Bios Modder Klem Posted August 21, 2018 Bios Modder Share Posted August 21, 2018 In this thread you can post your requests for Lenovo ThinkPad T440p / T440s / T540p / E440 / E540. If someone wants upgrade Wi-Fi card and remove whitelist, or unlock hidden additional menus and settings in bios setup menu, and sign unlocked bios with digital RSA signature (to avoid 5 beeps problem), then you can post your request in this thread. Important! For creating bios backup and to flash bios mod, you must use any SPI programmer (like CH341A programmer) and a SOIC8/SOP8 test clip! Just dump your Bios using any SPI programmer (like CH341A programmer) and a SOIC8/SOP8 test clip, then post it in this thread or upload it to any fileserver and send me the link. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MilkyWay Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Hello Klem! I recently acquired a Lenovo T440P, and would appreciate if you could help me get the WLAN whitelist removed, as well as the Advanced Menu unlocked. I used a SPI programmer CH341A to dump my BIOS from W25Q32FV chip. The dump i sent you via PM. Thanks, and I appreciate any help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuxiee Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Hi, Klem! I used my ch341a_spi to dump my bios from my W25Q32.V chip in my T440p. I just sent you the BIOS dump via pm. Would you be able to modify it to get both the unlocked BIOS menu added and the WLAN whiteless removed? Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cuapy Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Hi, I've got the SPI programmer and tried to dump the bios, but the clip was constantly 'sliding' off of the chip.. I'd assume there's enough space to get a grip without removing the whole base cover, but right now I am not sure if the issue is with my fatty fingers or do I really need to disassemble it to get the clear access to the mobo?

Hi! Unfortunately, I can't remotely help you connect the SOIC8 clip to the BIOS chip. If you can't connect, and you see that something prevents you connect, you can try to disassemble the laptop.

cuapy Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 (edited) Was rather thinking that someone who dumped it would chime in and tell whether they had to remove the bottom base or not Thanks, will tear it apart tonight and will get back to you when I have the dump. Thanks! OK I was able to dump the bios, send you a PM. Edited November 28, 2018 by cuapy bios dumped successfully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onsit Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 (edited) Hello, did anyone have any issues using flashrom via linux seems... ch341a_spi is supported https://www.flashrom.org/Supported_hardware#Supported_chipsets Curious if all these cheap ch341 programmers are all the same, and behave the same for flashrom to pickup the usb device correctly. I also found this debian based program https://github.com/setarcos/ch341prog - but if the more widely used flashrom works, may as well use that.

zeeshany Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Hello Support, I have a T440p Lenovo laptop, and forgotten the BIOS Super password, please can you advise if BIOS password can be removed? What will be the procedure, will it require opening the laptop motherboard etc or just through software programming? Can I do it myself if you provide steps and instructions? How much will the service cost and how much time will it take to unlock the laptop? Thanking in advance for your response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
