I have a corrupted BIOS on a Zbook 15 G3. I downloaded the BIOS file sp151837.exe and attempted to create a recovery USB. The USB does not have any files in the Hewlett-Packard\BiosUpdate folder, and there is no .S12 file in the Hewlett-Packard\BIOS\Current folder only N81_0162.bin file which is 9MB (so it's not the complete BIN file which should be 16MB). I have created other recovery USBs such as from sp79552.exe and these have the .efi and other files in the Hewlett-Packard\BiosUpdate folder which are required to actually run the BIOS update program.  Can you please reupload the correct sp151837.exe so that a proper recovery USB can be created, or can you include the full 16MB .bin file so that a different flash tool can be used to program the BIOS chip?
