For those who don't like the restrictions Lenovo put on their system, here's a BIOS mod that will get you back at least some of the freedom you should have over your own hardware.
Features:
- WLAN card whitelist removed, any (hardware-wise compatible) card should now work
- hidden BIOS menus unlocked
- VBIOS tweaked for more performance and better tuning possibilities
Keep in mind that not necessarily all of the BIOS options available with this mod will be fully functional, so use the new available settings with care.
If you're unsure about something don't change it and ask here, someone might be able to help.
Available for v1.07 / v1.09 / v1.10 and v3.05.
v2.04 and v2.07 added (only whitelist removal as for now)
If you have a different BIOS (or more specific, a BIOS newer than 3.05) I will need a copy of it in order to make it work for your system.
Instructions for flashing the modified BIOS v3.05:
You need a USB stick prepared to run DOS, here is a guide you can follow in case you don't know how to do this:
Guide by @StamatisX - thanks!
This is a simple way to make a USB flash drive bootable (i.e. if you want to flash your VBIOS)
First download the attachment from below and extract it (i.e. on your Desktop)
bootable_disk.zip
Install the program and once done run it as administrator otherwise it will give you an error (right click on it and run as administrator)
Insert the USB flash disk you want to use as a bootable device
make sure you have the following selected
and press on the button with the 3 dots in order to define the location of the needed files (basically where you chose to unzip the file you downloaded)
Press start and after a while you are all set
>>> Before continuing make sure the AC adapter is connected to your laptop and your battery has at least 20% charge remaining. <<<
- (0) - NOTE: This step is Only necessary if your system isn't already using BIOS v3.05
Update to the official v3.05 BIOS provided by Lenovo
. - (1) - Create a backup of your own BIOS (now v3.05) by using Fptw64 tool.
Extract the files and run the included .bat file from an admin command prompt.
. - (2) - Download Lenovo_Y510p-Y410p_[v3.05]_modified.zip and put the files of folder [1] to the root of your prepared USB DOS stick.
Let the BiosFixer prepare your BIOS for flashing by drag and dropping your backup file on it. Put the created "v305mod.bin" file to the root of your USB DOS drive as well.
. - (3) - Now you need to downgrade the firmware back to v2.07 (Y510p-Y410p_v207_[stock].zip) in order to flash the mod.
. - (4) - Boot from your USB DOS drive, when you see the command prompt type BIOS and hit enter. Wait until the BIOS is flashed (you can safely ignore warnings about non-existing regions).
. - (5) - Once the BIOS flash completed with no errors, type EC and hit enter. Wait until the EC is flashed. Then reboot.
. - (6) - Go to the BIOS setup menu, load the default settings, apply and reboot.
Done. In case you're using an ultra bay GPU follow the instructions in post #2 and flash the vbios..
NOTE: It's crucial that you flash both, BIOS and EC. Having different EC and BIOS versions can in certain situations lead to issues.
IMPORTANT: If you want to go back to stock v3.05 you can do that easily by simply using the official update from Lenovo. That's it, nothing additional required in this case.
Old instructions for users with v1.07 / v1.09 / v1.10 or v2.04 / v2.07 who for some reasons don't want to update to v3.05:

目前中文网站上的资源基本都报废了（不但看着还没英文原版明了……而且都没更新），英文原帖的附件需要权限。最后放狗搜到wheresmykeyboard.com这个网站的老哥在mega上分享了一份，本着抢救珍稀资源的目的分享了一份。
详细流程请参考techinferno的原帖。https://www.techinferno.com/index.php?/topic/3546-lenovo-y410p-y510p-unlocked-bios-wlan-whitelist-mod-vbios-mod/。
说一下简单流程，不清楚参考原教程：
0.根据bootable_disk里面的win98_files，拿u盘做个dos启动盘，操作步骤参考原帖的图。bootable_disk里面还有个sp补丁，没用的，不用管，用不着。
1.Lenovo_Y510p-Y410p_[v3.05]_modified的[1]里面的东西丢启动盘根目录
2.先确保bios版本是3.05，用fptw64备份，备份得到的文件有用。现在最新的bios是3.08，我没刷过，所以没有怎么搞3.08的烦恼。我记得不知道哪儿看到过说要在bios里面打开允许刷新低版本的选项然后刷回3.05。仅供参考。
3.上面备份出来的bios用Lenovo_Y510p-Y410p_[v3.05]_modified的[2]里面的BiosFixer_2.0处理一下。方法是运行了然后把bios文件拖上去。生成的v305mod.bin文件丢启动盘根目录
4.用【Y510p-Y410p_v207_[stockBIOS]】从3.05降到2.07（官方bios），你不强制断电就应该没无风险
5.刚才的启动盘插本子上，关机，重新开机，然后设置从u盘启动。破解dos启动本子，开始烧香祈祷不出大事。别忘了插好电源。
6.输入bios，运行，等完成
7.输入ec，运行，等完成。然后会自动关机重启一两次，别急，我也不知道如果这时候心急按电源键会怎么样。（按说没啥事）。最后会回到windows。我的是win10
8.这是原帖推荐步骤：进bios，恢复设置。我不知道有啥用，照抄
9.完结，接下来怎么折腾都和教程无关了。
