Hi everyone,
After contacting Chuwi support regarding the CPU discrepancy (Ryzen 5500u showing as 7430u), they provided the official BIOS files to fix the system information and hardware identification.
Since the included .bat file might not work for everyone, here is the manual method that worked perfectly for me using the Command Prompt (CMD).
Preparation:
1. Connect your charger: Never perform a BIOS update on battery power.
2. Download the BIOS files: You can get them from the official support link here: https://u.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=XZy7tt5ZOpYGdx7GjDVsyfLQYhedtbjmFS7X
3. Extract the ZIP: Extract all files into a local folder (e.g., C:\BIOS).
Flashing Steps:
1. Open the Start Menu, type “cmd”, right-click it, and select “Run as Administrator”.
2. Navigate to your BIOS folder using the cd command. For example:
cd C:\Users\YourUsername\Downloads\AB525_V00.01_0005_20260325\BIOS
3. Once you are inside the folder, copy and paste the following command and press Enter:
AFUWINx64.exe AB525_V00.01_0005_20260325.bin /P /B /N /X
4. Wait: The process will erase, write, and verify the new firmware. Do not touch anything until it finishes.
5. Restart: Once completed, restart your laptop.
Important: Post-Update Step
After the first reboot, it is highly recommended to reset the BIOS to its factory defaults to ensure system stability:
1. Enter BIOS (press F2 during boot).
2. Go to the Save & Exit tab.
3. Select Restore Defaults (or Load Optimal Defaults).
4. Select Save Changes and Exit.
I hope this helps the community!
