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!
> Warning: Setting Bios Control at 0xdc from 0x2a to 0x0b on H77 failed.
> Warning: SPI Configuration Lockdown activated.
> PROBLEMS, continuing anyway

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 at 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)

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

Warnings:
> Erasing and writing flash chip... Transaction error!
> spi_block_erase_20 failed during command execution at address 0x180000
> Reading current flash chip contents... done. spi_block_erase_52 failed

> FAILED!
> Uh oh. Erase/write failed. Checking if anything changed.

Good bits:
> Good. It seems nothing was changed.
> Writing to the flash chip apparently didn't do anything.
