LENOVO (IBM) Bioses, especially Thinkpad.

[valel46]

chaddawkins, Yen, and others,

I saw this Chinese article, dated July 31st, for CB-01 to get SLIC 2.1 without flashing the BIOS.

It has all the files and instructions needed. If anyone interested, check it out.

http://www.windowsfans.info/windows7/1230.html

I will try it with the Y310a soon, it's supposed to be CB-01 already.

hello yen

i need white list mod and slic 2.1 for
Lenovo thinkpad t500
http://www.sendspace.com/file/vl48kn
this is original bios in case official site
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-70353.html

i'm sorry i've seen some slic + white_list mods on various chinese sites but couldn't download it

actually i've decomposed bios file
than i've patched bioscode06
but i can not put patched file back to bios

[Yen]

In that post (#185), if I follow the link rapidshare says that the file has
been removed by the uplo*der. Could you provide another link to download
the realtek bios for lenovo 3000 c200? And, once more, altough I know
I'm getting a bit annoying :o Any posibility that you could remove
computrace lojack from this bios?

Thanks.

:confused: It's a box.net link and still working!

Yes, members on the forum have had luck with this.
For anyone with SLIX have a look at THIS THREAD (http://forums.mydigitallife.info/showthread.php?p=62522#post62522)



After flashing with the supposed "14CN94WW" (Rev 94 bios) I can confirm this is NOT the newest bios, but still Revision 59 as linked to previously in this thread :(


I apologize... I packaged it as I received it... I've repackaged it with the correct name and relisted



Please update the modded SLIC list that everybody finds the mod easily.

[firaX]

May i ask a question?

My TP T400 came with no OS (student edition). RW Everything did not find a SLIC or SLIX table at all. I thought the SLIC is in the bios - therefore the moment i had done a bios update, should the included SLIC 2.0 not have been added to my laptop? Or is there a marker in the BIOS update, that tells the new bios to NOT add a slic, since my PC did not come with a preinstalled OS? In that case, if lenovo releases an official T400 slic2.1 bios update, will i still have to use a modded version each time they update the bios?

Would be thankful for clarification. I'd prefer the official lenovo bios, but if the slic part does not get flashed on my laptop i guess i have no choice. Maybe someone else has a Thinkpad that came with no OS and can clear this up. Thanks.

[yoyo168]

I've been looking everywhere to see if it would be possible to modify the T61p bios to get rid of the sata 1.5Gbps/s Cap that Lenovo has put in. The T61 uses the ICH8M which is capable of sata 3.0 Gbps/s speed. There are discussions on using baredit and HWDirect to write to the register here:

http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=312522&page=5

but it seems that the only way to be able to make it work would be modifying the bios directly.

Please tell me if it would be possible.

thanks.

[NathanAdler]

I would like to warmly thank you guys (especially the Yen) for the wonderful guide to update BIOS Lenovo.
I threw their attempts to find SLIC Marker old SLIC 2.0 in BIOS my x300, and simply followed the instructions by Yen and added a new SLIC 2.1 (TP-7V). Activate Windows 7 a success. I'm delirious with happiness ...

If you want, then here: http://rapidshare.com/files/265782413/X300SLIC2.1.ZIP.html file modified BIOS x300 - it may be useful not only to me.

Again, many thanks for your work ...

yes, and i also got your PM
there are two bios there, both confirmed flash AND activation... if others have the same problems I will remove
thank you for your concern

IS ANYONE ELSE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH EIGTHER OF THESE BIOS? HAS ANYONE HAD SUCCESS WITH EIGTHER OF THESE BIOS?

EDIT: BIOS REMOVED FROM LIST. SECOND CONFIRMATION OF DOUBLE SLIC... CONCERNS

[chaddawkins]

:confused: It's a box.net link and still working!

I believe he followed your quote to my original post, which had a rapidshare link... i removed it because it wasn't correct, that is obviously the reason you had to do it.
@TBA I will not replace it at my post with the correct bios because that is not my work, it is Yen's. If someone found that link at my post they would assume that it was. The list at the beginning of the thread, however, does have the correct link, as it is a collection from everyone for everyone.

[SLRVision39]

thank you, but not really... i'm a rookie to modding
do your mod first ;), then thank me
if it isn't perfect you may be calling me other names :D

Hi,

I'm not sure why you're unable to activate while others have reported success...

Try this 2.1 SLIC mod (LENOVOTP-6F) with the original 2.0 SLIC disabled and report back (the usual disclaimer applies - try at your risk).

http://rapidshare.com/files/265894275/6FET71WW.zip

Unfortunately, I don't have a T500 to confirm this but if you still have problem activating, provide a dump of your ACPIs from RW-Everything.

