you should first try to find and use flashing tools provided by your
mainboard vendor.

The error you've seen from flashrom is most common when there is some
kind of write protection implemented on your board (sometimes it's a
physical jumper or switch, sometimes it's controlled by a GPIO of the
southbridge or super-i/o chip). If you can't use your board vendor's
tools, please tell what board you have exactly and send a full log
taken with: flashrom -p internal -o logfile.txt
