T430 classic keyboard mod help needed - can't flash the EC
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?

Using coreboot for keybinds?
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.

Coreboot vs Ivyrain vs Skulls vs Heads
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
- x330 mod. Can't whitelist batteries

New X230 battery showing constant 0%
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.

Recovering a password-protected ThinkPad T60
It's not a complete brick; if you give up iCloud and all associated Apple services, you can get a root shell (assuming checkra1n is unpatched on your device & iOS version) and delete the locks and end up with a phone that works fine if you can get an alternative app store on it (which you can if you're able to get a root shell in the first place)[0][1]
