plutomaniac hello, please help me with bios update for 1151 socketed boards with Z270-chipset (MSI Z270 GAMING M5 https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/....html#down-bios ):

If bios have version 11.6 of ME, which version of FPT I can use for updating- this version Intel ME System Tools v11.6 r4 - (Updated: 16/12/2016) ?

When the new version of ME (for example 11.7) at the BIOS will be released, can I update or downgrade bios with this version of FPT?

Intel MEI v11.6.0.1047 for Consumer systems Drivers & Software

Thanks to Fdrsoft/SD for the new drivers!

@ grml4d:

Correct for ME8. The other board uses SPS2 firmware. We have no tools for SPS2 and SPS do not use FWUpdate or the same tools as ME. Also, I don't understand how versions work exactly, meaning what's newer or older. It's not as simple as ME or TXE. So leave that system as it is.

@ ANTIBIOTIK:

You need to download and use ME System Tools v11.6. Before you update, since you are the first 200-series user I've encountered, run "MEInfoWin64 -verbose" and post the result here.

I don't use this board, but some people ask me about update with FPT and I decide to download bios and look inside with UEFItool and MEAnalyzer, if I will have board based on Z270-chipset I will post the result here

Updating is done via FWUpdate tool, not FPT. For Consumer PCH-H firmware, download the equivalent latest ME11.6 from the start post. To learn how to use FWUpdate, use parameter "-?".

There is no point in discussing a hypothetical 11.7 branch. Upgrading/downgrading is entirely up to Intel. If we ever see such a branch, we'll know then.

Maybe You said about update only ME without BIOS?

Usually I used FPT for update both parts- BIOS+ ME

Sat Jan 21, 2017 1:47 am

Yes, FWUpdate is used when you want to update the ME code only. The system-specific ME configuration data inside the ME region are left untouched.

To reflash the entire SPI image you can use FPT. The input must be your own system's SPI image dump or the official one from the manufacturer. That requires having an unlocked Flash Descriptor which is not often done due to security reasons.

Generally, never use FPT to update/reflash the ME region unless it's your own ME dump, the ME extracted from the SPI image of the OEM or a ME cleaned via the cleanup guide. FPT is a general SPI flasher. It could flash a .bmp image into the SPI chip if you were to tell it to do so.

plutomaniac and last question)))))thanks for your help

FPT version 11.6 can flash bios with ME version 11-11.5 or only 11.6 ?

All tools work on their equivalent platforms. FPT 11.6 can work at all 11.x systems. After it accepts the platform, you can flash whatever you want, as I said above. In some cases, it might be better to use 11.0 tools at 11.0 firmware instead of 11.6 due to bugs which are caused by the fact that 11.6 is new and backwards compatibility buggy. The opposite does not apply, people should use 11.6 tools at systems with 11.6 firmware (especially 200-series).

When I need update to newer version , for example socket 1155- 6 to 7? I must using newer version of fpt (7.xx) or old version (6.xx) can do it?

Am I supposed to guess? I don't understand these hypothetical/improbable questions. They don't matter. If and when such a thing exists, you'll ask then. Not in advance.

For now use 11.0 tools at systems with 11.0 firmware and 11.6 tools at systems with 11.6 firmware, simple as that.

Instead of waiting a long minute, just pull out the power cord (or use switch on backside of PSU) and then press front case power button. You may observe that LEDs will blink for a short moment - this means that capacitors in PSU are discharged now. Then pull the power cord back (or flip PSU swith) and turn on PC again.

Intel ME 11.6 Corporate PCH-LP Firmware v11.6.13.1212

After flash, report FWStatusRegister3 value as seen at MEInfo -verbose.

Is there anyone with a Corporate LP system who has a hardware programmer and can do some tests?

Changes to the 1st post regarding Power Down Mitigation (PDM) and ME 11.5:

All 11.5 Drivers & the incomplete System Tools v11.5 are now removed. Check 100/200-series 3rd warning for explanation.

Users of PCH-H systems should not be concerned about Power Down Mitigation (PDM) when updating/downgrading firmware. From what I understand, it seems to be specific to PCH-LP systems and most probably at 11.0 firmware only, not 11.6. Based on tests performed by Pacman, it seems to have first appeared at 11.0.0.1183 firmware. But I'd really like to find a Consumer/Corporate LP user who can recover from bad flashes to help me understand further, especially since PDM is PCH-LP specific as previously mentioned. However, I always expect a "MEInfo -verbose" report when you flash any 11.0, 11.5 or 11.6 firmware which has the "ReadFirst.txt" file at the downloaded archive. Check 100/200-series 2nd warning for explanation.

I have to say a big thank you to Pacman for all recent 100/200-series reports (FWUpdate 11.6.10.1196 fixed the update bug with EXTR, PDM not relevant to PCH-H, at what firmware PDM started, improvements in MEA v1.8.1 etc).
