Flashing in progress with insydeflash... cross fingers or girlfriend will kill me...

Flash done but spectre unprotected Sandra indicate a 20E microcode... not 0x11

Maybe i must also modify other HP bin ? Theses files contains multiples platforms... Insydeflash indicate a 365C platform but, maybe use other file too... ?


Edit : 363 platform modified too, bin replaced, insydeFlash retrying... with two files mod... wait and see..


Edit 2 : YES !!!!!

Only still The DZ77GA-70K just find time to do it.

I have to prepare my laptop for proceed with programmer :) My HP probook 4530s is not too young but it's my only machine who benefited of an Official HP updated BIOS :)


Maybe i can flash my netbook ASUS and my tablet Acer ICONIA but they are not in use from a long moment... no emergency... :)

Good the flash went OK, or she'd be mad waiting on your recovery tools to arrive! Yes, usually both bins are used, one for ME or EC and BIOS, then other for BIOS and other stuff too, sorry I didn't check that for this file, I assumed you already did since you mentioned only one for your system.

Glad you got it all flashed and fixed safely! Yes, anytime you can shut down the DZ77 for a while I can help show you how to update on it too.

Thanks you !
You are a precious ally for all that :)

You're very welcome, I appreciate the thanks! You're girlfriend thanks you too, for not bricking her laptop

Hi again !

Do you think it is possible to add ivy Bridge 306A9 ucode to a Sandy Bridge bios with only 206A7 support ? Normally chipsets are pin compatibles... and i Plan to update my laptop cpu from old pentium to old core i5 :)

Yes, best to update Intel ME before/during that update too.

Update Intel ME ? How to do this ? You say update firmware or software ?

ME FW, either via BIOS mod with current CPU in place, or with Intel ME FW update tool.
Run MEinfowin on the system until you can get a valid output (meaning you may need to try all versions from the many Intel system tools packages in the thread)
Or drop a copy of the BIOS or a BIOS Dump from system onto ME Enalyzer and see what ME is there, then update according to the ME update guides in ME section of this forum

I have a dump of my modified bios I have to check how is ME Enalyser.

ME Analyzer is like MC Extractor, open it then drag and drop BIOS on it to see contained ME version

You save me a lot of Time ! :) Thanks.

This is my bios ME7

So, get the Intel System Tools package v7 if you do not already have, then follow the ME cleanup/update guide thread to update to latest ME version 7 - or wait for reply about this question I'm going to ask plutomaniac
Also, what is the chipset on this system, check CPU-z mainboard tab if you are not sure.

@ plutomaniac - I believe ME8 is requirement for Ivy bridge correct? If yes, can ME8 be manually inserted in ME7 BIOS, user has flash programmer so we can do expected failure testing.

My Ivy Bridge PC have a ME8
