This article explain how to create a booteable USB stick to flash an EFI flasheable file under DOS enviroment.

Is my EFI InsydeH2O?

The easiest way to figure that is looking on the 'BIOS POST Screen' for this image:

Step 0 - Preparing the work enviroment

You must create a folder on your desktop to use it as workspace. I will use one named 'Toolbox'.
Your current Windows user account must have administrator rights.
You must have the Windows based executable file that contains the EFI flasheable file. If you don't have one, enter to Support Website page and get one for your computer. I will use one named 'EFIUPDATEPACKAGE.EXE'.
Step 0 done.

Step 1 - Preparing working tools

Download and install 7-Zip.
Download 'HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool' here. Save this file inside 'Toolbox' folder.
Download 'DOS Files' here. Save this file inside 'Toolbox' folder.
Download 'Flash It Tool' here. Save this file inside 'Toolbox' folder.
Extract files downloaded in 2, 3 and 4. A folder will be created for each extracted ZIP file.
Step 1 done.

Step 2 - Creating a booteable USB stick

Connect your USB stick. Make a backup of it contents if necessary.
Open 'HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool' folder and execute 'HPUSBFW.EXE' with administrator rights.
Follow these easy steps as shown below:
Search and select 'DOS Files' folder:
Click on 'Accept' button and then click on 'Start' button to initiate the process.
A warning window appears. Click on 'Yes' button and wait until the entire process is completed.
Click on 'Accept' button to close the summary window and then click on 'Close' button to close the application.
Step 2 done.

Step 3 - Copying the flashing tool

Open 'Flash It Tool' folder.
Select all files and copy them to the root directory of your USB stick.
Step 3 done.

Step 4 - Extracting the Windows based EFI update package

Copy 'EFIUPDATEPACKAGE.EXE' file to your 'Toolbox' folder.
Secondary click (left click) on 'EFIUPDATEPACKAGE.EXE'.
Select '7-Zip', then select 'Extract to 'EFIUPDATEPACKAGE'.
A new folder named 'EFIUPDATEPACKAGE' will be created with files inside.
Open 'EFIUPDATEPACKAGE' folder and open 'platform.ini' file. It's important to keep this file open.
Step 4 done.

Step 5 - Finding the flasheable EFI file

In 'platform.ini' file, search for the section called '[FDFile]'.
Look for the 'FileName' attribute. This attribute sets the flasheable EFI file name.
Look inside your 'EFIUPDATEPACKAGE' folder for that file, and rename it to 'FLASHME.ROM'.
Copy 'FLASHME.ROM' file to the root directory of your USB stick.
Step 5 done.

Step 6 - Setting the computer platform

Look inside your USB stick and open the 'IDS.id' file with a plain text editor (notepad is enough).
In 'platform.ini' file, search for the section called '[Platform_Check]'.
Copy each 'PlatformName' attribute (only if it have a non-empty value) to 'IDS.id' file.
Saves changes to IDS.id file.
Step 6 done.

Step 7 - Finishing

Close all files and folders opened.
Remove securely your USB stick.
Step 7 done.

I have had my pavilion dv6-2030sa bios currupt for no apparent reason, I am trying to make a recovery USB, when i download and execute the bios update utility, it extracts to c:swsetupexename and runs 'WinFlash.exe' after extracting the files from that, it runs the InsydeFlash.exe (or InsydeFlashx64.exe) and states 'cannot load the driver. Please close all applications' I am trying on windows 10 (not the machine with the issues because it does not boot into the os or even the bios setup) I use the machine to run linux and have been for years now, i do not have the HPtools partition, when i do the BIOS recovery with win+b/v, i get nothing, no beeps, flashing lights or message on the display (internal or external).

No information is available for this page.Learn why. I wouldn't worry about it, assuming the BIOS update came from Toshiba. You didn't say where you downloaded it from. I have a Toshiba laptop.

You can perform a clean system factory setting and then update the system bios and check
