## What it is
1vyrain is a bootable LiveUSB exploit chain that unlocks hidden BIOS features on Ivy Bridge-based xx30 ThinkPad laptops via software flashing. It removes WiFi whitelists, enables the advanced menu, and supports overclocking and custom BIOS images like coreboot.

## Use cases
- remove wifi whitelist on thinkpad t430 x230
- unlock advanced bios menu on xx30 thinkpad
- overclock ivy bridge cpu in thinkpad
- flash coreboot on thinkpad without hardware programmer
- softmod thinkpad bios from linux usb
- enable custom fan curve and tdp settings on thinkpad

## When to choose
- you own a compatible xx30 ThinkPad and want whitelist removal or advanced BIOS options without opening the machine
- you want to install coreboot, skulls, or heads via software instead of an external SPI programmer

## When to avoid
- your ThinkPad model or BIOS version is not on the compatibility list
- you cannot tolerate any risk of a botched flash requiring a hardware programmer to recover
- you need support or a warranty - the project provides none
