[REQUEST] Lenovo Thinkpad X230(i) (G2ETxxWW) Whitelist Removal

[Da Vinci Code]

Each mod work is dangerous. Each user flash mod at himself risk. Some laptops can be recovered after bad flash, if Boot Block not damaged.
At another causes only HW SPI Programmer can do this job!
But, you can try flash mod without programmer.
We discovered that there is A Sleep Bug and previous versions not contain a protection.

Da Vinci,
I just uploaded my bios with your software

[Da Vinci Code]

I will prepare mod quickly!
You must compare your current bios version and last version at site.Find a one of oldest versions and flash it.
Downgrade to this version

To allow downgrade bios check this option in Bios Menu Setup.

So I have to flash my laptop with the oldest bios possible so that I could flash it back with the modified bios without it blocking the mod bios

[hhgeorges]

it says that the bios does not match the system, can't flash back

[Da Vinci Code]

Here is your bios download Page
http://support.lenovo.com/en/en/downloads/ds029187
Check downgrade option in Bios Setup.
When you downgraded, set your laptop to suspended mode and wake up it after few seconds.
Then run this tool as Admin and upload results

[Important] Fixed security vulnerability (LEN-2015-002 and other fixes). (Note) If the UEFI BIOS has been updated to version 2.65 or higher, it is no longer able to roll back to the version before 2.65 for security improvement.
So only HW SPI Programmer can do this job!
I just sent you mod with removed whitelist.You can flash it with SPI Programmer.

I think I have to re install windows because I use a drive from 220
that might be the problem
