Yes, I was using the root account for the first report. Now I've also
tried to run the command "flashrom --wp-disable" which does output
"SUCCESS". That did NOT help though because, just as before, the command
"./cros-flash-replace flash.img coreboot ro-frid" results in: "bash:
./cros-flash-replace: Permission denied".
