Need help in patching the Lenovo W541 Bios and EEPROM dumps (attached zip with 2 files). This has supervisor password that I intend to remove. Please help in patching these files, Autopatcher doesn't work on on my Macbook.

Thanks in Advance !

Autopatcher does not work with Mac iOS.
Only with Linux or Windoof.
Please only patch the 4MB chip.

Well, I could find windows machine and patched Lenovo W541 myself. It worked !!
Thanks to everyone involved. I just needed to patch 4mb file (although I took backup of other 8 mb chip as well, but that wasn't needed). I used colibri ch341 programmer and found to be more reliable and accurate in detecting chips.

Just wanted to say a huge thanks to Knucklegrumble for creating a wonderful tool. I was able to remove the SVP on my Thinkpad W541.

I'm using the autopatcher from page 1 of Knucklgrumble in Ubuntu 18.04 or 20.04 with Python 3 and this works great for me.

I have set up a machine with ubuntu on it and im now getting this error, just wondering if i'm typing it correctly or if I'm missing something.

It will give an output of the bios I'm patching but the patched bios contents matches up to the original dump.

This also happened to me in the beginning.
The reason is simple, the UEFIReplace file cannot be executed.
You need to run chmod +x /Path/TO/tools/UEFIReplace.
Or so

SHOW=$(sudo find $HOME -iname UEFIReplace); echo $SHOW

SHOW=$(sudo find $HOME -iname UEFIReplace); chmod +x $SHOW

SHOW=$(sudo find /media/ -iname UEFIReplace); chmod +x $SHOW

Ive done this now and now getting a different message, I've tried two different dumps of the same make and model as before (the original one you did for me and an original one of a second machine) and both come up with this message.
Please see screenshots, I've included one of the terminal output and one of the folder location where its pointing.

My theory is that its trying to open the UEFIReplace.exe but I've also tried it on windows 10 and this is still the same output.

Re: LENOVO BIOS AUTO-PATCHER for Supervisor Password Removal

Hello, I can already see the problem.
It is important to either use the absolute path like this.

python3 $HOME/Desktop/lenovo_autopatcher/patch/autopatch.py $HOME/Desktop/lenovo_autopatcher/patch/Left1st.BIN

Or you are rich in the same folder than like this

python3 autopatch.py Left1st.BIN

Even what does not work in UNIX systems is insufficient information, the system cannot add it itself.

sudo python3 autopatch Left1st is not correct.

python3 autopatch.py Left1st.BIN is correct.



Good luck!!
