[REQUEST] Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro (76CNxxWW) Whitelist Removal

[case]

Hi there. I've recently purchased a 7265NWG Wireless card for my trusty Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro (seemed more readily available than the 7260NWG) and of course got the "Unauthorized Wireless Card" error, since I wasn't aware of the whole Vendor whitelisting policy due to the FCC.

I've seen from other threads here that the BIOS for each user is somewhat unique due to the embedded Windows key or something, and how many people have to run a utility and post the output, so someone who knows what they're doing here can patch it on their behalf. Can someone still clarify if this is still the way to go, and if so post me links to the current tools to do this (and let me know if they'll work on Windows 10 Home)?

I'm on an old 76CN38WW BIOS. Should I first upgrade to the 76CN43WW? Or is it better to remain on an older version? (i.e. if this "Sleep Bug" that I've read about has been fixed in the newer version). Also do I need to do anything fancy like boot from a Linux live CD to run this hack to enable the advanced BIOS settings, or is that what the whole "sleep bug" was supposed to work around?

If there's anything I should take into account, such as how to restore if i brick my laptop updating the BIOS, would be good to know too.

Advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

Hi
first upgrade to the 76CN43WW

Same here, I've actually purchased 2 7260NGW Wifi cards from 2 separate vendors, one random on ebay and one from a vendor on Amazon who others had success from but both just result in the 'unauthorized card' message.  

I have bios version 76CN43WW on my Lenovo Yoga Pro 2.  I'm not sure what utility to use to make a bios dump and flash back.  Advice would be welcome so I can replace this crappy unreliable stock Wifi chip.

Thanks in Advance!

Hi,

Can you please send me the instructions to remove the whitelist from the Yoga 2 Pro? I installed an Intel Wireless AC 7260 card and my BIOS says that I have installed an unauthorized WiFi card.

Also, how do I do a BIOS dump?

Thanks!
