Hello flashrom developers,
I'm having trouble disabling write-protection on my Samsung Arm Chromebook. So far I've removed the metallic sticker covering the "write-protect screw hole" according to the pictures on the Chromium wiki http://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/developer-information-for-chrome-os-devices/samsung-arm-chromebook. On the Snow board, this hole ships with no screw in it. As root in developer mode, the output of flashrom -v is "flashrom v0.9.4 : 4169bc8 ...". The first time I ran flashrom --wp-disable, I got a message saying the operation FAILED with error=1. At that point I took the board apart again and cleaned the write-protect screw hole with q-tips dipped in rubbing alcohol. When I reassembled the Chromebook and tried again with flashrom -V --wp-disable, the last few lines I receive are:
w25_set_srp0: old status: 0xb8 w25_set_srp0: new status: 0xb8 w25q_disable_writeprotect(): error=1. No -i argument is specified, set ignore_fmap. FAILED restore_power_management(): Power management enabled
As you can see, I can't seem to disable write protection on this chip. I'm running stock ChromeOS. Any idea what I might be doing wrong? Thanks in advance.
