None of these similar questions on AskDifferent offered a working solution:Ĭopy Crucial SSD Firmware Update ISO to Bootable USB The EVO-plus-iso is not mountable but when written to stick with Unetbootin it shows an EFI folder and GRUB files, etc… Since this one does boot and scans the computer for eligible devices, I am a bit stuck here. The EVO-iso is mountable directly in macOS and just contains bzImage initrd isolinux >īoot.cat isolinux.bin isolinux.cfg ldlinux.c32 NVMe SSD-970 EVO Firmware ISO 2B2QEXE7 | 17.4 MB (doesn't work, needed).NVMe SSD-970 EVO Plus Firmware ISO 2B2QEXM7 | 28 MB (works, unneeded).
The firmware iso for a Samsung 970 EVO is just so much smaller than for a EVOplus: is the iso for my device incomplete/damaged? is latest version of Unetbootin acting up? assuming that DiskUtility from 10.12 and 10.14 can't properly format the sticks? All Laptops can boot from external drives (Thunderbolt & USB) and the boot manager updates without interaction once I plug those in. The sticks just aren't recognised on any Mac laptop as 'bootable' once the procedure outlined in the manual is finished. searching net and especially Ask Different for solutions.Neither a Windows PC, nor a Linux laptop can boot the sticks I prepared. Frustratingly, that indeed boots as intended, but can't update the device either. booting a fresh virtual machine on a Mac host with just the needed iso attached.writing to customer support (answer: "iso looks good, should work, please try again").using a different iso (not matching the target device) from the vendor site (works without any issues according to instructions, but can't update my device…).gparted and fdisk mkfs.vfat on a Linux machine.Windows on-board tools on a PC for re-formatting the sticks.different versions of DiskUtility (Sierra and Mojave).writing the iso file with dd directly to the stick (and in another round using Balena etcher and universal usb installer).partitioning the sticks to either MBR or GPT.erasing the sticks a few times with DiskUtility.The external USB-drive never shows up in the boot menu. What then doesn't work is booting a MacBook Pro 2015 from that stick. The instructions ( PDF) for a firmware update utility say to use Unetbootin on MacOS to write an iso-file to a FAT32 formatted (erased) USB stick. Goal is updating a NVMe SSD firmware on a Mac without optical drive via USB stick that should contain a minimal Linux, flasher and payload.
