Yes, tell us what you do about the other (non-host) firmware components
in your flash chip (e.g. Firmware Descriptor, ME Firmware). And the tool
(command line if you use flashrom) you use to flash. Often the culprit
is a broken descriptor.

If you are sure that everything in the flash chip is perfectly fine (to
be sure, ME firmware should be a fresh image that wasn't ever altered
during runtime (ME does that), i.e. not a dump of an ever run firmware),
I'd suggest to remove all power, take a break, eat a Pizza or watch a
movie and try again later.
