Sorry for the post misplacement. Yes, your are right the model is "MacBookPro 14,3". My appreciation for the image you gave. It was really helpful.
Thank you!

I have this question , when we run MEAnalyzer it reports the ME version and the fitc version. Now when asus updated the ME this fitc version number stayed the old number. Somewhat later, after my initial new update of ME 8 to latest 8.1.70.. i still got report fitc version being the old (original) one. I just recently followed the guide to make the adjustment on the anti theft tech adress and did a build with fitc 1.8.40 (latest) flashed the Descripter and the ME region only and now the fitc version after biosextraction does read the same as the ME version 8.1.7.xx (and not 8.1.40 which is fitc version used) . which is good but also odd. Would this be perfectly normal behaviour ? Sorry if this is not the thread to ask.

I want to clean CSME Region on my HP Zbook G5 (Intel 8th gen) but there is something really strange. Main BIOS file and EC bios file I have read from the notebook both contain CSME and PMC.
When I open only main bios file which is 32MB in Intel FITC, I have about 40MB extracted regions and 2 of them are about CSME



I have also downloaded new BIOS update from HP site and I can extract BIOS Region and ME Region but when I run it through ME analyzer it displays a problem with it's size...



Can someone help me with this strange problem I am facing? I have an opened notebook waiting to put back cleaned BIOS files...

Here are the original BIOS files I read from notebook SPI chips and in zip file is also HP BIOS update with new CSME region and clean BIOS Region.

I managed to do it on my own :) I just ignored the other 16MB CSE Region.bin file. There is no mention of it in Flash layout in FITC.



Old bios and new bios file with cleaned CSME region...

great guide!!

Thank you for such an enormous effort that you have put into this. I saw you made a clean bios dump for Dell XPS 15 9550 (Precision 5510) but the link has expired. Could you please share the dump with me? :) I bricked my Dell XPS 15 9550, bought a new MB from PRecision 5510 and bricked it as well. I have 2 dead mbs now, tried flashing bios using the programmer CH341A to W25Q128 chip and it is still bricked.

Thanks.

@warenick - also, for W25Q128 use ASProgrammer software not the CH341A general software, writes will fail with general CH341A software. For the W25Q32 chip you can use CH341A software, 1.30 or 1.34 probably best.
I can send you two different "unknown" 9550 dumps if you need them, unsure if they are working or broken, but you would need to edit in your serial, Asset tag, LAN MAC ID etc, so not really ideal if you can dump your own boards with CH341A anyway.

Hi,

Was wondering if theres a tool that exists that can help the speed up of transferring information from one ME to another? Much like how the coffee lake easy tool or coffeetime can downgrade your ME it cant be too difficult to repurpose that tool?

Thanks

@davidm71 - I just now read your post above! I'm surprised no one tagged those guys, but I bet if you asked them they could cut out the commands from their tools into a simple exe or batch file for you
@svarmod @revlaay - If they'd rather not, maybe @_haru could help you do that or figure out how to do that

If you want to downgrade to a version Coffeetime contains, I think you can do that through the advanced option.

@_haru - he wanted to know if there is a way/method to make a tool or batch file, to simply transfer ME FW settings from one BIOS ME to another, like the intent of this guide and how the AIO Coffee tools do this during the ME FW down/upgrade process they do.

Ah, short of using the features of an existing tool, i don't really know how.

Yes, that's what he meant, some tool that exists, and he mentioned the perfect ones already created, they just need cut down to ME FW edit/setting swap only.
CoffeeTime and Revlaay's tool, both do this, which would be perfect if either of them would share how to makeit do ME FW up/downgrade + setting transfer only, or recompile into a single tool that does that only.
