The <tt>tp_smapi</tt> kernel module exposes some features of the ThinkPad hardware/firmware via a <tt>sysfs</tt> interface. Currently, the main implemented functionality is control of battery charging and extended battery status. The tp_smapi software package also includes an improved version of the [[HDAPS]] driver. The underlying hardware interfaces are [[SMAPI support for Linux|SMAPI]] and direct access to the embedded controller.

This driver uses undocumented features and direct hardware access, so it may work unreliably or even damage your hardware; but so far no such damage has been reported.

If you are installing on a recent Thinkpad that has an Ivy Bridge processor (X230, T430, T530, etc.), tp_smapi will not work. Use thinkpad-acpi.

===Features===
*<tt>tp_smapi</tt> driver
**Battery charge/discharge control
**Battery status information
*<tt>hdaps</tt> driver (compared with the standard <tt>hdaps</tt> driver)
**Improved stability
**Improved model support
**Improved functionality

===Project Homepage / Availability===
* Project page: http://tpctl.sourceforge.net/
* Download page: http://sourceforge.net/projects/tpctl/files/tp_smapi, a newer version 0.41 is available in a fork at https://github.com/evgeni/tp_smapi which is also available in Debian
* You need to download only the tp_smapi package.

===Installation===
====Installation from source====
You will need the kernel headers and makefiles corresponding to your current kernel version. On {{Fedora}}, this means {{cmdroot|yum install kernel-devel-$(uname -r)}} .

:{{cmdroot|tar xzvf tp_smapi-0.40.tgz}}
:{{cmdroot|cd tp_smapi-0.40}}

Then, either compile and load the driver within the current working directory (for testing):
:{{cmdroot|make load}}
OR compile and install into the kernel's module path:
:{{cmdroot|make install}}

If you use the [[HDAPS]] driver, add <tt>HDAPS=1</tt> to also patch the <tt>hdaps</tt> for compatibility with <tt>tp_smapi</tt> (this requires a kernel source tree matching the current kernel).
Again, either load the driver within the current working directory:
:{{cmdroot|1=make load HDAPS=1}}
OR install into the kernel's module path:
:{{cmdroot|1=make install HDAPS=1}}

To prepare a stand-alone patch against the current kernel tree (including
a patch against <tt>hdaps</tt> and new <tt>Kconfig</tt> entries):
:{{cmdroot|make patch}}

To delete all autogenerated files:
:{{cmdroot|make clean}}

The original kernel tree is never modified by any these commands.
The {{path|/lib/modules}} directory is modified only by {{cmdroot|make install}}.

====Installation in Gentoo====
The {{Gentoo}} portage system carries a [http://packages.gentoo.org/package/app-laptop/tp_smapi tp_smapi package], which follows the latest version pretty closely. On a Gentoo system, you can install and load as follows.

If you use the [[HDAPS]] driver, do this first:

* Disable the <tt>hdaps</tt> module in your kernel configuration (Device Drivers → Hardware Monitoring Support → IBM Hard Drive Active Protection System)
* Rebuild and install the kernel
* Add the <tt>hdaps</tt> use flag in {{path|/etc/make.conf}}
* {{cmdroot|rmmod hdaps}}

Then:
* {{cmdroot|emerge tp_smapi}} (or install tp_smapi with hdaps support manually, as above)
* {{cmdroot|echo "tp_smapi" >> /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6}}
* {{cmdroot|echo "hdaps" >> /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6}}

Then reboot, or run:
* {{cmdroot|modprobe tp_smapi}}
* {{cmdroot|modprobe hdaps}}

'''NOTE:''' If {{cmdroot|modprobe}} fails and dmesg says something about <tt>__stack_chk_fail()</tt>, you probably just compiled your modules with <tt>-fstack-protector</tt> and/or <tt>-fstack-protector-all</tt> without having a kernel that supports it. You can either configure your kernel to have <tt>CC_STACKPROTECTOR</tt> enabled (in ''Processor type and features'' if you use {{cmdroot|make menuconfig}}) or edit your <tt>make.conf</tt> (or, if you're using paludis, your <tt>/etc/paludis/bashrc</tt>) and remove <tt>-fstack-protector</tt> and <tt>-fstack-protector-all</tt> from your <tt>CFLAGS</tt>. If you choose to enable it in the kernel, be aware that you need a patched GCC for it (and I do not know if the gcc in stage3 is patched).

====Installation on Debian unstable (sid), testing (squeeze) or stable (lenny)====
Debian now contains the [http://packages.debian.org/tp-smapi packaged module source] and prebuilt modules for Debian kernels.

If you use a stock Debian kernel, you can install the tp_smapi modules with:
* {{cmdroot|apt-get install tp-smapi-modules-`uname -r`}}
* in order to make sure the modules package is kept in sync with the kernel one, you may also want to install the <code>tm-smapi-modules-2.6-686</code> or <code>tm-smapi-modules-2.6-amd64</code> package, depending on your architecture

If you use a custom kernel, you can build tp_smapi with module-assistant:
* {{cmdroot|aptitude install tp-smapi-source}}
* {{cmdroot|m-a -t a-i tp-smapi}}

====Installation on Debian unstable (sid) or testing (squeeze) (kernel >=2.6.32-5)====
You can use 'dkms' on Debian unstable (sid) or testing (squeeze) (kernel >=2.6.32-5) (Note: If installation seems ineffective, confirm your have the linux-headers of your kernel installed, purge tp-smapi-dkms and reinstall.)
* {{cmdroot|aptitude install tp-smapi-dkms}}

====Installation on openSUSE====
openSUSE provides rpm packages. Look for them at the package search: [http://software.opensuse.org/search/], search for the package named "tp_smapi".

A step-by-step guide on how a relative linux newbie installed tp_smapi on a Thinkpad W500 running openSuse 11.1 using YAST Software Manager is available [http://forums.opensuse.org/hardware/laptop/417254-tp_smapi-lenovo-thinkpad-t400-t500-w500-step-step.html#post2005932 here]

In case you are taking the hard way around, while compiling on 11.0, make complained about not being able to locate the kernel sources. It worked for me after I did this:
<pre><nowiki>cp /usr/include/linux/aio_abi.h /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/include/linux/</nowiki></pre>

====Installation on Ubuntu====
Ubuntu ships tp_smapi in their <tt>linux-ubuntu-modules-*</tt> package for Hardy, so you don't have to build it yourself. Please note that they have renamed tp_smapi's modified <tt>hdaps</tt> module to <tt>hdaps_ec</tt> so that the two can coexist. You should load <tt>hdaps_ec</tt>, not <tt>hdaps</tt>.

Ubuntu Intrepid and Jaunty, however, lack the <tt>hdaps_ec</tt> module, as reported [https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/297213 here]. It will not be included again until said [[#Bundled hdaps driver|bundled hdaps driver]] is merged into mainline.

=====Installation on Ubuntu Jaunty=====
I have posted my experiences [http://meandmyubuntu.blogspot.com/2009/05/getting-hdasp-to-work-on-jaunty.html here]

=====Installation on Ubuntu Karmic=====
Ubuntu does not ship the precompiled module tp_smapi any more. However the source code is still present in the repository. It can be installed through module-assistant :
:{{cmdroot|aptitude install tp-smapi-source}}
:{{cmdroot|module-assistant prepare tp-smapi}}
:{{cmdroot|module-assistant auto-install tp-smapi}}
:{{cmdroot|modprobe tp-smapi}}

=====Installation on Ubuntu Lucid=====
The Karmic solution above works well.

As an alternative, one can use the dkms flavour of the packages via
:{{cmdroot|aptitude install tp-smapi-dkms}}
:{{cmdroot|modprobe tp_smapi}}

{{HINT|This appears to be the ideal solution. A description of DKMS, from [http://linux.dell.com/projects.shtml#dkms Dell]: "DKMS stands for Dynamic Kernel Module Support. It is designed to create a framework where kernel dependent module source can reside so that it is very easy to rebuild modules as you upgrade kernels."}}

====Installation on older Ubuntu/Debian====
Installation on Ubuntu or Debian is quite easy, but there are a few things to look after:

To get your system ready for compiling code, install the build-essentials (as root, of course, as all of the following comands; Ubuntu users have to prepend 'sudo' to every line and enter their own password when prompted):
<pre><nowiki>apt-get install build-essential</nowiki></pre>

To get tp_smapi to work, obtain the latest source as mentioned above and unpack it. If you want to use HDAPS, you need to install the kernel source matching te kernel you are running. To do so, issue this:
<pre><nowiki>uname -r</nowiki></pre>
This will give you the version of your current kernel.
Debian users execute the following:
<pre><nowiki>apt-get install linux-source-`uname -r`</nowiki></pre>
Ubuntu users execute the following using the kernel-version only (exclude -XX-generic; e.g. 'linux-source-2.6.20'):
<pre><nowiki>apt-get install linux-source-`uname -r`</nowiki></pre>

Be sure to unpack the source file. The easiest way is to open Nautilus as root:
<pre><nowiki>sudo nautilus</nowiki></pre>
Then browse to /usr/src/ and extract the source file to that directory.

Now change to the tp_smapi dir:
<pre><nowiki>cd tp_smapi-X.YY</nowiki></pre> (X.YY being the version-number of [[tp_smapi]])
and make and install tp_smapi as instructed above.

If you get an error that the kernel version isn't matching (or that you need to set KSRC/KBUILD), please check that there is a symlink from the modules dir to the kernel source:
<pre><nowiki>root@localhost:~#ls -l /lib/modules/2.6.20-16-generic
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 2007-02-02 08:39 build -> /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.20</nowiki></pre>
Create the link if the line above does not exist:
<pre><nowiki>root@localhost:~#ln -s /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.20 /lib/modules/2.6.20-16-generic/build</nowiki></pre>

Now the following will build and install the correct modules to their locations:
<pre><nowiki>make install HDAPS=1</nowiki></pre>
To make sure your system loads the modules at boot time, do this:
<pre><nowiki>echo "tp_smapi" >> /etc/modules
echo "hdaps" >> /etc/modules</nowiki></pre>
and update your initramfs:
<pre><nowiki>update-initramfs -u</nowiki></pre>

To get tp_smapi running now, just load the modules:
<pre><nowiki>modprobe -a tp_smapi hdaps</nowiki></pre>

This description was tested on Kubuntu 'Feisty Fawn' and should work on all Debian-based distros with minor tweaks.

'''EDIT:''' Works on Kubuntu 7.10 ("Gutsy Gibbon"), too

===Battery charge control features===
{{NOTE|Not all Thinkpad ECs support these charge control features. If you get the message "Operation not supported" when trying to cat for the status of a given parameter, it means your controller does not support that feature.}}

To set the thresholds for starting and stopping battery charging (in percent of current full charge capacity):
:{{cmdroot|echo 40 > /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/start_charge_thresh}}
:{{cmdroot|echo 70 > /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/stop_charge_thresh}}
:{{cmdroot|cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/*_charge_thresh}}
{{HINT|Battery charging thresholds can be used to keep Li-Ion and Li-Polymer batteries partially charged, in order to [[Maintenance#Battery_treatment|increase their lifetime]].}}
To prevent charging for 17 minutes (regardless of thresholds):
:{{cmdroot|echo 17 > /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/inhibit_charge_minutes}}
{{HINT|Charge inhibiting can be used to reduce the power draw of the laptop, in order to use an under-spec power supply that can't handle the combined power draw of running and charging. It can also be used to control which battery is charged when [[How to use UltraBay batteries|using an Ultrabay battery]].}}

To cancel charging preventation:
:{{cmdroot|echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/inhibit_charge_minutes}}

To force battery discharging (even if connected to AC):
:{{cmdroot|echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/force_discharge}}
{{HINT|This can be used to choose which battery is discharged when [[How to use UltraBay batteries|using an UltraBay battery]]. For example, see the {{CodeRef|tp-bat-balance}} script.}}

To cancel forced discharge:
:{{cmdroot|echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/force_discharge}}

{{HINT|TPBattStat-Applet is a gnome applet for integrating battery balancing with a graphics and/or text display of both batteries in a panel. Battery balancing improves battery life by not leaving one battery empty while the other discharges. For the latest alpha release, see https://github.com/teleshoes/tpbattstat-applet}}

====Making the settings permanent on reboot====

If you always use the same type of battery, then you may want the same settings to be configured each time you boot the machine.

