necessary to unsolder the chip, was it not possible to program it
using flashrom from Linux command line instead?
It may be possible. the main problem is the lenovo bios update. It's
still unknown how it's updating the rom. But the lenovo protects the
bios region from writing. AFAIK there is a *scratch* region writeable
possible for bios updates.

This guy succeeded in (software) flashing a modified Embedded
Controller firmware bypassing the crc checksum. I wonder if a similar
method could be employed to flash the BIOS portion as well
