Re: LENOVO BIOS AUTO-PATCHER for Supervisor Password Removal
Well, I could find windows machine and patched Lenovo W541 myself. It worked !!
Thanks to everyone involved. I just needed to patch 4mb file (although I took backup of other 8 mb chip as well, but that wasn't needed). I used colibri ch341 programmer and found to be more reliable and accurate in detecting chips.Comment

Just wanted to say a huge thanks to Knucklegrumble for creating a wonderful tool. I was able to remove the SVP on my Thinkpad W541.

Re: LENOVO BIOS AUTO-PATCHER for Supervisor Password Removal
I have set up a machine with ubuntu on it and im now getting this error, just wondering if i'm typing it correctly or if I'm missing something.
It will give an output of the bios I'm patching but the patched bios contents matches up to the original dump.

Re: LENOVO BIOS AUTO-PATCHER for Supervisor Password Removal
This also happened to me in the beginning.
The reason is simple, the UEFIReplace file cannot be executed.
You need to run chmod +x /Path/TO/tools/UEFIReplace.
Or so
SHOW=$(sudo find $HOME -iname UEFIReplace); echo $SHOW
SHOW=$(sudo find $HOME -iname UEFIReplace); chmod +x $SHOW
SHOW=$(sudo find /media/ -iname UEFIReplace); chmod +x $SHOWAttached FilesLast edited by Markus1741; 06-09-2021, 08:18 AM.Comment

Re: LENOVO BIOS AUTO-PATCHER for Supervisor Password Removal
Ive done this now and now getting a different message, I've tried two different dumps of the same make and model as before (the original one you did for me and an original one of a second machine) and both come up with this message.
Please see screenshots, I've included one of the terminal output and one of the folder location where its pointing.
My theory is that its trying to open the UEFIReplace.exe but I've also tried it on windows 10 and this is still the same output.Attached FilesComment

Re: LENOVO BIOS AUTO-PATCHER for Supervisor Password Removal
Hello, I can already see the problem.
It is important to either use the absolute path like this.
python3 $HOME/Desktop/lenovo_autopatcher/patch/autopatch.py $HOME/Desktop/lenovo_autopatcher/patch/Left1st.BIN
Or you are rich in the same folder than like this
python3 autopatch.py Left1st.BIN
Even what does not work in UNIX systems is insufficient information, the system cannot add it itself.
sudo python3 autopatch Left1st is not correct.
python3 autopatch.py Left1st.BIN is correct.
Good luck!!Comment

Hi, my laptop wont boot at all
With original bios no POST, only LED lights
With alternative BIOS from model TP500LN (flashed via programmer) the notebook works again
Some issues
A- with bios from 500LN, it won't update from bios of model 500LA (from 500LN v203 to 500LA v300)
B- If updated from 500LN version 203 to 300, the battery stops being recognized
Things I tried
1- Update / clear ME: Took the non working bios, made a backup, and did this: https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...theory/trouble... -
Hello, I have an old Dell G3 3579 (ST: 2WQ7LP2-8FC8) with a newer 8FC8 BIOS password. I have successfully attached to the flash chip (W25Q128JVSQ) on the motherboard with a CH341A programmer and made several modifications using Intel FIT (e.g., allow software SPI write) without bricking. I was also able to boot to a modified GRUB shell where I attempted to edit many BIOS security related options like BIOS Guard/Lock, Flash Signature Override, ME FW Image Re-Flash, etc.
Unfortunately, some of these modifications like to Intel BIOS Guard failed because it is fused into the PCH. Also,... -
Hello,
I have a Lenovo Thinkbook 15 G2 ITL i5 Laptop (serial number: MP2BFZEF) that when I turn it on, the led on the power button lights up for 5 seconds, then goes out. There's no display and nothing happens.
So I thought it was a Bios problem.
I found 3 bios chips on the board, which I read with a bios programmer: two XMC model bios chips and a Winbond model bios chip. Each XMC model bios chip has two partitions named XM25QH128A [3.3V] and XT25F128A [3.3V]. And the Winbond model bios chip has three partitions named W25Q80BL 3.3V, W25Q80xV 3.3V and W25Q80DV 3.3V.... -
Hi everyone,
I have been doing hardware repair as a hobby for some years now and recently decided to learn about repairing laptops as a fun challenge.
I managed to get my hands on a "HP Pavilion Gaming 15-ec2523nd" notebook that only shows a white power LED and doesnt respond to anything.
After initial testing I concluded the bios seems to be corrupted since all voltages are normal and there are no shorts. HP has a feature for a bios restore from USB with winkey+B for this model. This did not work.
I have desoldered the bios chip (GigaDevice...