Caution:
6fuj31us.exe for T500 downloaded from Lenovo contains two bioses: 6FET71WW & 7VET71WW.
This mod is for the first one and you must ensure that this is really the bios that's applicable to your T500, before proceeding to flash (Hint: look at your current bios id).


Cheers!

Everything is done OK. Bios is normally updated by SLIC 2.1. It has also been the normal activation of Windows 7th Thank you very much and a nice greeting!

Hi Chad,

Can you update the master list with this confirmed working mod for T500? I killed the original 2.0 SLIC and now Win7 activation works fine :)

Also, I've received a bunch of PMs for T400 mod and I'll upload it shortly...

Cheers!

Tested BIOS mod made by chaddawkins is available here:

Also if one wants to really use Win7 on this Thinkpad there will be a bit of a problem to get graphics working, as there is NO
driver for Intel(R) 82852/82855 GM/GME Graphics Controller

But one copied from Vista works just fine (of course no Aero, but that is expected from 8Mb memory)

I placed this in the list the last time you requested it, alongside the one already there... i saw it on bios.net.cn also ;)... if you will look back a page or two, someone PM me and posted on here that there is a problem with this bios... also, there is the problem that this is only HALF of the 2 in the package. I modded BOTH bios in the package and posted them earlier, only one page back i think.

I saw that request too - but it was not the same mod as what I have uploaded today (in fact, it was done by someone else). The problem with that mod and the one you uploaded today is that the original 2.0 SLIC is still active resulting in 2 SLICs in the memory and possibly failed activation for some. I killed the original SLIC and luky was able to activate with this mod. I'll update the other T500 bios (7VET71WW) later and send the url.

Cheers!

Oops, then we are not talking about the same "original post". I thought
you meant the post #185 on this thread, but obviously you are mentioning
other post, but I'm so silly I cannot find it :p

On the other hand, any chance with the computrace lojack question? :D

[chaddawkins]

from the LoJack press release:

Our BIOS module allows no special undetected path into the operating system.
Uncontrolled access to a computer system may allow some BIOS images to be tampered with by an expert.
Attempting to alter the Computrace BIOS module for malicious purposes will not defeat conventional detection as claimed by the authors.
Any alteration to the BIOS module will cause any popular antivirus software to alert the customer.
More importantly, if the BIOS of a computer has been compromised by an attacker,
that machine is exposed to innumerable other vulnerabilities far beyond the scope of the Computrace BIOS module.
The presence of the Computrace module in the BIOS in no way weakens the security of the BIOS.
this is saying that if someone was to use malware on your bios,
it wouldn't matter if you had LoJack or not, thus LoJack does not
open any further possibilities that are not already there


Actually I don't need the SLIC, but I'm trying to get rid of
computrace lojack

IMHO it is very obvious that you have no interest in a SLIC bios... that is what we do here.
Lojack is a security measure to deter THIEVES.
Given that other problems arise by removing LoJack and
the possibility of someone using such a bios to STEAL computers,
I personally will not be helping you. Besides, I don't know how :)
I do not think this subject fortifies the integrity of this thread or forum

I have no intentions to offend anyone

A word of caution:
This is not an upgrade to your 6FET71WW (T500) or 7UET71WW1 (T400) bios.This is meant for a certain class of T400/T500, that use this 7VET71WW bios.
Please check your factory bios string to figure out which one applies to you before proceeding to flash. For most, it would be either 6FET71WW (T500) or 7UET71WW1 (T400).

I refer to this old post for requesting an Intel 5300/5350 Wifi card support.
The official Lenovo notebook needs to use FRU wifi 5300 card to work with.

The post of offering working 3.0.5 bios is working fine on SLIC 2.1 but no support of non-FRU wifi unit.
I want a working mod to support this wifi card without FRU.

I have no idea what info I should provide to this board for this request.
Oh, yes, I have the 3.0.3 (slic 2.1) bios which gets rid of FRU problem. Tell me if anyone want this to study.
Please help.
Many thanks

Hi everyone,
I have found the working X200 3.0.5 with whitelist.
Thanks for help.

I was able to activate Windows 7 with "Certificate & Product Key & Instructions.zip (http://rapidshare.com/files/261228607/Activation_Win7.zip)" from Page 1 of this thread.

