Bios Mods -The Best BIOS Update and Modification Source

I used Rufus to make a FreeDOS bootable USB, I select the USB as the boot device from the BIOS menu and once its gets to the DOS prompt I ran flash.bat.

Hi

I have same laptop Lenovo Thinkpad T440s and problem with new Huawei ME906E LTE/WWAN module. So I should either have whitelist WWAN module, have whitelist removed ("everything enabled") on BIOS or change ID for WWAN module to be accepted by BIOS.

So as you already might have modified BIOS for T440s I am also interested to have it.

Unfortunately I do not run Windows on this computer so backup tool would not work. But if course I can do DOS boot media for firmware update.

Linux dmidecode information:
 Version: GJET79WW (2.29 )
 Release Date: 09/03/2014
 Firmware Revision: 1.9
 Address: 0xE0000
 ROM Size: 16384 kB
 Runtime Size: 128 kB

I got this WWAN module cheaply so I would do donation via PayPal.

Best regards, Toblery

Helo ;-)

Unfortunately these tools did not work on DOS mode and as I mentioned I can not run Windows (live bootable Windows available?)
So I can not run backup tool. Is there any other way for doing this? Flashtool for Linux does not support laptops.

create DOS boot usb-stick, copy files, reboot from usb-stick run fpt -d bios_d.rom -bios

Hi
This didn't work. I got following message:
Error 201: [FPT.exe] cannot be run on the current platform. Please contact your vendor.

I used FreeDOS on USB and booted without any software/drivers.

I got a t440p, here are the results: https://www.sendspace.com/file/ld7dzl Could you take a look for whitelist removal? I saw the auto patches listed else where, but im not sure if they were the right ones.

The universal backup failed saying it couldnt identify the bios, but FPT_BACKUP_95 did manage to back it up. The resulting back64bios.bin is in the results folder.

Here You go :

Donate to me for my work and time . . . look into my Signature

Thanks for the bios! Unfortunately i get the Protected Range Registers error when flashing and it seems there is no way around it. Apparently, svl7 created a fix for it here http://forum.techinferno.com/lenovo-ibm/...#post39374, but its for the Y500 series. Ill be sure to donate though, [censored] lenovo for this lockdown....


I was also looking at modfying the lenovo bios update ISO with the modded bios to maybe get around hte issue, but i cant extract the dang img formatted to fat16 dos 3.0 http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products...s/DS037576
