I am currently on BIOS 02.06.E006. Thanks to @Fleshmauler I was able to find the BIOS system files but the only version of the bios that has a recovery file is 02.06.E007. The older versions do not contain a bios recovery image.
I’ve tried to set the jumper to BIOS recovery and recover it with the 02.06.E007 Recovery image on the USB stick but the system beeps 2 times then 2 times again and says “no recovery image found” right under the Platform ID in the picture above. I don’t know if that is because the BIOS I have is 006 and not 007 or what. I’ve tried to search for an 006 recovery image for my motherboard but could not find one.
I cannot access the Bios set up utility or access the EFI shell so I am unable to update the bios. It is very frustrating.
I’m lost as to what to try next besides take my motherboard out of the case and try to turn it on with the bare minimum as suggested earlier by @oxyde and @joeschmuck. I will do this in the coming days and see if I have better luck.
I really appreciate everyone’s help. If anything comes to mind, feel free to chime in or add it. I’m open to suggestions.
Did you verify that the files are showing on the USB stick, all in the root directory? I looked at the Startup.nsh file in Notepad and I didn’t see any obvious typos, that I noticed. It is a simple script
echo -off

echo Flashing Romley Platform BIOS...
iflash32 /u /ni R02.06.0007Rec.cap
echo -on
I verified them showing on the stick on my windows computer. I copied and pasted them myself, unplugged, replugged, everything was there and then I plugged it directly to the mobo giving me trouble.
I would use notepad to open the Startup.nsh file on the USB and verify the contents match to the recovery image.
I am wondering if you got the NSH from outside BIOS recovery files directory somehow. The only difference is the file it calls. Recovery vs standard bios
Are you seeing
Flashing Romley Platform BIOS…
and then the missing file error?
I downloaded this one, directly from the intel site. I found an older recovery file from softpedia. I may try it but right now I’m no longer getting video for some reason. I don’t know why this happens.
I edited my post. It was my mistake posting the incorrect screenshot jumped the gun to show you. Ive been using the files from the recov folder the whole time for the usb.
