#1 | [Help please] Dell Optiplex 7090 - Enabling Intel ME datum

Today 11:35 am

Hello all,

I have two Dell Optiplex 7090s. One has Intel AMT Enabled, one has it disabled. I would like to enable Intel AMT on the second PC.

Posts on this forum suggest that a good way to start investigating is to get an image of the I2C ROM, use the Flash Image Tool to enable AMT in that image then flash back. (I have a programmer to bypass the locks of updating from software.) I believe the programmer is reading the ROM consistently (checksum is the same until I power on the PC), and MEA reports plausible information from the dump.

https://mega.nz/file/FhcxjAJB#mAPCZ6YWbZrzWdZAjLi3qWko4Y6djtABvYC4mQJVhiU

I'm failing at the stage of opening the image in FIT: "Error 179: [Fit Actions] Failed to parse CSE region".

Output of MEA (system with ME disabled):

(I get similar errors when attempting to open the dump from the PC with AMT enabled, which makes me wonder whether my programmer is incorrectly - but consistently - dumping the ROM data.)

Could anybody suggest how I should proceed, please?

Maybe could you dump you bios (full bios image) using intelfpt or programmer?
