Could be various things, all OS related. Maybe it can't find the file, maybe it doesn't like the extension, maybe the file is not proper etc. Download the latest firmware from the first post and try the DOS/EFI version of FWUpdate to eliminate any OS-related problems.

As far as version is concerned, yes. But you need the same SKU as well. If your currently have 1.5MB SKU then get that firmware, otherwise the 5MB variant. You can use ME Analyzer with that "OLD.BIN" file you saved to quickly check.

MEManuf does not require any reboot, just run it via a command line and it should tell you right away if "Operation Passed".

Reboot? Does not make sense. Are you sure it's not a crash, BSOD or something? What command are you running? What do you see at MEInfo tool instead?
