So I ordered 5 blank rom chips and they arrived today at my place. So i decided to experiment with them right away. As you can guess i do not have access to a rom writer device or whatever you call these machines. So i have to rely on hotflashing. I first read the original bios from the rom chip (http://merlin.ugent.be/~samuel/dl145g3/bios_rom/original_bios.bin) Pulled out the chip (pushpin method works great), dropped in a replacement, erased it (flashrom -E), tried to write the original one in it (flashrom -wv original_bios.bin) but the last step always ends with a "FAILED": r...@kopiluwak ~/bios/flashrom # ./flashrom -wv ../original_bios.bin Calibrating delay loop... OK. No coreboot table found. Found chipset "Broadcom HT-1000", enabling flash write... OK. Found chip "SST SST49LF080A" (1024 KB) at physical address 0xfff00000. Flash image seems to be a legacy BIOS. Disabling checks. Programming page: 0250 at address: 0x000fa000 Verifying flash... FAILED at 0x000f0000! Expected=0x00, Read=0xff So I'm a bit stuck... Seems like there are motherboards that need special modifications of flashrom to actually work? I assume Mondrian has a rom writer device thing, so you prolly didn't encounter this problem. But if you did... or if you have a clue on what is going wrong???
