Looking at the output from Googles ChromeOS shell-ball, I do:

Write the hardware ID to get future ChromeOS updates

$ ./gbb_utility --set --hwid="SAMUS XXX-YYY-ZZZ" bios.bin bios.hwid.bin

# dd out 2 megs of the ROM at 4 megs in

$ dd bs=1M skip=4 count=2 if=bios.hwid.bin of=rwlegacy.cbfs

Using the flashrom from John's site as upstream doesn't know anything about flashmap.

$ wget https://johnlewis.ie/Chromebook-ROMs/utils/flashrom -O flashrom.jlewis

$ sudo ./flashrom.jlewis -w -i RW_LEGACY:rwlegacy.cbfs

Looking at your script, ORIGIMAGE is my bios.hwid.bin

Do I run flashrom from the shell-ball

$ sudo flashrom -w ./newimage.rom -i RW_LEGACY

Or John Lewis flashrom

$ sudo flashrom.jlewis.version -w ./newimage.rom -i RW_LEGACY
