BIOS Unable to Update

Hi there!

In reference to this successful HP Probook 4400s Sierra/High Sierra build.

(I am in desperate need for help here, please!) :crazy:

I am having trouble updating my BIOS from f.60 to any other BIOS. In this instance, I need to update to f.61 but have tried updating (from Flash Drive) to multiple different versions with the same outcome.

I load the update onto a flash and go through the process of launching via EFI. I launch the 'Updater.EFI', the program opens and reads "initializing" but after a split second it says update failed and reboots.

What am I doing wrong please?
Thank you for any help!

Sorry late reply!
Did you fix it ?

I have several problems with my 4530s as well. I had to boot into a windows 10 system to use the update there. All of my bios data somehow got erased by the f.60 update listed under my serial number.

You can also try creating a 4 in 1 usb key. Once you create the key be sure to unzip the 'legacy_devices.zip" in the root directory to a new folder, it contains all of the 'legacy' probooks (your model, mine, and many othjers). The bios folder provided with the tools does not contain the needed updates. Look for the xxx.bin file that matches the bios file names in your bios update.

You can boot off the USB key, its very slow this way. I recommend just putting the usb key into a usb port, entering the bios and pressing 'hp diagnostics' from the main bios screen. It is much more responsive when loaded within the bios vs booting to it.

Good Luck!
