Hey guys, first post to the Win-RAID forums!

Anyways, I ran across your thread on the UBU and this one randomly, and decided to give it a go. I used the UBU no problem, that was easy. However, I am having trouble trying to flash IME.

I am on a P67A-GD80, using the ME7 BIOS still (I'm a Sandy user/overclocker, so I don't want to upgrade to ME8). I am also on Windows 8.1 x64. I can read me IME version just fine with the tool, however I can't seem to flash it. Is it because the tool is x32 and I am on x64? I also tried using it in DOS and got an obvious error, lol. Is there an obvious step I'm missing, or do I have to use a x32 OS in order to flash ME7?

Thanks for your guy's help in advance.

I am sorry, but I don't have gotten access to a 64bit installer for ME7 systems.
Maybe you should try to boot off a 32bit Live CD/DVD and then run the 32bit ME7 installer.

Is there any suggestions for a x32 live CD/DVD? One that is particularly easy to use... lol. Or is it possible to boot off of a Win7 x32 install disk and use the command prompt within there?

The best would be a Windows PE CD.

I don't think, that this will work, but if you have a free partition, you can temporarily install Win7 32bit, flash the ME7 Firmware and then format the partition again.

Okay, I created a small partition for Win7 x32. I copied the flash tool over to the C:\Win32 and executed the flash.bat via CMD (as admin). I am getting the following error: "X is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."

Any ideas?

Thanks for your help so far, the link you sent me seems to have the flash.bat working now at least. However, I am now getting the following error after the backup happens and when it tries to flash: "Error 8714: Firmware update not initiated due to file [me.bin] open or read failure".

I re-downloaded everything in case something was corrupted, but same thing happened.

Since I am offering the ME 7 Firmware for quite a long time and didn't yet get any feedback like yours, I am confident, that your problem can be solved.
Tomorrow I will search for an alternative download link to the ME 7 Firmware.

@ frankie90:

Meanwhile I found >here< an other download link to the latest ME 7 Firmware v7.1.60.1193 (it seems, that the uploader has gotten the source files from my site).
If you should no succeed with that ME.bin file, I recommend to post, what the MEInfo tool shows for your system.

Hello Fernando,

recently I flashed the 7.1.85.1216 5MB ME firmware on my Q67 system successfully under Windows 7 x64 !!! Seems to me that you don't need an explict x32 OS for that.

Hi there Fernando,

Looks there's the Intel ME Firmware Version 8.1.55.1506 (5Mo) <here>

also there's typo mistake here:

Zitat
Here are Intel's official links to the "latest" (?) Intel ME packages for the different ME version series:
�>Link to the Intel ME 9.5 package v9.5.3.1520<
Note: This package has been primarily designed for Intel 8/9-Series Mobile Systems, but the included MEI Driver works with Intel 7-Series as well.

This should be the v9.5.24.1790 listed as per link you made it for.

Regards.

Asus Z77-V-LE PLUS / i5 3570K (Delidded) / G.Skill DDR3 1600MHz (16Gb) / HDD & SSD Caching Raid0 / Creative Sound Blaster Z / Asus Dual-RX480-O4G / In Win C 900W 80+ Platinum / Thermaltake Chaser A71 / Win 7 Pro x64 (non-uefi boot)/

Thanks for the info.
Meanwhile this updated ME8 5M Firmware v8.1.55.1506 is within the start post of this thread.

Thanks for this additional info.
Now the text of the link has been corrected. Obviously Intel had updated the linked ME 9.5 package version after I have written this part of the start post.
