Tell us your motherboard model etc, so that we can learn more about
the possible recovery options just in case. Maybe you can get a dirt
cheap (2 dollar) flashrom-supported programmer like CH341A (green
PCB), remove a chip using a PLCC clip, insert to a programmer, backup
the contents and then do
"only firm can do" - of course not true, you just need to get the
hardware tools for yourself. Luckily, the cheapest programmer
supported by flashrom - *** CH341A USB (preferably with a green PCB) -
costs just 2 dollars with a free shipping (if to get directly from
AliExpress/China), but more
1) it is ch341a_spi, not sip 2) perhaps a flashrom of Ubuntu hasn't
been built with a libusb support (which is needed for devices like
CH341A). In this case, I recommend you to clone the latest flashrom
sources and build it from the source code - it's really easy to do and
not many dependencies.

It's BIOS chips are soldered SOIC-8 ones, so - in addition to a
programmer like - you'll need a SOIC-8 test clip to backup the
contents of these chips. USB extension cable is also recommended for
more convenience. You can do a backup of both chips (BIOS and Intel
ME) and then proceed.
