I tried to flash a modded BIOS to remove the whitelist for my B570 Lenovo Laptop so that I can use a different wifi card. I followed the instructions on this BIOS-Mod forum post:
https://www.bios-mods.com/forum/Thread-R...od-Request
I would like to point out that the Dropbox links are now expired. Although, since it has been over six years that that is not unexpected for a post such a long time ago.
After doing some digging I was able to find what I think is a modded BIOS for my Laptop made by Camiloml at this link:
https://www.bios-mods.com/BIOS/index.php?dir=Whitelists%2F&download=44CN43WW_NWL_DOS_ByCamiloml.exe
I also found what I think is a modded BIOS file for my laptop called: Lenovo_B570_44CN43WW_NWL.Rar. I can't find the website that is the source of the file, but I think I found it using a Google Search. I do know that I got it using the following download link:
https://public.boxcloud.com/d/1/bb6wS0MvfbV3cZbx.... Neither of these was able to successfully remove the whitelist for my laptop. Below I outline in more details what I have attempted.
The Windows method did not work because it said that I got a message saying the program could not complete the flash because the BIOS version I was trying to flash is the same as the current BIOS version.
I also tried using both the DOS method and Windows flashing method. The DOS method seems to work, at least there were no error messages during or after the flash. After rebooting and I logged in and then shut down the computer and installed the WiFi Killer 1550 chip. Once I told the computer to boot I then would get the "104-Unsupported wireless network device detected" error.
After getting that message I tried to reflash my BIOS using the package that Lenovo provides and then reflashing with the BIOS made by Camiloml.
For some extra information read below:
As of today, I am now unable to flash back to my stock BIOS using the downloaded file from Lenovo's support page. Also When I try to use the Winflash.exe BIOS flashing method I get a BSOD that says
Stop code: Page fault in nonpaged area,
What failed: WinFlash64.sys
I am not sure why I got the BSOD since I successfully ran the WinFlash executable earlier today (with it failing once it got to the last step and told me that it could not flash the BIOS because the BIOS I tried to flash is the same as my current BIOS).
Another weird thing that happened yesterday is that after flashing the first time using the DOS method my wifi card somehow got disabled and if I opened the Windows 10 WiFi settings there was a toggle set to off for my WiFi and if I tried to click it would get reset back to off as soon as I closed the settings app. I fixed the issue by reflashing my original Lenovo Bios. Once I did that I logged back in and my WiFi adapter was re-enabled.
Thanks for all your help!
