thinkpad-ec VS BugTracker

Hi all, some of you might be familiar with the T430 classic keyboard hack. I seem to be stuck. I followed the instructions here to physically modify the keyboard. I downgraded my BIOS to the 2.81 version. I installed Linux Mint on a spare SSD, booted into it, and followed the github instructions here to create the bootable USB. However, when I boot the USB to modify the firmware, I run into an error message before it starts. I'm not quite sure what it means or how to get it to proceed. Does anyone have any experience with this?

If your notebook is a thinkpad from the xx30 series you can do a custom keymap for the embedded controller with thinpad-ec - you'd need to flash back bios, update EC, flash back coreboot. I've done that to have a native dvorak keyboard with control on the right position.

In regards to unlocking third-party batteries on the Ivy Bridge ThinkPad laptops, this is handled by the embedded controller firmware, stored on a completely separate chip from the system firmware. On these systems, coreboot is not concerned with the embedded controller functionality at all. There is a separate project that handles this: thinkpad-ec

I bought an aliexpress battery and have gone through the process of the battery patch. I can now run with the battery, and get a decent 6ish hours off of it. Fantastic.

It looks like checkra1n is more limited in that case[0][1] so I'm not sure if there are any workarounds that can get you the whole way. I would ask in their bugtracker: https://github.com/checkra1n/BugTracker

Perdon, creo que lei mal tu comentario, en fin, hay algunas personas que al parecer tuvieron el mismo problema (Referencia: https://github.com/checkra1n/BugTracker/issues/1211) , gente dice que tienes que poner "allow untested iOS' y supuestamente arregla eso.

No photos can be downloaded via SSH scp. - I referred to this reddit post (https://www.reddit.com/r/jailbreak/comments/fmzirx/questionunlocking_device_or_transferring_files/) and had the same Operation not Permitted issue. - I dug a little deeper and found out that the iPad's security is causing it.

Apparently my issue is probably my CPU (AMD, Ryzen) https://github.com/checkra1n/BugTracker/issues/9

Using any Foundation classes (like you do with NSProcessInfo) in your constructor is highly discouraged, you're better off using these C functions, I suggest pulling the executable path from there or comparing against the bundle identifier instead, the reason for this is that the contructor is running at a point in time in which objc code execution can have some unwanted side effects, see sauriks comments in this github issue for more info.
