Hello,

I tried to flash the 8 MB Chip on my X230, but it didn't worked out.

I've dd'ed the first 8MB of the coreboot.rom file with the above command and 
flashed it on the 8MB chip, but when booting my machine only illuminated the 
on-off-button for a second before it dies.

When reflashing the 8MB chip with the stock image which I grabbed before will 
bring my laptop back to life. As such it seems that there must be another was 
two flash both chips and to strip the coreboot.rom image.

Any ideas what went wrong?
As all howto's I've found so far, which cover the flashing of only the upper 4 
MB Chip, the question is also, if someone has already flashed both chips and 
what (s)he did to make it work.
