Issues updating HP Elite Compaq 8300 BIOS #92

Closed GregoryMachin closed 4 years ago

GregoryMachin commented 4 years ago

Hi,

I'm struggelling to get the BIOS to update on the HP Elite Compaq 8300, HP Elite 800 G1. In both cases the BIOS update utility fails with "Error Code 0x00000113 INCORRECT_PASSWORD". The BiosSledgehammer script confirms that the password file works, as does manual login, so I'm a bit lost, I haven't found anything useful on google. So I'm hoping I'm not the only one that has experienced this issue and someone can suggest an answer.

Here is the BiosSledgehammer log:

Thank you. G

This is indeed very strange, given that the BIOS value change with the exact same password worked.

I think the message does not mean "Password incorrect" but instead "Incorrect update path". For the Elite 8300, we seem to have the same topic as with the Pro 8300: it requires a Two Step BIOS Update to move to 3.x.

Please first try flashing v2.99 (you can see this release by clicking "Previous releases" for BIOS v03.08), then update to 3.08.

Great thanks. I'll give it a go.

Awesome script thanks for all your work.

@GregoryMachin As there was no update on this issue, I'm assuming this is solved with the extra BIOS update for the transition BIOS. I'm closing this issue.
