Finally, I updated the BIOS and installed Fedora 41 successfully.

Procedures:

  1. Consulted the laptop brand’s after-sales service online and got the information that the official website only provides the factory version BIOS. If I want the latest BIOS, I need to consult the local after-sales service store.
  2. Consulted the local after-sales service store and got the latest BIOS version, RMAMT4B0P0909.
  3. By default, the BIOS upgrade software tested and showed that RMAMT4B0P0A0A was newer than RMAMT4B0P0909…Start to google how to downgrade BIOS…
    I think the laptop brand tries to avoid users upgrading the BIOS by themselves, so they made the initial version use the largest number, 0A0A.
    The after-sales service staff was pretty sure that 0909 is the latest version.
  4. Studied how to use Process Monitor to find the BIOS update program extracted by the BIOS upgrade software. It will look like 7zS9F19.tmp or similar sounding, inside theWindows > Temp folder, but not in the User > username > AppData > Temp folder.
  5. Edited the platform.ini file in the [Bios_Version_Check] section. Changed Flag=1 to Flag=0 to remove the version check when upgrading the BIOS, then successfully upgraded the BIOS.
  6. Tried installing Fedora via Ventoy but got the error message on the screen:
    /ventoy/busybox/sh: can't access tty: job control turned off
  7. Created a new installation USB using Rufus and installed Fedora 41 successfully in normal mode (didn’t need to switch to basic graphics mode).