If you use various types of battery, then you may want to consider writing some scripts to detect the battery type and apply the appropriate settings.

=====Debian=====

It is not necessary to create your own init.d script or modify /etc/rc.local - you just need the package sysfsutils:
:{{cmdroot|apt-get install sysfsutils}}

Now, put your desired settings in /etc/sysfs.conf:

<pre><nowiki># cat >> /etc/sysfs.conf << EOF
# For a LiIon battery in a Thinkpad
devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/start_charge_thresh = 50
devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/stop_charge_thresh = 80
EOF</nowiki></pre>

The init script supplied by sysfsutils will load these settings on each boot.

===Battery status features===
To view extended battery status such as charging state, voltage, current, capacity, cycle count and model information:

<pre>
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/installed
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/state # idle/charging/discharging
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/cycle_count
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/current_now # instantaneous current
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/current_avg # last minute average
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/power_now # instantaneous power
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/power_avg # last minute average
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/last_full_capacity
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/remaining_percent
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/remaining_running_time
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/remaining_charging_time
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/remaining_capacity
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/design_capacity
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/voltage
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/design_voltage
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/manufacturer
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/model
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/barcoding
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/chemistry
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/serial
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/manufacture_date
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/first_use_date
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/temperature # in milli-Celsius
# cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/ac_connected
</pre>

The raw status data is also available, including some fields not listed above (in case you can figure them out):

:{{cmdroot|cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/dump}}

In all of the above, replace <tt>BAT0</tt> with <tt>BAT1</tt> to address the 2nd battery.

Note that the battery status readout conflicts with the stock [[HDAPS|hdaps]] driver, so if you use <tt>hdaps</tt> you will need to load <tt>tp_smapi</tt> using {{cmdroot|1=make load HDAPS=1}} (see [[#Bundled hdaps driver|Bundled hdaps driver]] below).

On [[ACPI]]-enabled systems, most of above information is also available through the files under {{path|/proc/acpi/battery}}. However, the ACPI interface does not include the instantaneous power and cycle count readouts, and does not work well when [[How to use UltraBay batteries|hotswapping UltraBay batteries]].

====Scripts====
Some scripts can make it easier to grep the information you need from tp_smapi
* [[battery.rb]]

===Other features===

There is also [[sysfs]] attribute for making direct SMAPI requests to the SM BIOS firmware. Don't touch it unless you really know what you're doing. Example:
# echo '211a 100 0 0' > /sys/devices/platform/smapi/smapi_request; cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/smapi_request
211a 34b b2 0 0 0 'OK'
The "4b" in the 2nd value, converted to decimal, is 75: the current charging stop threshold (stop_charge_thresh).

===Bundled <tt>hdaps</tt> driver===

The tp_smapi package includes a modified version of the <tt>hdaps</tt> Linux kernel driver used by the [[HDAPS]] system. It has remained outside the mainline kernel for a few years for several reasons, [https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kernel-team/2009-April/005565.html] including the upstream maintainer's assertion that the new code's anonymous author was under a NDA. (Although this would not normally expose the kernel team to litigation.) [http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/9/15/126] [http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/10/7/403] [http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/10/7/428]

To use <tt>tp_smapi</tt> and <tt>hdaps</tt> concurrently, you '''must''' use the modified version.

To build the modified version, simply append the <tt>HDAPS=1</tt> parameter to the <tt>make</tt> command (see [[#Installation|Installation]] above):
:{{cmdroot|1=make load HDAPS=1}}
or
:{{cmdroot|1=make install HDAPS=1}}

If you don't do that, you will not be able to load <tt>tp_smapi</tt> (and its support module <tt>thinkpad_ec</tt>) when <tt>hdaps</tt> is loaded, and vice versa. You can use <tt>rmmod</tt> to switch between these modules.

Note that some of the battery status is also visible through ACPI ({{path|/proc/acpi/battery/*}}), independently of <tt>tp_smapi</tt>.

The modified <tt>hdaps</tt> has several changes:
* The <tt>hdaps</tt> driver in mainline kernels conflicts with the extended battery status (they use the same IO ports). The modified <tt>hdaps</tt> coordinates this access through the bundled <tt>thinkpad_ec</tt> driver.
* The modified <tt>hdaps</tt> driver fixes reliability and improves support for recent ThinkPad models (*60 and newer), since unlike the mainline driver, it correctly follows the Embedded Controller communication protocol.
* Several other improvements, such as the ability to control the polling rate.

===Troubleshooting===
==== <tt>thinkpad_ec: cannot claim io ports 0x1600-0x161f</tt> ====
The "<tt>thinkpad_ec: cannot claim io ports 0x1600-0x161f!</tt>" error message is printed when loading the <tt>thinkpad_ec</tt> module on some recent ThinkPad models. This occurs because the ACPI BIOS DSDT is reserving ports used by tp_smapi.

As a workaround, add the <tt>force_io=1</tt> module parameter to <tt>thinkpad_ec</tt> in {{path|/etc/modprobe.conf}} (or your distribution's equivalent). Add the line:
: options thinkpad_ec force_io=1

For transient testing, load the modules as follows:

: {{cmdroot|1=make load HDAPS=1 FORCE_IO=1}}

Note: force_io option was added in tp_smapi v0.40 (released 2008-12-16).

Models which need this option include: {{T400}}, {{T500}}, {{X60s}}, {{X61}}, {{X301}}

More information:
* http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12221
* http://www.nabble.com/thinkpad_ec-fails-to-load-on-Thinkpad-T500-td19932985.html

==== <tt>thinkpad_ec: no ThinkPad embedded controller!</tt> ====
If you get "<tt>thinkpad_ec: no ThinkPad embedded controller!</tt>" when trying to load the module on a supported model listed below, you should [[BIOS_Upgrade|upgrade your BIOS]]. Some early BIOS (like 1.x on the X31) don't handle the embedded controller.

==== <tt>T60p writing to start_charge_thresh/stop_charge_thresh does not work!</tt> ====
Writing to /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/start_charge_thresh succeeds, but the older value does not change. Solution: unknown. If you know a solution please update here.

UPDATE: Failure to effectively change sysfs values sometimes happens at boot time (through sysfs.conf OR etc/local.start for instance) when the values have never previously been changed manually (ie using echo from a shell). Try initializing the values manually before including them in boot-time scripting.

===Model-specific status===

Tip: The <tt>thinkpad-acpi</tt> module reports both the BIOS and EC firmware versions when it loads.

=====SL series and IdeaPad=====
|-
! colspan=12 style="text-align:left" |
The ThinkPad SL series and IdeaPad series have firmware that is completely different from other ThinkPad models. Neither [[tp_smapi]] nor [[thinkpad-acpi]] support these models.
|}
</div>

SMAPI capabilities may depend on the BIOS version as well, so upgrading to the latest version of the BIOS might provide more SMAPI functions (especially true for long-lived BIOS with lots of releases, like the TP-1R).

Please update the above and report your experience on the [[Talk:tp_smapi|discussion]] page. If the module loads but gives a "<tt>not supported</tt>" or "<tt>not implementeded</tt>" error when you try to use some specific file in {{path|/sys/devices/platform/smapi/}}, please report the <tt>dmesg</tt> output and whether the corresponding functionality is available under Windows - maybe your ThinkPad just can't do that.

While at it, you may also want to add your laptop to the [[list of DMI IDs]].

=====HDAPS axis orientation=====
1 The HDAPS axis orientation is set using the <tt>invert</tt> module parameter (at load time) or sysfs attribute (at runtime). The <tt>hdaps</tt> driver of tp_smapi supports all 8 possible sensor orientations (inversion and swapping). You can use [[HDAPS#Visualisation_of_ThinkPad_orientation|hdaps visualisation]] to check if the settings is correct.

The <tt>invert</tt> parameter is an integer between 0 and 7, whose meaning is defined below. (This is confusing. Most people will find it easier to just try all 8 possibilities.)

Let <tt>X</tt> and <tt>Y</tt> denote the hardware readouts. Let <tt>R</tt> denote the laptop's roll (tilt left/right), and let <tt>P</tt> denote the laptop's pitch (tilt forward/backward). The possible values are as follows:
invert=0: R= X P= Y (same as mainline)
invert=1: R=-X P=-Y (same as mainline)
invert=2: R=-X P= Y (new)
invert=3: R= X P=-Y (new)
invert=4: R= Y P= X (new)
invert=5: R=-Y P=-X (new)
invert=6: R=-Y P= X (new)
invert=7: R= Y P=-X (new)

[[Category:Drivers]] [[Category:Patches]]

===Tools using this driver===

The driver's interface can be accessed directly through the files under {{path|/sys/devices/platform/smapi}}, or via the following tools:
* [[KThinkBat]] - display battery status on the KDE <tt>kicker</tt> panel.
* [[gkrellm-ThinkBat]] - battery status plugin for Gkrellm2
* {{CodeRef|thinkpad-smapi.sh}} - script to display various SMAPI information using tp_smapi module.

* George Tellalov <gtellalov_dontspamme@bigfoot.com>. BIOS 1.16 from spsdin36.exe worked perfectly with the method bootable cd from floppy image. I highly recommend this upgrade because it made my ibm-acpi module load (it wouldn't load before) and fixed some suspend to ram problems. Here's the [http://george.tellalov.info/bios_upgrade_600e_spsdin36.iso cd image] I used. Use at your own risk. You can send me a chocolate if it works for you ;)
|-
| {{600E}} 2645-5bU ||
* Mike Vincent<matchstc-putobvioushere.com>. Bios 1.16 from spsdin36.exe and then to the boot cd worked great for me. Thought I had bricked it three separate times using a "real" floppy! Each from different diskettes .The updater would start, give me the "going to take30 seconds" speech...and then access the HD for 10 minutes. Each time it would reboot fine. Did the cd as described above...worked great first time. Perhaps 10 year old seldom used floppy disc drives have some challenges?

* Amit Gurdasani <gurdasani at yahoo dot com>. BIOS 1.13 flashed fine with cabextract/CD method. Alarmingly, after the BIOS update, the laptop beeped but did not shut down as was indicated onscreen -- that was frozen on the "do not shut down the laptop" screen. On power down and up again, the BIOS setup showed the newer BIOS image running, and Linux booted up fine. Linux ACPI didn't complain about the BIOS being too old either.

* George Tellalov <gtellalov_dontspamme@bigfoot.com>. BIOS 1.16 from spsdin36.exe worked perfectly with the method bootable cd from floppy image. I highly recommend this upgrade because it made my ibm-acpi module load (it wouldn't load before) and fixed some suspend to ram problems. Here's the [http://george.tellalov.info/bios_upgrade_600e_spsdin36.iso cd image] I used. Use at your own risk. You can send me a chocolate if it works for you ;)

* Mike Vincent<matchstc-putobvioushere.com>. Bios 1.16 from spsdin36.exe and then to the boot cd worked great for me. Thought I had bricked it three separate times using a "real" floppy! Each from different diskettes .The updater would start, give me the "going to take30 seconds" speech...and then access the HD for 10 minutes. Each time it would reboot fine. Did the cd as described above...worked great first time. Perhaps 10 year old seldom used floppy disc drives have some challenges?

{| width="100%"
|style="vertical-align:top;padding-right:20px;width:10px;white-space:nowrap;" | __TOC__
|style="vertical-align:top" |
This page is meant to describe ways to update the BIOS on a ThinkPad that only runs Linux for users that don't have ready access to Windows. If you have Windows on your ThinkPad you can just boot into it and follow instructions on the Lenovo website.

Updating the BIOS in Linux (with few exceptions) '''is not officially supported''' by Lenovo. However there are work arounds.

