    Lenovo Helix 3 Bios Dump Required

    Hi forum members.

    i urgently required a Lenovo Helix 3rd gen Bios dump to unlock this laptop, i know it well that in Lenovo series password are saved into EEprom not into Bios, but if you try to study this case you will wonder that it is unique case of its type. i am also posting my works to those who want to take a close look to this teasing case :P

    actually i am in search of a clean dump or a person who is able to make my dump clean for the whole forum. this thread is unique of its type and may be interesting too. so lets start guys

            These models listed below are using SMSC MEC1633L to store the Supervisor password. Maybe Lenovo will come around with another chip for the next models, so we will update the list with all those we tested already.

            Unlocked so far (all submodels included): T440, T450, T540, X1 carb gen2 and gen3, X240, X250, W540, W541, W550, Helix gen3.

            Unlocking solution is finally available and requires SPEG programmer to be able to flash the BIOS.

            The process is:
            1. Reading the BIOS and create a valid dump. In a Thinkpad, the BIOS is married to the internal TPM chip and contains a unique signature of it, so it is important that the original BIOS to be a correct read out for the success of the whole operation and to restore the BIOS afterwards.

            2. Patching the BIOS binaries and inject a small allservice.ro UEFI program. This program will read the secure eeprom, reset TPM certificate and password, write secure eeprom and reconstruct all data.

            3. Write the patched BIOS dump (this will only function in that TP btw), start the laptop and generate a Hardware ID. We will send you a unique key that will activate the Allservice BIOS, while the BIOS is loading it will execute the unlock routine and unlock the SVP and TPM.

            4. Finally, write the original BIOS dump back to for normal operations and enjoy the laptop.

            We can also change the SN/UUID and reset RFID checksum error by using our UEFI program in the same manner, if necessary

            The unlock service price is per machine (like we do for the Macbook/iMac, HP, Acer, etc) For service price and availability please read the next post below. You may contact support@allservice.ro for any inquiry.


            We shall be able to also provide, for service shops only, a software solution that is able to dump/flash the MEC controller secure area from an USB device, and to have more control of the security operations, more like the usual way. Though this solution is still in progress..

                Hi Guys, finally i got the solution, write this bin file (only only only) with the allservices Lenovo EEPROM writing tools to L-08 EEPROM, i wait so long for a working free solution a few months may be so i am posting file here for those who are still unable to found a solution for helix 3xxx
                After writing this bin file into EEPROM password will be abcdefgh

                  Fayiaz,

                  I spent months looking for a solution. There was NOTHING available. And this morning I bumped in your post. This is looking promissing!!!

                  Can you confirm your method will work for Lenovo X1 Carbon (20BT-XXXX)?

                    thank you so much

                    has this method success with x1 carbon 240 3th generation and 5th generation ?

                    can you give us explain ?


                    I think this machine is first generation, but the new generations does not contain this chip L-08 EEPROM

                        Hi. Can you explain more in details how you did all this? Did you write the 1kb files in to the main eeprom chip by replacing the original main bios? Where did you put this 1kb files? etc

                          Ok, I understand now that you flash the small chip L08 but these new laptops use MEC chip for which there is no documentation available.

                                      by Andreas_de
                                      Hello!

                                      i got a damaged Manson NTP-5561 (60V, 1,6A DC output) and and the main issue is that the controler IC for the LCD display has a short. The controler IC PIC18F87K90 is mounted on the back of the back of the LCD. Vss-Vdd = 3 Ohm. The 5V and 3,3V power line was killed as well, but that is not a problem. A new LDO 3,3V and 5V 7805 is already ordered.
                                      Replacing the PIC18F87K90 is necessary but that makes no sense without having the HEX dump of the new controler.

                                      Does anybody have such a power supply and could do a HEX dump of the Flash and EEPROM memory?

                                      A few days ago, i updated the bios of my laptop lenovo helix (type 3701) from windows. After successfully installation i couldn't get in to the bios and it was just black cursor blinking screen. Except that everything was ok. Later i decided to downgrade to the older version bios to get rid of BS. This time after bios install preperation, pc rebooted, screen was black for 15-20 min and fan was full throttle. I know I shouldn't interrupt the process, but somethings was wrong and i shut it down after 20min. I corupted the bios i guess. After connect the battery, when i push the power button fan...

                                      Hello all,
                                      I have a Lenovo Thinkstation P500 that is stuck at post with no display, it happened after I changed the memory timings in bios. I can not clear CMOS using the jumper on the motherboard, also tried re-flashing bios suing a USB stick but it also doesn't work. The only solution that I can think of right now is re-flashing the bios chip using an external programmer but the problem is that I don't have the bios dump of p500 for flashing externally and I don't know the location of bios chip. If someone can provide the bios dump and bios chip location it would be really helpful....

                                      I have made two dumps of this bios, with the bios chip removed from the board and the hashes match on both dumps, but I cannot find the DMI information in the dumps except for the Windows product key, so I think it is corrupted. I have downloaded two bios updates from the Lenovo support site, but they contain small .PAT file, and 4 subfolders containing .FL1 and .FL2 files, which I don't understand enough to figure out how to use to fix my dump.

                                      The problem with the laptop is that...
