hello everyone!
I’m trying to install w11 using rufus (GPT for UEFI ) 4.4 and 4.5 versión and with oficial Windows media tool creator too, I bypass w11 instalación check, delete alll Partittions and after installlation ends, laptop dont Boot (black screen) and I have to use suzyq to unbrick laptop and flash mrchromebox rom again and repeat the process ( flashrom -p raiden_debug_spi:target=AP -w coreboot_edk2-markarth-mrchromebox_20240415.rom)
Any solution?
reflashing is the nuclear option here, does a hard reset (Refresh+Power simultaneously) do the trick?
Refresh+Power simultaneously doesnt do the trick, stay black screen
Same here:
@WeirdTreeThing can you reproduce?
Hi @WeirdTreeThing Regarding this comment made by @MrChromebox if I can help you with anything, please let me know. I have limited knowledge, but I can help.
please don’t tag someone a 2nd time after just a day, it’s impolite
Hello. Yesterday, after reflashing with the Suzyq cable, I managed to get the wonderful rabbit logo to appear again and finished installing Windows 11. There were several blue screens, but I managed to finish. I spent the whole day working fine with Windows and turned the computer off and on without problems several times.
By the way, the Coolstar audio driver works very well. The only driver I had to look for outside was the WiFi driver because Windows doesn’t install it automatically, it seems that the AMD Mediatek drivers have this problem in general. I solved it here: [DRIVERS] AMD|MediaTek WiFi/Bluetooth - Republic of Gamers Forum - 857576
Today, black screen again (refresh+power doesn’t work) when trying to turn the computer back on. Is it possible that the ROM has some small error and randomly causes this? I don’t know if I’ll have to reflash again.
When I unbrick , I do the following commands:
Can you check me if they are correct? All process with jump j35 done.
Today again, after doing the steps above, I was working with Windows 11 without problems. After several shutdowns and restarts, the same situation (black screen without the rabbit logo). It is clear that it can only be solved by unbricking with suzyq.
I imagine that this situation must be caused by some change that Windows makes in the boot system that causes the rabbit not to want to appear on the screen.
I am sorry for the inconvenience caused.
when this happens, instead of reflashing, try just clearing the NVRAM only:
sudo ./flashrom -p raiden_debug_spi:target=AP -E -i SMMSTORE
and see if that resolves the issue. will tell us where the problem is at least
well, you’re not using the build of flashrom from the docs.
you might try adding --fmap to the command without the ./, but otherwise I’d say use the version of flashrom as per the manual flashing section of the docs
I dont know if is correct, but I add -libpci38 to the command and this is the result:
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ cd; curl -LO https://tree123.org/chrultrabook/utils/flashrom-libpci38; chmod +x flashrom-libpci38

Hi, could you check if the command I entered was correct? I’m sorry for the trouble and time you’re having to spend.
I just noticed you mentioned you had disabled WP via the jumper, that means you have to also disable RO firmware verification since this is a Ti50 device:
so, do this:
ccd reset factory – this will also set AllowUnverifiedRO to Ywget https://mrchromebox.tech/files/firmware/full_rom/coreboot_edk2-markarth-mrchromebox_20240710.romsudo flashrom -p raiden_debug_spi:target=AP -w coreboot_edk2-markarth-mrchromebox_20240710.romthen you should be good to go.
I enter the following commands in this order (can you verify it they are correct?
ls /dev/ttyU*
echo “ccd open” | sudo tee -a /dev/ttyUSB0 > /dev/null
3
echo “ccd reset factory” > /dev/ttyUSB0

I don’t recommend blindly sending commands like that via echo. install minicom (sudo apt install minicom) then, after verifying the ttyUSB devices exist, connect to the CR50 on ttyUSB0:
ls /dev/ttyUSB*
sudo minicom -D /dev/ttyUSB0
then run the commands from minicom:
ccd open
ccd reset factory
exit minicom (CTRL+a, x) then flash the firmware
wget https://mrchromebox.tech/files/firmware/full_rom/coreboot_edk2-markarth-mrchromebox_20240710.rom
sudo flashrom -p raiden_debug_spi:target=AP -w coreboot_edk2-markarth-mrchromebox_20240710.rom
Everything is done and looks good. I hope this helps me resolve it. I will keep you posted on the latest news. Thanks in advance for your support and daily effort.
Hello, after a lot of testing I confirm that everything is perfectly resolved and I have not had any more black screen problems. In these days of using Windows 11 there are 2 issues to discuss:
When the computer goes into sleep mode the touch track does not work, it is only possible to return by pressing a key on the keyboard, is that normal?
On some occasions when the computer goes into sleep mode it is not possible to return by pressing the keys on the keyboard either, that does not return it to normal mode and I can only restart by holding down the power button.
Also, I use a dock (hp g5) and the power to the dock stops working.
How can I create a log to send it here so you can analyze it?
Thanks
