 series model actually) is not listed in the supported models.
    Shotgun is more for testing/luck (or being lazy to skip the menus)
    Protect tools is ok, if you haven't set up anything yet, but I challenge you to set a system bios password and then use your protect tools to 'reset' it. Protect tools has been covered quite a bit on MDL already, and over at Spiceworks, and over at HPs own support forums. Not much luck coming out of there either. My system is the best chance so for for users with supported models to recover their hardware.
