Hey everyone. I recently bricked my NP300E5C-A01UB trying to boot into Ubuntu with UEFI enabled. After locating the correct chip on the motherboard, my friend connected his bus pirate to it and we were able to dump the firmware and go through it. I have posted these logs and the dump of the borked firmware to GitHub https://github.com/rimunroe/SamsungUEFI. We recovered the kernel panic log from the dump, and I have posted it as well.
On a side note: if anyone can provide us with a copy of the original (or any somewhat working) firmware for the NP300E5C-A01UB, I would be most appreciative. Samsung doesn't provide firmware images directly on their website, and so far their support hasn't been very helpful. Let me know if anyone has any questions. ** Attachment added: "PANICLOG" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1040557/+attachment/3599179/+files/PANICLOG -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1040557 Title: UEFI boot live-usb bricks SAMSUNG 530U3C,np700z5c laptop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-cdimage/+bug/1040557/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
