BIOS update

[Vadim44]

Dear Support Team,

I have pretty old HP desktop HP Envy Phoenix 800-06 with board 2AF3 and original BIOS version 80.05.  I would like to update BIOS to the last supported for this platform and I found on this site that it was 80.25 Rev A.  However the lucky user who updated his BIOS did it in 2020 and that link doesn't exist anymore on the HP site or anywhere else. Can you help me to get this unique file to replace my old BIOS.

Thank you very much for your help if possible.

Hi:

Sorry to say it but after update to BIOS 80.25 Rev A system booted only once (first time) then died completely. Now it doesn't boot even in Recovery system or WinRE. Can I revert to old BIOS version 80.05 or whatever is known as working with my board 2AF3?

According to the BIOS info link I posted you cannot go back to an older version. 

Unfortunately I wouldn't know why that happened, or what to do about it.
