[REQUEST] Lenovo X220 (8DETxxWW) Whitelist Removal

[sovem]

Thanks solvem, it worked. I never reboot after the original BIOS update as that would mean I will have to open the laptop and take out the wireless card every time.

Cheers.

Thanks for feedback.

This is my very first request and I just want to let everyone know this is not a duplicate request of bgalakazam's post of 1-30-13. This is version 137-1.23 which was just issued by Lenovo on 2-6-13. This new version fixes an issue where the system might be discharged from the main battery after installation of slice battery. Can anyone please whitelist this bios so I can install the WWAN card? Thanks You.

I have a similar request for the same BIOS (http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/...uj23us.exe) except I'd like the Atheros AR5B97 wireless card to be white-listed. Here is more information on the card: http://wikidevi.com/wiki/Atheros_AR5B97.

Thanks for the help!

OK I did some investigation and found out the difference between 1.37-1.23 and 1.37-1.24 is only with the ECP upgrade. The solution is to upgrade your bios with 1.37-1.24 and the Bios will upgrade to 1.37 and the ECP will be upgraded to version 1.24. The whitelist is in the bios side and you can remove the whitelist by installing the modified version of the bios which is in post #5134 on page 522 provided by Serg008. I did this and can confirm that I have installed a Gobi 4000 MC7750 (FRU 0A36318) and all functions work correct in my Lenovo X220.

Hi. Is my X220 BIOS RSA Signed? Is it that I cannot use the BIOS function anymore after flashing modded BIOS??

Hi,

I installed "Lenovo ThinkPad x220_1.37-8DET67WW-8duj22us__WList-ONLY.zip" after 8duj23us.

However, a beep sound has come to sound 5 times at a start-up.

Can it fix?
