Title: 25 usd bounty to help flash laptop bios
Post by: Deano M on October 08, 2019, 09:03:27 am
I have tried to flash my bricked GD25B127D bios chip for over a week now. I am tired of messing with it, and am offering a 25usd bounty to anyone that gets my bios chip flashed.

I have a clevo N970TF laptop. As mentioned above It utilizes a GigaDevice GD25B127D SPI Nor chip. Datasheet can be found here (https://www.gigadevice.com/flash-memory/gd25b127d/).

I have a version 3.5 BusPirate.

Flashrom shows these errors:

Quote
This flash part has status NOT WORKING for operations: PROBE READ ERASE WRITE
Quote
Found Generic flash chip "unknown SPI chip (RDID)" (0 kB, SPI) on buspirate_spi.
Quote
Read is not working on this chip. Aborting.

I am using Chromium Flashrom found here (https://dev.chromium.org/chromium-os/packages/cros-flashrom), as it seems the most updated version I came across.

Came across this post (http://dangerousprototypes.com/forum/index.php?topic=4292.0), that seems to apply to my situation, Im just not sure how to modify or run it?

So 25 bucks via paypal to anyone willing/interested in helping me out.

I have a functional dump of the bios on hand as well.