First to say, my english is very poor, so please forgive any
misunderstood that could appear due to my spelling.


from the lojack press release:

our bios module allows no special undetected path into the operating system.
Uncontrolled access to a computer system may allow some bios images to be tampered with by an expert.
Attempting to alter the computrace bios module for malicious purposes will not defeat conventional detection as claimed by the authors.
Any alteration to the bios module will cause any popular antivirus software to alert the customer.
More importantly, if the bios of a computer has been compromised by an attacker,
that machine is exposed to innumerable other vulnerabilities far beyond the scope of the computrace bios module.
The presence of the computrace module in the bios in no way weakens the security of the bios.
this is saying that if someone was to use malware on your bios,
it wouldn't matter if you had lojack or not, thus lojack does not
open any further possibilities that are not already there


Well, at first, I must say that it is FALSE that the computrace module
not weaks the security of the BIOS. Take a peek at this article:
http://blogs.zdnet.com/security/?p=3828. It is so interesting, and it explains why
computrace lojack is not as secure as the company claims. That,
by itself, is a strong reason to try to get rid of this software, not
only for laptop robbery...




imho it is very obvious that you have no interest in a slic bios... That is what we do here.


Well, is not only obvious... I said it myself... ;) In fact I _will_ be so
interested in a slic bios when I (in the near future) want to give W7
a try, but by now I'm more interested in the computrace thing.



lojack is a security measure to deter thieves.
given that other problems arise by removing lojack and
the possibility of someone using such a bios to steal computers,

Well, in some way... the information that is provided in this thread
can be used to defeat some software's protection, so we could
say that is giving someone the possibility of using a bios to
"steal" software... but the final responsability is not in the
information, but in the good or bad use each one does.

But talk about computer thieves... If anyone wants to defeat computrace lojack
to steal computers, its a VERY easy task to do. He only has to delete
the two computrace files from system path, create two new files with
the same names, and remove all rights over them to every one, including
administrators. Then go to the registry, and remove the computrace
service entries. If this is done before the first time the computer is
connected to the internet after the computer is reported as stolen,
it will never be found... I have tried this method in MY laptop (yes,
it is mine, I paid for it, I have the invoice...) and it works so well.

So, if I can control the whole thing so well, Why do I want to wipe
it from the bios?

In first, I never asked for this protection, I don't like being forced to
use a software that I don't want, and that behaves as a trojan.
Also there is the security risk that ZDnet has warned us about.



i personally will not be helping you. Besides, i don't know how :)

Well, I asked Yen's help at first... Not for a special reason, just because
he did the first mod for this particular bios, and also because in other post
an this forums he said that he had succeeded in removing computrace
from another bios: http://forums.mydigitallife.info/showpost.php?p=61214&postcount=340, and IMHO,
I am pretty sure that his intention was NOT to help thieves
to steal :)

So, that is the bottom line: Yen, Will you please help me to make MY
laptop more MINE? :o

Thanks to all of you anyway.

Sorry for being a pest, but I'd just like to know what do to at this point. I've got a Thinkpad R60 94xx. chaddawkins very kindly provided an SLIC 2.1 mod of this, which is said to work by some who have tested it. However, I cannot make it work with phlash16.exe in pure DOS. The flasher sais something like "File is corrupt" or something about the checksum. I've tried downloading it again, and I get the same result.

It seems I cannot use the WinPhlash application; I'm running Windows 7 64-bit, maybe that's what's causing an incompatibility. However, the DOS flasher rejects the flash.

Anyone have any idea about this? I'd appreciate any suggestions. If WinPhlash is really required, could this work from something like a USB booted Windows XP or something?

[chaddawkins]

Try to flash it phlash16.exe BIOS.rom /O /Force /X /C /S

i found this after searching "phlash checksum"

i'm not too familiar with phlash16 as i should be, but did you try "phlash16.exe /?" in DOS?

Hello, I was in the process of flashing my X60t, everything was going fine however things 'froze' at "Processing Block 28 of 29"... I have been on that message for at least 10 mins now (I realize it says to wait for it to finish... but it's feeling like a lockup to me)... I have not done anything to stop it however the mouse and probably the keyboard (haven't touched it) are frozen. If anyone would be willing to give me some advice if they have encountered this before PLEASE do!

EDIT/more info: I was flashing from the 32-bit windows PE environment, I run 64 bit windows 7 and was receiving an error when tried to backup or flash...

EDIT2: I just realized this is the *Request* forum... I apologize for breaking the rules; I am just a bit anxious about if I am going to mess up my laptop or not... :/

hello,

Does somebody have tried to use the 64 bits version of WinFlash.
Can be obtain HERE (ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp41501-42000/sp41959.exe).

Open sp41959.exe with winrar and extract winphlash64.

edit PHLASH.INI and change Hideall parameter (Hideall=0)

regards

[wksk]

Thanks for the Y510 modded bios!!! I was having trouble doing it myself. Worked like a charm.

[zyonee]

i found this after searching "phlash checksum"

i'm not too familiar with phlash16 as i should be, but did you try "phlash16.exe /?" in DOS?

Getting somewhere, but not quite there yet...

