@ gihan :

There are three ways to combat this: a) use FWUpdate to downgrade the ME before flashing and then update it again, b) replace the ME Region with the one from the A13 update and then flash bios + update me manually again, c) modify the BIOS update files to ignore the newer ME and flash only BIOS

a) You cannot downgrade using FWUpdate because the 9.5.14 ME that is inside the A13 update has a VCN of 5 whereas your 9.5.45 ME has a newer VCN of 9.
b) Run Flash Programming Tool with command fptw -d SPI.bin and check if it reports Error 26. If it does, you cannot replace the ME Region with the one from the A13 update as your Flash Descriptor is locked.
c) I have attached the files that the A13 executable extracts (use WinRar v5.x). You can use SctWinFlash32 to manually flash your BIOS. The file you need in that case is DOH50A13.ROM.

Note: I take no responsibility for option c. It should work but I cannot even check the arguments of WinFlash without a PhoenixBIOS system.

@ those who send pms about the archives abeing "corrupt" :

They are not! WinRar v5.x or later is required. Read the first post carefully!

This is my first time dealing with updating Intel ME so sorry about the mountain of text and questions in advance.

I have a dell Vostro 270 that I just updated to latest bios that included the update for CPU microcode to address CVE-2017-5715 and and checked to see if the Me got updated and notice that the computer still has a very old version of Intel ME 8. I went looking for how to update it and found this form thread .

Some info on the motherboard from CPU-Z Northbridge Intel Ivy Bridge rev. 09, Southbridge Intel P75/B75 rev. 04


From what I am able to understand so far is that my computer uses Intel ME version 8.1.40.1416 and that it uses the Corporate versions and not the Consumer version and the windows 10 Driver is Version 11.0.5.1189 . From what I understand Intel ME 8 5MB Firmware v8.1.72.3002 is what I should update to.

Do I have to do anything else with my setup like clean it up or can I just flash it as it is ?
If there is anything else let me know .

@ MirceaForce:

The first post's Section A indicates clearly what should be done.

@ jonjongx:

Correct, nothing more to do other than FWUpdate.

For my Dell XPS 8500 / Vostro 470 with the latest bios, I have ME FW Version 8.1.2.1318 Consumer.

Is there anything else I have to do before I use FWUpdate to update to 8.1.70.1590_1.5MB_PRD_RGN.bin or do I just jump straight to flashing like I did on my Vostro 270 ?

@jonjongx

the firmware v8.1.70.1590_1.5MB_PRD_RGN.bin is extracted from dirt...you will have to use the clean up guide: [Guide] Clean Dumped Intel Engine CS(ME)/CS(TXE) Regions with Data Initialization , before..!

No, it's always the same procedure. Use FWUpdate. Cleaning is not needed when the firmware is healthy.
