UPDATING bootloader. This could take up to a minute. Please wait
*** Do not disconnect the power until the update is complete ***
If a problem occurs then the Raspberry Pi Imager may be used to create
a bootloader rescue SD card image which restores the default bootloader image.
flashrom -p linux_spi:dev=/dev/spidev10.0,spispeed=16000 -w /boot/firmware/pieeprom.upd

So the question is...What is different on your Pi to mine?