The first suggestion (from Yen's post) gave me this message:

"The IBM routines (Lock/Unlock/Security) not found in the interface"

Your second suggestion just gives me the parameter list, as if I typed something wrong. And believe me, I tried it many times, doublechecking all the parameters. What will I do? WinPhlash in a 32bit bootable USB environment?

I believe that ! lol.... like i said, i don't know much about phlash16

EDIT:
try using the phlash16.exe i linked to HERE (http://rapidshare.com/files/266699023/phlash16_1.6.8.9.zip) and the included phlash.bat file... these commands/switches are based on the list i got from it by using the /? switch
i doubt they are different than your version of phlash16, but it may be a possibility

I believe that ! lol.... like i said, i don't know much about phlash16

try it by removing the:

EDIT:

Actually, I solved the problem. I booted one of all those utility boot CDs you find on the net, started "Mini Windows XP" and went from there to WinPhlash. Since that OS is 32-bit, I had no problems flashing the ROM file you provided, only thing was I had to select the RAM drive for the mandatory backup in WinPhlash.

Your Thinkpad R60 94xx SLIC 2.1 mod works like a charm. I removed my old loader and installed the Lenovo CB-01 certificate and my Windows 7 was activated without any SLIC emulation. Thanks again for all your help.

PS. Maybe you should include that this BIOS has the no-1082 mod included in the list in the first post of this thread. Might be useful to some people. :)

[Yen]

Hello, I was in the process of flashing my X60t, everything was going fine however things 'froze' at "Processing Block 28 of 29"... I have been on that message for at least 10 mins now (I realize it says to wait for it to finish... but it's feeling like a lockup to me)... I have not done anything to stop it however the mouse and probably the keyboard (haven't touched it) are frozen. If anyone would be willing to give me some advice if they have encountered this before PLEASE do!

EDIT/more info: I was flashing from the 32-bit windows PE environment, I run 64 bit windows 7 and was receiving an error when tried to backup or flash...

EDIT2: I just realized this is the *Request* forum... I apologize for breaking the rules; I am just a bit anxious about if I am going to mess up my laptop or not... :/

:o Was the bios confirmed to work? It still stopped? 1 or two members I know had that before. I don't know what they did further, but honestly to tell you they had to try for recovery....I wish I could give an advice to you....if you can stop the flash process DON't reboot..try to manage to re-start the flash process with original bios if possible....if you re-boot the bios has to initialise again and I'm afraid in that condition it will not....I hope you can manage to re-start the flash process without to reboot....as last resort try to cancel the flash process calling task manager...and again do not reboot if possible...good luck...

[chaddawkins]

I am trying to think back to when I flashed my bios, it never showed the final part# of part#, it just went straight to a "rebooting in 10 seconds" type message (I did mine in Win7) What I mean is, my bios only had 16 parts, so the last # of # it showed was 15 of 16, then the reboot warning. I never got a 16 of 16 message. Doesn't phlash16 have a command to make it restart? what i'm saying is, if you didn't specify that switch, would it reboot on it's own? or would it finish and sit there like it is at the moment and you have to power-off/power-on manually?

I am not saying power-off/power-on !!! lol stick with what Yen suggested
I am simply throwing my 2-cents out there

[Yen]

I never flashed a Phoenix bios:D. But should at least a 'update has performed successfully' message appear? To switch off / reboot he has to do anyway...maybe it's nothing about, but I've got a strange feeling in my stomach...

It looks fine. Yes get any lenovo certificate and apply it and apply the key as well.

[chaddawkins]

giggly giggly goo!!! lol

trying to break the tension in the room

this bios stuff is
high risk, big pay-off
go big or go home type stuff
not for the light of heart

yeah, it seems no one ever reports on how they recovered, just the questions up to it... it's like once they get it recovered reality sinks in as to how close they came to losing their computer/money and they walk away never to be seen again

I wish laptops were as easy to recover as desktops... i bricked my desktop AT LEAST 8~9 times learning how to mod my computer...
I reported my experience and instructions in the recovery post, if you're wondering if i did my part

this is the reason i stress so hard for people to make recovery disk and try to test them BEFORE they flash, because it's so nerve wrecking to do it afterwards... and all of us reading hate to see this happen to people, ESPECIALLY with a bios that is proven and we know works...

Sorry, it does not work! Now I attach the complete acpi information.

I have found the next:
It's lacking of the marker part. At pre-installed machines the marker data was applied with the 'government' tools to the EEPROM, (named by skycn123).
At biosupdate it's always lacking, this trick Lenovo made to provide only one bios update, no matter for pre-installed machines or not.

