[REQUEST] Lenovo Thinkpad Edge E430 & E530 (H0ETxxWW) Whitelist Removal

[Dudu2002]

@dudu2002
Can you please PM me how to modify the E430 2.58 BIOS to remove the WLAN whitelist ?
also, can you direct me to a textbook or article or source to learn how to disassemble and modify bios images to remove other whitelists in general or enable advanced options.

Thank you,

I'll get you a dump and we'll see. 
This bios was 2.xx and was updated to 2.58. is it a signature or write protect hardware pin that can be grounded? .. 
Do you happen to know ?

Hi all,

I'm unable to find a bios download or any references to whitelist removal for my bios. The title says e430/e530 because I have an e530 but I think this bios version is used for both models. 

- Laptop model: Lenovo Thinkpad e530 (62724GU)

- Bios version: Lenovo H0ET72WW  (2.06), 10/22/2012

- Bios download link: Can't find via google

- RSA signature: I have no way of knowing just yet since I don't have the copy of my Bios.

Any help or links to how I can help myself would be appreciated. Thanks.

Great, seems I have some work to do! What do you mean by 'All mods is personal'?

Hello I need to remove the whitelist from my Lenovo Thinkpad E430 so that I can install this new wifi card. I plan on turning my laptop into a hackintosh, however, from my research I learned that the intel wifi card will not work. 

I tried searching the forums for already existing BIOS mods for this laptop but could not find any.
If I am missing any information or if there is something else I have to do please let me know.

Thank you for the help!
