Hi,
While trying to find something for this model all I have stumbled upon was a lot of drama concerning some individual called Oleh, who is apparently selling these mods outside of this forum, still! That's of course none of my business, but I've decided to post my own mod which was made possible based on the information from harbahabr.ru, mostly .. and from previous experience with Tiano UEFI on my Dell.
# Features include
As always, there's a Readme bundled with this mod, which tells you all the obvious things on how you must flash clean 8cuj20us (1.41) first to update the boot block and all that, and only then flash the custom firmware. An added bonus is that I have besides all the files, I have included a summary write-up in the mod_data directory with all the details on where the patches used here originated (links included) and how I came about patching this BIOS on my own. For the RAM speed unlock, I can't seem to get a proper disassembly of the SandyBridgePhx module from 1.41 on OSX, so you will have to rely on an objdump snippet taken from 1.39 instead .. yes the offsets do differ, but the premise is all the same.
# Software and files used for the mods
Intel BMP was used to pull configuration from OEM Lenovo 2089 Intel VBIOS into 2170 dummy, the config is is included in the archive as well - snm_2089.ssf. Part of this config is the port map and setup, specific to this laptop model, so never blindly re-use it on anything else.
Find it HERE, I have my attachment quota full on this forum :\
