Installed (UEFI) Full ROM on my Lenovo C340-11 but rebooting just leads to a black screen #607

Closed Hexseas closed 2 months ago

Hexseas commented 2 months ago

Searched a bit around for how to fix this but am left confused. Seems A Suzy Qable is the closest thing to a solution. But I would rather have another method to fix my problem. It doesn’t recognise the device I used to install the thingo earlier in the process. And the local and verified image selections just lead to a black screen. So any solutions?

I don't understand the problem

huh?

what is "it"? thingo?

And the local and verified image selections just lead to a black screen

those are options when doing what?

Boot splash screen appears then it goes to a black screen. Clicking esc during the 2 second window it appears gives me the boot screen option. I tried different options but to no avail. Just a black screen.

MrChromebox commented 2 months ago

"I tried different options" doesn't tell me anything. You flashed the UEFI firmware, so you need to install a UEFI-bootable OS from USB. Have you done that?

Hexseas commented 2 months ago

So I am supposed to install UEFI-bootable on a usb? I enabled secure boot, then rebooted which results in me ending up in the UEFI shell. The usb I had connected has a file called stock-firmware-phasor360-(numbers).rom

I basically followed this video (https://youtu.be/z6oyqrrXTLM?si=kiuSkRpa68ULI6RY) until 13:23 but i got a black screen. Stock firmware? No, I installed the UEFI full rom, I don’t think I’m trying to get into chromeos. I just need to figure out why it’s doenst let me and just gives me a black screen.

if you can't communicate what you've done, what you're trying to do, and what the device is doing, then we can't help you.

My problem is similar to the closed #586 but I don’t have any os installed locally. And I ran the ChromeOS Firmware Utility Script, with wp disabled, selected menu option 2. Now it boots up to a black screen. Literally all I did. As I said before the usb has a file called stock-firmware-phasor360-(numbers).rom. And if none of this is helpful, please enlighten me on details that can help you understand my issue and help me fix it, instead I saying we can’t help you.

I will try what you said initially but yea any way of booting I am aware of (just powering it on, default boot, reboot) results in a black screen. I always come to this one menu (image attached) 372E00D1-06E3-45E4-B37E-C1513AE63068 which all lead to a black screen regardless of choice.

Hexseas commented 2 months ago

Thanks for pointing that out and helping me. Any suggestions for an os?

MrChromebox commented 2 months ago

I pushed a fix to the script that will prevent the ChromeOS remnants from being booted after flashing the UEFI firmware
