ThinkPad T460s bootloop - BIOS failflash

[XStoneX]

Hi everybody!

I've tried to flash a T460s with the modified file by maxpower3 to remove the bios lock. Sadly somethings went wrong, the T460s won't start now, played to much with the bios dump and bricked the ThinkPad...

Now it's in a boot loop (0,2 sec on - off - 0,2 sec on - off.....). Can anybody please have a look on it what's wrong with this acutal dump file?

Thx!

Thanks a lot for your efforts @hoaca388!

Sadly the dump brought no improvement - still remaining in the boot loop. Maybe the original dump from this machine could help. I've tried to flash it back - but also no success. It must be a problem with the TPM or Intel ME I think...

Thanks again, sorry to say, that the Thinkpad is still reamining in the bootloop. Any ideas left?

Is there an anti-tamper switch

Yes, and it's pressed down by adhesive tape...

Hooray! That's to much for my skills... Are there any other solutions?
