Error upgrading skulls on x230 #158

Open edward-riley opened 4 years ago

I already have skulls installed. I installed skulls using 1vyrain.

When booting up manjaro with iomem=relaxed and attempting to upgrade my bios using the tarball from the releases section i get this error:

it looks like IFD is not unlocked in flash. maybe 1vyrain did not do that?

merge commented 4 years ago

from what I read over there https://github.com/merge/skulls/issues/136#issuecomment-582478666 I think if you installed via 1vyrain, you indeed have to stick to 1vyrain to update.

edward-riley commented 4 years ago

alright, but doesn't skulls only supports BIOS and 1vyrain only support UEFI? I have spent the last 2 weeks attempting to find a solution, but i dont know if there is one.

edward-riley commented 4 years ago

Fixed! I added -U as a perimeter on my flashrom script.

I tried it, but flashrom not support the parameter -U, could you specify how you got it? Thank you :)
