Hello there, I would like the same modifications to my T430 as well. I do have some questions. So I ran this command line program NEW_BACKUP_FPTs.exe I found here which dumped this file results.rar, which contained a .txt file that write protection was on the BIOS. Is the BIOS I'm uploading still able to be modified and flashed using my Raspberry Pi, SOIC8 Clip, and SPI cables?
I have previously flashed Libreboot onto an X200 with a Raspberry Pi, SOIC16 Clip, and SPI cables using the flashrom program on Linux. It was easier than I thought when all was said and done. So I just want to know if there's any pitfalls that need to be avoided with the T430.
The BIOS version is 2.66 and the EC version is 1.13. Thank you for the help!
I'd like to request a whitelist removal from bios of my t430. I dont actually want to use a wifi card in it (it had already working one in second slot) - i want to run this miniPCI -> usb hub: https://pl.aliexpress.com/item/329917519...5c0fTNoO8k
Its working on asus laptop my friend has, so it _should_ work on laptop i have, after removing the whitelist
Make: Lenovo
Model: Thinkpad t430
BIOS Ver. : 2.81 (G1ETC1WW)
Original Wireless Adapter : none
Wireless Adapter ID : none
BIOS download: https://support.lenovo.com/pl/en/downloads/ds029252 ( the 2.81 one please, im using EC flash for 7row keyboard and battery whitelisting and its compatybile with the bios without encryption - i'd like to preserve this functionality). If its possible, i'd like the battery whitelist to be included in the bios as well, but not the 7row mod - i still swap keyboards every few weeks if im working in dark environment.
Thank you very much in advance,
A.
