Lenovo T430 . successful battery validation removal

[Lucaacer]

Not an issue, but I suppose it may be useful for someone.

I was on Bios 2,82, i.e. the first non modifiable. I reverted to windows and with the Lenovo official tool, after downloading the image of an older bios (2.79) I applied it. Easy peasy, nothing more than accepting what was being suggested.

Then I created the patched image with a linux pc. Since i did not need the keyboard patch but only the patch to turn off battery validation, before building the image I wrote

sudo make patch_disable_keyboard clean
sudo make patch_enable_battery clean

Then I made the usb with

sudo dd if=patched.t430.img of=/dev/sda bs=4M status=progress conv=fsync

In a few minutes I was able to boot the T430 from the usb and to enjoy my new Green cell battery,

Thanks a lot.
