SUCCESS FINALLY. I managed to figure everything out though the boot to dos utilities. Flashing process worked perfectly!! THANK YOU SLV7 FOR FREEING ME FROM THIS GARBAGE THAT LENOVO HAS FORCED UPON ME!!!!!!! :Banane03::Banane03:

Shivanshu, I tried the command you stated in admin command prompt in windows 8.1 but it says it is an unrecognized command. Im not sure why this is being so stubborn...... Do I need to boot into the dos tool to do this.....? and if so could someone provide me with the commands needed after I am booted into DOS. Also, I don't know if this helps but my bios was already at v2.02 before I even started this process. I think I may have updated it from the Lenovo website awhile back. When I tried to update it to the supplied V2.02 it failed, so I checked the bios version and apparently it is already at v2.02. Ive tried using the fpt tool as well to no avail. I cant seem to find any other posts of users having issues dumping the bios for backup using the tool. Just success success success. When I try to enter the suggested command it produces this error: Error 200: Invalid parameter value specified by user. Use -? option to see help. After 2 or three key presses the program closes and this is what I find in the error log. Very frustrating . I would really appreciate it if someone could help me get this going. I really hope im not stuck with this crap wifi card ((.

Shivanshu, thanks for your reply. I will try this tomorrow morning. Hopefully I can get this whitelist removed soon!!

Hello again, I am trying to backup my bios using the provided tools, however, I am unable to get the batch file to work. After I run as administrator it just instantly closes. Is there a specific directory where it is saving the bios dump? I also tried the win64 tool however I am unable to enter the command above as it just closes the window when I try to enter text. If you think there might be something that I am doing wrong please let me know. Thanks in advance.

Hello, I am new to the forum and I am considering removing the whitelist on my Y500 due to the terrible speeds on the stock intel centrino Wlan card. I have a few questions if someone wouldn't mind helping me out. How risky is it to flash bios over to the modified version? Also, has anyone done this mod and tested a 2X2 wireless AC compliant WLAN Card. My goal is to be able to achieve a reliable connection capable of providing 60 Mbps speeds at ranges of 20 ft from my asus RT-ac66u router. In addition I would like to keep Bluetooth functionality as well but will not be using it all the time so any slow downs associated with bluetooth will not be an issue. If anyone has any recommendations that fit these requirements please let me know. Thank you in advance!
