Thank You Tito, Should i download any other software that is needed for flaching this bios (e.g. ph161700.EXE mentioned in the F.bat file?). I have burned the ISO image the same as i did many times (e.g. for linux boot CD, distro live CDs etc.) but unfortuantelly the CD doesn't boot, could You recommend any program i need to manually place in the boot.catalog to make this particular iso bootable? Regards, stolar
hi I know that topic is repeated but i have not found a solution for my problem. I have a new ThinkPad L530 2481-3PG and want to get a Ericsson F5521gw Mobile Broadband Minicard Composite Device in it running. After I had plugged in the device I can not boot anymore. The BIOS stops with : Unauthorized network card ..... I have already installed the latest BIOS Version. I dont know what else to do. Why it doesnt work? Can anybody help me please? Is there a mod BIOS somewhere? kind regards Christian
Unless you are comfortable with disassembling your laptop (including removing/reinstalling heat sinks to access motherboard) and programming SPI flash using external programmer (or even LPT port), you are out of luck - there is no pure software solution to the problem since the motherboard blocks direct write access to BIOS flash. With normal BIOS updates the BIOS updater hands over RSA-signed BIOS to a BIOS procedure that verifies the RSA signature and flashes the image. Since we don't have a private key used to sign BIOS image, we cannot use Lenovo flash procedure to flash modified BIOS. So without being able to use Lenovo updater and with direct BIOS access being blocked the only solution is to use external programmer.
I need help with T400s (6H BIOS). I searched the forum and found the appropriate download. I expanded the compressed file and ran "setmark". It runs am2dk pointing at TP-6H.bin. I get the following messages: Version 3.01 Windows SLP2 marker : TP-6H.BIN !!!! Fail Not supported system (18) !!!! System ID LENOVOTP-6H Marker ID LENOVOTP-6H Marker is valid for this system. Can not unlock ROM device **** Fail Unable to unlock BIOS (04) **** Thanks
I used the same image on the same memory stick (windows 98 command prompt) I have used to update several other thinkpads
Dumping EC from Thinkpad Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to dump ECP from a live thinkpad. I am trying to reverse engineer the recent ECPs. Till 410/210 series i can make sense out of them but after that the ECP inside FL2 files are simply not making sense. So I want a dump of ECP from a running thinkpad (X220, T420, T430, X230 etc). Is it possible and can someone make one and upload? I am doing this to support old 7 row keyboards on new Thinkpads 430/230. Thanks
I also have two sets of five beeps on boot with modded T510, but it boots and works just fine. I guess the embedded controller does some kind of hash calculation on BIOS and warns about BIOS corruption. Serg008, when modding for WL, how do you find an entry point in the EFI file? Btw, is it using any x86_64 opcodes, or is it plain x86?
