Are you sure your board is supported by flashrom, or works without
special support? See http://www.coreboot.org/Flashrom#Supported_mainboards

Also, have you tried the command multiple times (e.g. 5 times) in a row?
Sometimes there are glitches and writing will not work, but on the next
run it will...
