Where can I get the pheonix tool?  When I downloaded BIOS files for my HP Envy, and after extracting, it has insyde.exe and two .fd files. Just renaming .fd into .bin and .sig didn't do the trick ! So how can I get the required files from .fd file?

FIX: Warnings when replacing module in treeview that has wrong size information in headers
FIX: Inserting new modules into a specific FV didn't work for 'New Module' method
FIX: Empty modules in a GUID module where not identified

Hey thanks for the link. I have installed Phoenix Tool and it works. On the other hand I've BIOS files of the format .fd
I need them to be extracted as .bin and .sig files. But when I open .fd file in phoenix at the place of Original Bios, it shows an error message : "Not Phoenix/Dell/Insyde/EFI BIOS". By the way, I'm using Windows XP on my old desktop.

Help me on how to work with the Phoenix Tool.

Did you unpack .exe file?

Did I unpack the BIOS setup file(.exe) ?
I extracted .exe file and got two .fd bios files.

Then I uploaded one of the .fd files to Phoenix Model tool (in the place of Original Bios), but I just get the error message.
Alse my lap is a 2013 model. And its BIOS is F.24 !
Either my files won't work with Phoenix or I'm using the Phoenix in the wrong way.

Hi JesseUP:

Hello.

Can someone please tell me where to download HP UEFI BIOS Update SoftPAQ or the new HP UEFI Support Environment SoftPAQ for a Compaq Presario CQ61-411WM?

I have a BIOS corruption error and the notebook does not complete the POST test so I can't get to Windows. Only option is to create a Flash Disk with the correct BIOS on it.

I am having the same problem with a HP630 notbook right after an GP update. Just like HP printers. When they go out of warrenty they dowload an update and then they stop working. HP has resorted to f*%&^$# scandoulous practices and I will never buy a f&)^%$# HP ever again.
