That figures, usually write is blocked, but sometimes read is too It's OK, I can use what's in the A14 exe BIOS, update it and fix, then maybe/hopefully you can update it with ME FW update tool
Please wait a sec

@magicman - what you wrote about fixing via ME FW, that info is either incorrect for this BIOS/ME, or was written before these BIOS were on ME FW V9 (none of the details apply to this ME FW) = No Clock Source Select in registers for either profile, unless it's PLLRCS and this is not value desired (0x0013114)
Please wait, I will find the ME FW Bringup guide for this version and see if I can fix for you myself and then I will give info here for the next guy.
Right now, can you select ICC Profile 1 instead of 0? 0 = standard and 1 = OC (this is in there by default).

We could try removing standard and leaving only OC, before anything else, testing that as-is, but in case it fails you'd really need a flash programmer because you can't fix it without that if it messes up ME FW

Not able to! No option I see! ICC settings are ICC Lock Registers, PCI Stuff, and Watchdog Timer

I found a two prong service port as well on my board

Heres Images I took of the current state of the BIOS with ICC!

Please check with AIDA64, HWINFO64, or CPU-z motherboard tab, what is the chipset on this system.

Please see my edit above in #16 in case you missed anything. I'm not sure what you are saying "you not able to" in above reply? But, sounds like the BIOS you are using is not been fully unlocked yet, so this could be part of the issue too.
Nice you have service pins!! Now we know we can fix ME FW if it breaks Please wait, I am looking into all this

What do you mean previously with ICC?? Does it not look like that now??

Motherboard Chipset:Intel Z87 (Lynx Point)
That is the current state of the BIOS Now I was referring to using the images previously in another thread (My Bad)

OK, thanks. Before we do anything ME FW related (I still need to look in guide first anyway), here is new BIOS edit built on Genius239 edit you linked, this should now have a few more options available and selectable in the ICC section,
Please show me image of ICC area now after you flash BIOS, load optimal defaults, then reboot back to BIOS
http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?fil...298739436576047

Alright I got it about to flash!

Also, please test, ICC locks after EOP = All Unlocked too, reboot and then see if any changes

In regards to what you wrote before about fixing ME FW at BIOS-mods, your ME FW does not even have FCIM/BTM specific ICC registers section, so there is no 0x00011A33 to change
So that kind of fix does not apply (See End of #3 here, same as you mentioned - https://www.techinferno.com/index.php?/f...es-laptops/&;
It may just be this guide and kind of Info is for previous ME FW types, I'll know for sure once I get into the correct bringup guide for this ME FW version.

I see why you can't choose profile, profile selection is currently set to softstrap, this needs changed to by BIOS so you can select. But, default profile is already set to 1=Overclocking

Yep ICC Unlocks saved and reboot no go! Here is the image of what it looks like! What in the world is softsrap?

Can you set ICC Profile 1 manually now? Softstrap is a setting option in ME FW, this or BIOS is option, of how it decides default ICC Profile. Lets change this to BIOS, and then you recheck BIOS as it is. While I do this, I will update and clean ME FW
To flash this ME FW, put on service jumper, boot to windows, shut down, boot again to windows, then >> FPTw.exe -me -f memod.bin
Please wait for edit here, I will make this ME FW now and edit it into this post once done (so refresh in 5-10 minutes or so)

This all may be due to failed Dell ME FW update 9.0 family to 9.1, things like this are common issue with bad update to 9.1. Is fans running OK?
Can you change Bclk in other area of BIOS, or was that why you are in ICC area anyway? I didn't check, but usually there is other area to change bclk, so no need to ever look in ICC section to begin with.

* Edit- Actually @magicman, so I don't have to rebuild entire BIOS just to do ME FW stuff (I prefer working on BIOS as a whole with ME Edits), and so you will have a complete backup, lets do this.
Put on service jumper, boot to windows, shut down, boot to windows, then dump entire BIOS with FPT and send to me >> FPTw.exe -d SPI.Bin

Ok let me put on the jumper! Not able to change BCLK anywhere else there was nothing! Fans are good!
-----------------
Here is the dump

Thanks. Yes, I checked BIOS now, I don't see anything useful for CPU Bclk or clock speeds etc (not in ICC either). Is that your goal here, adjust Bclk?
If yes, you may not be able to, unless it's something I can't see in BIOS options, only appears on your end once ICC loads properly (which I doubt)

What does this do when you change it to OC2?
OemPerfTune Selection, VarStoreInfo (VarOffset/VarName): 0x8D, VarStore: 0x1, QuestionId: 0x65, Size: 1, Min: 0x0, Max 0x0, Step: 0x0 {05 A6 2C 03 2D 03 65 00 01 00 8D 00 10 10 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00}
One Of Option: OC1, Value (8 bit): 0x0 (default) {09 0E 2E 03 30 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00}
One Of Option: OC2, Value (8 bit): 0x1 {09 0E 2F 03 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00}

Yeah to get to the BCLKI OemPerfTune does nothing!
It wouldn't happen to have the hidden PLL number in there would it?

Please edit your posts if you want to add more info/questions etc. Thanks
Yes, I meant for you to play with it, see if anything changed. This is not related to ICC, just sounded like some overclock thing

OK, program this back in using the following commands. There is two BIOS here for you to play with, one with the ICC Profile section set to default (Softstrap), other set to BIOS instead. you may need to name them shorter names to use with FPT, without hyphen as well.
1. FPTw.exe -f filename.bin
2. FPTw.exe -greset

If at #2, system does not automatically reset, do the following. Shut down, remove power cable from the wall, press and hold case power on button for 15 seconds, then wait 1+ minute, so system is setting 1+ minute with a full power drain.
Then plug back in, boot into BIOS, load optimal, save and reboot back to BIOS and make any changes you need. Then checkout ICC again. This step only needs done once, if #2 above doesn't auto reset, this just ensures that the ME FW update goes in and ME State gets reset properly.

In your dump, once opened with Intel FITc I see error = SMBUS Address value was set to something invalid.
The app sets it back to default 0x28-NXP and plutomaniac says this error can be ignored, so unsure if really error/invalid, or just set proper is OK/expected, so that could be part of the issues here too.

Hey sorry been busy man trying to figure out this stupid HP Z400! I flashed both bios and nothing changed! When selecting profiles in the ICC section the BIOS freezes! So I packed the components back into the impossible z400 and giving it another look through!

-------------------------

Z400 got to be able to be changed! Thanks for trying though!

Did you do the -greset I mentioned, or 1+ minute power drain after flash?
