Uh oh. Erase/write failed. Checking if anything changed.
Good. It seems nothing was changed.
Writing to the flash chip apparently didn't do anything.
This means we have to add special support for your board, programmer or 
flash
chip. Please report this on IRC at chat.freenode.net (channel #flashrom) or
mail [e-mail], thanks!

flashrom does indeed show some warnings, however there are good bits too:

Good bits:
> flashrom v0.9.7-r1711 on Linux 3.14.2-1-ARCH (x86_64)
> Found chipset "Intel H77". Enabling flash write...

Warnings:
> Warning: BIOS region SMM protection is enabled!

Good bits:
> Found Winbond flash chip "W25Q64.V" (8192 kB, SPI) at physical address 0xff800000.
> Reading old flash chip contents... done.

Warnings:
> Verifying flash... FAILED at 0x00002000! Expected=0x46, Found=0xff, failed
> byte count from 0x00000000-0x007fffff: 0x1dd50

Then on to the console output from writing:
> [benneti@TiProdigy ~]$ sudo flashrom --programmer internal -f -w '/home/benneti/flashed.rom'
> flashrom v0.9.7-r1711 on Linux 3.14.2-1-ARCH (x86_64)
