I have another question.
Now i want to update my BIOS(2.20) with "UEFI BIOS Updater".
I wanna know if flashing 2.20 bios again will rewrite ME FW to older version,because in the 2.20 BIOS is ME FW 8.0.2.1402 and it is flashed when you flash BIOS.
It is described here http://forums.tweaktown.com/asrock/53784...her-boards.html

2. After updating BIOS, please press any key to restart your system. At this moment, please do not remove the USB flash until Intel ME F/W update is finished.

Should i try to downgrade ME FW manualy before flashing BIOS and is it possible?
And if i leave this ME FW 8.1.52.1496 and try to flash BIOS 2.20 could i brick the MB?

Thanks.

I just flashed my updated 2.20 BIOS,i was updated CPU Microcode and OROM IRST SATA.
All went well and ME FW remained v8.1.52.1496 :)

@hanson

Responding to your PM, maybe someone else with the same board will need it. Attached 2 files with the same content, but one is compressed and saves you 230KB of space. I used the same logic as previous patch, so it should be safe. Use the same method of replacing and flashing.

Thank you so much mate! I'll check it out immediately...

So @ everybody with a ASRock X79 Extreme6: this modded amitse.ffs let's you flash any Intel ME firmware (of course it has to be compatible with the chipset)

Best regards hanson

@Fernando

By the way I have another question: do I need a efi/satadriver module (ffs file) that is TRIM modded to get TRIM functionallity on my X79 board (using dev.2822)? From a previous post by you I understood that the TRIM mod is only needed for the OROMs and the drivers do support it natively. But now I found TRIM modded EFI/SATA driver modules in your downloadsection...

@lordkag

If it's no stress for you could you maybe modify the TRIM modded EFI/SATA driver module from 12.9 branch for me so that the name appears as "satadriver12" and the BIOS dependencies are suitable for my board? We had this matter a couple of weeks ago together with another member and you prepared a set of EFI drivers from 11.6 -13.1 for me (but I think they're unmodded)

Best regards hanson

OK thank you for the quick reply. I was not sure as the X79 belongs to Intel's 6 series chipsets...

Just a heads up. The reason that many boards are having trouble with v9.1 & 9.2 ME Firmwares is that its BIOS counterpart the ICC Libraries are unable to communicate if they are still v9.0 based.
This results in BCLK and other issues...

Guys...anybody has System Tools 9.1.x.xxxx...?

with FWUpdLcl64 v.9.1.x.xxxx

v.9.0.xx.xxxx didn't work on Z97 system.

Seems that in last package with v.9.1.2.1010 will work......
Let you know later.

Edit:
yea,is working on Z97 system...

Hmm,not so....bat file (text to flash) is important.This is the reason I cann't flash.
