- If you are flashing a ThinkPad X60 that is currently running libreboot 5th release or lower
- (anything on or before June 22nd 2014), then use this to upgrade:
- $ sudo ./x60flashfrom5 bin/YOURBOARD/YOURROM
+ If you are sure that you are flashing the correct image but you get the error
+ This coreboot image (LENOVO:ThinkPad X60) does not appear to be correct for the detected mainboard (Lenovo:ThinkPad X60 / X60s / X60t) or
+ similar (if it's a different board), then do:
+
+ $ sudo ./forceflash bin/YOURBOARD/YOURROM
On the X200S the flash chip is underneath the board, in a WSON package.

+ In this image, a pin header was soldered onto the WSON. Another solution might be to de-solder the WSON-8 chip and put a SOIC-8 there instead.
