Bios Corrupted and became READ ONLY

[Edge_Even]

hello community and support assitants , please read the whole thing , i spent days and days with no hope , and i m getting frustrated . i wish i get some help here

NOTE : i can still access the BIOS , i attached pictures of the log file text from my attempt to recover the bios at the end of this post

- Symptoms of the current situation :
     - bootable Usb will not boot like before
     - Bios settings are not being saved and getting back to the previous state when ever i exit + save change (F10 , or even in the exit tab)
     - Bios became readonly : 
                - i tried to update the bios using the live BIOS update utility provided from hp (using my product name etc) and it fails around 51-52% with a message "Bios update failed"
                - i tried to recover the bios using a usb flash drive made by the same utility , and using the Win+B buttons combination technique , then it will write , and verify , and will repeat these last 2 actions for several times before failing as well , one thing i noticed here , that in the verifying process , it stuck at 52% as well , and at some other points

- Details :

 so the reason all this happened , was that Besides the installed os Widows 8.1 , i wanted to install ubuntu 18.04 as dual boot for a college project . the thing is the installation process stopped at around 70% showing an error , after that i deleted ubuntu , so now i have only windows 8.1 installed , i searched on this subject and found out ubuntu 17.10 had the same bug , ANY SUGGESTIONS ? that would be a SUPER RELIEF if i find the solution here

hi Ieee488, thank you for your suggestion , i came across that link , i have a question regarding that solution . 
as of now,  i have only windows 8.1 (working perfectly fine) , does that mean i have to install ubuntu 17.10 using a bootable usb ( it is possible if i use the built in EFI file launcher of the bios , and launch the efi file from within the usb) , and after installation i should try what they suggest? is it worth the time and efforts? or i will end up in a dead end? , thanks in advance

I don't know if you will end up at dead end.

As it is now you have a corrupted EFI. Your call.
