I've already tried to update with this version:

HPQ Flash Wizard
---------------------------
This is an older version of BIOS which is not compatible with your system configuration.
---------------------------


Original HPQ wizard fails on signature verification check.

Tried with v.5.0F. It throws an error with something like
Error in file content read from disk
when I'm trying to open patched FW.

Hi BDMaster,

Do you have any progress on this?

That's what I found in HPQ logs:

11/23/2014 01:06:34.047 FlashRomImage(): Write Block #9, Attempt #1 FAILED, error code = 0x15
11/23/2014 01:06:34.047 Cannot flash block #9 because it is blocked by BIOS. dwErrCode = 0x15

11/23/2014 01:06:34.078 Flash Rom: Cannot downgrade, BIOS blocks it - Error code = 0x15

Guys... anyone, please?

Hi friend,
as I said the issue is on HPQflash.exe the Bios Version is too new
so is not supported by old Patched version and to Patch this new
occours much time !
I will try to do this but It's difficult !

Thank you for reply. Hope, you'll make it!

Any progress with that BIOS, guys? I have this laptop here but I need to replace the WiFi card because Broadcom support for linux is abysmal.
Link provided by BDMaster is dead, by the way.

Hi friend,
I haven't got time to It so You can use F.0E version :

http://www.mediafire.com/download/qd1hdb...telist.zip

Use eRomPaq Patched version to flash It :

DOS FLASHING :

You need :
1. DOS Flash Toolkit (All necessary to make an bootable USB stick) : http://www.sendspace.com/file/rip4sc
   This toolkit contains a Dos flash utility rompaq.exe V4.78c allowing backup and Update of modified BIOS.
   Flashing an older BIOS version is now possible with this release. (no more "Error in file content read from disk")
2. Patched EROMPAQ V5.0F (for HP EliteBook: patched version of EROMPAQ V5.0F) :  http://www.sendspace.com/file/662muo
