Lenovo X230, BIOS version 2.71 dated 13-Mar-2018 

Attached is a ZIP file, I have included dumps of both SPI flash chips (taken with a generic CH341-based thing)

Thank you in advance.

Hi
Your bios is rewrite protected
Bios mod can be flashed using SPI-programmer+SOIC8 clip only

Hello,

I just bought my x230 to be my secondary PC, but I would like to play some games on it using my homemade eGPU adapter, which is working great, but there is 16GB ram issue present. Could you make some mods to my bios dump?

- Enable advanced menu - if replacing existing BIOS menu tab is necessary, maybe removing "Restart" tab is okay, because saving and restoring settings can be done using F9 and F10 key?
- Remove wifi/wwan whitelists
- Remove battery whitelist
- Fix 16 GB/eGPU issue

Best regards,
Norbert

Hi,

I'd like to remove two whitelists, the battery and the wifi/bt from my x230, and also add the advanced menu


Manufacturer: Lenovo

Model: x230 i7-3520m

Current Bios Info:

UEFI BIOS VERSION: G2ETBOWW (2.70)

EMBEDDED CONTROLLER VERSION: G2HT35WW (1.14)

Bios Type: UEFI

Official BIOS download link - https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/downloads/ds029187



I got the bios dump via my raspberry pi 


Also, am I supposed to be on a specific bios version or anything?


I'd like to upgrade wifi/bt card to https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HRFS1GQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1AzureWave AW-CE123H / 802.11ac/n/b/g + Bluetooth 4.0 / Half-Size PCI-Express MiniCard


And after I get rid of this whitelist, which section should I post to get rid of the battery whitelist/advanced menu, or do they all happen here?


Thanks!

Here is my dump : https://drive.google.com/open?id=15fC0TwcxQqgZ3zcEL_jNic4Zxztt9Efa

After I get the modified verison, I can just flash it via flashrom, ya?
