I have about 140 T620s that I need to update via ConfigMgr.

 

I am able to get the BIN file from the downloaded SoftPaq, but when I try to use HPBIOSUPDREC.exe to update the BIOS I get the following error in the HPBIOSUPDREC.log:

 

2015/08/13 20:59:46.810|00000394|Error      |HPBiosUpdate::WmiFlash::QueryFlashROM|WMI method to Query Flash Rom failed, hr = 0x00000000, return Code = 0x3

 

I'm downloading the BIOS from here: http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?sp4ts.oid=5404709&swItemId=vc_149637_1&swEnvOid=408...

 

I can update manually using the 0209_RC.exe file that gets extracted from the SoftPaq, but I'd rather not have to do this manually on 140 Thin Client and any new ones going forward.

 

Anyone seen this or know how to fix? Perhaps an alternate utility to update the BIOS of these thin clients?

I have the same problem. My update command script...

 

"C:\Program Files\_Packages_REPOSITORY\BIOS\_UTILs\HPBIOSUPDREC.exe" -s -r -p"C:\Program  Files\_Packages_REPOSITORY\BIOS\_UTILs\BIOSPW.bin" -f"C:\Program Files\_Packages_REPOSITORY\BIOS\t620\L40 v02.09\L40_0209.bin"

 

...and full log view...

Every good tip. Thanks David.

I'm getting the same error:

 

HPBIOSUPDREC Return Code = 3010

 

on my HP EliteBook Revolve G2 when upgrading BIOS from 1.02 to 1.36.

 

Can somebody from the HP support help on this?
