    If you have an Envy 15-3xxx please help me.

    I need the Partition HP_TOOLS to restore envy from bios corruption.
    without anyone's help maybe I should change motherboard.


    If u have it please give me the file of HP_TOOLS.
    Just installing softpaq UEFI is useless this issue. There is not bios file. Only who had updated bios have the rom file at HP_TOOLS partition I think.

    I did everything that I can. Install HP_TOOLS in USB Memory and put bios update files from extracted softpaq and renamed it 01688.bin, 1688.fd and bin, 01688F07.fd and bin etc. but bios recovery did not work.

    It is emergency for me.
    Please if you can, help me just little that give me the partition.
