You can use 7z to decompress the exe on your Legion Go for future reference.

If you DON'T have secure boot enabled on your Legion Go, just open a terminal and run

sudo fwupdtool install-blob isflash.bin

sudo fwupdtool install-blob isflash.bin

. Pick the 'System Firmware' option. If you do have secure boot enabled, disable it first in the BIOS.

Jj0rge can someone post this on the forum?

tryhardsoccermomswag•7/19/24, 4:28 PM

I can

Kamquat•7/19/24, 4:28 PM

yep np. Also if you want secure boot after the update again (if you were using it before), just

ujust enroll-secure-boot-key

ujust enroll-secure-boot-key

and follow the directions as normal as a final step. if not, don't worry about it

Kamquat•7/19/24, 4:29 PM

@Cali Cali IF YOU GET A BLACK SCREEN AFTER THE INITIAL BIOS UPDATE SCREEN JUST WAIT. Lenovo is stupid.

Kamquat•7/19/24, 4:30 PM

I hope they saw that before they did the flash and rebooted
