    Hi Serg008, Do you still have the DOS-95 version of FPT pictured here handy or know where I can find it? Thanks


    EDIT: I have obtained the tool and successfully dumped my Lenovo Flex 14 ROM. Been one helluva journey just trying to dump this silly thing. I will now complete the checklist and make a proper whitelist removal request. Thanks

    thanks for not giving up. However it continues to give:

    Protection: this version is not newer
    error: new image file doesn't support flash utility.

    I noticed that the insydeflash that comes from Lenovo for this bios version contained flas**t 1.5W

    I've been looking for that version but cannot find it anywhere...perhaps that would help.

    Thanks for everything

    1. unpack the archive to, e.g., C:\UPDATE
    2. run 7luj25us.exe (from .\Original\ folder as Administrator (right mouse click - as Administrator)
    3. reboot-->go to the BIOS & load bios "Defaults"
    4. run WinPhlash.exe from .\Modified\ folder as Administrator (look Readme included at first)
    (01AF000_SLIC-WL.ROM - modified bios)
    5. reboot --Load BIOS "Defaults"

    After run WinPhlash as Administrator and Click "Advaced settings" or "Flash BIOS"...

    Message: "Cannot load drive C:\UPDATE\Modified\PHLASHNT.SYS. Please check your accounts, if you have no administrator privilege. Please login again! Error Code: 1275"

    Hi again Serg008. Might be a dead end here, but I've gotten your modded ROM loaded into and recognized by InSyde H2OFFT (both 5.31 and 5.41 versions). I've edited platform.ini to the point that when launched, the InSyde utility gets to the "don't unplug...etc.." warning, but when I start the flash it errors out as below:

    View attachment 27050

    NOOB question here: If it turns out that flashing this modded ROM is not possible, might it be possible to replace an existing whitelist entry with the hardware ID of the card I want to use and maintain the so-called "secure" nature of the image so I can flash it with the InSyde tool? I'm feeling like I really screwed up buying this damn thing.. didn't even know hardware "whitelisting" existed until I tried to put a better WLAN card in here and decided I would go on my own fool's crusade to learn about it and try to beat it. Thanks again for checking it out
