Re: FAILED: Joshua-H61-uATX

Hello Zack, your message got filtered because of the attachment. We have a limit of 200KiB for this mailing list because things are sent to a lot of people. I've scaled the image down. Regarding your problem, I don't think it is IME related. A locked region would already make trouble during the initial read. There are likely additional protections by your BIOS in effect. A full log might give us more information. If you append `-o logfile.txt` to your command that logfile would get written. For the moment I suggest you to try to write a backup back if you made one. It's possible that flashrom didn't write anything, but we don't know.

Help !
by Guillaume Rallon 11 Mar '22

11 Mar '22

Hello, I request your help for a little problem. I try to unbrick my MSI Gaming 5 Z97 motherboard, using flashrom using a raspberry Pi 4b vi the JSPI1 port. I plugged it like this : Hold 0V o o WP 3.3V x o o o GND CLK o o CS SI-SO o o SO-SI o o VCC The plugin seems to be good as Flashrom detects the chipset as a Winbond W25Q64.V The battery of the mother board is removed, no other external current source plugged. When I launch the writing sequence everything goes flawlessly and the problem appears during the flash verification. I receive this message : Verifying flash... FAILED at 0x00000014! Expected=0x03, Found=0x02, failed byte count from 0x00000000-0x007fffff: 0x3d6c96 Your flash chip is in an unknown state. I tried to put HOLD at 3.3V and let the CMOS battery but it is always the same message. Maybe my chipset has an internal defect ? If yes, I think I can buy a new chip and solder it but it's a brutal solution ;) I would really be pleased if you could give me at least a clue. Best regards Guillaume RALLON The whole messages are below : flashrom -p linux_spi:dev=/dev/spidev0.0,spispeed=512 -w /home/Yogiadmin/flashrom/E7917IMS.190 flashrom v1.2-644-g79e2bd0 on Linux 5.10.92-v8+ (aarch64) flashrom is free software, get the source code at https://flashrom.org Using clock_gettime for delay loops (clk_id: 1, resolution: 1ns).

Erase Failed - MX25L12805D, MX25L12835F/...
by dean rooney 09 Mar '22

09 Mar '22

Hello, I am trying to fix a bricked motherboard (Z170A Mpower Gaming Titanium). The motherboard does have a MX25L12873F (not seen on your supported list) but does have the MX25L12805D and MX25L12835F/MX25L12845E/MX25L12865E as similar chips. I am using flashrom on a Raspberry Pi 3 and had gotten quite far using the forums until I came across "ERASE FAILED". I am able to read the chip, but I am unable to write as it has this Erase Failed appears every time. I'm not sure if there is a work around. I've seen the -f force erase but I'm not aware how to use this function. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Kind Regards, Dean

Questions About Flashrom Of Gsoc
by Hui Xiang 09 Mar '22

09 Mar '22

Dear Sir/Madam, I hope you are well today when you receive this email. My name is Hui Xiang, and I am a University of Manchester Electrical and Electronic Engineering student. This summer, I would like to join Google Summer of Code. The Flashrom Project caught my eyes after I went through all the projects of GSoC. In my school project, I am now working on the NUCLEO-F401RE(STM32). I can programme in C and C++, as well as assembly language. From the file of GSoC project ideas, I really like the idea of "Design and implement new CLI based on libflashrom and enhance the API as needed". For the Flashrom project, I would like to make contributions on some API. What resources can I use to learn more about it? What skills do I need to improve to get accepted from Flashrom? Thank you for looking into this for me. Best Regards, Hui

Seems to work well with an in-house prototype board + the olimex jtag probe and some hacked in wiring. Log file of a write is attached.

[MT25QU256] Tested probe, read, write and erase through ft2232_spi programmer
by Charles Parent 08 Mar '22

08 Mar '22

Hello, First thank you a lot for your amazing work on flashrom, I just discovered this software and it saved me a lot of time lately ! I use it to flash a MT25QU256 through a FTDI4233H, and as software is telling me that this chip is labelled as untested I would like to send you the logs showing that it works indeed. Here are logs for both reading and writing / erasing. I also did varius tests, filling the EEPROM with arbitrary values and reading back to see everything was working. Please do not hesitate if you need more details ! Best regards, Charles Parent Software Engineer charles.parent(a)orolia2s.com<mailto:jean-arnold.chenilleau@orolia.com> [cid:755255d5-41f3-4c56-848c-a82a0d12ea1a] France, Sèvres 6, rue Troyon 92310 Sèvres
