Hi , could anyone remove the whitelist from my Thinkpad X230 bios? I'll really appreciate it! -Model & Machine Type: Thinkpad x230 -Bios Revision: 2.52 -Bios Link: g2uj11us.exe (download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/g2uj11us.exe) I've tried so hard to do it but no luck : ( Please help me!
Do you have an SPI flash programmer or a desktop motherboard with 8-legged SPI Flash SOIC that is compatible with Flashrom? Can you solder 8-legged SOIC chips with either a soldering iron and a firm hand or a hot air rework station? If your answer to any of the above questions is NO or I DO NOT KNOW, you cannot mod your BIOS, because the Embedded Controller protects the BIOS SPI Flash from write access.
Yes! I do have the hardware to get started (SPI flash programmer, hot air rework station...) but i need the method to get it done it will be perfect if anyone can help me with this.

i tried reading atmel chip from a ibm t30 for password and i found out that it has a read protection of sorts.. had to power it on the board and read soldered with wires.
I can't find any solution... I think now I've to buy a new card, can any one tell where i can find a WWAN card works with X230 without the "1802: unauthorized network card ..." error?
Soldering is not difficult. Attached are the picture of the process. Google 'Soldering SOIC8' for youtube videos. There is also a connector named CN100 that has all the required pins of both flash chips exposed. If you are planning on in-system programming, you can solder straight to that connector, but be careful not to pull the leads from the board.
I also have a lenovo x230 tablet and I'd like to remove the white list. I am very comfortable soldering and I'm actually an undergraduate electrical engineering student at the University of Michigan. I don't yet have an SPI flash programmer but I would be happy to buy one if it would let me mod this bios. I'm looking online now for one but was wondering if you have any suggestions for which one to get? After I get the SPI Programmer would anyone be willing to help me get this thing modded? I would be happy to discuss compensating you for your time via paypal if required.
Hmm, still nothing? I can't help from hardware side, but if some information (eg output of some applications) is needed, ask : ) btw, if someone need this... x230 2325-SYU failed when installed 3g modem: F5521GW 04W3767
