[Solved][REQUEST] Lenovo X230 wlan whitelist removal

[BDMaster]

I have tested the method without success.
I have replaced the hex chain by the one of my new card, and it seems that there is no modification after installing the mod bios.
I can't use the new card but I can use the original one ?!

Any idea where the process get stucked ?

FYI: I use g2uj18us and g2uj17us bios versions to upgrade and downgrade.

This Method not resolve problem definitively as It bases on Chngeing PCI / VEN
Definition for Whitelist WWan Card, so doing in this way You are saying to Bios
that card is good don't worry ! (It's first No Whitelist Method created by Yen MDL).

Thank you for the reply.

After investigation, the PCI / VEN chain is defined in both files : $01D3000_SLIC.FL2 & $01D3000_SLIC.FL1.

It seems that replacing the hex chain in only ***.FL2 is not sufficient.
But doing it in both files leads to a security checked failed when installing the mod. bios .
Any idea ?

Ok friend,
.FL1 = Bios File, .FL2 = EC File, so the file to use is .FL1 !!!
Bios Mod File cannot reflash normaly into Eeprom (may be is Capsulated or Signed)
look this guide of mine :

http://rghost.net/56900178

Then We are using the only mathos exsisting Intel FPT !
There are 2ways to reflash Bios Mod on Eeprom :

1. Recovery Mode
2. Intel FPT

so using this tool You will ge a result file and can see error type You got rewriting Bios into Eeprom :

Nad then if error 280 Its not possible to bypass so SPI PGM is solution, otherwise You can use FPT and Marco util Prr.exe !

What can I do with these results ?

[BDMaster]

on error 28 is possible use Svl7 tool prr.exe and see if byass the lock !
Use this tool from USB Dos Bootable, copy all files form It to USB root then copy the Bios Mod
too and rename as bio.bin and run flash.bat !

Hello!

I have a Thinkpad x230 (2324A98) with bios version 2.64.I was bored of using the pre-installed wifi card, so I have just bought an Intel 7260AC.

I have got the device id and modified the $01D3000.FL2 file, replaced with the existing 2200BGN.Then I used WINUPTP to flash the BIOS and it succeeded.But when i install the new wifi card into the mini-pcie slot,error message is still showed.

i tried to boot into DOS and dumped the BIOS image with fpt.i extracted the image and found that the id was not modified at all.

i also tried the $01D3000.FL1 file,it has a bit more whitelists.but it said SecureFlash error when flashing.

i have tried the bios version between 2.63 and 2.64, too.but they neither works.

How to deal?
could you please send me an e-mail at cruselee1@live.cn ?
Thanks.
