I used the -S parameter as an example. python me_cleaner.py -S -O modified_image.bin original_dump.bin And use flashrom to brush in the firmware. flashrom -p internal -w modified_image.bin My tablet is not working after rebooting.

So, no matter how I should use an external SPI programmer instead of using Flashrom to write firmware directly in the OS?

Does the -S parameter work on a Broadwell device?

I suggest you to switch to a SPI flasher. I attempted to use FPT on my Rampage 4 and it bricked it. I only fixed it today using a CH341a flasher.

@weareanomalouswearearegion CH341a is not a panacea, it is the cheapest programmer sold on the market, it may not work for all chips, modern chips has secure region, area with protection, that will not allow to overwrite the code correctly, these chips needs special programmers
