Thanks plutomaniac for this incredibly useful thread, it is very, very appreciated.
Finally I found the direction of a years old problem I had with a stuck multiplier bios problem (very sure it is the Intel ME gone corrupt because of the issues to bring the bios back after an unclear power issue, I had to reset with bridging bios chip pins to bring it back to life.)
I built firmwares for a hi-tech company in the past and I know the insane amount of work you put in here. This may be the only place in the net that has it all condensed to the point and even all downloads collected.
Awesome. (It had to be said. I registered to write this, because some people are incredibly ungrateful with not enough patience to even find the downloads that are structured listed and try to press the "do my work"-button...)

I was trying to flash outimage.bin, that's what FIT created. Also, what FIT can not open after it creates it, very strange.
There is no FWUpdate.bin file, either.

But now that you mention it, I actually see that FIT is set to not build that FWUpdate.bin, I set it to YES and it builds the image and seems to be the correct size.
Cannot flash now, though, as I already did flash the latest firmware compiled by somebody on the ROG forum, who, incidentally, has seen my post here and wanted to help, cheers to them by the way, nice gesture.

Also, cheers to you plutomaniac, you're a great help, really, sadly most of the things you post go way over my head :-))

I do exactly this (using FIT from the latest package posted by you) :
- start FIT
- open the ME firmware file
- set the chipset value to CML H, no emulation
- select the PMC file
- select the PCH file
- set flash components to 0
- top menu bar->build->build image (this is what I must have been doing wrong, I did not even see the green buttons)

Only outimage.bin is created, unless I specifically go to set the FWUpdate file creation to YES.
Or, unless I actually follow the steps and use the button instead of the menu, lol.

I read the instructions, I set the flash components to zero because that was for the previous ME fw, 12, basically. No idea where I read that, but basically, sometimes, for some reason, flash components is set to 2 and building the image like that does not work, at least for me.
As for the building the image, I pretty much figured that on my own, I somehow distrust buttons, especially those not text labeled, so I actually never knew what the buttons in FIT do until today, lol.
