Maybe just a last question. Is it possible to flash a .wph BIOS-file with flashrom? Furthermore I have read something about that the BIOS-file has to be the same size like the chip. This is not the case for me. Can someone help?
flashrom does not care about the contents of the files you fed it at all, hence they must be prepared first. usually this is done by cutting out headers or footers. in the case of wph it is likely that you can cut everything away that is larger than your flash chip AFAIK.

If you took the chip from a laptop, with a soldering iron, removing the trailer with 'dd' will likely work. To split off the first megabyte, run: dd if=<romfile> of=<trimmed_file>.bin bs=1024k count=1 See http://flashrom.org/Laptop_enable
