Here is my exact edited platform.ini file below
I noticed on some other INSYDEH2O BIOS files from Acer that there was no platform.ini set of instructions which might make it easier or impossible. I saw a few other sections and I disabled them just to be safe. This means it was set to compare the versions and cancel out on you, ending the process without flashing. Where it says Flag=0 it originally said Flag=1. a warning message and close application. When rom file version is older then BIOS, it will display This flag is the switch of checking BIOS version. Basically, any section that says anything about comparing BIOS versions or platforms must be disabled.Įxample - section about 1/3 the way down says the following -ĬheckByBiosErrorMessage="This BIOS file is not allow to flash. You will only get an error message or two.There is another file called ~platform.ini - you can ignore this or delete it.)įrom what I read at various websites, there are several sections that need to be changed. ini file was already edited so I cannot say. (***NOTE - it might work without editing this file, but at this point my. STEP #4 - Inside the WIN8 folder is a file called platform.ini. These files must be deleted otherwise the result will end in an error. If you are working with Windows 7, delete all but the WIN7 folder.

I was working with Windows 8 64bit(yeah I know!!!!!) so I deleted the other folder and two files leaving me with just a WIN8 folder. STEP #3 - Inside the UBIOS folder were two folders - WIN7 & WIN8 - and two files - UBIOS.bat & WPID64.exe. For the sake of simplicity, I copied it to my desktop. Inside that folder you will find another folder called UBIOS. STEP #2 - Inside that folder is another self-extracting file called os2012381b_610.exe. Upon execution it extracted to C:\skbqv610 and place a shortcut on the desktop.
STEP #1 - Basically, I downloaded the correct BIOS EXE file then ran it. You will be flashing under Windows, so be sure to have plenty of battery power, be plugged into the wall too and disabled all firewalls and anti-virus and security programs to prevent them from glitching the process. Below is the short version for you to follow along.

Also, I figured this out through HOURS of trial and error. I can only guide you with what I experienced first hand. ***NOTE - your experience and results maybe very similar to mine or very different. Even their bootable CD would not allow flashing to older versions. No option to manually override and flash it. If you downloaded it and tried to flash it, it would fail and give you an error message about it being older than the current BIOS and would terminate the process. I mean, how hard could it be for Toshiba techs to post a link to a simple bootable BIOS flashing tool to let you flash older firmware?!!!!Īnyway, the utility downloaded and installed BIOS v6.30. All I could see were forum users helping other users and a lot of angry customers.
#INSYDE BIOS UPDATE FOR HP DOWNLOAD#
A - the Toshiba Support download section of their website is a freaking mess! B - Toshiba support and forum moderators were basically ignoring this issue. From my research, it is clear to see two more problems.
#INSYDE BIOS UPDATE FOR HP INSTALL#
What actually happened is that the software was wrong and would download and install the wrong BIOS, which would then, of course, make your machine act screwy! In this case, it downloaded BIOS made for mostly for the C855 series and a very select C875 model, but NOT for the C875D that he had!Īccording to the forums, this utility was defective and many others suffered the same problem. A Toshiba laptop utility was recommending that the latest BIOS be downloaded and installed. My cousin accidentally upgraded his BIOS with the wrong BIOS for his laptop. It might be as simple using Flas**t under DOS but I was afraid it would brick. I Googled, searched, read and posted requests for help and received none (yeah, even here).
There is/are probably other easier ways to do this. It worked on every current Toshiba laptop that we tried. My friend works there and we did this after hours.
After discovering this method through hours of trial and error, I tried this process on some Toshiba Satellite display models at a major retail store. Specifically this deals with a Toshiba Satellite C875D-S7105 laptop and INSYDEH2O BIOS but this method should work for similar circumstances and machines using the same BIOS but I make no promises. This is a simple step by step guide of a method to revert to an older version of InsydeH2O BIOS.
