Bios F.1B
Bios file sp55068
Board model 1657
Bios link http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp55001-55500/sp55068.exe

Thanks.

Lucky for you, I've modded the [censored] out of those bios. You can find a version in my modded bios repository that has the Advanced and Power tabs unlocked, the wifi and bluetooth whitelists removed, and hackintosh native powermanagement enabled. Juts run InsydeFlash.exe to flash the modded rom. Hope you enjoy

Also, even through it isn't required, I always appreciate donations

Try flashing the orignal, unmodded version and let me know if it gives you the same error.

Try renaming the HP_TOOLS partition to and try again. It looks like it's interfering with the flashing for some reason, so temporarily rename it to something like HP_TOOLSS so that the flasher wont be able to find it

[miox25]

Ahm if I rename the hp tools partition and I brick my laptop during the flashing process is there another way to unbrick it? Hehehe sori im a little bit afraid of bricking my laptop, thank you

[donovan6000]

Yes, you can recover without the HP_TOOLS partition. This can be done by re-creating the HP_TOOLS partition on a flash drive. I go over this procedure in my tutorial here.

Thank you mr donovan, youve been very helpfull, i will go through the recovery process first and make sure of it before i try flashing moded bios on my laptop, thanks again.
