I'm having trouble getting the MBP EFI 2.3 update to install. I have read with past EFI updates that SSD's caused the problems that I am having.

It will start to update, reboots and then as soon as it turns on I get a BEEP. I then see the apple logo with a loading bar under it for a few seconds. It then turns off and repeats this 5 times. Finally it will bypass the EFI update and revert to how it was before. Software update says I still have to update it.

Is there anyway around this other than booting from a HDD installing the update, and then cloning my HDD data to my SSD?

Thanks.

seems like cloning is your only option:(
 
i had the same problem.I tried to update from battery.I pluged my macbook in and all are ok.
 
Does that BEEP indicate a problem of some sort?
I updated the EFI (while plugged in), it rebooted, made the BEEP noise, then the Apple logo appeared with a progress bar which was fairly slow at progressing.
When I got to the desktop the update had been installed anyway.. Just a bit worried about that beep sound?

Using Samsung 470, if it matters..

Mine did the same thing, both when I was having problems and after it installed correctly.

I assume that it is normal, I remember it from my last EFI update. Maybe someway of telling the user that it will not be going through a typical boot process?
