Lenovo never put the Y580 stock ROM v8.01 online anywhere.

But there is a guy who backed up his v8.01 bios and put it online

BIOS v8.01 (full name - 5DCN90WW(V8.01) made with FTP64 program

The guy posted the link on the forum here which is

The guys name is Serg008 and the post is #14451 in the thread

Thanks for sharing! Now I just have to wait till the moment that I am brave enough to flash this original BIOS and after that patching the 8.01 BIOS.

Anyway I still want to know though, if there is anyone beside nicholas who managed to upgrade the 2.07 BIOS to 8.01.

So does anyone have a copy of the original 8.01 (4.5MB) BIOS? Because https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B7D...XJDbzF2TFV2RXc gives me a 404 error.

Hey, some may know me from the Y580 Hackintosh guide, but I'm just asking myself if it is possible to flash 8.0X over the modded 2.07. As far as I've read this topic that is only possible by doing this: http://forum.techinferno.com/lenovo-ibm/2260-lenovo-y580-y480-unlocked-bios-versions-94.html#post70966 . Unfortunately I couldn't find the original 8.01 BIOS. I've found this thread: http://forum.techinferno.com/lenovo-ibm/5160-y580-5dcn40ww-v2-07-split-4-5m-only-bios.html#post72938 but the Google Drive link gives a 404 error. So is there anyone who got that 4.5MB original v8.01 BIOS?

And if there is anyone who managed to upgrade from the 2.07 BIOS to the modded 8.0X BIOS beside nicholas0044?

Also I recommend to use Rufus, not the HP Tool.

Hello everyone, I just want to mention that I've made a guide and a post installation OS X installer: https://github.com/MegaCookie/Lenovo-Y580-OSX-Installer-Clover

I love homeland it is such nice how they turn a supporting character in one of the main characters.
