If you have the UEFI capsule available, follow the directions in README.md in this repository to update using it. If you run into problems with the flash, please file a bug.

Perhaps answering the question the reporter was asking: Lenovo are testing the LVFS with some firmware, but it's limited in scope and doesn't include ThinkPads yet. Fingers crossed.

I was trying to extract or generate a capsule from the normal BIOS update .exe/.iso and stumbled upon these strings.
Thanks for the clarification.

Assuming Lenovo is publishing BIOS updates to Windows Update for their Thinkpads, you might be able to find UEFI capsules on the WU catalog: https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com.

I can't say why, but I'm going to wait for Lenovo to issue updates specifically for fwupdate.

@superm1 This looks like it contains a Capsule for my device, thanks!

"You can't say why" because you don't know how to express it, or for legal reasons?

Both I guess :) Let me know if it works, but if you try use fwupd from master and turn on debugging. R

Ok :-) Shouldn't plain fwupdate be enough?

(Disclaimer - I have no knowledge of where the problems @hughsie is referring to are).
If you test directly from the CAB file you would be testing from fwupd (which would use libfwup from fwupdate to do the staging).
If you extract the CAB file and just grab the payload you can test directly from fwupdate (which also uses libfwup, just a different interface).
If I was going to take a guess from the comments in this thread the problems probably aren't in fwupd, but they're probably in the fwupdate EFI application with what Lenovo's BIOS expects.
So it would be best to use the "10" release (or master if you can swing it - there's extra debugging now) of fwupdate if there are some issues with capsule to have the highest liklihood of success and capability to debug if that's where the problems end up being.

The debug log looks fine, but the update has not been performed (debug log attached).
Can I be of any assistance in debugging this, or am I just annoying and should wait until the vendor provides support?
Also I will be at FOSDEM, so maybe this could help.

Nothing useful stands out in that log to me. It's basically saying the payload was handed off to the firmware (presumably properly?)
After you come back to the OS if you query the results from fwupdate (fwupdate --info or fwupdmgr get-results) that might give some hints that the firmware dropped in the ESRT about what happened.
If there's nothing useful there, it probably needs a debug BIOS from the vendor to find out what's going wrong.

Well that's notable that there are two ESRT entries. It looks like the second represents your system firmware but I'm not sure what the first one represented.
I suppose that could also cause some display issues with fwupd output. I haven't ran fwupd on something with two separate entries in ESRT. Does the # fwupdmgr get-devices output look normal to you? (that would be a separate problem)

Oh it came up as a device firmware not system. OK.
Does
