Hi
Check your PM

Hello I have a lenovo X230. I would like to remove the whitelist and enable advanced options if possible. Attached are two different backups i've made. I have a hardware programmer for writing the new bios to my laptop. I wish to upgrade to a newer intel Wireless card. Bios is upgraded to the latest from lenovo's site. https://download.lenovo.com/pccbbs/mobiles/g2uj25us.exe

I attached 2 dumps I did through software. I will make a dump with my programmer later today and email to you.
I sent you the dumps I made via my SPI programmer.

Worked perfectly! Thank you so much.
Hey Guys!

Could someone remove the whitelist from the X230 BIOS of my colleague, too? I've dumped it with the CH341A programmer and SOIC clip.
His current BIOS version is G2ETA8WW 2.68 and the embedded Controller Version is G2HT35WW 1.14.

Thanks!

Dude, you´re really fast as lightning. I flashed the bios like the first one you modded for me and as expected it works fine. Much love  Heart  and a little donation!  Big Grin
hi, I need help with removing whitelist for thinkpad x230. I want to install a non-Lenovo Ericsson F5521gw WWAN module, but got stuck with 1802 error message. Would removing whitelist for wwan also remove whitelist for WLAN? I ask because I planned to change the stock wifi card with an AC card sometime in the future.

I attached extracted bios with SOIC clip and flashrom.
Thanks a lot for any help.

I guess being new here means I'm limited to 2MB upload. If it's alright I uploaded my bios here, http://rgho.st/8JvDTKfXb
