Ive tried twice on 2 separate clean installs on Windows 10 pro. Only some drivers are installed, nothing else has been installed.

I read that only EFI booting is supported via USB, will try installing a dos bootable onto a CD and give that a shot.

If that doesn't work, we can try the last option.

Having a bit of an issue. Ive downloaded a 6.22dos iso from here http://www.allbootdisks.com/download/iso.html

Used winiso to add MEINFO fwupdlcl etc into said ISO and burned the image. I can boot into the CD (says installer failed no drives found for some reason) and proceeds to a A:\ prompt.

It does not want to see these files as when i run either it says "bad command or file not found"

Any idea. Might be the wrong ISO not sure.

@ Nickle_odeon:

Yes, if you get a programmer it will be a piece of cake. I have attached the latest ASRock Z77 Extreme 4 BIOS (P2.90M) with the Flash Descriptor unlocked. Flash the whole 8MB SPI image and that will also include the ME region you originally intended to fix.

I received the programmer a few days ago, but I was struggling with getting my other PC to recognize the device. Finally got everything straightened out, followed the instructions provided elsewhere on this forum for using the CH341A programmer, and after about 7 minutes of ::fingers crossed:: "I hope I didn't screw this up", I am here to report success. All of my original board functions have returned, integrated graphics, overclocking features, etc. Thank you for taking the time to assist me. Could you point me in the direction towards how you developed the modded BIOS file? Is it just using the UEFITool that I have seen referenced or something more? Now that I have the programmer, I might want to try to get some more use out of it.

I have a P8Z77-V PREMIUM "7-series systems" that i've updated to "Firmware v8.1.65.1586"

This may seem like a stup!d question, can a "7-series systems" run "v9.0.31.1487" or higher ?

Hello,

Thank you for this post and for the help. I googled and came here in hope for some help.

I'm having issues with my motherboard Asus Z97-Pro (wifi). I can't install the Intel ME driver. The Firmware version in the bios is N/A.

I downloaded the file Intel ME System Tools v9.1 r7.rar from the first post.

Unfortunately, when I try fptw64 -d ME.bin -me I have an error 26 but fptw64 -d ME.bin -bios will output the file with an "FPT operation passed" message. But that's all I could get to.

I tried to flash Intel ME Firmware v9.1.37.1002 (1.5MB) using FWUpdLcl64 -f but i have an error 8743 unknow or unsupported platform...

I launched MEInfoWin64 but I have error 9256 communication error and error 0099 unknown error

Same with MEManufWin and error 9278 unknown or unsupported plaform...

I tried to reflash latest MB bios (2702) from ASUS but no changes.

Could you please tell me what you think and if there is something that can be done to sort it out?

Thank you

@plutomaniac

Thank you for your answer.

I had already done ftpw -greset. I just tried again with the same result, I have a confirmation of the reset, then the pc reboots, in the bios ME firmware version is still N/A.

I tried again but I can't install the drivers as the same error occurs : "platform not supported" (I tried those on the CD and the last one I downloaded from Asus).

I'm using Windows 8.1 x64, I just tried to reboot into DOS but it refuses to execute any of the programs saying they are not compatible with my version of windows... Does this mean I have to boot into a DOS usb key?

edit: no there is no Intel management Engine Interface in the device manager under system devices and there is no error report in the device manager either.

@plutomaniac

Thank you for your detailed answer.

So, ok I booted under DOS and tried MEInfo which reports error 8202 AMT device unavailable and MEManuf which report error 9255 internal error. They both report communication error.

I haven't done anything to the bios, I don't even know where these options could be. Anyway, I checked the bios and haven't found them. I redid a flash of different version of the bios including the most recent, with default restore, clear cmos jumper, but it's still the same.

Ok I'm going to get the programmer (ty for the link). What would be the "whole SPI image"? I suppose the SPI chip is the chip with 8 "legs"

Thanks again for the help.
