There's a mention in today's "Security Now" podcast of disabling the Intel ME:

"Alt Disable Mode" is PCHSTRP10[7] in ME <11.0

(via https://twitter.com/IgorSkochinsky/status/902212820711989248)

What makes this "better" then any other method: The ME is "untouched". The normal way was to delete most of the ME and then flash it. If the FD is open or you have access to an SPI flasher i think thats the way to go if you're not running "maximum privacy mode".

Just FYI:

I updated a MSI H170A Board (Corporate PCH-H SKU) from 11.6 to 11.7 MEI using FWUpdate. MeManuf and MeInfo both give the all clear. OEM BIOS only includes 11.6 ME but 11.7 runs fine.

Hello,
when Flash Image Tool decompress "Intel ME 11.7 Consumer PCH-H Firmware v11.7.4.3314" bin,
then the file "ISHC.bin" is missing. So when I try to build image then an error occurs because of this file is missing.
Is that normal?
Thank you

Thanks for sharing. I have a question, if I may. Do you know if the very first BIOS for your MSI H170A had ME v11.0 and then did a BIOS update also update ME to v11.6 ? In other words are you aware whether the release-to-market of your mobo came out with ME v11.0 and not v11.6?

The reason I ask is that my ASUS mobo with a Z170 chipset initially came out with ME v11.0 and then a BIOS update updated ME to v11.6. So I am wondering if your MSI mobo went through the same process?

I updated ME to v11.7 a while ago, but I downgraded back to v11.6 due to that particular ME v11.7 version had issues. However, I would like to try the fixed version of ME v11.7 like you have done. If anyone here advises against that then I am all ears!

On my Sabertooth X99, W10 64bit, I use Intel MEI driver v11.7.0.1037.
MEI firmware is v9.1.37.1002.

@ greg.chalk:

Why are you trying to build an image at FIT with that EXTR firmware?

Please follow the Engine Region Cleanup Guide to do what you are asking. Although that guide by virtualfred is what helped me in the beginning as well, 3 years ago, it is outdated today with various mistakes and should not be followed anymore. There is also another "guide" at ghostlyhack forums which is terrible and people must not follow it.

Is there a way to upgrade from Intel® Standard Manageability SKU to full AMT ?

On Lenovo Thinkcentre I upgraded from latest Lenovo provided 11.0.27.3000 to Intel ME Firmware v11.0.28.3002 (COR H) but it still shows only ISM
