The ID bytes are reading as FF's. Double check your connections http://flashrom.org/RaspberryPi and ensure that the C720 is completely powered off (disconnect both the battery and the AC power).

Hi,
I am trying to unbrick latest Acer C720 with flashrom. What I have already done:
- Created ROM image successfully for writing with flashrom;
- Connected wires from Raspberry Pi to EEPROM chip on C720.
- Enabled kernel modules and tested with spidev_test (it returns data,
looks normal - not all 00's or FF's)
- Download latest flashrom from svn and compiled.
- Then executed: ./flashrom -VVV -p linux_spi:dev=/dev/spidev0.0
After a lot output it said to me:
Found Generic flash chip "unknown SPI chip (RDID)" (0 kB, SPI) on linux_spi. Probing for Generic unknown SPI chip (REMS), 0 kB: REMS returned 0xff 0xff. probe_spi_rems: id1 0xff, id2 0xff Found Generic flash chip "unknown SPI chip (RDID)" (0 kB, SPI). === This flash part has status NOT WORKING for operations: PROBE READ ERASE WRITE The test status of this chip may have been updated in the latest development version of flashrom. If you are running the latest development version, please email a report to flashrom@flashrom.org if any of the above operations work correctly for you with this flash chip. Please include the flashrom log file for all operations you tested (see the man page for details), and mention which mainboard or programmer you tested in the subject line. Thanks for your help! No operations were specified.
I saw that sometimes chip numbers are not entered to the flashrom source, maybe it's the same case? I think I have read all sites I found on Google about unbricking acer c720. What I should try next?
Some details:
- Ubuntu 14 OS on Raspberry Pi B version.
- Acer chromebook c720 (model no: zhn)
Please help me solve the issue. I am attaching complete log command: ./flashrom -VVV -p linux_spi:dev=/dev/spidev0.0 > log
