I have a rMBP 2016 and I scanned .fd bios file with MEAnalyzer and it says I don't have latest ME firmware. Which should I flash to not have surprises?
Could ME firmware be flashed via bootcamp? Any risk? I don't really know which is latest version for macbooks. And Windows via bootcamp says that firmware is vulnerable using Intel detection tool

@plutomaniac Thank you very much for such great tools you develop!
Looks like I have to flash 11.6.14.1241_SLM_LP_C0_NPDM_PRD_EXTR

LE: Tried to flash via bootcamp and FWUpdLcl gives me error 8834. Seems locked firmware. I goota search if apple has any tool that we can reflash me.

@ Knight:

That needs to get fixed, don't ignore it. Reflash the latest BIOS from MSI from the in-BIOS menu (M-Flash). If it has any option to reflash the ME region or similar, make sure you select it. If that does not help, try removing all power (AC) after shutting down, for 1 minute or so. If you still see N/A at the BIOS, contact MSI and tell them that your brand new board shows that after purchase.

@ bronxamigo:

You can ignore these warnings. Use the latest tools as provided in this thread.

@ Girjaman:

That is an OEM mess-up but doesn't affect anything so you can ignore it.

@ nikoZ:

What is the actual message of error 8834? You should apply the official Apple EFI updates via whatever mechanism Apple uses (I think with macOS updates but could be wrong). For now, all Slim are shown as Outdated because Apple hasn't released fixed firmware for Intel-SA-00086 vulnerability. So wait for that.

Ok. Thanks. It's just stopping by after checking firmware. I'll wait then.

Intel MEI Driver v11.7.0.1054 MEI-Only Installer

@ andr84:

I remember that we have talked in the past as well but I help so many users with so many different issues that I cannot possibly remember what your system's problem is, what we tried, what I suggested and so on. Especially after a long period of time. So I'd like you to tell me all these details, I don't have time to go back many pages and read them all to figure things out again. Help me out to maybe help you as well.

I describe it again in spoiler

Sometimes after shutdown or putting into sleep, after few seconds(2-3) PC starts itself back or wakes up from sleep. Being in sleep can also wake up not
after 2-3 seconds but later - half an hour, 2 hours - random time. During night can wake up few times. Bios reflash with built-in utility and windows fresh
install doesn't help(8.1 and 10 clean original untouched images), other PSU also doesn't work.

Doesn't matter in which way was shut down or sleep: sleep timer, case's power button or windows. Happens also if absolutely nothing is connected to PC
(only power cord). Motherboard itself is also free of extension cards. Desktop is mainly for net browsing and documents so no overclocking or similar,
all settings are default.

But what I can add now:
1. I can reproduce issue by following this way: remove power completely(I mean power cord out and wait ~1 minutes)->put power back and turn on PC->Shut
down or put sleep-> Turn on again->Shut down or put sleep again-> and I'm getting itself start or waking up(in other words it is every second time
shutdown or sleep after power were removed). But described scheme works systematically only once after power were completely removed and in future
happens randomly until next complete power removing.

2. Sometimes happens so if I hold power button pressed for 4 second(what should cut the power off) PC turns off and immediately starts again back(tried
another PSU with the same result)

When motherboard was new(~2 years ago) it gave me just black screen(no post signals, no some text or letters on screen). Local warranty said that it was due to 'dead'
ME and manufacturer's service probably repaired it by firmware(but what firmware exactly I don't know) reflashing method as they don't see resoldering marks.

I assume that the issue is somehow related to buggy standby(sleep) process but who is responsible for that bug that's the question. I read somewhere that
ME may be responsible for controlling processes during sleep and also that ME is only powered by +5V standby line

Just want to exclude bios issue, maybe after bad flashing during warranty process,and be sure that motherboard is defective.

Also using fptw64 -d I got dump. Maybe is possible to inspect it for errors? As you said earlier MeInfo and MeManuf both look ok.

Run Flash Programming Tool with command "fptw -d spi.bin" and compress & attach the resulting file.

Did it a bit earlier as test.bin in Windows mode.

Download the attached SPI image and flash via "fptw -rewrite -f H81MHD32.FB_fix.bin" followed by "fptw -greset". After the reboot, run MEInfo and MEManuf again to see that everything is ok and test whether the problem is gone.

does it matter I ran fptw64 to get dump and now use fptw?

No, same thing. Use "fptw64" if you like.

I'm happy to report that my Asus ROG Maximus X Apex finally got its Intel ME firmware fixed today. After trying about everything from fpt -greset, bios flashback and whatnot I was always stuck at v0.0.0.0 with no ME functionality. Asus released a new UEFI BIOS v0901 18. December and this update seems to enforce a Intel ME firmware update which re-flashed my ME Firmware back to 11.8.50.3399 and now I have successfully been able to manually update to 11.8.50.3426 without any issues.

I successfully managed to remove ME backdoor using me_cleaner using this command:
To clean the ME and set the MeAltDisable bit: me_cleaner.py -O cleaned_bios.bin -S dumped_bios.bin. No more ME problems and vulnerabilities.

@ RamGuy:

Yes when it comes to ASUS, they tend to tie the BIOS version with the CSME firmware on some motherboards, causing issues when updating manually. I suppose the board rebooted before updating the CSME firmware, that's how it's usually done.

@ nikoZ:

What backdoor? That's your own personal belief, not a fact. No matter what, me_cleaner reports must be posted at Issue 3.
