Libreboot detects my X200 as a T400

I have an X200 that Minifree hardware flashed for me. Now I want update an reflash myself. But when running the flashing command I get an error message, that my mainboard seems to be a T400.

Have any of you tried this? Any ideas on what the problem is and what the solution might be?

flashrom is free software, get the source code at https://flashrom.org

Calibrating delay loop... OK.
coreboot table found at 0xbdaa0000.
Found chipset "Intel ICH9M-E".
Enabling flash write... OK.
Found Macronix flash chip "MX25L6405D" (8192 kB, SPI) mapped at physical address 0x00000000ff800000.
This coreboot image (LENOVO:ThinkPad X200) does not appear to
be correct for the detected mainboard (LENOVO:ThinkPad T400).
Aborting. You can override this with -p internal:boardmismatch=force.

Maybe Leah (or another employee of Minifree, I don't know if Minifree has more than one employee) put a T400 motherboard in an X200 case. You should try asking them. I think Minifree's e-mail address is on their website.

Good luck

Thanks.

A nice user at the libreboot irc helped me to find out that that is probably impossible. I did though find out that there was a solution on libreboot.org. It actually says that:

Ocassionally, coreboot changes the name of a given board. If flashrom complains about a board mismatch, but you are sure that you chose the correct ROM image, then run this alternative command:
$ sudo ./flash forceupdate yourrom.rom

i.e. forceupdate instead of update did the trick.

Thanks for your reply

Glad you solved it, maybe this will help when I decide to update my X200.

Kind regards

In hindsight, well passed the troubles of a newbee I must say it is really easy.

Hi friends, I installed libreboot the later day and I can do it but I can't connected to internet (wifi or ethernet). I think the mac address is wrong.
When I put ifconfig in terminal this is the result...

My MAC address is 00:27:13:64:7B:46

And when I install someone OS this message emerges, I want know if with some command I can result that without disarm the laptop.
