Hello, I am trying to get this laptop HP Pavilion x360 - 11m-ap0013dx out of a BIOS update loop. So far, I've tried every BIOS update available on HP's website up to F.05 since I can't get F.02 or F.01 to run on my machine. I can't seem to get the laptop passed the BIOS signature verification.
Here's a piece of the log file:

The date on the left side is wrong but everything else is being logged correctly since it's showing on the flash drive I'm trying to flash it with. When I check the path it is referring to, I see the 085C1.bin and 085C1.s12 files but not 085C1.sig file.
Is there a way to generate the 085C1.sig file or find it somewhere else? So far, all my Googling hasn't returned much results. Any help is appreciated!
