[Request] Lenovo V370 WiFi whitelist removal

[reukiodo]

Hi There,
I have a Lenovo V370 laptop. I would like to replace the existent wireless network adapter (intel centrino wireless-N1000) with an Intel Dual Band Wireless AC 7260. Or, ideeally, have the whitelist completely removed
Currently I get the "104 - unsupported wireless device detected system halted" error, when trying to boot with a different wireless card.

Computer Make: Model:
Lenovo V370

Bios: Pheonix
Bios Version : 42CN36WW

Thanks in advance, for any help!

I'd also like the whitelist removed, but my V370 seems to have a newer 42CN45WW BIOS. I've attached the WinFlash folder with my backup BIOS in it. I'd prefer not to flash to an older version. Can one of the gurus here modify the new BIOS and remove all the restrictions?

I can't. Every time I download it, Windows Defender deletes it saying it's a Trojan:Win32/Randas.A virus. I can't even get to the point of extracting the rar file...

Sorry for the long-delayed reply. I finally got one of the tools (BACKUP_Tools12.exe) to run on a fresh install of Windows 10 and got the results.rar attached. The Universal Bios Backup.exe tools only gave the error Can not identify the BIOS!

Hi
Your mod completed, read PM

I had flashed the mod and not had any time to mess with this computer (do not have kids) until recently when they went on a trip and now I can resume old projects (yay!). So after playing around with this laptop I started noticing some oddities, such as the trackpad no longer scrolling, and later the trackpad and keyboard just completely stop working in windows after a sleep/resume. However, rebooting into BIOS was perfectly fine, as was if I installed linux. So I tried flashing the 42CN45WW.ROM that I had backed up earlier and now it says I'm on 42CN36WW and even worse, the keyboard and trackpad are non functional in linux as well as windows. I can still using a USB keyboard/mouse to get around in the OS, but makes this useless as a laptop. I'm kind of lost on what to do now. I read somewhere that 'EC' was in charge of the keyboard and trackpad, could it be that the old 42CN36WW can't work with the EC? According to BIOS, my EC is 42EC28WW, though I honestly don't recall what it was prior to all of this experimentation.

First reflash original Lenovo bios 42CN45WW

That is what I tried, using the command 'winflash -sa' to launch the flash utility and selecting the 42CN45WW.ROM from the backup uploaded here. It seems to flash ok and when it reboots, still says it is on 42CN36WW in the BIOS menu screen.

I have to launch winflash with the -sa option or the flash will fail saying it will not flash an older version.
