    Recovered 850 G1 Bios now the warning machine not in committed state

    Hi all just wondering if anyone can help?

    i have just recovered my bios after i screwed it up after trying to take a dump of my bios with a clip and a programmer to get around the bios password on one of my old work laptops (HP Elitebook 850 G1).

    since the recovery i have been left with the PC now booting up but now i get the warning the machine is not in a commited state and the laptop swithes itself of after about 30 minutes, which i believe is to do with a missing intel management engine.

    if anyone can shed any light on wither of these problems, which i am guessing they are both related to a possible bad BIOS.

    TIA

          I don't prefer to use clip unless you don't have proper tools (soldering iron/hot air) or your soldering skills isn't good.
          If you are not sure that you can clean the ME Region by yourself, upload the file here and someone will try to help you.

            Re: Recovered Bios now the warning machine not in committed state

            sorry for being a thicko, but do i need a dump from my Bios or can all these tools be ran on the laptop with the issue and get the data required. But im guessing i need to use the clip or get the soldering tools out if i need to fix my issues.

            when i last used the clip i dont recall getting the right results from the bios chip, just ordered a solder rework tookfor work so may have to give that a try.

            Thanks again for the replies

              You will need to take a backup from your BIOS and clean it yes.
              If you have the Original BIOS that will be much helpful.

                Re: Recovered 850 G1 Bios now the warning machine not in committed state

                Unfortunately i think i lost my original backup when i updated my laptop to windows 11. to be fair i don't think the backup i took was good as probably why i knackered the bios up in the first place.

                so i am just waiting for the rework station to arrive, but when it does I'm assuming i need to de-solder the chip and plug into my programmer to get a dump of the back up as it is, then post on here to hope someone can clean it up for me. once i have a clean bios version i would just reprogram the chip with this and then re-solder back onto the board.

                Thanks again

                  Re: Recovered 850 G1 Bios now the warning machine not in committed state

                  Good evening all

                  Got the rework station and going to desolder the chip from the HP Elitebook 850 G1.

                  A couple of things:

                  1. In the attached image is that the correct chip i need to remove.

                  2 is the CH341A programmer OK to read this chip.

                  then after i have read the chip do i just post here and hpoefully one of you guys can clean it up.

                  TIA

                    Take a clear image for both chips, we need to see what's written on them.

                      cant seem to get a close enough image with the camera but using a magnifying glass both chips appear to be the same

                      Does this correct

                        No, U366 is 2MB (16Mbit).
                        Upload the content of CN365 chip, the one you marked it by a circle (25Q128FVSG).

                            This file doesn't contain ME Region, so it can't be repaired.
                            I will attach a working BIOS which I have tried before, it's for 840 g1 but I can change the DMI for yours if the device works fine.

                            I found this Serial Number in your dump file "CNU4289M7D" it's correct or not?

                                Also before i write the bios file to the chip, do i erase the chip first or can i just write over the old bios data.

                                TIA

                                  Yes, you should erase the chip before the writing process.
                                  If you are using NeoProgrammer software, you can check these 5 options and press on the "Write IC" icon and it will do everything automatically.

                                      Yes, it's the best software for CH341A (as far as I know).

                                        I have a "committed state" problem with my HP Elitebook 850 G1. Can anyone help me solve it?​

                                          ASUS TP500LA BIOS request/repair/merge?
                                          by jbonavita
                                          Hi, my laptop wont boot at all
                                          With original bios no POST, only LED lights
                                          With alternative BIOS from model TP500LN (flashed via programmer) the notebook works again
                                          Some issues
                                          A- with bios from 500LN, it won't update from bios of model 500LA (from 500LN v203 to 500LA v300)
                                          B- If updated from 500LN version 203 to 300, the battery stops being recognized

                                          Things I tried

                                          1- Update / clear ME: Took the non working bios, made a backup, and did this: https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...theory/trouble...

                                          [REQUEST] Dell G3 3579 BIOS Password & AMI Protected Range/BIOS Guard Unlock
                                          by zenius
                                          Hello, I have an old Dell G3 3579 (ST: 2WQ7LP2-8FC8) with a newer 8FC8 BIOS password. I have successfully attached to the flash chip (W25Q128JVSQ) on the motherboard with a CH341A programmer and made several modifications using Intel FIT (e.g., allow software SPI write) without bricking. I was also able to boot to a modified GRUB shell where I attempted to edit many BIOS security related options like BIOS Guard/Lock, Flash Signature Override, ME FW Image Re-Flash, etc.

                                          Unfortunately, some of these modifications like to Intel BIOS Guard failed because it is fused into the PCH. Also,...

                                          Hello,

                                          I have a Lenovo Thinkbook 15 G2 ITL i5 Laptop (serial number: MP2BFZEF) that when I turn it on, the led on the power button lights up for 5 seconds, then goes out. There's no display and nothing happens.
                                          So I thought it was a Bios problem.
                                          I found 3 bios chips on the board, which I read with a bios programmer: two XMC model bios chips and a Winbond model bios chip. Each XMC model bios chip has two partitions named XM25QH128A [3.3V] and XT25F128A [3.3V]. And the Winbond model bios chip has three partitions named W25Q80BL 3.3V, W25Q80xV 3.3V and W25Q80DV 3.3V....

                                          Hi, I need some help with HP EliteBook 830 G10
                                          S/N: 5CG3444X0X

                                          Can't find motherboard ID, SPS is N44544-601

                                          I am trying to unlock it, did all modifications in main bios to put it in MPM mode, after writing new bios at 1st boot it appears a message:
                                          "Bios Identity Data Recovered
                                          The Bios has recovered its identity data from Embedded Controller due to data mismatch"
                                          and it won't start in MPM Mode. Someone please help me to disable this "Bios Identity Data Recovery", I don't have a clue where it is.
