Surface Pro 3: Update failed #2

Closed masc-git closed 2 years ago

masc-git commented 4 years ago

hi! i tried to repack the SurfacePro3-WiFi_Win10_18362_1902002_0.msi firmware. the scripts finished ok; uploading the cab's with fwupdmgr works too ('Successfully installed firmware') but after rebooting i got some errors from the system at rebooting:

Found update fwupd-ux-capsule Found update fwupd-5a2d987b-cb39-42fe-a4cf-d5d0abae3a08-0 Adding new capsule Adding new capsule WARNING: Could not apply capsules: Unsupported start_image() returned unsupported

the updates are not applied after the reboot, the firmware-version remains the old one. any hints?

I have the same problem on a SP3 (same files as the OP), but the same worked well on a SP5.

@masc-git, have you found a solution?

Anyway, I opened an issue on https://github.com/fwupd/fwupd 's issue tracker (https://github.com/fwupd/fwupd/issues/3104), so that the developers of fwupd are aware of the problem.

From the linked issue it sounds like there's nothing we can do about this. The problem seems to come from firmware/UEFI, so if updating firmware on Windows works it's likely using some non-standard mechanism.
