md35273 BIOS update B660H7-M20 motherboard

[andr3y]

Hi guys. I've got a md35273 (MSN 10024677) with MB B660H7-M20 and B660H7W0X.107 BIOS. Tried to update it to 2.12. Downloaded the BIOS from the link on this page https://community.medion.com/t5/FAQs/How-do-I-optimize-the-stability-of-my-desktop-PC-with-an-Intel/... and followed the installation instructions. After running the CMD as Admin and entering the command "UpdateBIOS.bat" all I have is this

And the update doesn't start.

Any ideas how to solve the problem? BTW checked the VMD controller option in BIOS before flashing - it's ON. If I turn it off, the system doesn't boot (BSOD)

Thanks in advance

@andr3y

Did you expand the  " 00_Bios_b660h7-m20_v2.zip "  in an own new folder?  Are all files expanded to the folder Bios 112? Otherwise it can't work. But I do think you have to ask @Major_ToM .

Actually the line under the first entry ->  fail: 

-> C:\Users\andr3\Downloads\ Bios112> AFUWINx64.EXE B660H7W0X.cap /p /b /n /q /capsule 

should have done the job.

Cheers, daddle

@daddle yes, the whole archive was extracted to a folder 

[andr3y]

@Major_ToM could you please help with the solution? Thanks in advance

Hi @andr3y ,

due to an IT outage we unfortunately do not have the opportunity to special replicate this case, but I´ll doublecheck, when the data is available again...

Do you have any anti virus application running on the machine, which might prevent the update from beeing executed correctly?  

Cheers

@Major_ToM Only the standard Microsoft Defender

Hi @andr3y ,

this is myterious, but as I said, I´ll have to investigate on this one, when our systems´re fully back.

Cheers

I want to join the chat, because I have the same problem. I'm currently on Version 112 and want to update to the latest 212 Version. But the Update shows the same error as listed by andr3y.

I even tried to "enable Bios Update" in the .log (or was it .123) file.

Hi @MHDude ,

thank you for your feedback. I´ll try to provide further information until the end of the week. @andr3y : Could you plerase confirm, that the issue is still present with your machine?

Cheers and a happy x-mas

Happy Christmas!
