Anybody have experience with BIOS modding on thinkpads?
Does anybody have bios modding experience on thinkpads? I am trying to modify something very specific on my X220 tablet, but I have no idea how to recompile the bios, meaning get it into a flashable file. I have edited what I needed, but I don't know how to recompile properly. Any advice/help would be greatly appreciated. Its a simple, little hack. Also, advice on whitelist removal would be great!

Zender (of BIOS-mod fame) describes here how to do this: http://www.endeer.cz/bios.tools/thinkpad-biosmod.html

Re: Anybody have experience with BIOS modding on thinkpads?
well that tutorial works on T40 series, which is ancient 
the bios structure has vastly changed from then to now. X220 has uefi/bios hybrid system. When I decompose the bios executable, I get 3 main files, one ending in FL1, the others ending in FL2 and HSH. Which is the main bios file to be flashed/modified?
EDIT
I see on that site, he does address new structure of the new BIOS types, this is awesome! Thanks!
