I tried to make a backup of my bios with 'flashrom' and the result is:
# sudo flashrom -p internal -r backup.rom -o backuplog.txt
flashrom v0.9.9-r1954 on Linux 4.14.10-041410-generic (x86_64)
flashrom is free software, get the source code at https://flashrom.org
Calibrating delay loop... OK.
No DMI table found.
Found chipset "Intel Bay Trail".
Enabling flash write... Warning: BIOS region SMM protection is enabled!
Warning: Setting Bios Control at 0x0 from 0x22 to 0x01 failed.
New value is 0x22.
Warning: SPI Configuration Lockdown activated.
FREG0: Warning: Flash Descriptor region (0x00000000-0x00000fff) is read-only.
FREG2: Warning: Management Engine region (0x00001000-0x003fffff) is locked.
Not all flash regions are freely accessible by flashrom. This is most likely
due to an active ME. Please see https://flashrom.org/ME for details.
PR0: Warning: 0x007e1000-0x007fffff is read-only.
PR1: Warning: 0x005a6000-0x0076ffff is read-only.
Writes have been disabled for safety reasons. You can enforce write
support with the ich_spi_force programmer option, but you will most likely
harm your hardware! If you force flashrom you will get no support if
something breaks. On a few mainboards it is possible to enable write
access by setting a jumper (see its documentation or the board itself).
OK.
Found Winbond flash chip "W25Q64.W" (8192 kB, SPI) mapped at physical address 0x00000000ff800000.
Reading flash... Transaction error!
Read operation failed!
FAILED.
Same situation: in my ACER ASPIRE ES1-111M-C1LE after installing ukuu I put linux v4.14.9 and v4.14.10: both don't solve my problems with the bios. /askubuntu. com/questions/ 144526/ how-to- flash-a- bios-when- only-a- windows- binary- is-provided
my idea was to follow this guide to flash the bios: https:/
