Thank you for this advice. It seemed to work, although it does not copy the EC portion of the BIOS file. The InsydeFlash tool has an option to disable EC flashing and no size errors are thrown when attempting to flash the BIOS I dumped. I believe this should be safe to modify, although I am not an expert. It would be nice to have someone take a look at it. I uploaded it here.

appears that the link is dead

{"error": "Service Unavailable"}

also take a look at this, maybe could be of your interest. third post

good luck

best regards

No. Version 8.01 is not available for download from Lenovo support. If you want a modded 8.0x BIOS, you will need to wait until Lenovo releases one (to fix some unrelated issue). You could try flashing a modded 2.07 BIOS by changing some of the options in the InsydeFlash tool, although the results of doing that are uncertain and I wouldn't recommend doing it. Your best bet is to request the original 8.01 BIOS from Lenovo on their forums or through their phone support, or to find some BIOS bug so that they will upload an updated 8.0x version (which would then be modified to remove the whitelist.)

Also, to other users (someone with a Y580 that shipped with Windows 7). There is a [backupROM] option in the InsydeFlash tool. I have been unsuccessful at getting this to dump the BIOS currently on the laptop (it only creates a backup of the BIOS you are about to flash). It is supposed to do both, although this may be because I haven't actually tried to flash any BIOS (since I don't have a modded 8.01 to flash, or any 8.01 for that matter.) It would be nice if one of you (the users with the 2.0x) could try turning the backup option on and flashing the stock 2.07 bios or any of the modded 2.0x bios to see if the tool will actually dump your bios upon a flash attempt. If it does, then it may allow 8.0x users a way to obtain a modifiable 8.01 bios allowing us all to remove the whitelist.

if you want to do a backup try this insydeflash utility posted in lenovo support web page decompressed it and from the windows command prompt use this command line "InsydeFlash.exe anyname.fd /g"

I would also like to do a backup with the insydeflash utility posted in lenovo support web page using this windows command line "InsydeFlash.exe anyname.fd /g" . and compared to the one just downloaded on the package.
