Read the following two wiki pages, there you'll find out more about why we strongly discourage running flashrom on laptops/mobile hardware. http://flashrom.org/Laptops http://flashrom.org/Laptop_enable

But there is something else in your log that is interesting to us: the locked ME region. Which mainboard model is that? -- Kind regards/Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Stefan Tauner

FAILED: MS-7302
by Miloud Malagouen 19 Jul '12

19 Jul '12

Dear Sir, I bricked a MSI MS-7302 motherboard with a bad coreboot image. I'm trying to flash the bios with a C232HM-DDHSL-0 FTDI USB cable<http://www.ftdichip.com/Products/Cables/USBMPSSE.htm>using the MSI JSPI1 Header <http://www.coreboot.org/MSI_JSPI1> present on the board for SPI connection. The FTDI cable uses a FT232H chip witch is capable of providing a USB to SPI, I2C or JTAG interface. The FTDI D2XX Linux driver cited that the FT232H chip has type number 6 (while the FT4232H has type 5), so i had to modify the file */usr/include/ftdi.h* and change the ftdi_chip_type enumeration definition: /** FTDI chip type */ enum ftdi_chip_type { TYPE_AM=0, TYPE_BM=1, TYPE_2232C=2, TYPE_R=3, TYPE_2232H=4, TYPE_4232H=5,*TYPE_232H=6* }; I had to add support to the FT232H chip (vid=0403 pid=6014) in the * ft2232_spi* programmer of flashrom. I's very simple.

So if restoring the backup ROM worked am I safe to power cycle my machine? Any ideas on what would be wrong with that ROM? Thanks...

I was able to write the backup and run verify and it worked. I still haven't and won't restart my machine. After restoring the backup, I tried again with the new BIOS and got the same error/issue. I was able to backup yet again without issue. So I'm guessing it's more of a problem with the ROM image than the program writing the ROM. I've attached the ROM to see if that provides any insight. Thanks again for the help!
