Intel ME checks to see if a certain portion of the BIOS flash memory is writable before it allows the main OS to boot. What x86 Chromebooks do is they allow that region to be writeable but then zero that region on every boot. If your ME was backdoored, it was shipped that way from the factory. It's so disappointing that Intel undermined the entire trusted computing stack for some unproven ideas of around ME revenue generating opportunities.
