Official method didn’t work for me either. Try my solution in the comments. Look back to December or January.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1734147] Re: corrupted BIOS due to Intel SPI bug in kernel
FOR USERS WITH ACTIVE BASH LINE Hello after a long loong long struggle and learning and with the above patch http://people.canonical.com/~ypwong/lp1734147/linux- image-4.15.0-041500rc6-generic_4.15.0-041500rc6.201712312330+clear+debug_amd64.deb I successfully restored UEFI BIOS on Lenovo B50-80. The only solution working for me, if I hadn't played with windows efi boot manager: First I installed Ubuntu 16.04 in Oracle Virtual Box on Windows PC on a flash drive - must be at least 16GB. I had to forbid creating any virtual disks. Assigned live CD from iso and then simply attached Flash drive. It was better on Windows than Live Linux. After successful install on USB Flash drive, I plugged the Flash drive to the affected Lenovo. From minimal Bash-line I found the grub.cfg location on USB. usually - ls (hd0,XY)/boot/grub I used the configfile command - configfile (hd0,msdos1)/boot/grub/grub.cfg - in my case. Grub 2.02 started without hesitation and allowed me to pick to run Ubuntu 16.04 on the USB drive. Booted in the system I did all the necessary updates sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade I also used boot-repair, that allowed me to see grub graphical interface straightaway after reboot. But I think this is not necessary. I did not use ukuu for a kernel upgrade, I just simply used wget command. Nice inspiration is here: http://sourcedigit.com/22874-update-linux-kernel-4-14-rc7-ubuntu-systems/ UEFI BIOS started to work only after the last upgrade which you can find here in this forum, and allowed me to change anything permanently after exit. Then I was able to boot any bootable CD or USB Drive. However I did Lenovo One key recovery, which magically started to work after UEFI BIOS was unlocked. Good luck for those still struggling. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1734147 Title: corrupted BIOS due to Intel SPI bug in kernel Status in Linux: Unknown Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in linux-hwe-edge source package in Xenial: Fix Released Status in linux-oem source package in Xenial: Fix Released Status in linux source package in Artful: Fix Released Bug description: An update to linux kernel on Ubuntu 17.10 that enabled the Intel SPI drivers results in a serial flash that is read only in Intel Broadwell and Haswell machines with serial flashes with SPI_NOR_HAS_LOCK set.

But previous affected machines still suffered from a broken BIOS. Repair: If you still can boot into Ubuntu, you can recover your BIOS with the following steps: 1. Boot into Ubuntu 2.

Once installed, reboot. 5. At grub, choose the newly installed kernel. You can choose the "recovery" mode. 6. Reboot and go to BIOS settings to confirm your BIOS has been recovered. 7. In case your BIOS is not recovered, reboot to the new kernel, then reboot *once again* to the new kernel, do not enter BIOS settings before the reboot. After the second reboot, check BIOS. 8. If your BIOS issue remains, download another kernel from http://people.canonical.com/~ypwong/lp1734147/linux-image-4.15.0-041500rc6-generic_4.15.0-041500rc6.201712312330+clear+debug_amd64.deb, and use dpkg to install it, then repeat steps 4 to 6. After your BIOS is fixed, the kernel packages you just installed are no longer needed, you can remove it by running 'sudo dpkg -r linux- image-4.15.0-041500rc6-generic'. --- Test Case: Fix has been verified by our HWE team on affected hardware.
