Hi, i have a problem with the BIOS update. My laptop (HP 15-da0021la) stuck in a BIOS bootloop installation, it restarts again and again and never end.
I searched the BIOS from here https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-15-da0000-laptop-pc/20395828/model/23574471?sku=... and i create an USB with the BIOS, but it doesn't work, just say ''Unable to read BIOS image''.
I found the log and say this:
So based on the output It seems to be looking for a file named 84AA.bin, but when I checked the Folders within the USB stick, I don't find any file with this name. The only file I found are named 08532.bin and 08532.s12.
I don't know where to find the correct BIOS to recovery my laptop.

@Charlyyk It looks like your device may need a BIOS recovery, a possible interruption, not deliberate, however, a power failure or a slight disconnection from the internet while downloading the BIOS update, could cause such issues, nevertheless, we have a few steps that should help resolve the issue, once and for all:
Click here to perform a hard reset on your device
If the issue persists, after the above steps, try the below:
-
Turn off the notebook.
-
Plug the notebook into a power source using the power adapter.
-
With the notebook off, press and hold the Windows logo key
and the B key at the same time.NOTE:
On some notebook models, it might be necessary to press and hold the Windows logo key
and the V key. -
While pressing those keys, press and hold the Power button on the computer for 2 to 3 seconds, and then release the Power button but continue to hold the Windows logo key
and the B or V key until the HP BIOS update screen displays or you hear a beeping sound (usually 8 beeps).The HP BIOS Update screen displays, and the BIOS update begins automatically. This might take several minutes, and you might hear additional beeping sounds.
-
If the HP BIOS Update screen does not display, repeat the previous steps. If the issue persists after repeating the steps, skip to the next step to Download a replacement BIOS file.
-
If the Power light turns off, the notebook has turned off because the Power button was held too long. Repeat the previous steps, making sure to hold the Power button for 2 to 3 seconds only.
