I thought this meant I could, I have a 6-Series

?!? What could be wrong about my method ?

@futiless
You can't use "Intel ME System Tools v11 r19" for your Firmware 9.1.37.1002_1.5MB_PRD_RGN.bin

What Motherboard / Chipset do you have? If you use MEAnalyzer with -info, your current Firmware-Version should be displayed, what is it?

Why does UBU detect the wrong version of Intel MEI in my motherboard BIOS?

---

UBU resp. the included ME Analyzer detects the Intel ME Firmware of the BIOS file, which is provided by the mainboard manufacturer. The tool is not able to detect the Intel ME Firmware, which is within the BIOS chip of your system.

@MonarchX
"MEA -info" will Display the current Version of ME Firmware that is currently running on your PC. You can get the latest ME Analyzer here
The Ubu MEA detects the ME Version inside the bios-file you opened with Ubu!

If your Motherboard bios displays the latest version as you said, everything is fine

OK, so that means MEI Firmware Update doesn't actually change MEI Firmware... I updated my MEI Firmware using the appropriate updater and now BIOS shows the latest MEI version, but MEI Analyzer does not. Yet you say that it does detect the correct version...

@MonarchX
Running Bios:
- Has ME Firmware that runs on your system
- Has other Stuff that runs on your system
- running ME Firmware can be updated with "FwUpdLcl"
- Can NOT be opened with Ubu

Downloaded Bios:
- Has ME Firmware
- Has other Stuff
- ME Firmware in this file can be updated seperatly
- but not with "FwUpdLcl", other Tools are needed!
- no need to update if running Firmware is already up-to-date
- flashing bios can't downgrade ME Firmware in most cases
- Can be opened with Ubu to update modules

@Orsox:
THANK YOU! That made a lot of sense!

Honestly in concept it's likely something I have overlooked but I have had a similar issue in the past with a RIVE Asus board. Again likely something I have overlooked but perhaps someone can explain what I have done incorrectly. And major respect for the project and work in general thank you ... but would love to see it work past concept or understand why this is happening to me.
