[WIP] Updated steps for removing EFI Firmware

Please forgive, this is a work in progress. I am using this as place to take notes.
I did successfully remove the EFI Firmware password from a MBA 2015 A1465 // EMC-2924

However there are a few steps in the tutorial I was following ( ghostlyhaks.com/blog/apple-efi/31-efi-removal-step-by-step ) that need updating.
Mostly reasons for why Flashrom doesn't recognize chip errors and errors related to compiling flashrom.

Hardware:

1x Raspberry PI 3

(recommended although you only need the PI-3 , Power adapter, and memory card)

1x Easy Flash 4.0.3


6x 10cm Female to Female wire

(Optional)
POE Adapter for RPI (get power and network over POE interface) (POE switch required)

For the most part follow the original tutorial and see the updated notes below:

Automatically create cookie cutter PI image using PiBakery


Manually:

Download Raspbian:
www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/

Download Etcher:
etcher.io/


Extract the Raspbian zip file (for this write-up the current file name is: 2017-11-29-raspbian-stretch-lite.zip)

Insert the SD card into computer using adapter

Open Etcher (I run it as admin)
Select the image (2017-11-29-raspbian-stretch-lite.img)
Select the SD card you are going to flash it to
Write it

View the contents of the sd-card in your computers file manager after etcher is completed.
On windows you need to be able to view file extensions (In Explorer, View tab -> Show file extensions.)
Create a file named ssh. (It should not be named ssh.txt or .anything / just a file called ssh)

Now plug the sd-card into the PI3 and connect the pi to your router/switch and power it on.
Wait a good 10 minutes and then try SSHing to it.


Connecting the Easy Flash (pic)


When you enable the SPI, its no longer in Advanced Options.
Its in Interface Options:



When you get to the Flashrom installation instructions , instead of compiling from scratch just use:
sudo apt-get install flashrom


When you get to the Flashrom commands:

sudo flashrom -r ~/efi/read1.bin -V -p linux_spi:dev=/dev/spidev0.0

You will need to append ,spispeed=8000 so that it looks like:

sudo flashrom -r ~/efi/read1.bin -V -p linux_spi:dev=/dev/spidev0.0,spispeed=8000

Else Flashrom will not be able to identify the chip (ref: github.com/flashrom/flashrom/issues/29 )

To be continued....
