Abstract: Systems and methods are provided to perform BIOS recovery for a first information handling system that is in a no-boot state, i.e., in which the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) boot block (OBB) on the first information handling system is corrupted or damaged and thus does not properly execute. OBB BIOS recovery may be achieved using logic executing on a second and different information handling system that is wirelessly communicating with initial boot block (IBB) BIOS firmware that is executing on the first information handling system. The logic executing on the second information handling system may select and download (e.g., from a remote server) a correct uncorrupted and undamaged copy of the BIOS recovery firmware version for the first information handling system, and then wirelessly transfer the downloaded new copy of the OBB BIOS firmware version to the first information handling system via an established secure wireless connection.
