Thanks,
Successfully updated from 3.06 Beta to 3.08b today using the new EFI method.
I used to have issues with the 3.06 Beta Update, probably caused by my NVME drive being self encrypted using SED/OPAL PBA (see 12th Gen Intel Core BIOS 3.06 Beta - #22 by janekt)
The new method worked fine with my setup. Had to unlock the encrypted drive on every reboot of the updater, but the updated continued without issues.
UPDATE 1: looks like after the update, the right PD controller’s version is different from the version of the left controller. The script also didn’t asked me to change port of power cable/usb stick.
Is this to be expected?
UPDATE 2: After poweroff for 90 seconds + reboot into EFI updater, the “Backup App” for the right PD controller was suddenly on “0.1.44”. “Main App” stayed on 0.1.33.
Even after several reboots, 90sec without power, restart of EFI updater etc:
I then manually called the PD updater for the Right controller in EFI Shell, which successfully updated the Right PD controller to 0.1.44 (while having PD power on top-left, usb drive on bottom-left port):
To me it looks like something went wrong during PD Controller update in the startup script and the startup script doesn’t retry updating the PD controller firmware.
