skoczi 11 Posted November 30, 2013 Hi Everyone!I've Y510P and i dump bios using Intel FPT Tool (probably latest version 9.5.1.1458). I mod (remove whitelist) BIOS 3.05 (without Windows Key, i have no OS version) with EZH20 Tool (Option - "Removed module" -> 11D378C2-B472-412F-AD87-1BE4CD8B33A6). But when i try to flash with the same tool that i make dump Intel FPT Tool and i have error -> Error 280: Failed to disable write protection for the BIOS space!I enable/disable option Flash Back in BIOS but flash is still without sucess :-/Sorry for my english and i hope that can someone help me Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skoczi 11 Posted December 1, 2013 OK... i try to use FPT tool in DOS mode and i have the same information about Flash Protect (error 280)... then i try use PRR2 tool: @svl7 - maybe you can up to date the prr2?? I must replace the 2230 to 7260AC because of wireless range in my house :-/Maybe Y510P have a function of recovery bios (the recovery file must be name Yx01.bi) but i don't know that i can use the dump from FPT Tool or i must use the FULL ROM with EC and MEI and which combination of keyboard button launch this recovery mode.

skoczi 11 Posted December 3, 2013 Hi!I have found one chance to replace the WiFi in our y510p. In hardware maintenance manual (official from Lenovo) are list of compatible adapters with FRU from Lenovo.Hardware Maintenance Manual - IdeaPad Y410p, Y510pThere are three cards with 2x2 antenna:BCM4352 ACBCM4322 Dual BandAR9462 (aka WB222)I'm call to Lenovo Support in Poland without success (they say bla bla bla)Then i'm call to authorized repair center RAMSERWIS.PL in Warsaw and they told me that:BCM4352 AC it's not available now and don't know that card will available.BCM4322 Dual Band it's possible to order (2-4 weeks) - price 285PLN -> 92$ it's very expensive but it's workAR9462 (aka WB222) it's possible to order (2-4 weeks) - price 285PLN -> 92$ it's very expensive but it's workAbove adapters have the same FRU like FRU in hardware maintenance manual Probably i order one of them and i forget about bios mod 3.05 because probably it isn't possible to flash with flash protect.

alexdiaz 10 Posted December 5, 2013 I'm also getting the same error with a Lenovo Z510. I think the chipset Intel HM86 is to blame which powers the Haswell generation. I've tried almost any solution to flash the whitelist modded bios but no luck. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alexdiaz 10 Posted December 5, 2013 It turns out that Insyde > 3.xx bios is to blame. And I have 3.7, which is great... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It would at least let users use the Lenovo Intel 7260+BT4.0 card, Lenovo FRU: 04W3814Easy card to buy and not very expensive.Below is the hardware info from device manager in windows 8:Intel® Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_08B2&SUBSYS_42708086&REV_4BPCI\VEN_8086&DEV_08B2&SUBSYS_42708086PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_08B2&CC_028000PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_08B2&CC_0280 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jerryfxl007 10 Posted January 12, 2014 Have you backed up your bios? Can you downgrade the bios? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
