Converted VDI virtual disk to raw image:.Reattached the virtual network adapter and downloaded the Firmware Update as well as the Intel Graphics Driver.Installed Windows (Selected 'I don't have a product key' and disconnected the virtual network adapter to be able to create a local account).Created a new Windows 10 VM in VirtualBox on a 14 GB VDI virtual disk.Thanks to all your answers, I finally was able to install the update: There are two threads over at the Lenovo forums regarding firmware updates of an older / another docking station, but neither of them with an accepted solution.

I also tried the ' Firmware Update Tool for Enterprise Deploy' and followed the instructions for ' Silent deployment in other environment' but ended up with the same error.

Leveraging the Windows VM's 'Recovery Media Creator' tool, I crafted an USB recovery drive, copied the firmware onto the USB drive and tried to run it, but unfortunately without success:.

I have not tried, but am 99.9999% sure that any approach based on WINE will not work.

Maybe it is somehow possible to pass-through the dock to this VM to flash the update?

Inside a VirtualBox VM I have a Windows running.

However, all tutorials I found on how to create a PE seem to be outdated.

Another option would be to create a Windows Preinstallation Environment (PE), flash it to an USB drive, boot it and then run the update.

Maybe I could create a Windows 10 USB recovery drive, boot it, fire up a shell and then install the update.

Is it possible to flash the firmware update onto the dock under Linux? Or does somebody know another way to update the dock's firmware? I got no laptop running Windows 7/8/10 and Lenovo does not provide this update via LVFS, but only as an. I need to update the firmware of a Thinkpad Ultra Docking Station to V3.3.1, which has been released last year.
