Device becomes unresponsive upon Ctrl+L #605

Closed retroflexivity closed 3 months ago

retroflexivity commented 3 months ago

Device: Acer cp713-3w (VOXEL)

Installed the RW_LEGACY firmware, but can't legacy boot. On the developer mode screen, upon pressing ctrl+l, the device freezes infinitely on the same screen. The USB stick, if plugged in, also seems to get disconnected at that point (stops glowing).

The same happens if I choose 'select alternative bootloader' > 'tianocore'. Booting from internal storage is working.

would include some logs, but don't know how to get them, sorry

there's not much I can do to debug RW_LEGACY not working on a given device, since I'd need to have debug stock firmware, which isn't available. Sometimes the stock firmware is just broken for RWL

I wonder if there's anything I can do. and whether there's a chance a fix is coming

MrChromebox commented 3 months ago

no to both unfortunately. Only thing I could do is rebuild the RW_LEGACY payload and hope that it was an edk2 issue that's since been fixed

retroflexivity commented 3 months ago

would be great, thank you

I suppose this fact doesn't increase the chance the device will get bricked if I install UEFI?

MrChromebox commented 3 months ago

not at all

retroflexivity commented 3 months ago

great. pls tell me when you rebuild the payload, i will try it and go the UEFI way if it fails
