Hello Nikolay,
we will help you.
This is a very odd system. We have to check the available BIOS update for a mainboard enable and/or a chipset enable. BIOS download is here: http://europe.asrock.com/downloadsite/bios/775/775Twins-HDTV(2.10).zip
If you created bios.bak before the first write operation, you can use a simple check to see if anything changed:
flashrom -Vv bios.bak If that command prints no errors, the flash chip is unchanged. If it prints some errors, it means we have to recover in software.
It looks like your write log was cut off (no error message visible). Do you still have the error messages?
It would be a good idea to test latest flashrom from svn which may work on your board.

We prefer you to use a recent superiotool version obtained from the subversion repository using
$ svn co svn://coreboot.org/coreboot/trunk/util/superiotool $ cd superiotool $ make $ sudo make install
This will give us enough information to make sense of the bits mentioned above and add support for that mainboard in flashrom.

Thank you very much for help. Sorry for late reply. BIOS ROM was not modified, so command:
~# flashrom -Vv bios.bak
shows no error and reboot was successful.
Yes, this is very odd system, especially PXE ROM. So I was managed to replace PXE code with gPXE for successful network booting. Reflashing from DOS with vendors tool was successful, but with flashrom version 0.9.1+r946-1ubuntu1 was not.
As you suggests I build superiotool on this computer and run it:
~$ sudo superiotool -deV 2>&1 | tee superiotool.log Results here: http://pastebin.com/YAA6nwdh
How can I help this great flashrom project? I have around 7 types of motherboards here at university.
