Ahh I see, so "Permission denied" is not in all caps (which would have looked like a flashrom error message). I bet this is shell complaining because the script isn't executable. Try running: chmod a+x cros-flash-replace before running it an everything should work fine. Maybe it would be worth mentioning on the installation page. > >> Den 2015-12-04 kl. 23:49, skrev Albin: > >>> Hi. > >>> > >>> Tonight I tried to install libreboot onto an ASOS C201.
