You can now press OK on the PhoenixTool popup. It will repack your bios and after a while you will find LENOVO-9ACN26WW_SLIC.rom besides the backup one in the workspace folder.

Thanks for you awesome guide! you should add in #1 the .bak autobackup uncheck and the sleep trip :)

thanks again
 
I was able to downgrade to 26, mod, then upgrade to 32, mod, downgrade to 26 and upgrade again to a modded 32 version, I noticed something odd, the bios would show 9acn32ww but the EC would show 9bcn26ww, I remember that before the modding everything would match on BIOS and EC version. I don't see any odd behavior so far.

I have made it to the last step that involves flashing, but I get an error when I run FPTw64.

Error 201: [FPTw64.exe] cannot be run on the current platform. Please contact the vendor.

I am on Windows 10. Do I need a different version of the program, and if I do, can you provide it? Or do I need to use some other method?

Have you tried other ig-platform-id values?

Sorry if I missed this in the thread, but where would I find which ig-platform-id to use and where do I set this setting?

You can extract the valid ig-platform-id values from the kext binary itself. If you search, you will probably find where I posted a list. Not near my main computer right now, so I don't have the file...
