STEP TO REPRODUCE:
Using EFI shell via USB drive.
Step 1 - Unzip file to bootable USB drive.
Step 2 - Reboot, go straight into the flash update screen.
Step 3 - Remember that I didn’t disable secureboot like I was supposed to.
Step 4 - reboot into BIOS settings, disable secureboot
Step 5 - Reboot, go straight into the flash update screen.
Step 6 - Press enter to begin flash
Step 7 - See this (note this is abridged; I can upload a complete photo if desired):
Flashing Firmware 1: Current mode:2, starting row:22, Total rows: 117.
…
Flashing Firmware 2: Current mode:2, starting row:118, Total rows: 501.
…
Flash completed successfully.
…
Unable to redirect file.
Script Error Status: Invalid Parameter (line number 116)
FS0:\framework-firmware-update\firmware>
…
Step 8 - Waited for about 5 minutes to see if anything will happen, nothing happened.
Step 9 - power cycle machine.
Step 10 - BIOS update starts again, but displays a message saying power adaptor is not connected.
Step 11 - I moved the power adaptor from left side to right side, and front to back. Didn’t help.
Step 12 - Unplugged the power adaptor, turned off the laptop, waited about 5 minutes.
Step 14 - Plugged it back in, put the bootable USB back in, and powered laptop on.
Step 15 - Straignt into flash update screen. Press enter to begin flash.
Step 16 - some time later, flash update was complete and successful.
OBSERVED RESULT: First attempt was “Unable to redirect file” (see step 7). Second attempt (after letting the EC reboot) was successful.
EXPECTED RESULT: Obviously this one, we expect it to flash successfully and be reflected in BIOS settings.
ISSUE RECOVERY METHOD: See step 12 above (unplug, power down, and wait).
EXTERNAL DEVICE MODE or NAME: generic USB