 
{{WARN|By following any of the instructions here you are accepting the '''very real risk''' of turning your ThinkPad into a big expensive paper weight, as a firmware update gone wrong can create unfix-able problems.

'''Proceed at your own risk!'''}}
|}

= Downloading New Firmware =
{{WARN|Flashing the wrong firmware for your hardware may cause permanent damage to your ThinkPad. It is up to you to confirm that the firmware you are using is correct.}}

A list of links to firmware downloads can be found at [[BIOS Upgrade Downloads]] for most Thinkpad models. You can also check the Lenovo Support website's [http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/default.page?#|ThinkPad driver matrix].

Lenovo/IBM provides firmware upgrades in a variety of packages:
* Diskette
* Non-diskette
* Linux diskette
* BIOS Utility
* Bootable CD

Not every type of package is available for every model.

The ''BIOS Utility'' and ''Bootable CD'' packages combine the BIOS and ECP firmwares. For the other packages, there is one for each firmware.
{| align="right" style="width:20em;"
| {{HELP|Can an image be extracted from a "Linux diskette" .exe file?}}
|}

The ''Linux diskette'' is just the ''Diskette'' package that runs on Linux instead of Windows/DOS. It's unknown if a boot image can be extracted from it.

You may need to try different packages to find the one from which you can extract a boot image.

== Two Firmwares: BIOS and ECP ==
{{WARN|Flashing incompatible firmwares, or flashing them in the wrong order, may cause permanent damage to your ThinkPad.}}

It is important to understand that Thinkpads from IBM have two separate firmwares: the BIOS, and the Embedded Controller Program (ECP).

A given BIOS version will require a certain version of the ECP. You must read the Lenovo website and/or .txt files to confirm which BIOS is compatible with which ECP, and '''the order in which to update them'''.

=== Update Order ===
The Lenovo/IBM documentation is sometimes unclear about the order in which these two firmwares should be updated. When in doubt (i.e. IBM didn't provide specific instructions for your model or a particular firmware update), '''update the ECP first, and then the BIOS'''. Also, make sure to do the two updates '''immediately one after the other'''.

The EC firmware is usually much better at backwards compatibility than the BIOS.

{{NOTE|Updaters for newer models take care of both BIOS and EC, and use automatically whatever sequence is needed, so you don't have to worry about it.}}

== Installed Firmware ==
You can check the current BIOS and ECP versions on your ThinkPad by using '''dmidecode'''. For example:

{{cmdroot|dmidecode -s bios-version}}

1RETDRWW (3.23 )

{{cmdroot|dmidecode -t 11}}

# dmidecode 2.9
SMBIOS 2.33 present.
Handle 0x0029, DMI type 11, 5 bytes
OEM Strings
String 1: IBM ThinkPad Embedded Controller -[1RHT71WW-3.04 ]-

Showing BIOS version 3.23 (1RETDRWW) and ECP version 3.04 (1RHT71WW).

===DMI IDs===
Please consider updating the [[List of DMI IDs]] before (and after) updating your BIOS.

= Updating Firmware =

Firmware flasher program can run on DOS (Lenovo PC DOS) or Windows but, unfortunately, not Linux. So ''in theory'' there are two basic steps to update the firmware (either the BIOS or the ECP) on a ThinkPad not running Windows:
# Get or create a bootable image with supported OS
# Boot that image and ran flasher

Recent Thinkpads have firmwares available as ''Bootable CD'' image, e.g., FILENAME.iso. If you have an optical drive there is no need to read this page any further: just download .iso image, burn it and boot to flash bios. If you are not that lucky, read on.

First you need to realize that there are different ways to boot DOS on PC (theoretically it is possible to boot Windows to ran flasher, but why?...): from internal hard drive, CD drive, USB Flash drive or, as the last resort, floppy drive. Easiest way is from internal hard drive, but you'd better avoid touching it until you don't want to loose files there. [[Booting from a Floppy]] is not recommended, so there are two best options to boot: CD drive or USB Flash drive.

Sparse instructions below provide you guidance how to do different parts of this pazzle but it's your duty to understand what to do and how to do that.

== Create a bootable image ==

In case Lenovo does not provide your laptop with ''Bootable CD'' it is possible to create one from *discket packages.

=== Extracting an update image ===
{{WARN|Though this process has been successfully tested on many versions of .exe files found on IBMs website, that doesn't mean it will work for all of them. '''Proceed at your own risk'''. Consult the testing tables farther down of this page to see other users' experience with your model Thinkpad.}}
{{NOTE|Lenovo has changed the packaging format. Old bios can be extracted with [http://freshmeat.net/projects/cabextract/ '''cabextract'''], new ones with [http://innoextract.constexpr.org/ '''innoextract'''].}}
Older .exe installers from Lenovo mostly appear to be just a wrapper license program around Windows .cab files (see [[How_to_change_the_BIOS_bootsplash_screen|BIOS-Bootsplash]]). If you install the Linux program [http://freshmeat.net/projects/cabextract/ '''cabextract'''] you can expand these .cab files directly. For example, if you downloaded {{path|1iuj13us.exe}} from Lenovo:

:{{cmduser|cabextract 1iuj13us.exe}}

Extracting cabinet: 1iuj13us.exe
extracting 1IUJ13US.IMG
extracting BIOSUPTP.EXE
extracting DOBOOT.EXE
extracting DOSBOOT.COM
extracting DOSBOOT.SYS
extracting DOSBOOT.VXD
extracting DOSBOOT2.COM
extracting ECTLUPTP.EXE
extracting EFLASHAS.SYS
extracting HDFWUPTP.EXE
extracting IBMTPI.XML
All done, no errors.

The file we want is '''FILENAME.IMG''', with "FILENAME" being the .exe. you downloaded. E.g., {{path|1IUJ13US.IMG}}.

If this does not work for the Non-diskette .exe, try it on the Diskette .exe. It's reported, for example, that the Non-diskette .exe for BIOS version 3.23 for the T41p was not extractable, but the Diskette .exe worked perfectly, with {{cmduser|cabextract}} delivering a .IMG file.

==== If cabeextract/innoextract fails ====

Diskette .exe for some older models can't be extracted using cabextract. For example for the latest BIOS of 390E one gets
spsdilc9.exe: no valid cabinets found
Since such .exe will only extract the files to a floppy, there seems to be no way to extract them using Linux. The situation is actually even more complicated, as neither Vista nor Windows 7 allow these .exe to access the floppy drive directly. Neither DosBox nor Wine were able to "fool" the programm using virtual floppies. A solution that works is to use Windows XP (works in VirtualBox too) together with [http://sourceforge.net/projects/vfd/ Virtual Floppy Drive]. Rund vfdwin.exe, go to the Driver tab and hit Install and Start. Then go to the Driver0 tab, click on Change and select A:. Finally, click on Open/Create, and click Create. This should give you a virtual floppy drive the .exe file will extract files to.

==== Testing the Image ====

You can test that FILENAME.IMG is really a floppy image by running:

{{cmdroot|mkdir /tmp/mntfloppy}}

{{cmdroot|mount -o loop FILENAME.IMG /tmp/mntfloppy}}

If a '''ls''' command on the image returns what looks like a DOS floppy, and no read errors were displayed, you have a pretty good chance that the image is usable. For example:

{{cmdroot|ls /tmp/mntfloppy}}
$0195000.FL1 069580.PAT 06d2.HSH IBMDOS.COM TPCHKS.EXE
0691.HSH 06D0.PAT 06d6.HSH LOGO.BAT UPDTFLSH.EXE
0691.PAT 06D1.PAT 06d8.HSH LOGO.SCR UPDTMN.EXE
0694.HSH 06D2.PAT CHKBMP.EXE PHLASH16.EXE USERINT.EXE
0694.PAT 06D6.PAT COMMAND.COM PREPARE.EXE UTILINFO.EXE
0695.HSH 06D8.PAT CONFIG.SYS PROD.dat lcreflsh.bat
0695.PAT 06d0.HSH FLASH2.EXE QKFLASH.EXE
069580.HSH 06d1.HSH IBMBIO.COM README.TXT

Unmount the image after you are done testing:

{{cmdroot|umount /tmp/mntfloppy}}

== Booting from update image ==
Now that you have a bootable image for the correct update for you hardware, you need to do is boot from that image to install the update.

There are different ways to do that:
* [[#Booting from a CD|Boot from a CD]]
* [[#Booting_using_GRUB|Boot image using bootloader (e.g. GRUB)]]
* [[#Booting_from_a_USB_Flash_drive|Boot from a USB Flash drive]]
* [[#Booting_from_a_floppy|Boot from a floppy]]

=== Booting from a CD ===
{| align="right" style="width:40em;"
|{{HINT|If there is a ''Bootable CD'' image available, e.g., FILENAME.iso, just download that, instead of mucking around with image files.}}
|}
If you are going to update the firmware by booting from a CD, you need to turn FILENAME.IMG that you extracted above into an .iso file.

The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Torito_%28CD-ROM_standard%29 El Torito Bootable CD Specification] is a wonderful thing. Thanks to it, a bootable CD can be made with a bootable floppy image in such as way that the CD believes that it is a 2.88 MB floppy drive. This allows you to replace a boot floppy by a boot CD in nearly all situations.

It is very easy to create such a bootable CD ISO image in Linux using the '''mkisofs''' tool{{footnote|1}}. Run a command as follows:

{{cmdroot|genisoimage -b 1WUJ25US.IMG -c boot.catalog -o bootcd.iso 1WUJ25US.IMG}} #or older mkisofs

Where *.IMG is the name of the image file extracted above. This creates a CD with one file on it and marks that file as the boot image.

You can now burn the {{path|bootcd.iso}} to a CD in your favorite CD-burning program.
{{WARN|By following any of the instructions here you are accepting the '''very real risk''' of turning your ThinkPad into a big expensive paper weight, as a firmware update gone wrong can create unfix-able problems. '''Proceed at your own risk!'''}}

Boot from the CD to update your firmware. Remember to have [[BIOS_Upgrade#Two_Firmwares:_BIOS_and_ECP|both BIOS and ECP firmware boot-CDs]] ready, as needed, and use them in the [[#Proper_Order|proper order]].

{| align="center"
| {{HELP|Please, report your success/failure with flashing BIOS from the manually cooked CD (from .IMG file) here: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/BIOS_Upgrade_Booting_from_a_CD_comments}}
|}

=== Booting using GRUB ===
{|
| style="width:75%" | {{WARN|Many have warned '''not''' to use the SYSLINUX image-loader '''memdisk''' to boot firmware update images.}}
| style="font-size:80%" | {{HELP|Who are these "many"? Link to a discussion?}}
|}
Once the bootable image, FILENAME.IMG, is extracted from the .exe, it can be booted directly through GRUB without the need of burning a CD, using the [http://syslinux.zytor.com/ SYSLINUX] image-loader '''[http://syslinux.zytor.com/memdisk.php memdisk]'''.

Locate the '''memdisk''' file from the syslinux package. You can search for it with '''find''':

{{cmdroot|find /usr -name memdisk}} #or just use "dlocate memdisk" or "locate memdisk" if these programs are installed

If {{path|/usr/.../memdisk}} is not present, syslinux is not installed. You will need to install it to boot a .IMG from GRUB.

Copy both the '''FILENAME.IMG''' and '''memdisk''' files into {{path|/boot}} directory. For example:

{{cmdroot|cp ./FILENAME.IMG /usr/share/syslinux/memdisk /boot/}}

Open {{path|/boot/grub/menu.lst}} in your favourite editor. '''Copy''' the active section into a '''new section''', and edit the new section:
{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2"
! Parameter
! Instructions
! Example
|-
| ''title'' || Pick a name for the new section. This will show up in the GRUB boot menu. || <tt>title IBM ECP Update</tt>
|-
| ''root'' || Do not change. This is the partition containing the {{path|/boot}} directory || <tt>root (hd0,0)</tt>
|-
| ''kernel'' || '''/boot/memdisk''' will allow you to boot an image file. || <tt>kernel /boot/memdisk</tt>
|-
| ''initrd'' || This is the name of the firmware-updater image file, e.g., 1IUJ13US.IMG || <tt>initrd /boot/1IUJ13US.IMG</tt>
|}

Do '''not''' modify the original section in {{path|/boot/grub/menu.lst}}, or you might not be able to boot back to the operating system.