If you add a second SLIC W7 / Vista doesn't activate.
You either have to use the government tool to add the matching marker, or if you mod the bios, to rename the SLIC header to e.g. SLAC to avoid a duplicate slic

thanks for your contribution... the image is hard for me to read, but i think it says the RSDT doesn't match the other 2... because i can see the hex... and both are CB-01.

maybe someone with more experience can have a look at it and instruct me at an offset :rolleyes:

and i don't exactly understand the reason why it matters that the RSDT has to match, as long as the OS activates (but only because i obviously can't get it :p) i can see the possibility of WGA using this to validate, but it hasn't happened yet, has it? but on a serious note, i understand that if i'm going to be doing this for other people i need to have it exactly right because if not then we could possibly have a catastrophic and abrupt freak-out of forum members if wga does check this

There was nothing wrong with the original mod (except that it had two SLICs active - 2.1 and 2.0, which could be fixed as it leads to activation problems in certain cases).

Windows is activated because XSDT OEM ID and OEM Table ID match with the SLIC (even though RSDT doesn't. I read somewhere that with ACPI revision 2.0 onwards, XSDT gets preference). RW-Everything doesn't show this, nor does SLIC Dump toolkit. But you can install acpiscope, go to File -> Load ACPI information -> From BIOS. Then click on XSDT and you'll see OEM ID and OEM Table ID are correctly set to "LENOVO" and "CB-01 ".

Did you try running SLIC dump toolkit before flasing this mod (with the factory bios)? I'm quite positive you would have got the same results and the pre-installed vista wouldn't have had any problems with activation/wga.

Also Chad, the place where you changed the RSDT OEM Table ID descriptor is really just a place holder and has no affect on how it's loaded in memory.

If Windows 7 activated with the original mod, stick to it. If it did not, request a mod with SLIC 2.0 deactivated.

Cheers,
YYZ

If you really really want to satisfy the SLIC dump toolkit, change BIOSCODE01.ROM at offset 0xD720 but honestly, this is totally pointless.

-RW-Everything: AcpiTbls_Thinkpad R61i 8932-AEG.rar

Thanks in advance and best regards

[chaddawkins]

I do not understand how the RSDT can be any different because CB-01 is the "natural" SLIC to this bios

I don't care to satisfy any program, we're doing this for activation, so that's all that i personally am concerned with... this is the same reason we're not concerned with the TCPA table... if some program showed the TCPA table didn't match I wouldn't care eigther

that said, why does everyone talk about RSDT if we should be talking XSDT? can you find/point to a source of that info, that would be great.


Also Chad, the place where you changed the RSDT OEM Table ID descriptor is really just a place holder and has no affect on how it's loaded in memory.
that's how i was taught, the lenovo way, to change the RSDT... to place it in that location
If this location of RSDT doesn't load it into memory, where does?

and at D720h I've got this... which I can't comprehend, so that is beyond me


could you explain this location a little more, what is it?


thanks

Chad, I'll try to post some more details about this later... But where you're trying to patch RSDT and XSDT descriptors is not the right location - it's just a place holder. For this bios, RSDT OEM Table ID is read from BIOSCODE01.ROM/0xD720 (compare the string you see here "Capell00" with the SLIC Dump Screenshot) and XSDT OEM ID / Table ID is read from BIOSCODE01.ROM/0xD96E (and it's already set to the correct value).

I also see that you have fixed the original 2.0 SLIC, which is good. But the RSDT and XSDT patch is not needed for this bios since you're using native SLIC for this system and can be removed.

For this bios, RSDT OEM Table ID is read from BIOSCODE01.ROM/0xD720 (compare the string you see here "Capell00" with the SLIC Dump Screenshot) and XSDT OEM ID / Table ID is read from BIOSCODE01.ROM/0xD96E (and it's already set to the correct value).

I also see that you have fixed the original 2.0 SLIC, which is good. But the RSDT and XSDT patch is not needed for this bios since you're using native SLIC for this system and can be removed.

i see what you're saying about 0xD720 and Capell00 now...

yeah, if Lenovo isn't making the RSDT match, then why should we have to? if this is the case, M$ can't make that part of WGA... and we're waisting our time doing it... this is just like the reason we're not doing TCPA table, they don't always match the same OEM Table ID
look here at this RW-everything dump
http://forums.mydigitallife.info/showpost.php?p=104017&postcount=221
and then here at the SLIC DUMP Tool
http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/1718/91566963.jpg

if this bios was done at factory, it's RSDT would not match the SLIC

Yen, justinkb... others.. i would love for you guys to chirp in at any moment and let us know what you think :)

if the RSDT doesn't matter, then is it important that the RSDT not specify a SLIC, ie LENOVOTP-79, and then the SLIC say something else, ie LENOVOCB-01? maybe that could be used by WGA, if RSDT does specifiy a SLIC and the SLIC not match.... i'm just brainstorming...

