So I followed exact steps from both Optiplex 7010 and VPro/AMT/ME discussed method and Clean Dumped Intel Engine guide to flash the ME region.

MEBx appears on the BIOS F12 menu, also hitting ctrl-P does trigger small text during boot ("Preparing MEBx menu), but I cannot access MEBx control panel and it just goes straight to OS booting (also choosing MEBx in F12 menu will make it disappear).

Link (MEGA) for SPI dump (spibak), ME dump (mebak), ME flashed (outimage, generated using the Clean Dumped guide, using 11.8 r14 repo, 11.8.55.3510 Cor H RGN bin file)
https://mega.nz/#F!LBAHWSiI!ylxiot7FQTC8Zj2uMyQgxA

How did you flash the new ME? Did you do power reset either via complete power drain for 1+ minute, or FPTw.exe -greset

This could be the issue? AMT Idle Timeout >> 0x0001 (This setting configures the idle timeout value before AMT enters an OFF state)
Unsure if that is seconds, or milliseconds, but sounds like it's very short time and then OFF. Unsure if this is not what it sounds like, or what the default should be there.
I also see right above that, "Manageability application initial power-up state" = disabled << This one seems like it's OK though, help text says "can still be re-enabled through MEBx interface" I would set enabled though, since you want it enabled.

plutomaniac would have best answers for you on this one

The outimage is build from the mebak (me dump) file not spi image. I included the spi image to make sure that there is no discrepancy between the spi and the mebak.

Edit: Just realized that the mebak file uploaded is the renamed one from the repo. Here's the original dump (same as spibak, but just ME region) file: https://mega.nz/#!3VYkwCDA!SWyz1arjgMF1j...RISve_FUkK9Iu3I

Also i did cmos reset using jumper and remove cmos battery. Greset command is used everytime I flash the ME region.

I only checked outimage.bin initially, AMT is disabled in that as I mentioned, you need to check original vs outimage again and compare settings then make match, or use guide properly and it will transfer the settings.
However, I just checked your ME linked above and AMT is even more disabled in that one that the outimage I looked at from post one. So, AMT is disabled in your original backup, if that is the correct file. You need to enable it before building the image

I did not open anything before and after each other, and never downloaded SPI Dump. And when I do open some file after another, nothing is retained anyway as I delete all files inside folder before any time I open it.
Even if that is not done, settings are not retained when re-opening, I just checked to confirm. I opened your ME from #4, closed FIT, opened FIT again without deleting files inside folder, all settings reset to stock (nothing from previous file opened was there, not even same SKU)
When I commented above, at post #6, I was only talking about the ME you uploaded and posted at post #4

Please be aware, boot guard is enabled and hash set on that ME, and here is where AMT is disabled


plutomaniac I am not sure about the "Timeout" value, what it should be for enabled system, can it be left that way at 0x0001?

Guys, as I said above, follow the CleanUp Guide using "spibak.bin". To enable AMT, do it while following the guide by enabling any relevant settings as LOST showed above. Leave the Timeout as it is since it has nothing to do with MEBx.

@n0k0m3 - I initially checked only the outimage.bin from post #1, as I mentioned. Then later checked the other file you uploaded last in post #4.

I checked your latest uploaded outimage-spi.bin, fourth setting in AMT section is still set to disabled, set that to enabled (Manageability Application Initial Power up State), otherwise AMT is disabled until you enable it in MEBx interface
I also checked the actual BIOS settings and "Manageability Features State" and "AMT BIOS Features" are both enabled by default

Reflash the actual BIOS, using stock/normal method now, in case the issue is from some bugged item in BIOS itself.

@plutomaniac @Lost_N_BIOS Oh dang forgot the 4th option... may be that's the issue. Gonna fix it asap

Alright reflashed the stock backup BIOS, then flashed with @plutomaniac fix, still same problem.
Modded using FIT myself, the same problem (even with the 4th option enabled and with/without changing 5th option to 0xFFFF).
