It's interesting to see that ordinary ME update changed descriptor lock settings for ME region, but this new setup is actually better. No need to change anything.
The answer for original question: you need to disable Intel descriptor lock either by using external SPI flasher or by performing a HDA chip pinmod during boot. Both methods are dangerous and needed only if ME region is corrupted and needs a complete reflash.

Does this affect future ME firmware update or bios update?

No, if this updates will be done by normal vendor's tools.

Caught up, a few questions to the ones that are in the know.

There appears to be not much on what versions are better as Rst(e) or many other driver/firmwares. We must assume latest is better for all?

The reason I even stubble on the firmware in bios was that 1505 bios from asus recommend an update to run the new 4th and it was windows based. I read this was 9.0.30.1482 ime firmware . I installed your package 9.0.31.1487. Would 30 be better, worse, same for my hero vi board? Change logs would be gr8 on OP. But I also have google just appears to have limited hits, still need to read CodeRush's hard forum.

A brief idea of the exact differences in 9.0, 9.1, 9.5 would be helpful. I understand that some 87 boards are running 9.1 but have a hard time downgrading, What about 9.5?

Are 87 board 9.0 that's it?

I feel the placebo that my baby is smoother and more in tune, feeling better inside now .

Thankz again

Regards

P.S. Is there a search button in threads?

so asus releases 9.0.30.1482 for my board, would this be preferred to 9.0.31.1487. I will call it quits at 9.0 and buy a new board for future.

You cannot bubble through threads and point directly to post you are looking for, this is a bit of a handicap that must lead to addition posts/questions, no?

Absolutely no problems, was just trying to understand GBE 1.3 and 1.5 and search was not that gr8, answered on the first page which was helpful not to have to read all again.

What would be really appreciated is your thoughts on

so asus releases 9.0.30.1482 for my board, would this be preferred to 9.0.31.1487?

Regards

Intel Management Engine Interface (MEI) Drivers Version 10.0.25.1048 on Station drivers.......

Edit:
Seems is 10.0.20.1258 inside.

No, because v9.0.31.1487 is newer and compatible with your mainboard.
ASUS does not always offer the newest stuff for their mainboards.

Is it worth taking the complete package for my system (Z77 Sabertooth)?

Thanks!
