Re: LENOVO BIOS AUTO-PATCHER for Supervisor Password Removal
Man thank u for ur tool!!!
it saved my locked lenovo x380 i bought it with locked bios and then tried to tamper with the setting with a tool used in windows(i wanted to install ubuntu alongside windows). then i got locked out of my laptop for good saying too many attempts for the supervisor password i could not even boot.
then bought the CH341A programmer
removed every battery and power source
did multiple backups of the winbond 25q128 chip
did an erase and then flashed the patched one and did as advised
then turned off and ERASED the chip again(at first i did not reset which resulted in black screen and melody beep sound)
then flashed the original backed up bios again and did reset as advised
and voila!!! thanx again
i bought the laptop for a reduced price due to the locked bios! it turned out a good deal after allComment

Re: LENOVO BIOS AUTO-PATCHER for Supervisor Password Removal
FYI: This tool worked wonderfully for me.. The said bound computer would be a Lenovo Thinkpad L380 (20m8s0m300).
I used a Chromebook (LENOVO E500 2ND EDITION). I put the chromebook into developer mode, enabled the Linux environment, installed Flashrom and others, as well as your tool.. All was extremely easy to do since 'apt' is available to install missing packages.
It all went according to plan, without any hiccups. For anyone who does the same, you just need to keep up on re-enabling the USB port through the various stages so that the linux environment has access to it. There doesn't seem to be a way to make that stick, least not from the menus. Well, I didn't really look into that too far to see if there was any kludges to make it stick - out there - but anyways....
Where do I send coffee/beer or whatever???? Seriously..
Thanks again to you and everyone else who posts their trials and tribulations so that we may learn from the paths you have ventured!

Re: LENOVO BIOS AUTO-PATCHER for Supervisor Password Removal
Worked perfect for our Lenovo ThinkPad T480s and its MX25L12873F chip [1], flashed from a Raspberry Pi with a simple SOIC-8 clip from ebay ☺️ Thank you very much for this great tool!
[1] T480s has a second chip, a Winbond 25Q80DVSIG, so make sure to read/write the right chip!Comment

Re: LENOVO BIOS AUTO-PATCHER for Supervisor Password Removal
hi All, as i am new to bios flashing could anyone help me understand the steps in the first page :
autopatch -h will output the help info for the command
autopatch --howto will output the following instructions on how to use the patched image:
**I have created the patch using above method
[ HOW TO USE THE PATCH ]
STEP 1: Flash and replace current BIOS with the generated patch file (i believe its using the programmer tool)
STEP 2: Boot the machine
STEP 3: Press ENTER/F1/etc. to enter BIOS settings
STEP 4: Enter any character when asked for Supervisor Password
STEP 5: Press enter when it shows Hardware ID
STEP 6: Press space bar 2x when asked
STEP 7: Turn off machine
STEP 8: Restore original BIOS (i believe its using the programmer tool to flash back the original , which were extracted and were used to make the patch?)
STEP 9: Reset BIOS settings to factory default
thanks in advanceComment

by jbonavitaHi, 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...-

by zeniusHello, 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,...-

by WahazHello,
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....-

by BloodhoundjeHi 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...-
