Operating System: Ubuntu LTS

I found out, that there is no way to update BIOS on Victus by HP Gaming laptop 16-s0xxx, where I am running Ubuntu.

I tried:

  1. putting files of Bios update (prepared by the update utility on windows) to boot partition and then starting all different .efi files - ALL end up with short message "System reset" an then reboot
  2. Update flash drive (prepared by the update utility on windows) - is not booting it self, so throught EFI I was starting different .efi files - shows message blue message that is it is not bootable....
  3. There is no option in system diagnostics to update bios
  4. There is no option for USB legacy support
  5. I have secure boot disabled and boot from usb enabled

Last thing I did not tried yet is to put some windows drive back to laptop.

 

Any ideas?

@PetrS141,

See the post below to update bios under Linux. These folks created a bios update usb flash drive and ran it using the bios recovery procedure (press Win+B keys) to update bios successfully.

Thank you for the hint.

 

Unfortunatelly I was not patient to wait and I put into laptop old disk with Windows 11. On first boot it automatically installed new bios prepared by me on boot partition.

 

As a bonus my laptop started to work with 2 external monitors connected to USB-C hub on Ubuntu. I think there was an error in sending video signal from Nvidia to USB-C, which was solved by new BIOS.
