The issue with BIOS firmware update

Dear Razer Support Team,

I tried to update BIOS firmware from 1.04 to 1.08 and faced with the issue. Every time I update, I get the next flow: Razer updater → reboot → Razer logo → Windows → BIOS still 1.04

 

The device’s technical characteristics:

  • Razer Blade 16 RZ09-0510
  • SKU RZ09-05102EJ9
  • i9-14900HX
  • BIOS 1.04
  • EC 1.00
  • official BIOS updater offers 1.04 → 1.08
  • updater completes its Windows progress normally
  • computer restarts several times
  • UEFI/firmware flashing interface never appears
  • computer returns directly to Windows
  • BIOS remains 1.04
  • BitLocker fully disabled
  • Windows Hello disabled
  • Windows and Optional Updates current
  • Memory Integrity tested Off
  • Microsoft Vulnerable Driver Blocklist tested Off
  • NVIDIA mode = Optimus
  • same failure persists

The Updater window:


My questions are:

1. Is BIOS 1.06 required as an intermediate firmware for some RZ09-0510 systems currently on BIOS 1.04? (some games required BIOS firmware 1.06)

2. If so, can Razer provide the official signed RZ09-0510 BIOS 1.06 updater—or a corrected 1.08 updater that can stage directly from 1.04?

 

Let me know please if you need additional information.

 

Thanks!

I have the same exact problem with Blade 14 2025, going from 1.01 to 1.06. Tried disabling Core Isolation, unplugging all devices, turning off Fast Startup, Win Hello, Bit Locker, switching to Optimus. No matter what I try, it wont update the BIOS

 

SOLVED!!

After all that I mentioned, the trick was to right click the installer file and select "Run as an Administrator.” After the update it will ask you to confirm new AMD CPU codes, just type Y
