I have analyzed camiloml's modified bios - he has done a correct mod, so ... sorry...I have no other solution
You may be right but for some reason it doesn't flash. It says flash failed etc. and then it restarts without upgrading.
I deleted the HP_TOOLS partition and i managed to flash the no whitelist bios but i still get the same 704 error
I think the Softoaq is for different models motherboards? Is the mod done on the Motherboard ID 1484?? or for another motherboard ID?
I have a Thinkpad x120e that's running Linux. I have two different modified 1.16 BIOS's (unfortunately I don't remember where I got them) that want me to use winflash.exe, which isn't an option for me. What I've tried doing is mounting the official Lenovo BIOS iso and replacing the '$0A8F000_NWL.FL1' file with the FL1 file from either of my modified BIOS's. This is what I've done so far, and none of it has worked: Tried updating from 1.15 to 1.16, modified without a whitelist - I get a red "an error has occurred" message during flash Tried updating from 1.16 to 1.16, modified without a whitelist - Says an update is not necessary I read some where that creating a 'PFLASH.RSP' file in the update directory, with the contents of '-sa' would allow me to update from 1.16 to 1.16. It didn't have any effect for me. So, many questions. The all encompassing one being, how can I get a modified 1.16 BIOS on my x120e while running Linux? Am I way off-base by just replacing the 'FL1' file? Is the error I get when trying to go from 1.15 to a modified 1.16 just because I'm not starting out on the same BIOS revision? Thank you very much for the help. I never knew a community like this existed, and I'm certainly glad that it does.
