Hello,

I see you made all the flash regions read-write. This means region
protections should not be a problem to use flashrom.

AFAIK, this means flashing internally a complete image may not work.
However, if you only want to restore the EFI variables region, you
should tell flashrom to only write to the EFI variables region (which
I imagine is not write-protected) using a layout file. Since you know
the rest of the firmware is working properly, it is safer to only
change what is not working.

Best regards,
