I tried using the Phoenix BIOS Mod Tool 1.90 and Endeer's PhoenixMod tool, but I don't get the BIOSCOD0*.rom files; just a lot of files with UUID.rom names.

Please remove the whitelist from my BIOS! I will be most grateful, as it will allow me WIFI access in MacOS X 10.7 Lion.

If you don't get a reply here... try over at:

LENOVO (IBM) Bioses, especially Thinkpad.

be sure to specify your looking mainly for whitelist removal... they specialize in another type of mod

Can they remove the lock they put on the w520 bios, so we cannot over clock or adjust the TDP for the CPU?

I have zero experience modding thinkpad bios... so no clue, see the previous post.. those guys are the ones to ask about bios modding
