Libreboot release 6 beta 5.
- build: added 'luks', 'lvm', 'cmosdump' and 'cmostest' to the list of
modules for grub.elf
- Documentation: added pics showing T60 unbricking (still need to
write a tutorial)
- build: include cmos.layout
(coreboot/src/mainboard/manufacturer/model/cmos.layout) files in
libreboot_bin
- Documentation: added ../docs/howtos/x60tablet_unbrick.html
- Documentation: added ../docs/howtos/t60_unbrick.html
- Documentation: added ../docs/howtos/t60_lcd_15.html
- Documentation: added ../docs/howtos/t60_security.html
- Documentation: added ../docs/howtos/t60_heatsink.html
- Documentation: Renamed RELEASE.html to release.html
- Documentation: removed pcmcia reference in x60_security.html (it's
cardbus)
- Documentation: added preliminary information about randomized seal
(for physical intrusion detection) in x60_security.html and
t60_security.html
- Documentation: added preliminary information about
preventing/mitigating cold-boot attack in x60_security.html and
t60_security.html
- Documentation: added info to ../docs/index.html#macbook21 warning
about issues with macbook21
- Documentation: X60/T60: added information about checking custom
ROM's using dd to see whether or not the top 64K region is
duplicated below top or not. Advise caution about this in the
tutorial that deals with flashing on top of Lenovo BIOS, citing the
correct dd commands necessary if it is confirmed that the ROM has
not been applied with dd yet. (in the case that the user compiled
their own ROM's from libreboot, without using the build scripts, or
if they forgot to use dd, etc).
- Split resources/libreboot/patch/gitdiff into separate patch files
(getcb script updated to accomodate this change).
- Re-added .git files to bucts
- Fixed the oversight where macbook21_firstflash wasn't included in
binary archives

Or, maybe, you set BUC.TS to 0 and shut down after first flash while Lenovo BIOS was running. In any case, your machine is bricked and will not boot at all. + </p> + <p> + "Unbricking" means flashing a known-good (working) ROM. The problem: you can't boot the machine, making this difficult. In this situation, external hardware (see hardware requirements above) is needed which can flash the SPI chip (where libreboot resides). + </p> + + <p> + <img src="x60t_unbrick/0000.JPG" alt="" /> + </p> + + <p> + Remove those screws:<br/> + <img src="x60t_unbrick/0001.JPG" alt="" /> + </p> + + <p> + Remove the HDD:<br/> + <img src="x60t_unbrick/0002.JPG" alt="" /> + </p> + + <p> + Push keyboard forward to loosen it:<br/> + <img src="x60t_unbrick/0003.JPG" alt="" /> + </p> + + <p> + Lift:<br/> + <img src="x60t_unbrick/0004.JPG" alt="" /> + </p> + + <p> + Remove those:<br/> + <img src="x60t_unbrick/0005.JPG" alt="" /> + </p> + + <p> + + <img src="x60t_unbrick/0006.JPG" alt="" /> + </p> + + <p> + Also remove that (marked) and unroute the antenna cables:<br/> + <img src="x60t_unbrick/0007.JPG" alt="" /> + </p> + + <p> + Some X60T's you have to unroute those too:<br/> + <img src="x60t_unbrick/0010.JPG" alt="" /> + </p> + + <p> + Remove the LCD extend board screws.

And it worked.<br/> + + Here is the pinout (correlate it with your programmer's documentation):<br/> + <img src="x60t_unbrick/0011.JPG" alt="" /><br/> + (SPI chip here is on the bottom of the board) + </p> + + <p> + Bus pirate:<br/> + <img src="x60_unbrick/0019.jpg" alt="" /> + </p> + + <p> + Pomona 5250:<br/> + <img src="x60_unbrick/0020.jpg" alt="" /> + </p> + + <p> + Connect pomona:<br/> + <img src="x60_unbrick/0022.jpg" alt="" /> + </p> + + <p> + Connect pirate to USB on 2nd computer:<br/> + <img src="x60_unbrick/0024.jpg" alt="" /> + </p> + + <p> + Pirate is active:<br/> + <img src="x60_unbrick/0023.jpg" alt="" /> + </p> + + <p> + <img src="x60_unbrick/0025.jpg" alt="" /> + </p> + + <p> + On the 2nd machine, I did: <b>flashrom -p buspirate_spi:dev=/dev/ttyUSB0 -w bin/x60t/libreboot_ukqwerty.rom</b> + </p> + + <pre> + flashrom v0.9.5.2-r1517 on Linux 3.2.0-61-generic (i686), built with libpci 3.1.8, GCC 4.6.3, little endian + flashrom is free software, get the source code at http://www.flashrom.org + + Calibrating delay loop... delay loop is unreliable, trying to continue OK. + Found Macronix flash chip "MX25L1605" (2048 kB, SPI) on buspirate_spi. + Reading old flash chip contents... done. + Erasing and writing flash chip...
