how to create a lenovo laptop bios dump file

[pdblues2231]

there are several ways of accomplishing this, you can use a mini programmer to read the chip while on board or remove the chip and place it in the programmer and dumb the bios. obviously not all motherboards are compatible this way. this depends on the chip itself.

I can finally report, on my X270 the patched UEFI file won't work. After reboot the flashing stops with error secure flash boot something error.

If anyone wonders how to force update: WinFlash64.exe -capload -file $0AR..._PATCHED.FL1

When did you see FL1 files being used? Everyone is talking about chip reading and programmer! It doesn't work like that.

Okay, ... not worth my time writing to the nand directly, not even opening that old x270 ^^
I get it, if it is a near new machine, ok ... but if i can't use the software flash tools, i give up

Hello everyone, I've gotten a hold of a Thinkpad W540, and unfortunately it is bios locked. really bummed out how the seller didn't tell me but here we are. I've made dumps of the 2 bios chips (25Q032, 25Q064. 4 mb and 8 mb respectively) and made sure to compare the files. I couldn't patch the 8mb dump as the auto patcher thought it was corrupted or not a correct dump. it did patch the 4 mb dump just fine. i've since then never touched the 8mb chip and just flashed the patched 4 mb dump to the 4mb chip with my CH341a. upon doing this, the laptop was essentially bricked and would not boot up. Powers on but the fans spin, no image and no beeping. I've tried to patch it and flash it a few times and removed the cmos, the external battery and the hard drive to no avail. The laptop works just fine with the stock bios, what am i doing wrong? Here are my dumps.

Hi everyone! I'm having a problem trying to remove the password from my T480. I'm getting a weird tune on my thinkpad, and according to the Lenovo Diagnostics app, the error is 0285. Is there anything i can do? Already tried clearing TPM but nothing.
Thanks in advance!

Here is the original BIOS file and the patched one.

Working on old X380 Yoga Thinkpad with unknown SVP set, dumped 16.384 kb from Winbond W25Q128 chip, auto-patcher output says bin-file "is corrupted or does not contain a valid dump" - any hint? Thanks

Your bios updated. Try to patch it again

[Ziome3eknh]

I uploaded the corrected BIOS but the password is still there and half of the functions cannot be changed in the BIOS.

Try first the "...new.bin" file and see if the laptop is booting ok and if it has password.
If all ok you have the patched content also in the zip , write it and follow the procedure from the first post in this thread.
In short:
- Enter any character when asked for Supervisor Password
- Press Enter when it shows Hardware ID
- Press space bar 2x when asked
- Turn off machine
- Restore original BIOS

Please provide feedback.
S.S.

Lenovo T580 when I go to write the patch file I get file size larger than ic size. I can read and write back the original file no problem but not the patch file. Do you know how to fix this?

Try NeoProgrammer software instead and see if you have better luck with that

Hello.
Can someone please remove the Supervisor password from this rom?
When I try to use autopatcher, it creates the PATCHED file and deletes it after a few seconds.
