Hello there, I found this forum these days trying to solve my problem, but yet I couldn't, so here we go:
I have a Colorful B85ak v21 and a few months back I ended bricking my BIOS and bought a CH341a (black) to reflash, it works fine now, except that the bios don't show any info about ME Firmware

MEINFO
MEMANUF

Re-flash the entire 8MB SPI image using the programmer. Then reset CMOS, restore BIOS defaults and check again.

follow [Guide] Clean Dumped Intel Engine (CS)ME/(CS)TXE Regions with Data Initialization on the 8MB SPI image, re-flash using the programmer, reset CMOS and check again.

I tried to reflash using afudos, works fine, everything looks okay

But then I used the /O command to save my current rom, did it two times, one for each reflash, and the rom only has 4mb, same if I try to use Afudos on Windows, and using the ME Analyzer, shows me that there is no ME Firmware anymore.

It does not flash ME. For AMI Aptio V only microcode is flashed.

Remove, or move jumper, this disables ME >> Pins 1 and 2 shorted:Refresh the BIOS. Pins 1 and 2 disconnected:can't refresh the BIOS.
As does the BIOS setting ME Reflash but only for one session (leave this disabled)
You must also completely remove all power for one minute after you fix the ME FW

Move to jumper only on one pin after you've updated BIOS. Jumper on both pins only when you want to flash the BIOS/ME

Same result, I think I will gave up on this, nothing seems to solve :/

make DOS bootable USB with all files from FPT DOS Folder, then Issue this in command prompt >> FPTw.exe -greset
Or drain all power for one minute, remove PSU Cable, CMOS battery, then short power on pins for 10 seconds or clear CMOS for 10 seconds, and then let sit for 1+ minute.
Then connect all power and check again.

If issue persists, dump your current BIOS contents with programmer and upload for me to check out.

Nothing changed. The dump its the file I get using -d spi.bin? It's attached bellow, and ME Analyzer shows it has ME FW

@danielhld - Sorry, I meant dump with programmer. This will work though, can you please link me to original BIOS download from Colorful, this BIOS you sent has broken FIT Table and I want to see if stock BIOS has that (I'll fix it anyway).
That has nothing to do with ME, but it should be corrected. I also see some good settings hidden from you in BIOS I'll enable once we fix your ME
Also, if you have it, please send me a dump of your BIOS chip before you re-wrote it to fix the bricked BIOS

What chipset is this system, if you are unsure please post an image of CPU-z motherboard tab.

plutomaniac - waiting for his original BIOS dump (hopefully), or a link from Colorful with ME in it already, but I see this when dropping in FITc
Can you tell me what Colorful has originally set for this value (And it's hex location in ME FW) in case it should be that and this is what's causing the issue since he ran it through FITc already, so I can put back once done with FITc clean/UPD (or I'll send one each, FITc corrected and original put in manually)
"No Emulation - Desktop" also concerns me, but need to see the OG BIOS first, maybe it should be that way but I assume it's not ideal

Thanks. I checked BIOS and ME FW, nothing disabling ME that I see, however that jumper and the translation for it's use is confusing and I suspect this has something to do with it.
