Replace the ME region binary from your original image with the clean ME region binary you've just created.Create a clean ME region binary from the extracted region file.Extract a clean ME region file from a firmware in a repository.Extract and save the settings stored in the original firmware.Analyze the image to know what ME version you're working with.

The following instructions have been derived directly from the "How to clean ME Region on Apple machines" video posted by the legendary Piernov here: The proper and reliable way is to use the Intel Flash Image Tool (FITC) from the Intel Management Engine Tools set that matches your firmware's ME version. Many replacement chips purchased off of the internet may not have a properly cleaned ME region - either they'll be dirty or raw, and neither will function properly. Using copy/paste hex editing or tools like MEInject will write in a raw ME region without Apple's Mac-specific manufacturer settings for the ME region, which can result in similar symptoms as a "dirty" ME region. To resolve these issues, the ME region has to be cleaned with a specific procedure.

More obscure, fringe symptoms like the webcam not working on some Mac boards.Hard, spontaneous shutdown after 30 minutes.Error messages during verbose boot mode resembling "busy timeout, (60s): 'IGPU'".Freezing or kernel panics while booting macOS.The system being able to boot into EFI ASDs but not OS ASDs.but never successfully into MacOS or any MacOS installers The system being able to boot into Windows/Linux/etc.The system hanging indefinitely on its loading screen with the Apple icon and a partially or even fully filled bar.A long POST delay (prior to Apple chime and boot menu).This can lead to a number of issues, including:
When the ME region gets damaged or when swapping an SPI ROM chip from one logic board to another, there will more than likely be a mismatch between what the firmware expects to see and what it actually registers. When clean, the ME region performs an initial handshake with your board's PCH on first boot and stores values related to that specific PCH in its EEPROM memory. There are many issues that can be addressed by cleaning the Intel Management Engine (ME) region of your Mac's firmware.
