[REQUEST] Lenovo Thinkpad T430s (G7ETxxWW) Whitelist Removal

[eilatuno]

it depends, sometimes we can mod the update directly, sometimes we need a backup...

so, it's possible to flash a WL UEFI BIOS on t430s without HW programmer?

Hi,

I do a hackintosh on my Thinkpad T430s, and I need to replace my current Wifi card to make Wifi works on MacOS. But my new Wifi card not in whitelist.

Here is my current the backup bios (Using NEW_BACKUP_FPTs.exe): T430s backup BIOS
Download link in Lenovo website: g7uj17us.exe
BIOS version: G7ETA3WW (2.63) (View in dxdiag tool)
Current PCI: PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_0085&SUBSYS_13118086&REV_34 (Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6205)

Thanks

P/S: I know that it needs a SPI Programmer to flash this BIOS, and I already have one

Error 280: Failed to disable write protection for the BIOS space!

Your Eeprom Chip is Write Protect like T430 and T530 so You can do this job
only using na HW SPI Programmer !

Hi BDMaster,

Thank you for warning me. I already read that thread, and also this too: REQUEST-Lenovo-IdeaPad-S405-Whitelist-Removal
I have ordered a CH341A programmer and a SOIC8 SOP8 test clip, and I think it should work.

Update: I have read an instruction for T430 by ucupsz, and I think it may work with my laptop

[BDMaster]

Let me know when You got your SPI PGM as You have to read the chips and make
a Full Dump Firmware (upload It for me) and then I will modify for You It !

did you get any further on this? I really want to upgrade my wifi card to an AC card.

"Update: I have read an instruction for T430 by ucupsz, and I think it may work with my laptop "

Do you have a link?

[BDMaster]

Link to what ?

Link to what ?

I aws referring to the "instructions" ucupsz has written...

I found a few threads but it goes beyond what I am capable of. 

I assume no one has made any headway in whitelisting AC cards?

So there are mods available.
I've searched this site but apparently I'm a complete idiot because I cannot find it anywhere?