FYI i have a long weekend ahead of me, work-wise, so i probably won't be doing much here

[yyzyyz]

i think this is the "government tools" talked about HERE (http://forums.mydigitallife.info/showthread.php?p=62522#post62522)...

Yes, it's the same tool - but apparently only v3.1 onwards can update T400/T500 (based on what I could gather from the english translation). The version linked in skycn123's post is the older version. Has anyone come across this? This would be really awesome since no bios mod will be required if the original slic could be updated to v2.1.

and i guess this is why the rw-everything dump has been so important, so that the modder can just search for whatever the dump says the RSDT is, and then replace it at that location... right?:confused:

Yes, like the latter (above) - with three trailing spaces.

Again, this is absolutely unnecessary. All this would do is to make the SLIC Dump tool happy. There would be no affect on activation status: Windows is already activated since XSDT matches the SLIC and will remain activated.

Hi,



did you follow the included instructions exactly as they are written? What i'm asking is, did you flash BOTH bios?




i think i did, but



first, flash the $0A6A000.FL1 in the folder.
after that flash and reboot, flash with this $0A6A000.FL1

the instruction is not really clearly.

I flashed the "$0A6A000.FL1" which includes the whole winflash tools, after that the "$0A6A000.FL1" file into the folder who contains only "6auj13us" folder & the "instructions.txt" several times..




after the 5th try it works! ths a lot for ur help..

I was able to flash the first bios (wich was an older as i had) via the winflash update funktion, and after that
i could flas the actually fw version from you..

[yyzyyz]

I fully agree. Either the OEMIDs of RSDT OR XSDT has to match to them of the SLIC in order to get activated!

Well, based on my experience, I wouldn't say it's a simple either-or.

I have seen cases such as this, where XSDT matches but RSDT doesn't and Windows still activates.

However, while modding VMWare bios (phoenix), I fixed the RSDT Table but somehow missed the XSDT and Windows wouldn't activate even though SLIC dump tool reported everything was fine (obviously, since it doesn't take XSDT into consideration).

To me, the activation logic seems more like this:
If XSDT is present, it must match the SLIC for successful activation and RSDT is ignored. If XSDT is not present, RSDT must match the SLIC for successful activation.

[chaddawkins]

The fields at offset 00-03h and 04-07h, you saw - it is a pointer to the next module, and identifier and the number of modules, which owns the Header.
Field 08h - sort of describes the type of module (42-BIOSCODE, 41-ACPI, etc.)
Field 09h - always 1Bh - meaning it is not clear
Field 0Ah - is not clear (probably describes whether the module is compressed or not)

Next - the crux of the matter - Field 0Bh-0Eh - that explains it?

Field 0Fh-12h - also requires explanation (always repeats the contents of offset 1Bh-1Eh)?
The field of 13h-16h - is the length of the module without a header
The field of 17h-1Ah - here is a pointer to address the continuation of the code module if the module is not one solid block of code

I understand if the module is a single block, there 00 00 00 00
However, after the compression gets here earlier field - the length of the module without a header
If the module is not a solid block as part of this field is critical - you need to specify the address to which
continuation of the code will be located, but if the module is located one block here, and got the contents of the previous

Is it true and if you need to fill this field with zeros?

Here is the information requested. Thanks

Well, based on my experience, I wouldn't say it's a simple either-or.

I have seen cases such as this, where XSDT matches but RSDT doesn't and Windows still activates.

However, while modding VMWare bios (phoenix), I fixed the RSDT Table but somehow missed the XSDT and Windows wouldn't activate even though SLIC dump tool reported everything was fine (obviously, since it doesn't take XSDT into consideration).

To me, the activation logic seems more like this:
If XSDT is present, it must match the SLIC for successful activation and RSDT is ignored. If XSDT is not present, RSDT must match the SLIC for successful activation.

You are right, since I'm modding always both I didn't examine that because there is no advantage to mod only one of them.

Well, I haven't examined the header any further. I've figured what I basically need to make my mods.
Your explanation is right, header offset 09h, byte 1Bh is header length byte..
If you recompress the modules using prepare the tool doesn't zero the four address bytes in case of split modules. I don't care about since it doesn't matter. It points always outside the bios address..also 00 00 00 00 would do.....prepare.exe is usually used by PBE and in combination with catenate.exe. prepare exe alone doesn't get addresses, so the link address bytes are always 'nonsense', the first, the link to next module you have to correct, also the module index byte, the link address to next part of split module I leave uncorrected.

The Nonsense: link address to next module is always EDACEDAC, link to split module: repeated module body size....

