Hi all,
Thanks for the great work in this thread.
I'm trying to upgrade my recently purchased MSO5240 with the auto-patcher per posts:
It shipped with:
- Firmware 00.01.03.00.3
- Hardware 01.01.000
- Build 2021-10-18
I'm having trouble getting the scripts to execute. The backup scripts finished far too quickly to be copying any data and I found no additional directories on the flash afterward. The auto patcher also fails with a "'patch.txt' not found" similar to post
2202. Is my problem with the flash formatting? I formatted with macOS diskutil with the default parameters.
edit: UPDATE
I resolved the issue, and the explanation is consistent with behavior indicated with post
2202.
The partition table
MUST be MBR. By default, in macOS, it's GUID. I suspect that's also the case in W11. All scripts executed successfully once I reformatted the drive:
sudo diskutil eraseDisk FAT32 USB MBRFormat /dev/diskX
Where X is the USB disk number.
