Can it be that easy? Loading the BIOS from ASRock into FIT and setting it up the way explained for cleaning with the dummy key etc. Overwriting the TXE Region.bin in the Decomp folder with the latest TXE firmware shows up with the corresponding number under Flash Layout -> Intel TXE sub partition. After build copy the SMIP part. I have a file then that shows as “configured” for the ME and behaves valid in UBU. Anything i got wrong and some things get lost that way? https://www65.zippyshare.com/v/CzrIagIt/file.html Edit: One thing that worries me is the different offset of the microcode in the rebuilt version. Edit2: I got an updated BIOS from ASRock support that contains the 4.0.20.1310 TXE. FIT creates a completely different file with the 4.0.20.1310 out of the firmware repository. The TXE Region.bin created from FIT and the original ASRock BIOS is ~250kb smaller. Is this expected? Re-creating the BIOS in FIT without exchanging any ROM spits out pretty much the same file as the original. Some bytes are different. Most likely version numbers and alike.

Error 15: Failed to build. Failed to build! Hello, I used Intel cstxe system tools V4 to clean up the me area and build me. How to solve the problem
As reported 3 posts above a rebuild using Flash Iamge Tool 4 for my GLK with a different TXE moves the offset of the µC. This only happens if the TXE is a EXTR file. Putting in the different RGN versions does not change the µC offset on rebuild. I hope this observation is new and is of some help for something.
Edit: Did anybody ever update a TXE v4 successfully?
Notice that (CS)TXE seems to have been killed off by Intel and merged into (CS)ME. Modern Atom based platforms now run CSME firmware (LKF - CSME 13.30, JSL - CSME 13.50, EHL - CSME 15.40 etc). The current (CS)TXE platforms (BYT, CHT, BSW, APL, BXT, GLK) remain as they are.
