flashrom FAILED

[Bálint Boldizsár Varga]

Dear Team!

I got an error while librebooting my thinkpad x200.

The error message was:
Verifying flash... FAILED at 0x0003a709! Expected=0xb8, Found=0x80, failed
byte count from 0x00000000-0x007fffff: 0x124fYour flash chip is in an
unknown state.

I used this command:
./flashrom -p linux_spi:dev=/dev/spidev0.0,spispeed=128 -w
/home/pi/x200/x200_8mb_deqwertz_vesafb.rom -V -c MX25L6405D

I followed the instructions of this reddit post:
https://www.reddit.com/r/libreboot/comments/7dajn6/x200_libreboot_tutorial_f...

Should I retry the flashrom?

Thank you in advance!

what's the length of your cables between a programmer and a flash
chip, and the overall connection quality? also I'd suggest a simpler
programmer like ch341a (preferably a green PCB version), just make
sure its' voltage is 3.3V
