What kind of operation are you running over there?
I finally find time to update my old board. Wasted couple of hours because of misleading post information. There is a large section in the middle “Updating a Mainboard outside of a laptop” which assumes one can update to 3.23 and 3.24 outside of the laptop (I am running my board in external case). This does NOT work - CapsuleApp won’t do any update without battery attach without any specific error message. It just won’t do update. And only in the bottom there is a note “This update requires a battery present to complete the update.“ which actually mean no outside update possible.
So what was the “Updating a Mainboard outside of a laptop” section about then? If it needs battery, it is not “outside of laptop“. “This release supports standalone updates without a battery attached only when updating using the EFI shell method only.“ - not working due to CapsuleApp.efi doesn’t work without battery attached.
If someone having same issues I described here please note - you HAVE TO CONNECT BATTERY if you want to install 3.23 and 3.24. Once you connect battery, everything going smooth, you will get 3.23 first, 3.24 next. Now, if Framework do release new version in future, it might be possible to install it without battery. However taking into account age of the board, I won’t count on it.
