<div dir="ltr">Hi Idwer,<div><br></div><div>The flash is on Macbook motherboard and I am using Pomona test clip (next time I think I would buy 3M clip), the same that ISP page on this site shows. The cable length is about 8 inches, so I think it should be pretty safe. I haven't tried to powered on the laptop in order to read the flash. I keep the battery removed. I could desolder the flash but I want to avoid it.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks!<br><br><div>> Date: Tue, 4 Feb 2014 02:10:59 +0100<br>> From: vidwer@gmail.com<br>> To: flashrom@flashrom.org<br>> Subject: Re: [flashrom] Issues recognizing Macronics 25L3205D using UM232H-B-WE<br>> <br>> 2014-02-03 Jay Khan <greekhero@hotmail.com>:<br>> > Thanks Idwer for your quick response.<br>> ><br>> > I changed the HOLD and WP to VCC still no luck; I am attaching the output<br>> > with -V option; but it now does seem to detect the ID1 and ID2:<br>> ><br>> > Probing for Macronix MX25L3205D/MX25L3208D, 4096 kB: probe_spi_rdid_generic:<br>> > id1 0x7f7f, id2 0x7f<br>> <br>> This is where you have to tell us where the chip is connected to, or<br>> if it is desoldered :)<br>> The wiki page http://flashrom.org/ISP describes "the procedure of<br>> writing a flash chip while it is (already/still) attached to the<br>> circuit it is to be used with".<br>> <br>> ><br>> > Still gives the error as before:<br>> ><br>> ><br>> > Found Generic flash chip "unknown SPI chip (RDID)" (0 kB, SPI) on<br>> > ft2232_spi.<br>> > Probing for Generic unknown SPI chip (REMS), 0 kB: probe_spi_rems: id1 0x7f,<br>> > id2 0x7f<br>> > Found Generic flash chip "unknown SPI chip (RDID)" (0 kB, SPI).<br>> > ===<br>> <br>> From the attached log file:<br>> ....<br></div></div></div>
