Here are some 11.5 clarifications that I've found:

@ Octopuss:

Ah, great. Then your FD is truly unlocked as the ME was reflashed, which is normally locked. You flashed the image I attached, right? That one has a fix at the FD by me to solve that Gigabyte stupid mistake. I'm curious, if you run FPT now (with the corrected FD), do you see the usual error when trying fptw -d spi.bin or not? Hopefully you won't see any error. As far as updating is concerned, you have ME6 5MB MB so you need to use FWUpdate tool with "Intel ME 6 Mobile 5MB Firmware v6.2.60.1066" found at the first post.

I actually flashed newer BIOS, http://www.mediafire.com/?rwcpwmz4qep3dpk. Is that a problem?

No, it's not a problem. I am just trying to figure out whether the wrong BIOS address at the FD that Gigabyte messed up is the cause of the FPT error. It's not ME related but here, I fixed the wrong FD BIOS address at 12j as well.

Side note: there's a mis-match between the page numbers on this thread.
Such as: clicking on "Page 163" at the top of the page results in this address appearing in the browser's address bar:
t596f39-Intel-Management-Engine-Drivers-Firmware-amp-System-Tools-162.html
So: it's off by one digit.

That might have worked!

So now that I am back at the beginning, the problem is that I cannot flash the ME.

Looks like you are missing a command line switch, try;

d:\Programy\Intel ME System Tools v6.x r3\FWUpdate\Local-Win>FWUpdLcl.exe -f 6.2.60.1066_5MB_DT_PRD_UPD.bin

1. EVGA Z370 Classified K, Core i9-9900KS @ 5.0 GHz, 4x8GB Patriot Viper Steel DDR4-4133 MHz,

@ rvail623:

That's a forum trait, not thread specific.

@ Octopuss:

Right, so it was indeed the stupidly configured FD by Gigabyte. Now you can also use FPT if it's ever required.

The command should be FWUpdLcl.exe 6.2.60.1066_5MB_MB_PRD_UPD.bin -generic and also why are you trying to flash 5MB DT (Desktop) firmware when you currently have 5MB MB (Mobile)? I have said three times already what firmware you need to flash exactly, no 1.5MB, no 5MB DT, no Ignition. Only 5MB MB.

@ chinobino:

Parameter -f is for 6-series (ME7) and up.

Sorry, the amount of files that look almost the same is a bit overwhelming. Also, it's not a notebook but a normal PC with regular motherboard, so the mobile part escapes me.

@chinobino there's no such parameter present in FWUpdLcl.exe

Also, what the hell?

For the disabled error, flash the attached image via the BIOS and try again.

Unfortunately that refuses to flash.

I run intel MEI 2010 on p8z68gen 3 board. Any benefit in updating to 11.0 version?

To update, should I just install the .exe file or there is more?

Thanks

@ Octopuss:

What refuses to flash? The BIOS via the BIOS menu or ME via FWUpdate? If it's FWUpdate, there is nothing else to adjust from Flash Image Tool to allow it to work. It should work now that we have fixed all prior issues.

@ sinofliberty:

You should install the latest v11.0 drivers from the first post. Use either MEI-Only Installer or INF based on your Device Manager knowledge.

Of course the BIOS, that's what I was directly replying to. It just says error flashing blabla and refuses to continue, right at the beginning.

It's good that it wasn't FWUpdate but that makes no sense. Maybe it's the extension? You can test by removing "_fix.bin" from the end of the file ("h55mud2h.12j") and try again via the BIOS menu.

Otherwise, since we can now use FPT to replace the ME region with the setting I changed, run fptw -f me_fix.bin -me command followed by fptw -greset and once your system has reset try FWUpdate again.
