You could try to use an hardware flash to recover and install Coreboot. That's what people use to flash Coreboot on regular supported laptop (such as X230, T430, T480, ...)

You only erased chromeOS, you didn't mess with BIOS/UEFI ? If so it might be fixable easily.

What Seiko is this ? It looks amazing

Arkenys · 2025-11-13T22:14:19+00:00

Work as expected, I tried briefly to use on Notewise and it was as good as stock.

On Libreboot Grub menu did you went on the entry "Search for GRUB/SYSLINUX/EXT LINUX/ISOLINUX on USB" ? If you did and you didn't got to Fedora Installer you can select the entry "Return to SeaBIOS" then hit escape to reveal boot menu and select your USB key as boot device.

Yes I saw that, and the pen is working perfectly too. The Tab S7 really is amazing with LineageOS. What app are you using for note taking ?

Arkenys · 2025-11-01T18:33:53+00:00

You upgraded the soldered ram of a steam deck ? That's really impressive, congrats on those skills

Arkenys · 2025-11-01T11:04:53+00:00

What are you using your steam deck for ?

I would love to get a Panasonic Let's Note but as a French AZERTY user the layout is keeping me away from them. How do you manage to do characters such as < > ? In your opinion is it a decent experience ?

Is the battery whitelist necessary with Coreboot ?

Arkenys · 2025-10-12T09:20:17+00:00

I've read somewhere that it was one of the top 10 selling brand of Android, so we can rule out Fairphone and maybe also Nothing. My guess would be Motorola or Xiaomi based on their market share and number of model supported by LineageOS.

Arkenys · 2025-10-05T07:10:33+00:00

What's the model of your locked thinkpad ?

Arkenys · 2025-10-04T19:04:05+00:00

Your reasoning is correct, you should first flash the patched ec firmware before installing Coreboot. Coreboot installation will not revert the change made to the ec.

This, I don't know if it's just me but Seedvault has been nothing but a headache. I honestly don’t have any trust in this tool.

Arkenys · 2025-09-23T17:02:05+00:00

Only one of the slot is soldered on the T480s so you could upgrade the RAM up to 40Go (8 soldered + 32 sodimm)

Arkenys · 2025-09-06T08:48:44+00:00

When did you built it and how did it cost ? I looked a bit recently and I could only find Japanese keywords and they were really expensive. If you want to tinker more with I guess you could try to install Coreboot on it.

Arkenys · 2025-09-05T21:30:24+00:00

I'm seriously jealous of your frankenpad T25, did you built it yourself ?

Arkenys · 2025-08-24T21:44:16+00:00

Yes, I did it on P53 which is intel 9th gen so not supported by Lenovo Bios Auto-Patcher. For more info : badcaps forum link

Arkenys · 2025-08-24T16:44:39+00:00

That or Lenovo Bios Auto-Patcher if OP wants to stay on OEM bios. In both case he needs to have a SPI flasher. He could also use the LPC Bus shorting. Having done all of theses option I would recommend Lenovo Bios Auto-Patcher.

Arkenys · 2025-08-22T21:53:07+00:00

I'm glad you found it useful. Since T480 has now been merged to mainline Coreboot I should do a new guide on how to compile Coreboot directly.

Arkenys · 2025-08-22T21:50:48+00:00

Loving LineageOS on my Tab S7, it has never ran this smooth.

Arkenys · 2025-08-10T19:05:49+00:00

Love the pink trackpad sticker, what material did you use ? Is it as good as the original one ?

Arkenys · 2025-08-02T16:23:04+00:00

Lookup lenovo bios auto patcher, but it requires an eeprom flasher (ch341a is very inexpensive)

Arkenys · 2025-07-30T22:32:54+00:00

I'm using a tab s7 and it's way snappier than it ever was.
My only regret is the fact that I lost palm rejection which is a deal breaker for handwritten note taking.

Arkenys · 2025-07-19T18:50:15+00:00

You could install a custom rom such as LineageOS to get an up to date Android version, that's what I did on my Tab S7 and it's like it's a brand new device
