HP will allow the same BIOS to be re-applied but wont allow you to downgrade the BIOS to a lower version.

i have just upgraded the BIOS on mine and my wifes systems
from H22 to H23 for my system (24ck x000)
and H32 to H33 on my wifes system (24ca x000)

once done there seems to be no way back to the older BIOS
both systems are running just fine with the new BIOS update.

best of luck Steve ..

Hey Guys, I'm still dealing with this f30 error on my HP Elitebook 840 G5. I have abandoned the installing of 2023 certificates and just want to solve this problem. If any one have any concrete guidance to resolve this error. Please hit me up. I am able to boot into Windows, with Legacy and Secure boot supports disabled. Thanks in advanced.

Your only hope is to follow some of the online hints on forcing your HP to reflash the same BIOS image again.

Usually you disable BitLocker first, download the spxxxxx.exe update file from HP, and run some Windows command-line or power-up key sequence to get it to read from an USB drive. I don't have this model, so my knowledge stops about there. The expectation is when it rewrites the BIOS, it won't save the currently corrupted NVRAM values in the same way it's done now. Which gets you out of the error mode.

One question, would using BCD fix, rebuild solve the f30 error? Or applying default bios settings? Just asking. Thanks.

Hello. I have been dealing with an f30 error on my HP Elitebook 840 G5. I have tried several suggested solutions I picked up from the Net. They don't seem to work. I tried to manually install the 2023 Secure Boot certificates a few weeks ago, without success. Now I get this f30 error whenever I enable Secure Boot. Laptop will Boot up to Windows, but, only if Legacy and Secure Boot supports are disabled. I want to able to enable Secure Boot for security. Can someone please help with this??? Thanks.

No. The f30 error is from the BIOS itself, reporting it has corrupted NVRAM data. The BIOS knows how to check if the Secure Boot variables are intact by running a self-test on the stored certs.

boot error f30 is normally the system cant find the boot device

can you make a bootable Linux live USB to boot from to check the system from a live environment
this wont install anything to your system but it will be able to check your hardware including any installed drives.

note
if you use bitlocker please unencrypt your drives and disable bitlocker for the time being.
best of luck Steve ..

most likely but i wish to eliminate hardware problems first
then move on to BIOS and secure boot updates, especially manually updating the system.

disabling bitlocker will assist in both if it is enabled.

garlin's diagnosis was pretty clear.

The OP should stick to one thread for the same issue...

Ran system diagnostics, ssd, memory, processor, tpm 2.0 all check out good (passed). If it's the BIOS itself, I have changed secure boot support options, reset secure boot to factory defaults, still no change in f30 error. What can I do now???