If you have [[#Two_Firmwares:_BIOS_and_ECP|two firmware updates to do]], you will need a section for each firmware's FILENAME.IMG in {{path|/boot/grub/menu.lst}}.

{{NOTE|If both BIOS and ECP are to be updated, be sure to update them in the [[#Proper_Order|proper order]].}}

{{WARN|By following any of the instructions here you are accepting the '''very real risk''' of turning your ThinkPad into a big expensive paper weight, as a firmware update gone wrong can create unfix-able problems. '''Proceed at your own risk!'''}}

Reboot your computer, entering the GRUB menu and selecting ''IBM BIOS Update'', or whatever you named the new section in {{path|/boot/grub/menu.lst}}.

==== GRUB2 ====
With grub2, one would ''append'' the following to ''/boot/grub/grub.cfg'' :
menuentry "My BIOS Upgrade" {
set root=(hd0,0) #should match the others in your grub.cfg
linux16 /boot/memdisk
initrd16 /boot/1WUJ25US.IMG #or whatever yours is
}

==== GRUB2 Boot CD Image ====
Download the bootable iso file from the Lenovo Website. Copy the file 'memdisk' from the syslinux package to /boot. Also create a symlink, so you do not have to change the grub configuration for each bios upgrade:
<pre>
sudo su -
cd /boot
cp /home/youruser/Downloads/6uuj12uc.iso .
cp /usr/share/syslinux/memdisk .
ln -s 6uuj12uc.iso biosupgrade.iso
</pre>
Now create the boot entry:
<pre>
cat >> /etc/grub.d/40_custom <<EOF
menuentry "Lenovo BIOS Upgrade" {
set root=(hd0,1) # <-- check for correct numbering
linux16 /boot/memdisk iso
initrd16 /boot/biosupgrade.iso
}
EOF
update-grub
</pre>
Reboot an Select "Lenovo BIOS Upgrade".

For the next Bios Upgrade you'll just need to copy the new iso file to /boot and adjust the symlink.

=== Booting from a USB Flash drive ===

==== Updating the BIOS in MS-DOS mode ====
(This process works for most Thinkpad models that has Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7 OS)

1. Using HP USB Boot Utility, [http://blogs.oreilly.com/digitalmedia/2004/10/utility-to-make-usb-flash-driv.html create a bootable USB flash drive [http://www.bay-wolf.com/utility/usbkey/win98boot.zip DOS using Windows 98 Boot Disk Floppy Image].

2. Extract the (*.ima) from the ISO BIOS image (e.g. [http://www.rarsoft.com WinRAR] will do this).

3. Using a tool that can open .IMA files (such as [http://www.winimage.com/ WinImage]), extract all files to a temporary folder.

4. Run the HP tool, select the USB device, I used FAT32, create a DOS bootable disk and point at the win98boot folder - then "Start". Warning: this '''formats''' the USB flash drive and all data will be erased!

5. Once complete (you could test if it boots at this point), copy the extracted BIOS files from the temporary folder you created to the USB flash drive.

6. Boot from USB flash drive by pressing F11 within the BIOS boot logo. At the DOS command prompt, type "updflsh" and then follow the prompts by pressing "Y" or Enter. Make sure that you have a fully charged battery pack and the AC Adapter is firmly plugged before proceeding with the BIOS update.
'''DO NOT Power off the laptop or unplug the USB flash drive while the update is in progress or else update will fail and your computer will be unable to boot and system board may need to be serviced.'''

This process takes around 1-2 minutes. A long beep followed by a short beep will notify you that the update is complete and the system will automatically power off.

7. Power on the laptop then enter the BIOS setup by pressing F1 and Load BIOS defaults.

==== Using grub4dos (also for Linux) ====

[http://grub4dos.sourceforge.net/wiki/ grub4dos] is a GNU GRUB fork with interesting features. One of them is the ability to boot ISO images directly off USB flash drives. Contrary to the name, GRUB for DOS works fine on Linux. Follow these steps:
* Download the latest grub4dos package at http://download.gna.org/grub4dos/ (I needed 0.4.4 for my USB2 drive - 0.4.3 did not work.)
* Unpack
* Insert your FAT-32 formatted pendrive
* Run <code>sudo ./bootlace.com /dev/sdX</code>, where /dev/sdX is the device name assigned to your pendrive (use <code>sudo fdisk -l</code> to figure this out). Be very careful to get the device correct or else you could overwrite your hard drive! This creates grub4dos boot sector in MBR of the flash drive.
* Copy the files <code>grldr</code> and <code>menu.lst</code> to the root directory of your pendrive.
* Convert the ThinkPad .IMG file to a .ISO file using <code>genisoimage -b 1yuj18us.img -c boot.catalog -o 1yuj18us.iso 1yuj18us.img</code>
* Copy the ISO image to the root directory of your pendrive (e.g. <code>1yuj18us.iso</code>).
* Edit <code>menu.lst</code> on the pendrive and include the following section (of course putting the appropriate ISO image name):
<pre>
title thinkpad-bios
map (hd0,0)/1yuj18us.iso (hd32)
map --hook
chainloader (hd32)
boot
</pre>
* Reboot and press F12 to select booting from USB.
* If all went well, you should be able to boot the Thinkpad's ISO image and flash the BIOS. I tested it successfully on T400. [[User:Wanted|Wanted]] 20:23, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

=== Booting from a Floppy ===
{{WARN|Using a floppy disk '''is NOT recommended'''.}}

This is how IBM/Lenovo intended it. Use their .exe files to create a bootable floppy with the flash update on it. Boot from the floppy and there you go.

So, why is it not recommended?
# If something goes wrong, your ThinkPad may be permanently damaged
# Floppy disk drives are not reliable
# Floppy disks are not reliable
# It only works with /dev/fd0, meaning it won't work with a USB floppy

So, even though Lenovo is now offering "Linux diskette" updaters, that will create a bootable floppy under Linux, using a floppy is still not recommended. Besides, many people don't even ''have'' a floppy drive on their ThinkPad.

If you really want to do it with a floppy, some tips:
* Use a clean (in the physical sense) floppy drive
* Use new floppies
* Test floppies for errors before starting update process
* Have multiple copies of the update disks ready--if one should fail, replace it with a copy
* Should DOS complain of a read error, '''only''' respond wth "Retry"

{{NOTE|Should the system encounter a disk read error during the flash process, and you select "Abort", your system could be permanently damaged.}}

==== Using UNetbootin ====

Unetbootin 422 worked with the image files unpacked with cabextract on my x31.

{{HELP|How exactly did you do this? It failed for me. Does it work only with .IMG files that are converted to .ISO files, or can .ISO files provided by Lenovo also work (how?)}}

=== Booting from a Network Boot Image ===
BIOS, ECP, CD/DVD and Harddisk firmware disks can be booted over the network with [http://syslinux.zytor.com/pxe.php PXELINX] as part of the [http://syslinux.zytor.com/ SYSLINUX] package. This requires that you have a DHCP and tftp server configured and setup properly on your network, and is probably not for the faint of heart.

Make sure the firmware bootdisk is in linux 'dd' format, as the self-extracting .exe disks from the IBM website cannot be booted directly as such.

This worked on the {{R31}}, {{X22}}, {{T21}}, {{T30}} and {{T41p}} with various firmware updates. On the {{X22}}, it worked with ECP 1.30 but '''not''' with BIOS 1.32

=After updating=
Lenovo recommends reseting your BIOS settings to their factory defaults after a firmware update.

Also, please consider updating the [[List of DMI IDs]] after updating your BIOS.

= Special Cases =
* In one case, see ([[APM setup on a type 2379 ThinkPad T40]]), it was not possible to upgrade the BIOS from Windows XP; a downgrade to Windows 98 was required to successfully run the BIOS upgrade app. The symptoms in this case were that, once the files had been extracted to the hard disk, and the machine was to reboot into the upgrade app, it would beep and hang just before reboot, requiring a power cycle. Once the power was cycled, it would simply reboot back into XP without performing any BIOS upgrade actions. So even if you have Windows, you may still need to use the info on this page.

== Updating Thinkpad X Series ==
The special update instructions for {{X_Series}} Thinkpads are quite long. You can find them at the page [[BIOS_Upgrade/X_Series]].

== Alternative BIOS: Middleton BIOS ==
Some Thinkpad models only support SATA1 in their BIOS even though the hardware is SATA2. This is a huge drawback for anyone wanting to use SSDs, because it is so much slower.

Also, it is not possible to install some wireless cards, because only certain models are whitelisted by IBM/Lenovo. The Middleton Bios removes this limitation as well.

Someone made these alternative BIOSes to enable SATA2 on the Thinkpad models that support this. See [http://forum.notebookreview.com/lenovo/459591-t61-x61-sata-ii-1-5-gb-s-cap-willing-pay-solution-8.html#post6501443 the 'notebook review' forum post] for download links and explanations ([http://www.ali.dj/sata-ii-support-for-lenovo-thinkpad-t61-x61-r61/ Alternative link]).

Note: If your BIOS-Update tool says that no update is needed, then simply downgrade the Bios first: On Lenovo's/IBM's download page, the old Bios files are listed at the very bottom of the page.

= Updating without battery or with dead battery =

This is a last-resort approach. Use this only if everything else fails.

The BIOS updater may refuse to update a BIOS without a battery, or if the battery charge is too low. In that case, extract the disk image with cabextract as per instructions above and dd it to an usb stick. (This will destroy the data on it, of course.) Acquire a pure DOS boot cd such as Windows 98 recovery CD and boot that.

Use F8 to abort the boot sequence of a windows 98 boot CD. If you need CD-ROM support, load CD-related things but say no to everything else. In particular, avoid loading himem.sys and doskey, as the presence of either program causes Phoenix bios flash tool phlash16.exe to abort.

Change to the volume where flash2.exe and other tools are installed, and execute "flash2.exe /u". This should bypass the battery check and perform the flashing. If that doesn't work, check if the update disk contains a tool called "phlash16.exe". This can be used directly to flash the image, and the invocation is typically "phlash16 /exit $01c80000.fl1".

This method won't work for the Thinkpad {{560X}} (and likely other older models). Since the 560X is a bit older, it won't be a big surprise if the battery is as dead as a dodo. Here's how to update the bios in this case: download the spsdi833 bios update and create the update floppy. If you have trouble creating this disk, [http://www.mediafire.com/?36o5a8buvbjx07o download an archive with the files] and put them on a floppy. Don't worry about making it bootable. Also, you will need a DOS bootdisk. A Windows 98 bootdisk will be fine. Boot the system with the W98 bootdisk, do not load CD-rom support. Remove the W98 bootdisk and put the disk with the BIOS update in the drive. If you would now run UPDTFLSH you would get the battery message, so don't do that. If you open UPDTFLSH.exe with a text editor, you would find some lines about UPDTROM. UPDTROM is the actual flash tool, but you can't simply run it just like that. Run the following:

*updtrom /np /prep1
*updtrom /np /prep2
*updtrom /np /prep3
*updtrom /np /romcmp /romflsh /prep4
*updtrom /np /h8flsh /h8img /model

Yes, you need to run updtrom five times. Hold your breath and reboot the machine. It's done.

Perhaps not all these lines are necessary, but to be sure I ran them all, and this worked for me. So I suggest you do the same. This could probably be done from the harddisk as well, but I did not test that.

For the {{i1400}} follow instructions on [http://www.motherboardpoint.com/flash-ibm-thinkpad-bios-w-o-battery-t143180.html this] website. It works not only for 2611 but for 2621 types too.

BIOS Upgrade

|style="vertical-align:top" |
This page is meant to describe ways to update the BIOS on a ThinkPad that only runs Linux for users that don't have ready access to Windows. If you have Windows on your ThinkPad you can just boot into it and follow instructions on the Lenovo website.

