Hello Pierre, we don't allow huge attachments on the mailing list. I've transcribed the most important part:
Enabling flash write... Warning: Setting BIOS Control at 0xdc from 0x0a to 0x09 failed. New value is 0x0a. This means your running firmware forbids any writes to its flash chip. I think it's safe to reboot, flashprog shouldn't have modified anything.
To move forward you'll have to find a way to disable this write protection or use an external flash programmer. Nico
