Yes, Step 7 is not for your image. It\'s for CSTXE firmware only basically.

I'm sorry, but I don't quite understand where to enter the placeholder RSA Private Key (dummy.pem), since there is no "SMIP Signing Key" field.
I have "dummy.pem" myself, I did it early for Apollo Lake and everything went well.

seek help! This fault has been encountered many times!

ThinkPad L14 backup program is OK. After cleaning me area, the me version will not be displayed in BIOS interface. It is slow to light up! Brush factory program everything is normal, the factory program me module is extracted and replaced into the backup program, the fault is still, do not recognize me version! I have tested all versions of fit V14 series. The fault is the same. Other machines are normal. The problem of operation method has been eliminated! ThinkPad series I have encountered many models have this problem!

I package and upload the backup program, clean me program and factory program together. Please help me to see what's wrong.

Maybe it does not boot properly if serial tags or similar are missing (I see INVALID fields)？？？Please help me point out the invalid field and tell me how to solve this problem. Thank you!

The backup BIOS program is completely backed up from a good machine. It should be OK. I mainly wanted to upgrade the BIOS, but I found this problem. Everything in the factory program was normal, which bothered me for a long time.

Hello all,
thanks for the guide. I followed everything carefully and created new rom but txe does not load.
Here some info from new rom:

I tried flashing new rom by programmer and FPT , run -greset with no success.

What im doing wrong?
Thanks for help!

Thanks plutomamiac, yes that's true :)
Update : I was able to switch to version 3.1.80.2400 leaving all other parts untouched. It is now detected by bios. However I can't do any modding of "Bios region.bin" . I can edit/update that part in uefitool but every try to flash reconstructed rom let the PC post into bios (recovery mode - reflash module). I can skip here (do not continue, always skip or you will brick the board!) and boot into os. I don't know the kind of protection used here . My setting is "Boot Guard Profile 0 Legacy " to skip boot guard .OEM Public Key Hash UEP is set but OEM Public Key Hash FPF value is "not set" . Modded bios region has still a manifest .

Because FPF is not set , is there a method to
use a new OEM Public Key Hash and resign all parts ?

Hi!!!

In case I can't find a compatible major and minor version, would I have to update ME first to clear the data region?

Thanks

D1. ME 2 - 3

9. From the System Tools folder, go to iAMTNVM subfolder and open a command prompt there. Copy the original input image (for example: "input.bin") as well as the Unconfigured one ("intermediate.bin") at the iAMTNVM subfolder. At the command prompt, enter "AMTNVM.exe -parse input.bin -out config.txt". A "config.txt" file should be created which holds the input firmware configuration. To transfer it into the Unconfigured image, enter "AMTNVM.exe -edit intermediate.bin config.txt -out outimage.bin" which should build the final "Configured" output SPI/BIOS image.
