[GUIDE] ThinkPad BIOS: Reading, Patching, and Flashing
"skyra1n" ThinkPad Firmware Patches from digmorepaka's GitHub a list of UEFI patches for ThinkPads, these are the special sauce for adding features to our BIOS. If you have a ThinkPad 30 series device, you do not need to follow this guide for flashing skyra1n, you can flash your BIOS with the internal flashing software.

- where to find t480 custom bios?

T480 Advice ?
I bios unlocked and enabled the custom undervolt menu on 1.44 bios using a ch341 bios programmer. This way I set the undervolt via the bios rather than throttlestop.

t14 gen1 AMD BIOS mod?
Hey guys! Have any one tried this BIOS mod on latest firmware?

My new T480s
Here's the link to the uefi patches which are used to unlock the bios. https://github.com/digmorepaka/thinkpad-firmware-patches There's a very short and undetailed guide how to apply the patches to your bios. But just know that you need an external bios programmer like ch341a

Snagged a cheap Thinkpad T480 i5-8250U, would love some advice on upgrades and distros
First thing is to verify that the thunderbolt firmware is up to date and that both ports are working. Start here https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/br/en/solutions/ht508988. Then, if you want, you can buy these two and use these equipment (Ams1117 3.3v ) > aliexpress.com/item/32838236408.html with my ch341a > aliexpress.com/item/32841448145.html to make the bios mod (this will work for cards of wifi better wifi 6 and hackintosh) the patches are here (https://github.com/digmorepaka/thinkpad-firmware-patches), (it is possible to clean the intel ME) too, if you can't do it, don't risk it, ask help here in the community. I suggest backing up your bios and also the thunderbolt bios. Here is another topic from a colleague in the community and in it there is a pdf of mine where to check the cfg-lock to enable or disable.

Appreciation post for my pristine & mighty W530 - almost filled to the brim!
- 1vyrain BIOS with TDP set to 42W and Turbo Boost increased from 30 to 40s (you can find those settings in the 'Advanced' menu if you have an unlocked xx30 ThinkPad)

a lit of people says about 1vyrain, what is it? i want to buy a thinkpad t430 this week and try to make some change on it.
Read all about it: https://github.com/n4ru/1vyrain

Moved from Windows to Debian Linux on the T420
Nice! Have you thought of changing to an open source BIOS with Skulls? It's more secure and faster. You can now flash it with a flash drive using 1vyrain.

T530 questions
For T530, ivyRa1n BIOS allows/unlocks overclocking.

Why the heck are X230s running at around $300 on eBay?
i did the easiest one... 1vyrain, which is basically a softmod for the bios.. coreboot and libreboot are a different beast altogether, and afaik a physical bios flasher that you clamp to the bios chip...

Getting "Bad CRC of Security Settings in EFI variable" after installing 1vyrain
The 1vyrain instructions direct you to clear any BIOS passwords or settings prior to flashing.
- x230- Damn this is a good machine.
- am i going crazy or is there no date and time setting
-