Updating the BIOS in Linux (with few exceptions) '''is not officially supported''' by Lenovo. However there are work arounds.

 
{{WARN|By following any of the instructions here you are accepting the '''very real risk''' of turning your ThinkPad into a big expensive paper weight, as a firmware update gone wrong can create unfix-able problems.

'''Proceed at your own risk!'''}}
|}

= Downloading New Firmware =
{{WARN|Flashing the wrong firmware for your hardware may cause permanent damage to your ThinkPad. It is up to you to confirm that the firmware you are using is correct.}}

A list of links to firmware downloads can be found at [[BIOS Upgrade Downloads]] for most Thinkpad models. You can also check the Lenovo Support website's [http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/default.page?#|ThinkPad driver matrix].

Lenovo/IBM provides firmware upgrades in a variety of packages:
* Diskette
* Non-diskette
* Linux diskette
* BIOS Utility
* Bootable CD

Not every type of package is available for every model.

The ''BIOS Utility'' and ''Bootable CD'' packages combine the BIOS and ECP firmwares. For the other packages, there is one for each firmware.
{| align="right" style="width:20em;"
| {{HELP|Can an image be extracted from a "Linux diskette" .exe file?}}
|}

The ''Linux diskette'' is just the ''Diskette'' package that runs on Linux instead of Windows/DOS. It's unknown if a boot image can be extracted from it.

You may need to try different packages to find the one from which you can extract a boot image.

== Two Firmwares: BIOS and ECP ==
{{WARN|Flashing incompatible firmwares, or flashing them in the wrong order, may cause permanent damage to your ThinkPad.}}

It is important to understand that Thinkpads from IBM have two separate firmwares: the BIOS, and the Embedded Controller Program (ECP).

A given BIOS version will require a certain version of the ECP. You must read the Lenovo website and/or .txt files to confirm which BIOS is compatible with which ECP, and '''the order in which to update them'''.

=== Update Order ===
The Lenovo/IBM documentation is sometimes unclear about the order in which these two firmwares should be updated. When in doubt (i.e. IBM didn't provide specific instructions for your model or a particular firmware update), '''update the ECP first, and then the BIOS'''. Also, make sure to do the two updates '''immediately one after the other'''.

The EC firmware is usually much better at backwards compatibility than the BIOS.

{{NOTE|Updaters for newer models take care of both BIOS and EC, and use automatically whatever sequence is needed, so you don't have to worry about it.}}

== Installed Firmware ==
You can check the current BIOS and ECP versions on your ThinkPad by using '''dmidecode'''. For example:

{{cmdroot|dmidecode -s bios-version}}

1RETDRWW (3.23 )

{{cmdroot|dmidecode -t 11}}

# dmidecode 2.9
SMBIOS 2.33 present.
Handle 0x0029, DMI type 11, 5 bytes
OEM Strings
String 1: IBM ThinkPad Embedded Controller -[1RHT71WW-3.04 ]-

Showing BIOS version 3.23 (1RETDRWW) and ECP version 3.04 (1RHT71WW).

===DMI IDs===
Please consider updating the [[List of DMI IDs]] before (and after) updating your BIOS.

= Updating Firmware =

Firmware flasher program can run on DOS (Lenovo PC DOS) or Windows but, unfortunately, not Linux. So ''in theory'' there are two basic steps to update the firmware (either the BIOS or the ECP) on a ThinkPad not running Windows:
# Get or create a bootable image with supported OS
# Boot that image and ran flasher

Recent Thinkpads have firmwares available as ''Bootable CD'' image, e.g., FILENAME.iso. If you have an optical drive there is no need to read this page any further: just download .iso image, burn it and boot to flash bios. If you are not that lucky, read on.

First you need to realize that there are different ways to boot DOS on PC (theoretically it is possible to boot Windows to ran flasher, but why?...): from internal hard drive, CD drive, USB Flash drive or, as the last resort, floppy drive. Easiest way is from internal hard drive, but you'd better avoid touching it until you don't want to loose files there. [[Booting from a Floppy]] is not recommended, so there are two best options to boot: CD drive or USB Flash drive.

Sparse instructions below provide you guidance how to do different parts of this pazzle but it's your duty to understand what to do and how to do that.

== Create a bootable image ==

In case Lenovo does not provide your laptop with ''Bootable CD'' it is possible to create one from *discket packages.

=== Extracting an update image ===
{{WARN|Though this process has been successfully tested on many versions of .exe files found on IBMs website, that doesn't mean it will work for all of them. '''Proceed at your own risk'''. Consult the testing tables farther down of this page to see other users' experience with your model Thinkpad.}}
{{NOTE|Lenovo has changed the packaging format. Old bios can be extracted with [http://freshmeat.net/projects/cabextract/ '''cabextract'''], new ones with [http://innoextract.constexpr.org/ '''innoextract'''].}}
Older .exe installers from Lenovo mostly appear to be just a wrapper license program around Windows .cab files (see [[How_to_change_the_BIOS_bootsplash_screen|BIOS-Bootsplash]]). If you install the Linux program [http://freshmeat.net/projects/cabextract/ '''cabextract'''] you can expand these .cab files directly. For example, if you downloaded {{path|1iuj13us.exe}} from Lenovo:

:{{cmduser|cabextract 1iuj13us.exe}}

Extracting cabinet: 1iuj13us.exe
extracting 1IUJ13US.IMG
extracting BIOSUPTP.EXE
extracting DOBOOT.EXE
extracting DOSBOOT.COM
extracting DOSBOOT.SYS
extracting DOSBOOT.VXD
extracting DOSBOOT2.COM
extracting ECTLUPTP.EXE
extracting EFLASHAS.SYS
extracting HDFWUPTP.EXE
extracting IBMTPI.XML
All done, no errors.

The file we want is '''FILENAME.IMG''', with "FILENAME" being the .exe. you downloaded. E.g., {{path|1IUJ13US.IMG}}.

If this does not work for the Non-diskette .exe, try it on the Diskette .exe. It's reported, for example, that the Non-diskette .exe for BIOS version 3.23 for the T41p was not extractable, but the Diskette .exe worked perfectly, with {{cmduser|cabextract}} delivering a .IMG file.

==== If cabeextract/innoextract fails ====

Diskette .exe for some older models can't be extracted using cabextract. For example for the latest BIOS of 390E one gets
spsdilc9.exe: no valid cabinets found
Since such .exe will only extract the files to a floppy, there seems to be no way to extract them using Linux. The situation is actually even more complicated, as neither Vista nor Windows 7 allow these .exe to access the floppy drive directly. Neither DosBox nor Wine were able to "fool" the programm using virtual floppies. A solution that works is to use Windows XP (works in VirtualBox too) together with [http://sourceforge.net/projects/vfd/ Virtual Floppy Drive]. Rund vfdwin.exe, go to the Driver tab and hit Install and Start. Then go to the Driver0 tab, click on Change and select A:. Finally, click on Open/Create, and click Create. This should give you a virtual floppy drive the .exe file will extract files to.

==== Testing the Image ====

You can test that FILENAME.IMG is really a floppy image by running:

{{cmdroot|mkdir /tmp/mntfloppy}}

{{cmdroot|mount -o loop FILENAME.IMG /tmp/mntfloppy}}

If a '''ls''' command on the image returns what looks like a DOS floppy, and no read errors were displayed, you have a pretty good chance that the image is usable. For example:

{{cmdroot|ls /tmp/mntfloppy}}
$0195000.FL1 069580.PAT 06d2.HSH IBMDOS.COM TPCHKS.EXE
0691.HSH 06D0.PAT 06d6.HSH LOGO.BAT UPDTFLSH.EXE
0691.PAT 06D1.PAT 06d8.HSH LOGO.SCR UPDTMN.EXE
0694.HSH 06D2.PAT CHKBMP.EXE PHLASH16.EXE USERINT.EXE
0694.PAT 06D6.PAT COMMAND.COM PREPARE.EXE UTILINFO.EXE
0695.HSH 06D8.PAT CONFIG.SYS PROD.dat lcreflsh.bat
0695.PAT 06d0.HSH FLASH2.EXE QKFLASH.EXE
069580.HSH 06d1.HSH IBMBIO.COM README.TXT

Unmount the image after you are done testing:

{{cmdroot|umount /tmp/mntfloppy}}

== Booting from update image ==
Now that you have a bootable image for the correct update for you hardware, you need to do is boot from that image to install the update.

There are different ways to do that:
* [[#Booting from a CD|Boot from a CD]]
* [[#Booting_using_GRUB|Boot image using bootloader (e.g. GRUB)]]
* [[#Booting_from_a_USB_Flash_drive|Boot from a USB Flash drive]]
* [[#Booting_from_a_floppy|Boot from a floppy]]

=== Booting from a CD ===
{| align="right" style="width:40em;"
|{{HINT|If there is a ''Bootable CD'' image available, e.g., FILENAME.iso, just download that, instead of mucking around with image files.}}
|}
If you are going to update the firmware by booting from a CD, you need to turn FILENAME.IMG that you extracted above into an .iso file.

The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Torito_%28CD-ROM_standard%29 El Torito Bootable CD Specification] is a wonderful thing. Thanks to it, a bootable CD can be made with a bootable floppy image in such as way that the CD believes that it is a 2.88 MB floppy drive. This allows you to replace a boot floppy by a boot CD in nearly all situations.

It is very easy to create such a bootable CD ISO image in Linux using the '''mkisofs''' tool{{footnote|1}}. Run a command as follows:

{{cmdroot|genisoimage -b 1WUJ25US.IMG -c boot.catalog -o bootcd.iso 1WUJ25US.IMG}} #or older mkisofs

Where *.IMG is the name of the image file extracted above. This creates a CD with one file on it and marks that file as the boot image.

You can now burn the {{path|bootcd.iso}} to a CD in your favorite CD-burning program.
{{WARN|By following any of the instructions here you are accepting the '''very real risk''' of turning your ThinkPad into a big expensive paper weight, as a firmware update gone wrong can create unfix-able problems. '''Proceed at your own risk!'''}}

Boot from the CD to update your firmware. Remember to have [[BIOS_Upgrade#Two_Firmwares:_BIOS_and_ECP|both BIOS and ECP firmware boot-CDs]] ready, as needed, and use them in the [[#Proper_Order|proper order]].

Once the bootable image, FILENAME.IMG, is extracted from the .exe, it can be booted directly through GRUB without the need of burning a CD, using the [http://syslinux.zytor.com/ SYSLINUX] image-loader '''[http://syslinux.zytor.com/memdisk.php memdisk]'''.

Locate the '''memdisk''' file from the syslinux package. You can search for it with '''find''':

{{cmdroot|find /usr -name memdisk}} #or just use "dlocate memdisk" or "locate memdisk" if these programs are installed

If {{path|/usr/.../memdisk}} is not present, syslinux is not installed. You will need to install it to boot a .IMG from GRUB.

Copy both the '''FILENAME.IMG''' and '''memdisk''' files into {{path|/boot}} directory. For example:

{{cmdroot|cp ./FILENAME.IMG /usr/share/syslinux/memdisk /boot/}}

Open {{path|/boot/grub/menu.lst}} in your favourite editor. '''Copy''' the active section into a '''new section''', and edit the new section:
{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2"
! Parameter
! Instructions
! Example
|-
| ''title'' || Pick a name for the new section. This will show up in the GRUB boot menu. || <tt>title IBM ECP Update</tt>
|-
| ''root'' || Do not change. This is the partition containing the {{path|/boot}} directory || <tt>root (hd0,0)</tt>
|-
| ''kernel'' || '''/boot/memdisk''' will allow you to boot an image file. || <tt>kernel /boot/memdisk</tt>
|-
| ''initrd'' || This is the name of the firmware-updater image file, e.g., 1IUJ13US.IMG || <tt>initrd /boot/1IUJ13US.IMG</tt>
|}

Do '''not''' modify the original section in {{path|/boot/grub/menu.lst}}, or you might not be able to boot back to the operating system.

If you have [[#Two_Firmwares:_BIOS_and_ECP|two firmware updates to do]], you will need a section for each firmware's FILENAME.IMG in {{path|/boot/grub/menu.lst}}.

