x230 BIOS 2.70 #55
Comments
The process is pretty simple. Open the Descriptions.txt and find the four occurrences of "g2uj23us.iso" and replace all but the first one with "g2uj26us.iso" However, nothing in the update image flashing process has changed (except for the BIOS firmware file itself), so it seems strange that there would be an issue like you are describing. I know it sounds like a silly question, but are you sure you have a x230? |
It does say x230 on the monitor, and it is not the tablet version. I'll give it a whack this evening. |
Per the 2.70 release notes:
I think this may be causing your problem. I'm experiencing a similar issue trying to downgrade my X230 BIOS from 2.70 an earlier version. |
@rslindee - if that was the case, I would expect a message like "Signed capsule only allow equal and newer version." and not "BIOS part numbers do not match". Also, there is the point that this patch is not flashing the BIOS, so does not run up against the BIOS version downgrade requirements. |
First of all, thanks a lot for all the effort you guys spend on this project. Does anyone has an idea what else to try? |
OK, so I have an update. Today I made the USB drive bootable. I can't that completely comprehend what was wrong but it seems that Tip: If you're not sure what is wrong, create a virtual machine (Virtual Box) and try to boot the ISO. If it works in the virtual machine, you're probably messing up crating a bootable USB stick. |
I am naive user, I have a x230 laptop and my battery drained out completely. Now I bought third party battery and as suggested in this community and by seeing the youtube video I tried to get rid of battery white list. I successfully followed the steps till patch file turned ON. after that when I tried to make patch I got error message after typing "make patch.x230.img" ultimately saying failed to make patch image file. |
actual message as follows g2uj23us.iso.orig 100%[===================>] 32.36M 798KB/s in 38s 2018-02-04 08:07:54 (861 KB/s) - ‘g2uj23us.iso.orig’ saved [33927168/33927168] scripts/checksum --rm_on_fail g2uj23us.iso.orig g2uj23us.iso I think iso mentioned in the message belong to older bios but today only I have updated to 2.7 version BIOS. is their any solution for this error? |
Even I tried after changing the file name as suggested "g2uj26.iso' but still not working. |
Well I don't see any error message in your submission to be honest |
Oh sorry I forgot to paste last 4 lines. Yes its true I did get error message. After typing "make patched.x230.img" it processed but ultimately got failed to create iso image. As I have little knowledge about the programming I could not explain in technical manner sorry for that. Anyway, I tried as described and followed each step carefully but without success. My BIOS version is 2.70. |
To be very clear to anyone reading this, my suggestions to update the Descriptions.txt file were /only/ if you were intending to create an update to this repo to add support for new firmware versions. If you are simply trying to install the patched firmware, then the 2.70 bios uses the same EC as the previous three releases and any issues are unrelated to the BIOS versions |
@naivePC you sound like you have a completely different issue to what this ticket is for - can you open a new ticket and paste every single line that your build produces into it. There are important debugging details that are included in the build output that are needed to do any diagnostics |
here is the full description of my trial mint@mint ~ $ sudo apt-get install build-essential git mtools libssl-dev The following packages have unmet dependencies: So to overcome the problem I have downloaded from git and continued like this mint@mint ~ $ ls The following make targets are the supported usb images: patched.t430.img - for patching Thinkpad T430 2018-02-05 10:48:45 (1.59 MB/s) - ‘g2uj23us.iso.orig’ saved [33927168/33927168] scripts/checksum --rm_on_fail g2uj23us.iso.orig g2uj23us.iso Ultimately showing error 127. This is exactly whats happening to me. Please help me. |
@naivePC this would be much simpler if you opened a new ticket for your different problem. You do not have git installed - this software is essential, so you will need to install that first. |
I can confirm that replacing g2uj23us.iso with g2uj26us.iso in Descriptions.txt works on X230 with bios 2.70. At least for me :-) My diff here: https://gist.github.com/majekw/cfb38fd86f2c109d12cb6b4805f4bc30 |
After testing by majekw confirms that this works (See #55) update the BIOS version for the x230 that we base our patches on. This version has no EC changes, so there is no difference in the actual patch.
Thanks @majekw, I've applied that patch |
Yes, it does work - the current version is building against g2uj29us.iso
and Lenovo has not made any changes to the EC firmware for a while now.

Does this work with BIOS 2.73? I have installed it with g2uj29us.iso

Thanks for you answer @hamishcoleman; I deleted my comment as it wasn't related to this and opened a new issue (#94) |
I have my thinkpad updated to the latest version. The bootable image that was made automatically wouldnt proceed - BIOS flash utility said it didn't match the hardware. The bios ISO is
g2uj26us.iso
. I can take a whack at it if I have an outline of the procedure.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
