Fails to update ThinkCentre M70q-4 system firmware #446

Closed orontee closed 3 months ago

orontee commented 4 months ago

The computer host is a ThinkCentre M70q-4 with version 0.1.31 of the "system firmware".

When I download version 0.1.34 of ThinkCentre-Tiny9-SystemFirmware-M4VKT22A.cab and run:

sudo fwupdmgr --allow-reinstall install  ~/Téléchargements/37c79a9279fd118f1eb67dcc5f5e7d134a2a1acaab67e27f6e580b2b3710f51a-ThinkCentre-Tiny9-SystemFirmware-M4VKT22A.cab

a message displays "Successfully installed firmware" and I am invited to reboot the computer, but on reboot the system firmware is still 0.1.31.

Same result when updating using gnome-firmware...

Could you try with fwupd-efi 1.6 and a newer fwupd (1.9.something) please? If that doesn't work we can debug a bit more.

I installed a recent fwupd using Flatpak:

$ sudo -i flatpak run org.freedesktop.fwupd --version

But I failed to install the .cab file:

$ sudo -i flatpak run org.freedesktop.fwupd --allow-reinstall install  .var/app/org.freedesktop.fwupd/data/37c79a9279fd118f1eb67dcc5f5e7d134a2a1acaab67e27f6e580b2b3710f51a-ThinkCentre-Tiny9-SystemFirmware-M4VKT22A.cab

Finally I managed to solve the missing signed bootloader:

$ sudo -i flatpak run  --devel --command=sh org.freedesktop.fwupd

Specified firmware is older than the minimum required version '0.1.34 < 65567'

And using get-devices I see with this strange minimum version:

Oh it doesn't tell it's using fwupd-efi 1.6 as you asked 😟

Hmm, the flatpak is really designed for peripherals -- I think it might need some testing to be able to deploy capsules. It also won't have a fwupd-efi that's capable of being used with secure boot -- as it's not going to be signed by someone like Red Hat.

I finally updated through a BIOS updater on a USB key. Had to disable secure boot for this to work. May be it explains this issue...
