Hi BDMaster,

i know your time is rare, but i tool a look at the module, and tried to patch it.
When making the new rom, i see in the log

** 79E0EDD7-9D1D-4F41-AE1A-F896169E5216_2231.ROM reintegrated successfully

Is this the same problem like in the other post?
I also attached my changed rom, maybe you'll find the time to check my work.
I have a good feeling this time

Hi,

what Rom did you flash?
Not that one from my post, or? this was just a module Sorry didn't say that explicit.
if you flashed it please revert the flashed EEPROM to it's original state (from the files you provided).

I can provide you a EEPROM ROM Image for testing purpose, but i don't know if it may work.
Ensure you can flash your original Rom back (Should be no problem, because you are using an external flasher).

The patch is for the 25L3206E Chip, the other chip may remain in the original state (if you flashed it, revert to original ROM).
If it won't work, you can flash your old ROM Data, so the computer should work normal again.

If I were you i would do following:
-Flash the original image (provided from you) back to the chip.
-Test the Laptop
->It should now work, without problems (except the whitelist )
-Now you can wait for BDMaster.
- Or try my provided ROM file from the link above.
->If you use my ROM file, test it and give please feedback

If you got problems, just write here.

Let me know

Hi Zabben,
yuor process is OK !
The only issue is the Patch as ow is going to be more difficult than before like
version 2.62 !
I replied a request on pm with Bios Mod !
I will check your Patch too !
Regards

[BDMaster]

@ johnrayxmas

It's very strange as It worked for many users, so try this one
confirmed working on version A1 (same Mod from Ai to A3) :

http://rghost.net/6TSq6wscZ

If You got yet issues I suggest to try different WiFi Card or flash an
older Bios version like 2.57 , 2.59, 2.61 I am sure It worked on !
So We will try on that Bios Dump again !

@ Zabben

Theses are modifies :

0C4E : 0F 84 9F 01 00 00 to 90 E9 9F 01 00 00 jz loc_DF3 to nop jmp loc_DF3
0CA2 : 75 16 to 75 00 jnz short loc_CBA to jnz $+2
0CB8 : 74 1B to EB 1B jz short loc_CD5 to jmp short loc_CD5

Let me know
Regards

thanks all your guys
Sorry , I don't know why x230i can't boot again.
I press power button , the power button light one second then shutdown.
No screen and no check or boot.
I set Solder Station to 320 ℃ for remove the MX25L3206E.
the first time I can boot twice , then my x230i just gone ...
I will go to help for some profesional support tomorrow,bless me...
