Bios Mods -The Best BIOS Update and Modification Source

Hello, I really hard trying the last few Days, removing the Whitelist from my Bios

Manufactor: Lenovo
Modell: S230U "Twist"
UEFI Bios Rev. 1.56 (GDET96WW)Link to Update Tool gduj10us.exe

RW Everything Report: http://ul.to/dst1vi63

A Intel 2300 is in it and i would to replace it to a Intel Ultimate 6300 abgn.

The Twist is Hardware Based on the Edge Family. I Can´t Say if the Bios is RSA Signed or PHoenix SCT.

I Finally Have a Modded Bios here. AndysPhoenixtool 2.14 says SUCCESS to me.
But i don´t really think that i made it on the right way.
I used Module Method, and didn´t ticked or unticked anything.


I lookin only on time in my Bios since i have the Twist, so there should be no Problem with the "Half Bricked if i go in there" Problem.

Anyway I would be really Thankfull, if someone could take a look with his trained eyes on my Bios. I would Donate 10 € for your help.
Greetings from Germany

If it seems Impossible to do this Work, a little Feedback where a great Thing to me.

I don´t find anything Crawling the Web for Weeks now.
In one Thread in Digital Life Forum a Member makes the Experience that the Bios File was RSA Signed. (Seams related to the Modelnumber it´s a Russian Model)

On the other side... Much People say the Edge Series are Hardware based the same. If i search the web to the Keywords "Edge Whitelist removal" i got few Results that makes me Hope to find a Solution.


I still would be grateful vor any Kind of Feedback

Oh Thanks for your Feedback, really.

That is the way i got the rom file last week too.

And what´s the Favorite way to do this?

I Choose andysptool to extract the Bios and allow user to change files.
Then i applied the phnxpatch and finished andysptool with a success message.
i don´t ticked no slic My Modded Bios

Question: What do you want? Slic 2.1 or RW removed?
Please, upload bios backup to mediafire (box, sendspace ...)

Sorry, i will use a centrino ultimate 6300 abgn
ID 8086/422B Subsys 8086/1101
instead of a Centrino wireless n 2230
ID 8086/0888 Subsys 8086/4262

OK, First i was flashing the Original Bios back. Cause my modded Bios reach no Result.
(only 5 beeps /pause /4 beeps/ then starting up Windows)

Outgoing from a Stock Status now, i´ve tried flashing your bios from dos prompt
(USB STICK) first flash.bat, then flash2.bat

Both Flash.bat´s ending with this screen:
[attachment=5443]

For shure any Security Features in UEFI are set to disabled. the last two times i flashed from Win8 too.
any Idea??
