No usable erase functions left. FAILED! Uh oh. Erase/write failed. Checking if anything has changed. Reading current flash chip contents... done. Good, writing to the flash chip apparently didn't do anything. Please check the connections (especially those to write protection pins) between the programmer and the flash chip. If you think the error is caused by flashrom please report this on IRC at chat.freenode.net (channel #flashrom) or mail flashrom@flashrom.org, thanks!
