Thanks to Intel for the new firmware as well as Pacman for letting me know!
Dear plutomaniac,
I need Intel TXE Flash Image Tool 1.1.0.1089.
When I clean TXE firmware region with your guide, the laptop wonât turn on. Iâd like to try with same FITC tool like in the original bios, but I canât find to download it anywhere.
I have a hardware programmer so I can play with different versions, etc⌠If you need me to try something, I am here to help.
0220F.bin â this file is decrypted from HP website, latest version of bios
0220F CleanTXE.bin â the same file with clean TXE I did by your guide
Backup Beli main u56-w25q64fw.bin â this is original dump file from notebook
BIOS_F18 za belog.bin â this is working dump from another website
When I clean TXE bios, FITC version is other and I would like to try with same FITC version please.
All 4 bios files for download (if you need/want)

Thank you!
@ razor_amd:
I do have 1.1.0.1089 FITC but it wonât change anything, the problem should not be there. You need to clean the original system dump and not the stock decrypted SPI from HP. You didnât mention what HP model that is but you said notebook so I selected that at FITC to do some quick comparisons. Based on your dump (Backup Beli main u56-w25q64fw), I created an equivalent SPI image with clean/configured TXE. Additionally, I have disabled Anti-Theft (as the guide says, not the root of your problem though) and disabled the Flash Descriptor protection so you can reflash the entire SPI from within an OS instead of the programmer provided that a) the system boots and b) thatâs needed for something else (like upgrading from TXE 1.1 to 1.2 if you want). You can easily re-enable the write protection lock if you desire so after all modifications and repairs are done. After flashing with the programmer, if the system doesnât start and since you cannot do that easily using an OS and Flash Programming Tool, try to reset the TXE by removing any power (cable, batteries) for 1 minute or so.

The notebook model is also written in a bios file inside. It is HP 250 G3 notebook, bios ID is: 0220F.
Yes, I get that I need to clean TXE in a bios already in a notebook. But in a 99% cases, the notebook wonât turn on with a bios already inside, it is somehow corrupted, etc, so I must either program a fresh clean bios from manufacturerâs site or a dump from other same or similar notebook downloaded from various forums.
For that reason I canât always use that backup image from a notebook so I downloaded file: BIOS_F18.bin. I tried to clean TXE in this file also but when it wouldnât work, I deleted it. Then I only changed notebook info and serial number and call it: BIOS_F18 za belog.bin and the notebook works with it. The one thing I didnât try is removing all the batteries, including the little one for bios for 1 minute to reset TXE. I will try your cleaned TXE bios and see how it goes. Will let you know.
I have uploaded complete backup bios files from other notebook that works, untouched. In there is a Main bios and EC bios of the same board. The other link is HP website, to download bios update for this notebook model.

One more question I would like to ask you. When I download bios file from manufacturer's website, in this case it is 0220F.bin (after decryption), is it already a clean ME/TXE one? I think it is, because it has never been used before on a system and thus it doesn't have any data initialization in it. Please let me know if I am wrong.
Thanks for all your hard work!!!
Just to let you know that the bios is not working.
Well yes, itâs BIOS-related then. The TXE cleanup you and I did as well as FITC version used should not be related. I cannot currently download the archive from google drive as the service is unresponsive (probably related to that global DDOS attack that has been going on today). If you used another BIOS and it now works, you may not need to do anything more.
And yes, in theory the TXE inside the stock HP SPI image should be clean+configured, meaning non-initialized. I said âin theoryâ because not all OEMs care enough to do that. HP should be ok but some no brand Chinese motherboards may come with initialized Engine firmware taken from another system. Thatâs why I generally follow the guide regardless. Itâs best to first try the one by the OEM and if not, follow the cleanup process manually if you donât trust their release.
No worries, I flashed the one I already prepared from another forum and the notebook is working for now. Thank you very much for the info!
Intel TXE 2.1 1.375MB Firmware v2.1.4.3102
Intel TXE Firmware 2.1.4.3102_NaN_PRD_EXTR_B8EA221128D366E23CC1416DB8209D5A1129DEB8.zip (817 KB)
Thank you Pacman for the new firmware. Unfortunately, it seems Intel liked the crapfest that was TXE 1 and decided to extend it. This ânewerâ branch is older than the last 2.0 firmware we have. To me it seems like a 2.0.4.3102 firmware which was especially/custom ordered or something and has a minor of 1 instead of 0. Or maybe an early 2.1 branch sample that later got abandoned. I donât know what sort of device came with such firmware but itâs 10 months old, older than 2.0.x and havenât seen any such branch all this time. Iâll put it at the repo and MEA but I advise people against updating to it. For the aforementioned reasons and because Intel has started to become very annoying when it comes to SKU confusion and firmware obfuscation, this 2.1 âbranchâ will not be at the first post.
Yes, the date caused me some confusion, but i thought i would post it anyway since i have not seen it Before.
It is from an Asus device, donât remember wich one, but if there is any need i can recheck the Asus BIOSes i downloaded yesterday.