{{NOTE|If both BIOS and ECP are to be updated, be sure to update them in the [[#Proper_Order|proper order]].}}

{{WARN|By following any of the instructions here you are accepting the '''very real risk''' of turning your ThinkPad into a big expensive paper weight, as a firmware update gone wrong can create unfix-able problems. '''Proceed at your own risk!'''}}

Reboot your computer, entering the GRUB menu and selecting ''IBM BIOS Update'', or whatever you named the new section in {{path|/boot/grub/menu.lst}}.

==== GRUB2 ====
With grub2, one would ''append'' the following to ''/boot/grub/grub.cfg'' :
menuentry "My BIOS Upgrade" {
set root=(hd0,0) #should match the others in your grub.cfg
linux16 /boot/memdisk
initrd16 /boot/1WUJ25US.IMG #or whatever yours is
}

==== GRUB2 Boot CD Image ====
Download the bootable iso file from the Lenovo Website. Copy the file 'memdisk' from the syslinux package to /boot. Also create a symlink, so you do not have to change the grub configuration for each bios upgrade:
<pre>
sudo su -
cd /boot
cp /home/youruser/Downloads/6uuj12uc.iso .
cp /usr/share/syslinux/memdisk .
ln -s 6uuj12uc.iso biosupgrade.iso
</pre>
Now create the boot entry:
<pre>
cat >> /etc/grub.d/40_custom <<EOF
menuentry "Lenovo BIOS Upgrade" {
set root=(hd0,1) # <-- check for correct numbering
linux16 /boot/memdisk iso
initrd16 /boot/biosupgrade.iso
}
EOF
update-grub
</pre>
Reboot an Select "Lenovo BIOS Upgrade".

For the next Bios Upgrade you'll just need to copy the new iso file to /boot and adjust the symlink.

=== Booting from a USB Flash drive ===

==== Updating the BIOS in MS-DOS mode ====
(This process works for most Thinkpad models that has Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7 OS)

1. Using HP USB Boot Utility, [http://blogs.oreilly.com/digitalmedia/2004/10/utility-to-make-usb-flash-driv.html create a bootable USB flash drive [http://www.bay-wolf.com/utility/usbkey/win98boot.zip DOS using Windows 98 Boot Disk Floppy Image].

2. Extract the (*.ima) from the ISO BIOS image (e.g. [http://www.rarsoft.com WinRAR] will do this).

3. Using a tool that can open .IMA files (such as [http://www.winimage.com/ WinImage]), extract all files to a temporary folder.

4. Run the HP tool, select the USB device, I used FAT32, create a DOS bootable disk and point at the win98boot folder - then "Start". Warning: this '''formats''' the USB flash drive and all data will be erased!

5. Once complete (you could test if it boots at this point), copy the extracted BIOS files from the temporary folder you created to the USB flash drive.

6. Boot from USB flash drive by pressing F11 within the BIOS boot logo. At the DOS command prompt, type "updflsh" and then follow the prompts by pressing "Y" or Enter. Make sure that you have a fully charged battery pack and the AC Adapter is firmly plugged before proceeding with the BIOS update.
'''DO NOT Power off the laptop or unplug the USB flash drive while the update is in progress or else update will fail and your computer will be unable to boot and system board may need to be serviced.'''

This process takes around 1-2 minutes. A long beep followed by a short beep will notify you that the update is complete and the system will automatically power off.

7. Power on the laptop then enter the BIOS setup by pressing F1 and Load BIOS defaults.

==== Using grub4dos (also for Linux) ====

[http://grub4dos.sourceforge.net/wiki/ grub4dos] is a GNU GRUB fork with interesting features. One of them is the ability to boot ISO images directly off USB flash drives. Contrary to the name, GRUB for DOS works fine on Linux. Follow these steps:
* Download the latest grub4dos package at http://download.gna.org/grub4dos/ (I needed 0.4.4 for my USB2 drive - 0.4.3 did not work.)
* Unpack
* Insert your FAT-32 formatted pendrive
* Run <code>sudo ./bootlace.com /dev/sdX</code>, where /dev/sdX is the device name assigned to your pendrive (use <code>sudo fdisk -l</code> to figure this out). Be very careful to get the device correct or else you could overwrite your hard drive! This creates grub4dos boot sector in MBR of the flash drive.
* Copy the files <code>grldr</code> and <code>menu.lst</code> to the root directory of your pendrive.
* Convert the ThinkPad .IMG file to a .ISO file using <code>genisoimage -b 1yuj18us.img -c boot.catalog -o 1yuj18us.iso 1yuj18us.img</code>
* Copy the ISO image to the root directory of your pendrive (e.g. <code>1yuj18us.iso</code>).
* Edit <code>menu.lst</code> on the pendrive and include the following section (of course putting the appropriate ISO image name):
<pre>
title thinkpad-bios
map (hd0,0)/1yuj18us.iso (hd32)
map --hook
chainloader (hd32)
boot
</pre>
* Reboot and press F12 to select booting from USB.
* If all went well, you should be able to boot the Thinkpad's ISO image and flash the BIOS. I tested it successfully on T400. [[User:Wanted|Wanted]] 20:23, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

=== Booting from a Floppy ===
{{WARN|Using a floppy disk '''is NOT recommended'''.}}

This is how IBM/Lenovo intended it. Use their .exe files to create a bootable floppy with the flash update on it. Boot from the floppy and there you go.

So, why is it not recommended?
# If something goes wrong, your ThinkPad may be permanently damaged
# Floppy disk drives are not reliable
# Floppy disks are not reliable
# It only works with /dev/fd0, meaning it won't work with a USB floppy

So, even though Lenovo is now offering "Linux diskette" updaters, that will create a bootable floppy under Linux, using a floppy is still not recommended. Besides, many people don't even ''have'' a floppy drive on their ThinkPad.

If you really want to do it with a floppy, some tips:
* Use a clean (in the physical sense) floppy drive
* Use new floppies
* Test floppies for errors before starting update process
* Have multiple copies of the update disks ready--if one should fail, replace it with a copy
* Should DOS complain of a read error, '''only''' respond wth "Retry"

{{NOTE|Should the system encounter a disk read error during the flash process, and you select "Abort", your system could be permanently damaged.}}

==== Using UNetbootin ====

Unetbootin 422 worked with the image files unpacked with cabextract on my x31.

{{HELP|How exactly did you do this? It failed for me. Does it work only with .IMG files that are converted to .ISO files, or can .ISO files provided by Lenovo also work (how?)}}

=== Booting from a Network Boot Image ===
BIOS, ECP, CD/DVD and Harddisk firmware disks can be booted over the network with [http://syslinux.zytor.com/pxe.php PXELINX] as part of the [http://syslinux.zytor.com/ SYSLINUX] package. This requires that you have a DHCP and tftp server configured and setup properly on your network, and is probably not for the faint of heart.

Make sure the firmware bootdisk is in linux 'dd' format, as the self-extracting .exe disks from the IBM website cannot be booted directly as such.

This worked on the {{R31}}, {{X22}}, {{T21}}, {{T30}} and {{T41p}} with various firmware updates. On the {{X22}}, it worked with ECP 1.30 but '''not''' with BIOS 1.32

=After updating=
Lenovo recommends reseting your BIOS settings to their factory defaults after a firmware update.

Also, please consider updating the [[List of DMI IDs]] after updating your BIOS.

= Special Cases =
* In one case, see ([[APM setup on a type 2379 ThinkPad T40]]), it was not possible to upgrade the BIOS from Windows XP; a downgrade to Windows 98 was required to successfully run the BIOS upgrade app. The symptoms in this case were that, once the files had been extracted to the hard disk, and the machine was to reboot into the upgrade app, it would beep and hang just before reboot, requiring a power cycle. Once the power was cycled, it would simply reboot back into XP without performing any BIOS upgrade actions. So even if you have Windows, you may still need to use the info on this page.

== Updating Thinkpad X Series ==
The special update instructions for {{X_Series}} Thinkpads are quite long. You can find them at the page [[BIOS_Upgrade/X_Series]].

== Alternative BIOS: Middleton BIOS ==
Some Thinkpad models only support SATA1 in their BIOS even though the hardware is SATA2. This is a huge drawback for anyone wanting to use SSDs, because it is so much slower.

Also, it is not possible to install some wireless cards, because only certain models are whitelisted by IBM/Lenovo. The Middleton Bios removes this limitation as well.

Someone made these alternative BIOSes to enable SATA2 on the Thinkpad models that support this. See [http://forum.notebookreview.com/lenovo/459591-t61-x61-sata-ii-1-5-gb-s-cap-willing-pay-solution-8.html#post6501443 the 'notebook review' forum post] for download links and explanations ([http://www.ali.dj/sata-ii-support-for-lenovo-thinkpad-t61-x61-r61/ Alternative link]).

Note: If your BIOS-Update tool says that no update is needed, then simply downgrade the Bios first: On Lenovo's/IBM's download page, the old Bios files are listed at the very bottom of the page.

= Updating without battery or with dead battery =

This is a last-resort approach. Use this only if everything else fails.

The BIOS updater may refuse to update a BIOS without a battery, or if the battery charge is too low. In that case, extract the disk image with cabextract as per instructions above and dd it to an usb stick. (This will destroy the data on it, of course.) Acquire a pure DOS boot cd such as Windows 98 recovery CD and boot that.

Use F8 to abort the boot sequence of a windows 98 boot CD. If you need CD-ROM support, load CD-related things but say no to everything else. In particular, avoid loading himem.sys and doskey, as the presence of either program causes Phoenix bios flash tool phlash16.exe to abort.

Change to the volume where flash2.exe and other tools are installed, and execute "flash2.exe /u". This should bypass the battery check and perform the flashing. If that doesn't work, check if the update disk contains a tool called "phlash16.exe". This can be used directly to flash the image, and the invocation is typically "phlash16 /exit $01c80000.fl1".

This method won't work for the Thinkpad {{560X}} (and likely other older models). Since the 560X is a bit older, it won't be a big surprise if the battery is as dead as a dodo. Here's how to update the bios in this case: download the spsdi833 bios update and create the update floppy. If you have trouble creating this disk, [http://www.mediafire.com/?36o5a8buvbjx07o download an archive with the files] and put them on a floppy. Don't worry about making it bootable. Also, you will need a DOS bootdisk. A Windows 98 bootdisk will be fine. Boot the system with the W98 bootdisk, do not load CD-rom support. Remove the W98 bootdisk and put the disk with the BIOS update in the drive. If you would now run UPDTFLSH you would get the battery message, so don't do that. If you open UPDTFLSH.exe with a text editor, you would find some lines about UPDTROM. UPDTROM is the actual flash tool, but you can't simply run it just like that. Run the following:

*updtrom /np /prep1
*updtrom /np /prep2
*updtrom /np /prep3
*updtrom /np /romcmp /romflsh /prep4
*updtrom /np /h8flsh /h8img /model

Yes, you need to run updtrom five times. Hold your breath and reboot the machine. It's done.

Perhaps not all these lines are necessary, but to be sure I ran them all, and this worked for me. So I suggest you do the same. This could probably be done from the harddisk as well, but I did not test that.

For the {{i1400}} follow instructions on [http://www.motherboardpoint.com/flash-ibm-thinkpad-bios-w-o-battery-t143180.html this] website. It works not only for 2611 but for 2621 types too.

* Mike Vincent<matchstc-putobvioushere.com>. Bios 1.16 from spsdin36.exe and then to the boot cd worked great for me. Thought I had bricked it three separate times using a "real" floppy! Each from different diskettes .The updater would start, give me the "going to take30 seconds" speech...and then access the HD for 10 minutes. Each time it would reboot fine. Did the cd as described above...worked great first time. Perhaps 10 year old seldom used floppy disc drives have some challenges?

BIOS Upgrade

2013-04-12T16:36:03Z

Pva: reorganized things a bit and added some general text to make this sheets of knowledge more readable...

