[Bug 1791407] Re: Thinkpad L570 UEFI destroyed after BIOS update
The same for me. I guess the only way to repair it is to flash the chip from external using SPI (via Raspberry Pi etc.). Unfortunately there are no images available on the Lenovo website. I would really be great if Lenovo could release such images. Extracting the image from the UEFI package also seems not to work with recent Thinkpad UEFI. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1791407 Title: Thinkpad L570 UEFI destroyed after BIOS update To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/fwupd/+bug/1791407/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

> Lenovo are currently investigating what went wrong I've just heard back from them. The bricking should only only occur on these selected models when you upgrade from a very old firmware version to a very new firmware version. This is because the old (as in the version you're upgrading from) firmware had a bug that meant the screen was not initialized correctly and the update progress bar was not being shown. The beeps actually mean "flashing, don't turn off" rather than "system error". > After about one minute I manually switched off the system via a 5 second press on the power button This is when the firmware was actually being flashed -- but of course you didn't know that :( Lenovo are preparing a new update that checks the previous firmware version before being scheduled. This should be on the LVFS in the next few hours. They also shared some guidance about how to recover a bricked machines: * Remove all power supplies, which includes the AC adapter, the main battery, *and* the coin battery. * Press and hold the power button for 30s. * Attach all of power supplies and press the power button to power on the computer. Depending on when the firmware update was interrupted this may or may not recover the laptop. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1791407 Title: Thinkpad L570 UEFI destroyed after BIOS update To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/fwupd/+bug/1791407/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1791407] Re: Thinkpad L570 UEFI destroyed after BIOS update
Sorry for the double comment. I'm not sure if this is a fault of fwupd or the fact that lenovo released a fault firmware; anyway I think Ubuntu should not push firmware updates along normal system updates. Bios updates are very dangerous (as shown in this bug-report) and even Lenovo says on their official documentation to NOT update the bios unless your system isn't working as expected. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1791407 Title: Thinkpad L570 UEFI destroyed after BIOS update To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/fwupd/+bug/1791407/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
