I just got an HP chromebox (celeron model) off eBay, hoping that i will turn it into a KODI box, but i'm unable to disable the hardware write protection... i removed the screw, cleaned the contacts and everything looks great and contacts are clean and far apart, but the script still says that can't run because the hardware write protection is still enabled. What am i doing wrong here? Please people, help!!!!
1) post a picture of the WP screw area. Verify lack of continuity with a DMM if you have one.
2) from the command line, run 'sudo crossystem | grep wpsw' and post the output
3) from the command line, run 'sudo flashrom --wp-status' and post the output
I took the pictures first and upon closer inspection something looked strange.... then i took a sharp object and cleared it as good as i could and it worked!!!! Thanks, now i have a working Openelec chromebox!!!!! You rock!!!
