"Detect some error during PININST_BBV."

[User188]

Who cares about grammar.  You solved the problem!

That's good news for the day user188,  needed that! Bet your daughter's a happy camper too!

From what I understand, the most recent 2nd edition recovery flash drive from  HP for our envys resolves this issue . My guess is if you have to run a recovery either from the hard drive or create your own recovery disks again,  that the same problem will occur again like gracetosee  mentioned earlier in the thread.  But we do have a solution now here too which is cool 😉

Thanks for that good news!

It didnt worked for me reseting the bios. What are other solution to this pininst.bbv..??

[HeisRisen]

The number may not be accurate but reading through in this whole thread there are atleast 5-6 slightly different ways people here found a successful recovery priyank... If you can muster some patience and have the time try writing some of these down and run the recovery, if one doesn't work try the next one. I think also that all our laptops are not identical so one way may work for one machine but not another.

some didn't mention changing the date but only turned on legacy boot and turned off secure boot save n exit and it worked.  While others like for me we switched the date back to 2012 and so on... hope you find the way that works for yours, if so please let us know so it can help others 😉

Edit: One other thought on the date change thing is that my factory OS is windows 8 and first startup was Dec. 2013, your laptop may be a little older trying to recover Windows 7 ? You might try and earlier date like 2011 or '10 or which ever year your first startup was

Hey hp provide u hp recovery kit 2times????
And this process not working
What i do know

[Abhin143]

This process does not work. .
What i do now?

[HeisRisen]

yes Hp sent me 2 recvovery sets. originally when i was having this recovery issue i purchased a recovery drive, it didn't resolve the issue so customer support sent another which also didn't work. then about 5-6 months later Hp sent 2 newer revised recovery sets which are supposed to resolve the pininst_bbv error... i haven't yet had need to try the new one out yet, my laptop has been working perfectly since  a solution was found back in january.

meanwhile, i searched these forums and found a solution in this thread to get a complete recovery by changing the date back to 2012 (others have attested the date 8/04/2012 worked for them). 

which model do you have and what exactly have you tried? are you using recovery disks, usb thumb drive or recovery manager on the hard drive...? how long does it take before the error comes?

starting your own thread may help get you more attention and a good description of the problem and what you've tried

try this with the usb drive inserted if thats what you are using,

boot to bios and choose setup defaults then save and exit. on restart enter the bios again and change the system date (try the 8/04/2012) then save changes  and exit and let it boot into your recovery and run it. pull out the usb drive when the screen tells you to.    if i remember correctly the error on mine would appear at 50-55 minutes but after doing this date change there was no error and it completed  successfully after 2 1/2- 3 hours

I had a PROBLEM with a ssd and a clean install so i used  a standerd harddrive and installed the recovery disk and then cloned the hhd to the ssd it worked fast

[michaelsenvy]

tofixyour problem install windows to a standerd hard dive then buy a usb harddrive clone kit and clone the dive it works great and keep the harddrive with windows and use it to reinstall latter in needed its faster then reinstalling fron recovery dsk