Header of split module:


Offset 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F

00108000 E5 FF ED FF 00 31 31 02 42 1B 05 10 21 0E 00 E0 åÿíÿ.11.B...!..à
00108010 E1 00 00 12 17 00 00 F1 7B ED FF á......ñ{íÿ


At destination address the second block continues with 6 zero bytes, followed by 4 size bytes of second block.


module header non split:



Offset 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F

000CEE60 98 ED EC FF 00 31 ˜íìÿ.1
000CEE70 31 03 42 1B 05 40 4B 03 00 E0 CF 00 00 6C 8D 00 1.B..@K..àÏ..l�.

I mean, you need to use only version 7OETC3WW (2.23-1.08)

Version 7KETC8WW (2.28-1.08), I remembered having in mind my questions to the Yen, since work on it, I have difficulties...
In place of "In connection with the version" should be "About" or something like that ...
I am not sure that this version is suitable for your computer...

OEM Revision is insignificant, in fact when loaded in memory, I've always seen it get reset to a value different from the one used for the mod (usually this value is common across the other acpi modules). I always set it to "00" or "01" (and of course fix the checksum) in the SLIC table before modding a bios.

hi,

If any of the recovery methods have solved a brick machine the ultimate solution is to remove the BIOS chip of the motherboard and flash it with a EPROM PROGRAMMER (http://www.sivava.com/buynow.php?pd=A054).

Here is the link to LENOVO MAINTENANCE HARDWARE MANUAL (http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-39298) you will find details to extract the motherboard.

If somebody is interested by this solution I can make a more detailed tutorial.

Now, if we go on Lenovo's site today, they are saying that it's the 2.23's version that's needed.....
They may be playing with our nerves here don't you think ?

Or maybe TotoTata7 did a mistake.... but I was asking for the same thing since the beginning so I think we are right from the start or I have made errors from the start also ?? quite confusing

[morpheus00de]

hi,

If any of the recovery methods have solved a brick machine the ultimate solution is to remove the BIOS chip of the motherboard and flash it with a EPROM PROGRAMMER (http://www.sivava.com/buynow.php?pd=A054).

Here is the link to LENOVO MAINTENANCE HARDWARE MANUAL (http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-39298) you will find details to extract the motherboard.

If somebody is interested by this solution I can make a more detailed tutorial.

regards

No way, most chips are TSOP32 and hard to remove and programm.
But when i bricked my X41 tablet i open it and want to sell in part, i reconized that the mainboard has a connector 4 bios programming.

[maxic]

I'm pretty sure Lenovo changed this....
If you look at TotoTata7 post... you see they are asking for the 7kuj27us.exe for the 8932 model. I believe this was a copy of Lenovo's site...

As I said before, I tried to flash 7kuj27us - I thought that is the right bios for my machine. But the right official bios 7ouj15us - it flashed without a questions. I don't know what lenovo playin' but in fact we have what we have.

In waiting for usb floppy then will try to recover.

hey guys

just wanted you to know something
got my hands on T400S today, ran RW Everything on it and it already has SLIC 2.1, so you can mark it on the first page as one that already comes with SLIC 2.1 from the manufacturer.

if you ask me about the T400S, its so GORGEOUS!
i really wanna replace my T61 with T400S :p

Were you able to use this connector to program the eeprom? How?

[SLRVision39]

I checked on my R61 8932-G7G and you are right, it's the 7ouj15us.exe that has to be used with this model....
Well, I start to think that it's been a mistake on my side since the beginning...
So now, you all tell me that this version of the 7ouj15us.exe is bricking the laptop ? I'll test it and let you know :)

Can someone mod the BIOS for T400 and remove CompuTrace?? I see mine as "Activated" and it's grayed out, can't deactivate it from the BIOS. Also would be nice to add the FRU protection bypass so we can add generic hardware cards.

Thanks in Advance.

Has anyone got the BIOS file for a Lenovo IdeaPad Y550? The support site (http://consumersupport.lenovo.com/en/DriversDownloads/drivers_list.aspx?CategoryID=207087) for this model 41865BU is not showing any BIOS changes so I can't submit one. Maybe the notebook model is new enough they haven't released anything new.

I'm planning on purchasing one of these soon and I wanted to get a head start on the BIOS mod. If I get the notebook before I see a mod posted, am I able to export the BIOS file to post?

If so, it should come with SLIC2.1 already and you should be eligible for a free (http://www.lenovo.com/us/en/windows7/) upgrade to 7.

[leopard96]

Oh holy crap, I guess you are definitely right. This post of mine is the second dumbest thing I've done this morning.

I thought since it came with Vista it may not be ready but I guess that would have been if it were an older model of notebook.

Hi I'd like to say thanks for the work gone into the BIOS mods.

However I downloaded 63af08us_TP-6D-SLIC21 for the Lenovo N100 3000 but non of the certs (the one supplied on this thread or any ones on Orbit30's & Hazarz 7Loder v1.5 R2) are working to activate my windows, i even tried adding the cert manually but no luck.

