Hello svl7!

Unfortunately my y510p has bios version 2.02..

Can you help me by adding v2.02 support to the tool? Or is it possible that I update my current bios to a white-list-tool friendly version?

Thanks!

Are you sure it's 2.02 and not just the utility, if it's true svl7 needs a copy of your bios. He have written a nice guide on the first page.

Well now the problem is back..

Hey rune

I'm also having trouble booting; same symptoms as you described in post 228 (if i remember correctly).

My specs are :

Y510p with dual 755M, bios 2.04

Couldn't drag and drop my backup bios onto the bios patcher when running it as administrator, so ran it default.

Could you tell me the exact step's of your modding procedure ?

best regards

Of course i can

I took my old backupbios the one I used for the first modded bios.

I used my dropbox and took my girlsfriend windows 7 laptop and made the modded bios.

back on my own computer i took the files into a folder C:\bios\.

Open cmd as administrator. C:\windows\system32\ right click run as administrator.

typed CD C:\bios\

copy pasted fptw64 -f v2xxMod.bin -bios and executed.

and exit.

It is still working today just tried.

OK here we go:

Configuration Tab:

USB Legacy - Enabled

Wireless - Enabled

SATA Controller Mode - AHCI

Power Beep - Disabled

Always On USB - Disabled

Intel Virtual Technology - Enabled

BIOS Back Flash - Disabled

Deep S3 Function - Disabled

Boot Tab:

Boot Mode - Legacy Support

Boot Priority - Legacy First

USB Boot - Enabled

Exit Tab

OS Optimised Defaults - Other OS

That should be every configurable option covered with the limited BIOS. Hope this helps

Well i can see you are not running windows 8.1 then. so unfortunately not really

Did try your settings, but they didn't helped wondering if i should try to reflash the bios.

Good News Everyone.

I remade my modded bios from the same bios backup and flashed it did 10 restarts now and everything seems working.

Everythings been perfectly fine here. No problems at all, perhaps you should try resetting your BIOS settings to default? If need be let me know if you want me to list out all of my BIOS settings just in case its a setting specific thing.

Hey yeah that would be nice i did try to run it by default as well.

For those of you wanting mods for the recent vBIOS updates, I submitted a new vBIOS mod request to svl7 here: http://forum.techinferno.com/general-notebook-discussions/4635-bios-vbios-modification-request-thread-svl7-6.html#post72163

Feel free to test it out and provide feedback once the mods are released. I can't really test it out myself since I'm still on Windows 8 and won't be updating to 8.1.

Why wouldn't you update since lenovo have fixed the vbios to support sli now?

svl7,

I just wanted to let you and everyone else know that the BIOS 2.04 patch has worked perfectly! I am now able to use my Intel wireless card and it is working flawlessly. I just wanted to thank you for taking the trouble to do this, you have saved my laptop!

I will be sure to donate to your cause

Do you have problems rebooting ?

Now i tried the last 4 times no problems :S

One more problem, when i try to restart the computer the bios get's stuck at the lenovo logo (looks like it's not passing the hardware check) if i turn it off and then on. The uefi loads perfectly fine

Yes.

Hmm, works perfectly fine for me on Win 8.1... might be an issue with your .NET config. The app will require 4.5 I think.

Well i do have 3.5 4.5 as far as i can, but nevermind it was an easy work around i am already running the modded bios so i am happy (i am on the 2.04) and can tell no errors along the way.

One problem with the software realized, if you are running under windows 8.1 you cannot drop just run as a windows 7 and it works like a charm now with my ac7260 :)

Yes, saw the thread on forums.lenovo.com, was just about to let people know but you took the lead rune-d Well done.

People who will go with the official way please let us know if it is the same vBios as the leaked one.

I haven't downloaded the files from Lenovo.

Well i didn't try the leaked one because i have the gt755m, the only diffrent in the version number was 2f vs 32 on lenovo's new version.

Finally offical of lenovo.

Print this file so that you can refer to it during the installation.

Anything related to the new vbios, please open a new thread for discussion so we can track the discussion easier.

Thank you for your time and support!!

Did you open cmd as admin ?

I already have the chip is the thing. I got it a while back when I was planning on upgrading my Yoga's wireless card, but couldn't gain access to it.

Well i do not see any problem with that as long as the new bios is unlocked.

I noticed that most of the people in this thread are trying to install the Intel AC card. I am attempting to just get a dual band wireless N card in. Will this still be compatible?

If you are buying a new card you might as well get the 7260 it supports dual band n as well so why not get the newest but otherwise as long as i only dual band with two antennas then you are good to go.

Here in Denmark store elgiganten

I have no idea. I just used a program that contains every wireless card drivers in. I am outside so I cant even check the name. But why? Do you think I have to change or upgrade the driver?

Is this the intel ac7260? Why does it say ac1200?? Anyone know?

I think it's the link speed they want to tell about

Here you can see the diffrent serie numbers, as far as i can it's the right version.

On the driver issue go to intel Intel® Driver Update Utility

Here you can see the diffrent

Mine is y510p and version is v1.09.

After I unlocked my bios I installed BCM943228HMB but seems like this is worse than n2230. I guess intel ac7260 is the best way.

which driver are you using ? proset ?

Just got a new y510p

Would like to put a 5ghz card in the laptop ie Intel Ultimate N 6300

Would this get mod allow this? Just want to be sure as I dont want to end up bricking this thing

With the modded bios you would be able to use your wifi card.

Well i already got the 2.04 bios from stock, and that doesn't help me with my gt755m sli

2.X bios is as far as i can the people who have bought the machine with gt755m gpu, like me.

We got answer from lenovo, in official forum:

All,

I appreciate the frustration, and I know you have been working on this since September. That said, we couldn't escalate issues to engineering until Windows 8.1 became official. We passed that gate on the 17th, so it is fair game now.

I saw your tweets, and also note that this thread has gone from 1 to 8 pages, driven by some very motivated folks. Please keep in mind that the forum is primarily peer to peer, and as you scan other boards, there are plenty of threads demanding Lenovo attention, so you aren't being deliberately ignored .

I acknowledge your concerns and we'll try to help you get this solved. It may be that development teams already know about this - I'll need to look into it to see what is already in progress. We can open a new case based on this discussion.

I think one of the recent comments urging a recap of the situation is helpful.

We need to focus on how the Lenovo provided drivers don't work, and the symptoms - the 2nd card isn't recognized at all, doesn't work in games, produces blurry graphics etc. If you want to reference Nvidia OEM versions, that's great, but we can't focus the case on them since we support our versions.

I appreciate your help.

Thanks

Mark

So alot of bulshit again, first Lenovo i have ever bought (y510p, gt755m sli), but i am starting to think that maybe that was a mistake whitelist, crappy drivers.

Well the driver headline is R331 Game Ready Driver, Version 331.58.

There is only 2 driver in 331. 58 and 40 and 40 is only a beta.

But well i am more curious did it fix the windows 8.1 program.

I am wondering if one of us should post in svl7 post http://forum.techinferno.com/general-notebook-discussions/4635-bios-vbios-modification-request-thread-svl7.html or he is aware and just haven't had the time.
