Could you try using some more recent software? Flashrom 1.0 from 2018 is somewhat outdated. Since then many things have changed. If possible please try latest code (latest code, not release) from flashrom and report again. With latest code also the output of the flashrom command with --verbose attached would be interesting. Do you have a Thinkpad x230 or a x230t ?
It is a Thinkpad x230. First I tried using the latest x230_skulls.sh from master, which did not change anything. Then, I upgraded my flashrom version to 1.2, and then it worked like expected. It is probably worth noting somewhere what the minimum version of flashrom that is needed. I don't know about any versions other than 1.0 and 1.2, but the former doesn't work and the latter works. Thanks for the advice.
I recently tried flashing 0.1.11 onto my x230 with the internal flash script x230_skulls.sh, and I got a new warning from flashrom, preventing me from flashing, which I have not seen when I have previously done this same procedure for previous skulls releases. I am using flashrom v1.0 on Opensuse. Maybe my flashrom updated and changed behavior? Do I need to provide extra flashrom arguments like
internal:laptop=force_I_want_a_brick
orinternal:laptop=this_is_not_a_laptop
?