Any help will be greatly appreciated :confused:

Hi,
Ever since chaddawkins decided to retire from this thread... nothing happens anymore.
I hope you'll come back soon or this thread will die quickly.
This demonstrate the importance you have.

I still haven't tested the mod for 8932-G7G but I know maxic had to send his laptop back to the maintenance as he wasn't able to do anything with it....
Did anyone else try it successfully ?
Thanks

[Yen]

This thread will sure not die.
IMHO Chaddawkins retired from this thread, because it was to much for him to handle all the requests. One reason therefore is because many requester drove him like mad, posting all around even though the bios was already modified.

I guess some members cannot imagine how much work that all is. Chaddawkins learned to mod LENOVO bioses, which aren't easy at all. Then he also did great work in updating the links, managing the thread.
One thing you all never should forget: To mod bioses is not like to patch a game exe for a no DVD cr**k. IF you make a mistake at biosmodding, a Notebook may brick!!!

I've started to look after this thread and helped to develop the 'Lenovo way'

Now I'm in a team developing a Phoenix mod tool. We are working hard on it.
To mod bioses is here second priority!
W7 wasn't released yet to the main public and some are already impatient or are afraid of nobody cares here about requests....

It's so simple to say, but it's true: We are not enough modders!!!
W7 is now THE OS and Vista was like cr*p, everybody likes W7, but nothing usually is for free, even death may cost money...
If you cannot wait for, buy a legit serial for W7!!!

You all are requesting for a free service to get your biosmod. This fact you never should forget.

Please wait posting requests if you notice the thread is stagnating!
It's senseless to post and post......check here again and watch the thread, if it's going on again you may post.....in the meantime rearm your W7 what's the problem about????

chaddawkins, enjoy your time and thank you so much for all the work you have done here.
The Phoenix tool isn't ready to be released to the public yet. You sure know that Phoenix bioses are very complex and almost all are different in managing SLIC tables.....
I wish and I hope to see you again here at MDL, at the latest when the tool is ready...:)
Thanks again.

[Tery]

If you still want to take advantage of this version, here the file this mod.
http://rapidshare.com/files/268576990/7kuj27us_TP-7V_SLIC21.zip.html
However, I can not vouch without checking that it is 100% Working mod. So, if you choose to flash, verify for themselves all that relates to the emergency recovery procedure BIOS again.

Well after having read the entire post once again, I saw you mod, and flash it (I didn't touch anything in advanced settings), everything worked fine, W7 is now fuly activated.

For people mixing-up, what bios they have to flash to their notebook, the simpliest way is to start from this website (http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/homeLenovo.do), and choose carefully their Thinkpad models, then you check for the last bios, and you'll see which to choose.

Well that's the risk, maybe 2.23modded, doesn't works, maybe you did bad on your part (flash bad file, problem when decompressing the file, ....).

For my part, I've had no problem with the good file for my notebook, so the 2.28modded is working, I can't verify 2.23 as it is not for my notebook.

The process of flashing was successful, then the laptop will automatically turn off itself. No evidence. Do not blame anyone.

Hello Modders,

need modded Bios for this one:

-Motherboard Manufacturer and Model : Lenovo 2746AQG
-Bios Revision : 6AET58WW
-Bios Type : AMI
-Bios SLIC : 2.1
-Bios Link : http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-70039
-RW-Everything: doensn't work on win7 x64:-(



Can someone please update this BIOS (http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-70039) (SL300, SL400, SL400c, SL500 and SL500c)?

Latest version is v1.24, released 2009/06/18.

Fixes several issue.


Also, a stupid question, what SLIC table do you insert? Dell? I don't see it mentioned in this thread.


Thanks in advance.

Well that's the risk, maybe 2.23modded, doesn't works, maybe you did bad on your part (flash bad file, problem when decompressing the file, ....).

For my part, I've had no problem with the good file for my notebook, so the 2.28modded is working, I can't verify 2.23 as it is not for my notebook.

I've flashed 3 different types of Lenovo with success + my ASUS Rampage Formula... I also have a 8932 but due to maxic's experience, I'm just waiting for another one to try this Bios :(:o

Downloaded from the first link, and reuploaded to RS and MU.

Flashed my R61-8919 successfully (thanks for this). Still using RC though and cannot test. RW shows SLIC 2.1, but I see a difference probably of the marker which was LENOVOTP-7K and now is LENOVOTP-7V.

Flashed my thinkpad (also have a R61 Type 8919) and can confirm this. Everything works fine and W7-RTM activates :) Thanks for this mod, NathanAdler!

I agree, I wouldn't flash either

EDIT:
I'll take another look at this in the coming days and be very careful/thorough with the mod
