@tapatalk06 - We can’t see your images, can you please attach them using the forum software via edit or advanced/full reply, or upload to image host like imgur.com

I need to see image of the actual error when you try to use card. And, what is your BIOS Dump, how did you dump this? Same for BIOS Backup, what did you backup with?
Please link stock BIOS download as well, Lenovo’s link please


I am using Universal BIOS Backup ToolKit 2.0. and backup tools19n
https://download.lenovo.com/consumer/mobiles/78cn25ww.exe
Can you see image?

Yes, I can see images now, thanks, but I don’t need to see those images since they aren’t relevant to the issues at hand.

I also don’t think either of those backups will help, at least I know Universal backup one wont except if you need info from it later for recovery. I’ve not heard of the other, but the only relevant backup needed here is one you can actually flash back.
Can you flash the tools19n backup with anything you know of, if yes, what tool flashes it? Main goal here is to find what you can flash mod BIOS with, if the stock flasher (Insydeflash) fails and can’t be edited to make it flash (I probably can edit it’s files, but there may be easier method to flash mod BIOS)
Intel Flash Programming Tool (FPT) is one I prefer to use when possible.

Here’s how to do FPT backup - Check BIOS main page and see if ME FW version is shown, if not then download HWINFO64 and on the large window on left side, expand motherboard and find ME area, inside that get the ME Firmware version. Once you have that, go to this thread and in the section “C” download the matching ME System Tools Package (ie if ME FW version = 10.x get V10 package, if 9.0-9.1 get V9.1 package, if 9.5 or above get V9.5 package etc)
Intel Management Engine: Drivers, Firmware & System Tools

Once downloaded, inside you will find Flash Programming Tool folder, and inside that a Windows or Win/Win32 folder. Select that Win folder, hold shift and press right click, choose open command window here (Not power shell).
At the command prompt type the following command and send me the created file to modify >> FPTw.exe -bios -d biosreg.bin

If you are stuck on Win10 with no “Open Command Window Here” following the above directions, here’s how to get it back

And finally, please show me image of the error you get when you try to use card that’s blocked.

Intel ME Recovery Image Version: 8.1, Build 1248

i need to download this?

Yes, if you found your ME FW Version is 8.xxx then yes you need ME System Tools V8 package.

However, ME Recovery Image Version: 8.1, Build 1248 may or may not be current ME FW, I’m not sure where you found this info? Please check ME FW exactly how I mentioned

I found this, correct one ? Sorry my english is bad

I’m not getting an error message. Wifi card seen in boot menu but ı am open windows10 wifi does not seen.

@tapatalk06 - Then this sounds more like a windows 10 driver issue, not a BIOS whitelist issue. When card is blocked by BIOS Whitelist, an error message is shown on screen and you cannot boot past that, until you remove the card, so you’d never get into windows with the device connected.
Yes, that is correct ME info you showed in image, you need V8 ME System Tools Package. I can’t remove whitelist easily without knowing the error, but I can try to find. It wont help to do this though, since you’re not getting a whitelist error.
I will look at your BIOS dumped above, give me a little bit of time to check -

*Edit - I found the whitelist and you would be getting an error message you couldn’t boot past if this was the issue >> Unauthorized Wireless network card is plugged in. Power off and remove it


@Lost_N_BIOS How do I change the wifi card? Will you delete the white list? Thank you for reviewing bios

@tapatalk06 - Change wifi card physically, remove old, insert new This is a Win10/driver issue, try Win7 and see if you get same, then you know it’s Win10 issue.
Since you can see it in BIOS, and boot past POST Screen to windows, this is not blocked by whitelist. Did you install the Win10 drivers for this card? Are you sure this card works, did you test it in another system recently so you know it’s working and not faulty?
Bypass whitelist will not change anything here, you are not being stopped by whitelist, otherwise if you were you would not be able to boot to windows or BIOS

Hi! i have the same problem white list in wifi can you remove it ? here is the link of my bios dump