{| width="100%"
|style="vertical-align:top;padding-right:20px;width:10px;white-space:nowrap;" | __TOC__
|style="vertical-align:top" |
This page is meant to describe ways to update the BIOS on a ThinkPad that only runs Linux for users that don't have ready access to Windows. If you have Windows on your ThinkPad you can just boot into it and follow instructions on the Lenovo website.

Updating the BIOS in Linux (with few exceptions) '''is not officially supported''' by Lenovo. However there are work arounds.

 
{{WARN|By following any of the instructions here you are accepting the '''very real risk''' of turning your ThinkPad into a big expensive paper weight, as a firmware update gone wrong can create unfix-able problems.

'''Proceed at your own risk!'''}}
|}

= Downloading New Firmware =
{{WARN|Flashing the wrong firmware for your hardware may cause permanent damage to your ThinkPad. It is up to you to confirm that the firmware you are using is correct.}}

A list of links to firmware downloads can be found at [[BIOS Upgrade Downloads]] for most Thinkpad models. You can also check the Lenovo Support website's [http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/default.page?#|ThinkPad driver matrix].

Lenovo/IBM provides firmware upgrades in a variety of packages:
* Diskette
* Non-diskette
* Linux diskette
* BIOS Utility
* Bootable CD

Not every type of package is available for every model.

The ''BIOS Utility'' and ''Bootable CD'' packages combine the BIOS and ECP firmwares. For the other packages, there is one for each firmware.
{| align="right" style="width:20em;"
| {{HELP|Can an image be extracted from a "Linux diskette" .exe file?}}
|}

The ''Linux diskette'' is just the ''Diskette'' package that runs on Linux instead of Windows/DOS. It's unknown if a boot image can be extracted from it.

You may need to try different packages to find the one from which you can extract a boot image.

== Two Firmwares: BIOS and ECP ==
{{WARN|Flashing incompatible firmwares, or flashing them in the wrong order, may cause permanent damage to your ThinkPad.}}

It is important to understand that Thinkpads from IBM have two separate firmwares: the BIOS, and the Embedded Controller Program (ECP).

A given BIOS version will require a certain version of the ECP. You must read the Lenovo website and/or .txt files to confirm which BIOS is compatible with which ECP, and '''the order in which to update them'''.

=== Update Order ===
The Lenovo/IBM documentation is sometimes unclear about the order in which these two firmwares should be updated. When in doubt (i.e. IBM didn't provide specific instructions for your model or a particular firmware update), '''update the ECP first, and then the BIOS'''. Also, make sure to do the two updates '''immediately one after the other'''.

The EC firmware is usually much better at backwards compatibility than the BIOS.

{{NOTE|Updaters for newer models take care of both BIOS and EC, and use automatically whatever sequence is needed, so you don't have to worry about it.}}

== Installed Firmware ==
You can check the current BIOS and ECP versions on your ThinkPad by using '''dmidecode'''. For example:

{{cmdroot|dmidecode -s bios-version}}

1RETDRWW (3.23 )

{{cmdroot|dmidecode -t 11}}

# dmidecode 2.9
SMBIOS 2.33 present.
Handle 0x0029, DMI type 11, 5 bytes
OEM Strings
String 1: IBM ThinkPad Embedded Controller -[1RHT71WW-3.04 ]-

Showing BIOS version 3.23 (1RETDRWW) and ECP version 3.04 (1RHT71WW).

===DMI IDs===
Please consider updating the [[List of DMI IDs]] before (and after) updating your BIOS.

= Updating Firmware =

Firmware flasher program can run on DOS (Lenovo PC DOS) or Windows but, unfortunately, not Linux. So ''in theory'' there are two basic steps to update the firmware (either the BIOS or the ECP) on a ThinkPad not running Windows:
# Get or create a bootable image with supported OS
# Boot that image and ran flasher

Recent Thinkpads have firmwares available as ''Bootable CD'' image, e.g., FILENAME.iso. If you have an optical drive there is no need to read this page any further: just download .iso image, burn it and boot to flash bios. If you are not that lucky, read on.

First you need to realize that there are different ways to boot DOS on PC (theoretically it is possible to boot Windows to ran flasher, but why?...): from internal hard drive, CD drive, USB Flash drive or, as the last resort, floppy drive. Easiest way is from internal hard drive, but you'd better avoid touching it until you don't want to loose files there. [[Booting from a Floppy]] is not recommended, so there are two best options to boot: CD drive or USB Flash drive.

Sparse instructions below provide you guidance how to do different parts of this pazzle but it's your duty to understand what to do and how to do that.

== Create a bootable image ==

In case Lenovo does not provide your laptop with ''Bootable CD'' it is possible to create one from *discket packages.

=== Extracting an update image ===
{{WARN|Though this process has been successfully tested on many versions of .exe files found on IBMs website, that doesn't mean it will work for all of them. '''Proceed at your own risk'''. Consult the testing tables farther down of this page to see other users' experience with your model Thinkpad.}}
{{NOTE|Lenovo has changed the packaging format. Old bios can be extracted with [http://freshmeat.net/projects/cabextract/ '''cabextract'''], new ones with [http://innoextract.constexpr.org/ '''innoextract'''].}}
Older .exe installers from Lenovo mostly appear to be just a wrapper license program around Windows .cab files (see [[How_to_change_the_BIOS_bootsplash_screen|BIOS-Bootsplash]]). If you install the Linux program [http://freshmeat.net/projects/cabextract/ '''cabextract'''] you can expand these .cab files directly. For example, if you downloaded {{path|1iuj13us.exe}} from Lenovo:

:{{cmduser|cabextract 1iuj13us.exe}}

Extracting cabinet: 1iuj13us.exe
extracting 1IUJ13US.IMG
extracting BIOSUPTP.EXE
extracting DOBOOT.EXE
extracting DOSBOOT.COM
extracting DOSBOOT.SYS
extracting DOSBOOT.VXD
extracting DOSBOOT2.COM
extracting ECTLUPTP.EXE
extracting EFLASHAS.SYS
extracting HDFWUPTP.EXE
extracting IBMTPI.XML
All done, no errors.

The file we want is '''FILENAME.IMG''', with "FILENAME" being the .exe. you downloaded. E.g., {{path|1IUJ13US.IMG}}.

If this does not work for the Non-diskette .exe, try it on the Diskette .exe. It's reported, for example, that the Non-diskette .exe for BIOS version 3.23 for the T41p was not extractable, but the Diskette .exe worked perfectly, with {{cmduser|cabextract}} delivering a .IMG file.

==== If cabeextract/innoextract fails ====

Diskette .exe for some older models can't be extracted using cabextract. For example for the latest BIOS of 390E one gets
spsdilc9.exe: no valid cabinets found
Since such .exe will only extract the files to a floppy, there seems to be no way to extract them using Linux. The situation is actually even more complicated, as neither Vista nor Windows 7 allow these .exe to access the floppy drive directly. Neither DosBox nor Wine were able to "fool" the programm using virtual floppies. A solution that works is to use Windows XP (works in VirtualBox too) together with [http://sourceforge.net/projects/vfd/ Virtual Floppy Drive]. Rund vfdwin.exe, go to the Driver tab and hit Install and Start. Then go to the Driver0 tab, click on Change and select A:. Finally, click on Open/Create, and click Create. This should give you a virtual floppy drive the .exe file will extract files to.

==== Testing the Image ====

You can test that FILENAME.IMG is really a floppy image by running:

{{cmdroot|mkdir /tmp/mntfloppy}}

{{cmdroot|mount -o loop FILENAME.IMG /tmp/mntfloppy}}

If a '''ls''' command on the image returns what looks like a DOS floppy, and no read errors were displayed, you have a pretty good chance that the image is usable. For example:

{{cmdroot|ls /tmp/mntfloppy}}
$0195000.FL1 069580.PAT 06d2.HSH IBMDOS.COM TPCHKS.EXE
0691.HSH 06D0.PAT 06d6.HSH LOGO.BAT UPDTFLSH.EXE
0691.PAT 06D1.PAT 06d8.HSH LOGO.SCR UPDTMN.EXE
0694.HSH 06D2.PAT CHKBMP.EXE PHLASH16.EXE USERINT.EXE
0694.PAT 06D6.PAT COMMAND.COM PREPARE.EXE UTILINFO.EXE
0695.HSH 06D8.PAT CONFIG.SYS PROD.dat lcreflsh.bat
0695.PAT 06d0.HSH FLASH2.EXE QKFLASH.EXE
069580.HSH 06d1.HSH IBMBIO.COM README.TXT

Unmount the image after you are done testing:

{{cmdroot|umount /tmp/mntfloppy}}

== Booting from update image ==
Now that you have a bootable image for the correct update for you hardware, you need to do is boot from that image to install the update.

There are different ways to do that:
* [[#Booting from a CD|Boot from a CD]]
* [[#Booting_using_GRUB|Boot image using bootloader (e.g. GRUB)]]
* [[#Booting_from_a_USB_Flash_drive|Boot from a USB Flash drive]]
* [[#Booting_from_a_floppy|Boot from a floppy]]

=== Booting from a CD ===
{| align="right" style="width:40em;"
|{{HINT|If there is a ''Bootable CD'' image available, e.g., FILENAME.iso, just download that, instead of mucking around with image files.}}
|}
If you are going to update the firmware by booting from a CD, you need to turn FILENAME.IMG that you extracted above into an .iso file.

The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Torito_%28CD-ROM_standard%29 El Torito Bootable CD Specification] is a wonderful thing. Thanks to it, a bootable CD can be made with a bootable floppy image in such as way that the CD believes that it is a 2.88 MB floppy drive. This allows you to replace a boot floppy by a boot CD in nearly all situations.

It is very easy to create such a bootable CD ISO image in Linux using the '''mkisofs''' tool{{footnote|1}}. Run a command as follows:

{{cmdroot|genisoimage -b 1WUJ25US.IMG -c boot.catalog -o bootcd.iso 1WUJ25US.IMG}} #or older mkisofs

Where *.IMG is the name of the image file extracted above. This creates a CD with one file on it and marks that file as the boot image.

You can now burn the {{path|bootcd.iso}} to a CD in your favorite CD-burning program.
{{WARN|By following any of the instructions here you are accepting the '''very real risk''' of turning your ThinkPad into a big expensive paper weight, as a firmware update gone wrong can create unfix-able problems. '''Proceed at your own risk!'''}}

Boot from the CD to update your firmware. Remember to have [[BIOS_Upgrade#Two_Firmwares:_BIOS_and_ECP|both BIOS and ECP firmware boot-CDs]] ready, as needed, and use them in the [[#Proper_Order|proper order]].

=== Booting using GRUB ===
{|
| style="width:75%" | {{WARN|Many have warned '''not''' to use the SYSLINUX image-loader '''memdisk''' to boot firmware update images.}}
| style="font-size:80%" | {{HELP|Who are these "many"? Link to a discussion?}}
|}
Once the bootable image, FILENAME.IMG, is extracted from the .exe, it can be booted directly through GRUB without the need of burning a CD, using the [http://syslinux.zytor.com/ SYSLINUX] image-loader '''[http://syslinux.zytor.com/memdisk.php memdisk]'''.

Locate the '''memdisk''' file from the syslinux package. You can search for it with '''find''':

{{cmdroot|find /usr -name memdisk}} #or just use "dlocate memdisk" or "locate memdisk" if these programs are installed

If {{path|/usr/.../memdisk}} is not present, syslinux is not installed. You will need to install it to boot a .IMG from GRUB.

Copy both the '''FILENAME.IMG''' and '''memdisk''' files into {{path|/boot}} directory. For example:

{{cmdroot|cp ./FILENAME.IMG /usr/share/syslinux/memdisk /boot/}}

Open {{path|/boot/grub/menu.lst}} in your favourite editor. '''Copy''' the active section into a '''new section''', and edit the new section:
{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2"
! Parameter
! Instructions
! Example
|-
| ''title'' || Pick a name for the new section. This will show up in the GRUB boot menu. || <tt>title IBM ECP Update</tt>
|-
| ''root'' || Do not change. This is the partition containing the {{path|/boot}} directory || <tt>root (hd0,0)</tt>
|-
| ''kernel'' || '''/boot/memdisk''' will allow you to boot an image file. || <tt>kernel /boot/memdisk</tt>
|-
| ''initrd'' || This is the name of the firmware-updater image file, e.g., 1IUJ13US.IMG || <tt>initrd /boot/1IUJ13US.IMG</tt>
|}

Do '''not''' modify the original section in {{path|/boot/grub/menu.lst}}, or you might not be able to boot back to the operating system.

