kazp3r - whatever happened there, looks like you gave up, or did we carry on in PM's etc?

I've seen others read and write to this chip, so not sure what the issue was in his case, but it's last one I helped with on that same chip ID
But, if you can't get it working with clip, then we can program directly through the SPI header on the board, but you'll have to make some cables to do that.

How do I get Kabylake microcode preserved instead of Skylake when using the version 2019.1229? Is it more reasonable to use the version 2019.311 (with update
pack 618) for Coffeelake cpus? It seems to keep both Kabylake and Skylake microcodes, in fact, the amount of microcodes increases from 2 to 4.

@Lost_N_BIOS I cannot download Intel CSME System Tools v11 r32.rar. I don't have antivirus, the download ends but it is not in my downloads

pd :what is the meaning of FPT sorry I'm new

@prodan - the way mega works, you have to wait on the original page, then once it downloads, it will then "download" all at once in a second to your downloads folder.
If you can't get it, I will reupload package for you. FPT is Intel Flash Programming Tool

@lkadlcek - Yes, get programmer and we'll start there. Can you make your own cables/solder? In case we have to connect to the SPI header, instead of clipping to the BIOS chip?

@Lost_N_BIOS Will do! I can solder no problem, just need details about the cable/SPI header if needed later. Thank you!

Will this work fine? https://www.amazon.ca/KeeYees-SOIC8-EEPR...TS7E791ZB96BD60

@lkadlcek - Yes, that kit will be fine - SPI header info here

I'm not sure if dupont female will fit into the headers, but they are cheap cables you can get in large sets of 10-30 etc.
Maybe if you get M/F you can remove the plastic part on the female end, then they would slide onto the SPI header. If not, you will need to find correct pitched female connect ends.
The Male end of dupont cable fits into CH341A without issue.

Then flash it back in via >> FPTw.exe -desc -f modfd.bin

Then let me know once you are done, I will make you mod BIOS and show you how to first flash in the mod ME FW.
Otherwise, get programming tools, then once you have let me know and I will help you to dump BIOS to send to me, so I can make you a mod BIOS to program back in

---

I used the version 2019.1229 and it did work. Had to lower ME version manually though. Now I have both Kaby- and Skylake support and the number of "modules" 2 --> 4 as mentioned. The microcodes here are not very fresh so I need to work on this.



As an interesting side note, the built-in flasher rejected a CoffeeTime0.85a patched mod (secure flash check fail) and I know the tool itself recommends to not use this option. Maybe I should consider ordering a programmer before I run out of luck.

@prodan - You are correct, your FD is already unlocked then. The error in your image is due to file not found at location you are running that command.
But, if your FD is already unlocked, there is nothing for you to mod, thus you should not have created any modfd.bin file anyway modfd.bin >> This could be any name, I just used that as example of edited fd.bin file name

Please, lets confirm what you can and can't write, so we know proper steps you need to take to flash full mod BIOS (may be needed to flash certain parts with FPT and certain you can use stock flash method for example >> BIOS region)
Please dump the following and send me the files, so I can make you mod BIOS. Then also, test writing them back with FPT, tell me what error number you get, if any, on which command

1. FPTw.exe -desc -d fd.bin >> To write it back >> FPTw.exe -desc -f fd.bin
2. FPTw.exe -gbe -d gbe.bin >> To write it back >> FPTw.exe -gbe -f gbe.bin >> This may error to dump, if not part of your BIOS, if that happens, ignore, and move on to next
3. FPTw.exe -me -d me.bin >> To write it back >> FPTw.exe -me -f me.bin >> This may error on write, IF FD is locked
4. FPTw.exe -bios -d biosreg.bin >> To write it back >> FPTw.exe -bios -f biosreg.bin >> This may error, if BIOS lock or SMI lock enabled, if so, it's OK, we can flash mod BIOS region via standard BIOS update method, or I can help you to unlock/bypass the locks and make this possible without error.
Send me all of the above files, in max compressed zip

When you reply back, please summarize again, what model system you have, and what is your old CPU and new CPU SSPEC (SRF6N) << Yes, this is U0, requires full CPU pad mods per your brand and the image below (click to enlarge)



@lkadlcek - Yes, clip and programmer may work fine What is your BIOS chip ID?

@mcf - Latest microcodes you can get here always - https://github.com/platomav/CPUMicrocodes/tree/master/Intel
For Asrock mod BIOS, you must remove the Instant flash protection first, before you can flash it. You can do this by running the BIOS (Dump, stock, already modified etc) through UBU program, and do nothing except at end when asked to remove protection say yes and then choose mod BIOS file name.

Hey guys I still have these limits, can I do sth about it?

@Lost_N_BIOS

After running all the commands I only got error in FPTw.exe -gbe -d gbe.bin (Error 329: gbe.bin GBE region does not exist) and FPTw.exe -gbe -f gbe.bin same error. after executing all the commands, I restart my pc and freeze windows which turns off the button. I turn on my pc and I get a black image and the EZDEBUG led on from msi , wait 1 minute (nothing worked, keyboard mouse etc). I turn off again but this time I leave my source without power for 2 minutes (with tears in my eyes) I turn on again and I see some letters say something about ME FW similar or equal to when I did pinmod "E.1" and I start windows I check hwinfo and my ME it is now 0.0.0.0. This is good ? is the black image normal? my sspec
