What i still don't understand is how can the recovery pendrive work with the files named 01488.* if your board id is 1441 and the bios file is really 0143F. So the 01488 has nothing to do here unless you had crossflashed with sp50942 but i think it is not possible.

Anyway, i tried to unhide another option, the way to select how AHCI works, Legaci or uEFI mode. Try that option.

redownload the last file it has the new mod inside.

Tbh when I made my stick I added the 01488 like you said and a 0143F version.. Do you think it worked from the 0143F version instead maybe!? :\ I guess this is probably the case.. Thanks for the updaded version btw! I will give it a go now! I hope after all this it is the EHCI mode being enabled that fixes my BSOD.. :\


UPDATE - I now have every option under the sun available.. And it boots in to windows fine. But when come to save any changes made it freezes. Ie "Do you wants to exit saving changes?" Press yes and the dialog box does not go and just freezes. Hope that description helps!

If it has the option try saving without exit. Then exit without saving

[coatezy]

No luck just save & exit, discard & exit and restore defaults.. So many interesting options to play with... But no way to apply! Lol!

Left the modded bios on the machine as I was being lazy and after using it for about 2-3 hours the machine suddenly turned off unexpectedly and then went back to black screen when turning on.. Re flashed with memory stick..

Hi!

Could you help me out plesase, i'm stuck, i followed your recommendations but i couldn't make it work.
Initial problem: i have DV6-3299en Rossignol edition. http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softw...81794#N740

Tried to use an unlocked SP55299 Bios in order to be able to shut down the switchable graphics and set it to the ATi card.
The driver update was succesfull, worked fine, but after i changed the graphic card mode in the BIOS the screen stopped working. I was able to boot into windows i have to mention.
I even noticed, that when the power was plugged in and i pressed the shut down button, for a very short time(~0.1s) the screen turned on,
i even used it to track where i managed to navigate blindly in the BIOS and got lost. Then shut down and started it over.
Unfortunately this "feature" stopped working. After i started to experiment with the solutiions described on this site the latop is not able to boot into windows any longer(can't hear the boot sound, WIFI LED is always on).

I did try to follow all the instruction all day Long.

- Tried the intructions on the "Insyde BIOS Recovery" page, (the link on the top of the page)

- Then tried camiloml's description to format a kingmax 2GB flash, with HP_TOOLS label copy the content of the supplied Recovery_sp50942 archive onto it.
- Tried also to write the flash with the UEFI utility first, and only after that i coppied the content of the Recovery_sp50942.
I noticed that the Recovery_sp50942. uses the same .bin driver as the one hp offers for my DV6: 01448.
Since i had an another flash drive(16GB) which i used to update the UEFI utility before i bricked my laptop i tried to copy the bin file from that onto the the one i have been trying to use(2GB) for unbricking.

Tried to boot with win+B, Ctrl+ESC, o without pressing keys. With the battery removed.
I get no beeping sound, the mute and WIFI leds ar lightened up.
The flash activity LED starts to blink after a few seconds. Let it to do it's job several times for even more than a couple of minutes.
The flash activity LED stops blinking and nothing happens.

Questions:

Do i have to use Andy's phoenix tool? as i understood it is only used to define only the name of the driver(like 1448).
Do i have to use signed dirvers(from HP), or decripted ones(How to?, maybe a help how to use ANDY's tool?).
Do i have to do something with the RSA.SIG file?


Please explain, help me! Your help and efforts will be appreciated and not forgotten!Just bought my notebook yesterday and is bricked already .

Latest driver version F.29 SP55299.exe
