Lenovo Y400 / Y500 - unlocked BIOS / wlan whitelist mod

Recommended Posts

When trying to open any version of fpt, I get an error that says this can't run on windows. 

I remember trying this before and I didnt' have so much of a problem. 

Thanks for all the work though.

When trying to run the x64 version it starts, but then closes after typing everything. 

I had to update windows to get .net framework 4.5, I remember trying the files before and not having this problem.

Try it again and again, trust me i drag that files to program about 50 times again and again. 

There is always hope  :sorcerer:

 

Unfortunately, it's not just the drag and drop part.  The actual app window is different and has a different response by asking to drop the name of the modified file after.  So it's not just a matter of the bios file getting modified by the program, but something is not set up right. 

 

I stopped working on it and was getting my super slow desktop wifi up to speed.  Damn asus pce-n53 was getting less than half the mbps of this laptop (50-60mbps), but now it's slightly better on ookla and much faster (wireless N) on lan speed (nice program to test speeds between router and device).

I need to figure what I'm doing wrong here and see if I can get it work right.  Maybe I'll set it all up on my desktop to modify the bios file and see if that works.  I plan and doing a fresh install on laptop once/if, I get it all running.

Hello.

I am thinking of buying a new AC WiFi card, and good thing I stumbled here before buying!

I can`t believe there would be a Whitelist! This is some Samsung phone level sh**.. :D

I upgraded my Y500 BIOS to 2.04 and wanted to mod the it, only to see I need to be "promoted" to download the files.

How does one get promoted?

Also is 2.04 the latest version? Are there any changelogs available?

Thanks :D
