bios update

Turbo61 · ‎03-23-2025

Hello. I can't update the bios. The version I use is F.25, the version I want to upgrade is F.56. In the HP System BIOS Update Utility program, option 1 is not active, I apply option 2 (Create recovery USB flash drive) USB is ready. I restart the computer, press F2, the diagnostic menu opens, but there is no firmware management option. There are only 4 options: 1. Memory test 2. Hard drive check 3. Lanuage 4. Exit

Can you help me with how to update the BIOS?

Connect the power adapter to the laptop.

If you have created the BIOS update USB flash drive, plug it in and restart the PC, press the Esc key and then select F9 for Boot Device options.

Select USB hard drive as the boot option and the laptop should restart and the BIOS update should begin.

I press F9 and when I click on each of the files in the bios update folder that appears, I get the error THE SELECTED BOOT DEVICE FAILED. PRESS ENTER TO CONTİUNE. I tried 3 USB ports and I get the same error in all of them. My laptop battery is between 30%-50%. Please help me. I will eventually destroy my computer.

You should read my previous post again, very carefully.

When you boot to a BIOS update flash drive, it updates the BIOS on its own.

Hello. What should the battery percentage of my computer be while updating the BIOS? 10%, 20%, 50%?

"What should the battery percentage of my computer be while updating the BIOS? 10%, 20%, 50%?"

That is not important.

You should never let the battery run down below 20% for any reason.

You must ensure that the laptop is plugged into a power adapter running on household power.

Hello. I followed your instructions. I created a BIOS update USB. When the computer starts, I press F9, select the HP_TOOLS folder, and click on the update file. However, it gives an error. I uploaded the photos.

I created a recovery USB from the F.56 BIOS file at your laptop's support portal. Starting at the HP_Tools folder, I drilled down so you can see where the BIOS .bin file and its signature folder are. You can put those two files in their own USB flash drive and try updating from them.

I can't see my laptop support portal and bios folder. Where should I click? Can you see me?

So where did you get the BIOS update file F.56, that you said that you used from?

This where I sourced the one I got for your laptop model series.
