Hi all,

after updating to A13 BIOS Version the ME seems to be corrupted. I already dumped the ME region and reflashed it, but to no avail. With the ME region corrupted I can't flash to the latest A15 BIOS, because the flash stalls when it comes to ME flashing.

Does anyone have a fitting ME region .bin for the Venue 7140 which I could flash with FPT (maybe just extracted from a working one)? I already tried the v10 ME 5MB Image from this board, but when I try to flash with -me option it tells me, that the image is a tad larger than the flashable register.

I managed to extract the ME image from a Dell BIOS file using a python script + pfsextractor.exe but still the extracted ME region file is bigger in size that my ME region in the venue 7140:

fpt -i gives me a ME region of 0x005000 - 0x4FFFFF
the file extracted or downloaded new ME firmwares are 0x5A6000 in size
the (corrupted) ME firmware i dumped from the venue is 0x4ca000 in size

I could flash the bigger ME firmware, but FPT warns me that it would not write all to the flash as it is to big?

Great, thanks for the guidance! I followed the Cleanup Guide and it worked out like a charm - I afterwards flashed the current BIOS which worked flawlessly as well.