If you have [[#Two_Firmwares:_BIOS_and_ECP|two firmware updates to do]], you will need a section for each firmware's FILENAME.IMG in {{path|/boot/grub/menu.lst}}.

{{NOTE|If both BIOS and ECP are to be updated, be sure to update them in the [[#Proper_Order|proper order]].}}

{{WARN|By following any of the instructions here you are accepting the '''very real risk''' of turning your ThinkPad into a big expensive paper weight, as a firmware update gone wrong can create unfix-able problems. '''Proceed at your own risk!'''}}

Reboot your computer, entering the GRUB menu and selecting ''IBM BIOS Update'', or whatever you named the new section in {{path|/boot/grub/menu.lst}}.

==== GRUB2 ====
With grub2, one would ''append'' the following to ''/boot/grub/grub.cfg'' :
menuentry "My BIOS Upgrade" {
set root=(hd0,0) #should match the others in your grub.cfg
linux16 /boot/memdisk
initrd16 /boot/1WUJ25US.IMG #or whatever yours is
}

==== GRUB2 Boot CD Image ====
Download the bootable iso file from the Lenovo Website. Copy the file 'memdisk' from the syslinux package to /boot. Also create a symlink, so you do not have to change the grub configuration for each bios upgrade:
<pre>
sudo su -
cd /boot
cp /home/youruser/Downloads/6uuj12uc.iso .
cp /usr/share/syslinux/memdisk .
ln -s 6uuj12uc.iso biosupgrade.iso
</pre>
Now create the boot entry:
<pre>
cat >> /etc/grub.d/40_custom <<EOF
menuentry "Lenovo BIOS Upgrade" {
set root=(hd0,1) # <-- check for correct numbering
linux16 /boot/memdisk iso
initrd16 /boot/biosupgrade.iso
}
EOF
update-grub
</pre>
Reboot an Select "Lenovo BIOS Upgrade".

For the next Bios Upgrade you'll just need to copy the new iso file to /boot and adjust the symlink.

=== Booting from a USB Flash drive ===

==== Updating the BIOS in MS-DOS mode ====
(This process works for most Thinkpad models that has Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7 OS)

1. Using HP USB Boot Utility, [http://blogs.oreilly.com/digitalmedia/2004/10/utility-to-make-usb-flash-driv.html create a bootable USB flash drive [http://www.bay-wolf.com/utility/usbkey/win98boot.zip DOS using Windows 98 Boot Disk Floppy Image].

2. Extract the (*.ima) from the ISO BIOS image (e.g. [http://www.rarsoft.com WinRAR] will do this).

3. Using a tool that can open .IMA files (such as [http://www.winimage.com/ WinImage]), extract all files to a temporary folder.

4. Run the HP tool, select the USB device, I used FAT32, create a DOS bootable disk and point at the win98boot folder - then "Start". Warning: this '''formats''' the USB flash drive and all data will be erased!

5. Once complete (you could test if it boots at this point), copy the extracted BIOS files from the temporary folder you created to the USB flash drive.

6. Boot from USB flash drive by pressing F11 within the BIOS boot logo. At the DOS command prompt, type "updflsh" and then follow the prompts by pressing "Y" or Enter. Make sure that you have a fully charged battery pack and the AC Adapter is firmly plugged before proceeding with the BIOS update.
'''DO NOT Power off the laptop or unplug the USB flash drive while the update is in progress or else update will fail and your computer will be unable to boot and system board may need to be serviced.'''

This process takes around 1-2 minutes. A long beep followed by a short beep will notify you that the update is complete and the system will automatically power off.

7. Power on the laptop then enter the BIOS setup by pressing F1 and Load BIOS defaults.

==== Using grub4dos (also for Linux) ====

[http://grub4dos.sourceforge.net/wiki/ grub4dos] is a GNU GRUB fork with interesting features. One of them is the ability to boot ISO images directly off USB flash drives. Contrary to the name, GRUB for DOS works fine on Linux. Follow these steps:
* Download the latest grub4dos package at http://download.gna.org/grub4dos/ (I needed 0.4.4 for my USB2 drive - 0.4.3 did not work.)
* Unpack
* Insert your FAT-32 formatted pendrive
* Run <code>sudo ./bootlace.com /dev/sdX</code>, where /dev/sdX is the device name assigned to your pendrive (use <code>sudo fdisk -l</code> to figure this out). Be very careful to get the device correct or else you could overwrite your hard drive! This creates grub4dos boot sector in MBR of the flash drive.
* Copy the files <code>grldr</code> and <code>menu.lst</code> to the root directory of your pendrive.
* Convert the ThinkPad .IMG file to a .ISO file using <code>genisoimage -b 1yuj18us.img -c boot.catalog -o 1yuj18us.iso 1yuj18us.img</code>
* Copy the ISO image to the root directory of your pendrive (e.g. <code>1yuj18us.iso</code>).
* Edit <code>menu.lst</code> on the pendrive and include the following section (of course putting the appropriate ISO image name):
<pre>
title thinkpad-bios
map (hd0,0)/1yuj18us.iso (hd32)
map --hook
chainloader (hd32)
boot
</pre>
* Reboot and press F12 to select booting from USB.
* If all went well, you should be able to boot the Thinkpad's ISO image and flash the BIOS. I tested it successfully on T400. [[User:Wanted|Wanted]] 20:23, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

=== Booting from a Floppy ===
{{WARN|Using a floppy disk '''is NOT recommended'''.}}

This is how IBM/Lenovo intended it. Use their .exe files to create a bootable floppy with the flash update on it. Boot from the floppy and there you go.

So, why is it not recommended?
# If something goes wrong, your ThinkPad may be permanently damaged
# Floppy disk drives are not reliable
# Floppy disks are not reliable
# It only works with /dev/fd0, meaning it won't work with a USB floppy

So, even though Lenovo is now offering "Linux diskette" updaters, that will create a bootable floppy under Linux, using a floppy is still not recommended. Besides, many people don't even ''have'' a floppy drive on their ThinkPad.

If you really want to do it with a floppy, some tips:
* Use a clean (in the physical sense) floppy drive
* Use new floppies
* Test floppies for errors before starting update process
* Have multiple copies of the update disks ready--if one should fail, replace it with a copy
* Should DOS complain of a read error, '''only''' respond wth "Retry"

{{NOTE|Should the system encounter a disk read error during the flash process, and you select "Abort", your system could be permanently damaged.}}

==== Using UNetbootin ====

Unetbootin 422 worked with the image files unpacked with cabextract on my x31.

{{HELP|How exactly did you do this? It failed for me. Does it work only with .IMG files that are converted to .ISO files, or can .ISO files provided by Lenovo also work (how?)}}

=== Booting from a Network Boot Image ===
BIOS, ECP, CD/DVD and Harddisk firmware disks can be booted over the network with [http://syslinux.zytor.com/pxe.php PXELINX] as part of the [http://syslinux.zytor.com/ SYSLINUX] package. This requires that you have a DHCP and tftp server configured and setup properly on your network, and is probably not for the faint of heart.

Make sure the firmware bootdisk is in linux 'dd' format, as the self-extracting .exe disks from the IBM website cannot be booted directly as such.

This worked on the {{R31}}, {{X22}}, {{T21}}, {{T30}} and {{T41p}} with various firmware updates. On the {{X22}}, it worked with ECP 1.30 but '''not''' with BIOS 1.32

=After updating=
Lenovo recommends reseting your BIOS settings to their factory defaults after a firmware update.

Also, please consider updating the [[List of DMI IDs]] after updating your BIOS.

= Special Cases =
* In one case, see ([[APM setup on a type 2379 ThinkPad T40]]), it was not possible to upgrade the BIOS from Windows XP; a downgrade to Windows 98 was required to successfully run the BIOS upgrade app. The symptoms in this case were that, once the files had been extracted to the hard disk, and the machine was to reboot into the upgrade app, it would beep and hang just before reboot, requiring a power cycle. Once the power was cycled, it would simply reboot back into XP without performing any BIOS upgrade actions. So even if you have Windows, you may still need to use the info on this page.

== Updating Thinkpad X Series ==
The special update instructions for {{X_Series}} Thinkpads are quite long. You can find them at the page [[BIOS_Upgrade/X_Series]].

== Alternative BIOS: Middleton BIOS ==
Some Thinkpad models only support SATA1 in their BIOS even though the hardware is SATA2. This is a huge drawback for anyone wanting to use SSDs, because it is so much slower.

Also, it is not possible to install some wireless cards, because only certain models are whitelisted by IBM/Lenovo. The Middleton Bios removes this limitation as well.

Someone made these alternative BIOSes to enable SATA2 on the Thinkpad models that support this. See [http://forum.notebookreview.com/lenovo/459591-t61-x61-sata-ii-1-5-gb-s-cap-willing-pay-solution-8.html#post6501443 the 'notebook review' forum post] for download links and explanations ([http://www.ali.dj/sata-ii-support-for-lenovo-thinkpad-t61-x61-r61/ Alternative link]).

Note: If your BIOS-Update tool says that no update is needed, then simply downgrade the Bios first: On Lenovo's/IBM's download page, the old Bios files are listed at the very bottom of the page.

= Updating without battery or with dead battery =

This is a last-resort approach. Use this only if everything else fails.

The BIOS updater may refuse to update a BIOS without a battery, or if the battery charge is too low. In that case, extract the disk image with cabextract as per instructions above and dd it to an usb stick. (This will destroy the data on it, of course.) Acquire a pure DOS boot cd such as Windows 98 recovery CD and boot that.

Use F8 to abort the boot sequence of a windows 98 boot CD. If you need CD-ROM support, load CD-related things but say no to everything else. In particular, avoid loading himem.sys and doskey, as the presence of either program causes Phoenix bios flash tool phlash16.exe to abort.

Change to the volume where flash2.exe and other tools are installed, and execute "flash2.exe /u". This should bypass the battery check and perform the flashing. If that doesn't work, check if the update disk contains a tool called "phlash16.exe". This can be used directly to flash the image, and the invocation is typically "phlash16 /exit $01c80000.fl1".

This method won't work for the Thinkpad {{560X}} (and likely other older models). Since the 560X is a bit older, it won't be a big surprise if the battery is as dead as a dodo. Here's how to update the bios in this case: download the spsdi833 bios update and create the update floppy. If you have trouble creating this disk, [http://www.mediafire.com/?36o5a8buvbjx07o download an archive with the files] and put them on a floppy. Don't worry about making it bootable. Also, you will need a DOS bootdisk. A Windows 98 bootdisk will be fine. Boot the system with the W98 bootdisk, do not load CD-rom support. Remove the W98 bootdisk and put the disk with the BIOS update in the drive. If you would now run UPDTFLSH you would get the battery message, so don't do that. If you open UPDTFLSH.exe with a text editor, you would find some lines about UPDTROM. UPDTROM is the actual flash tool, but you can't simply run it just like that. Run the following:

*updtrom /np /prep1
*updtrom /np /prep2
*updtrom /np /prep3
*updtrom /np /romcmp /romflsh /prep4
*updtrom /np /h8flsh /h8img /model

Yes, you need to run updtrom five times. Hold your breath and reboot the machine. It's done.

Perhaps not all these lines are necessary, but to be sure I ran them all, and this worked for me. So I suggest you do the same. This could probably be done from the harddisk as well, but I did not test that.

For the {{i1400}} follow instructions on [http://www.motherboardpoint.com/flash-ibm-thinkpad-bios-w-o-battery-t143180.html this] website. It works not only for 2611 but for 2621 types too.
