That's strange. I have tried rewriting the firmware so I COULD provide you the text file... It froze after couple complaints of 4-byte RDID not found (it just ignored that before), and I tried just "flashrom", same thing. Now that's a can of worm. It was 100% successful - verified and signed. Now I am somewhat confused. I may have to wait for a while (thankfully I still have a Windows laptop so I could write up the report on progresses of the firmware ROM.)
