Thanks for the info @plutomaniac - Do you think I can find that specific version, or at least one similar 4.00.04.288? Or is this something not posted publically anywhere and I shouldn't waste time looking?
If you have a copy you could send privately that would be great, I wont post it anywhere.

@Bugger Vance - You need a CH341A flash programmer, they're cheap usually only $2.50-$4
https://www.ebay.com/itm/263458010112 - Choose "Blue" model

Since your BIOS is soldered to the board, grab one of these too (Assuming BIOS uses this type chip, please post an image of your motherboard if you can, or laptop model, then I can try to confirm)

Please don't send PM's for help on BIOS edits, I can't help with BIOS in PM's. Please make a thread and I will try to help as soon as I can - thanks!
If you appreciate my efforts and are willing to donate to help improve my hardware, gift cards work for me (Amazn, NuEgg, eBa) - send me a PM
I view the forum like this, please bump your thread 1x every 24-48 hours if no reply

How can I get the '11.8.55.3399_CON_H_D0_PRD_EXTR.bin' and '11.8.55.3425_CON_H_D0_PRD_EXTR.bin' firmware? I've spent hours trying to find downloads, no luck.

And the Intel CSME 11.8 Consumer PCH-H Firmware v11.8.55.3510 firmware download on the first post is '11.8.55.3510_CON_H_D0_PRD_RGN.bin' firmware and not the '11.8.55.3510_CON_H_D0_PRD_EXTR.bin' firmware and doesn't flash on Asus Z370 motherboards. :(

You don't want any EXTR ME Region (Unless it's from your own extraction from onboard properly running ME).
Only use PRD_RGN ME files, then clean / transfer your current ME/BIOS setting to that ME following the guide to clean ME - [Guide] Clean Dumped Intel Engine (CS)ME/(CS)TXE Regions with Data Initialization

If you are still lost on how all that works, please upload a dump/backup of your current BIOS from the board (Not from download online BIOS) and I can redo the BIOS for you with clean ME.

If you do want to use your own extracted ME from a previous BIOS dump or backup, you can use that but it's not ideal.
It can be used to insert via BIOS editing tools and then reflashed by BIOS update, or flashed via fwupdlcl -f me-name.bin

I already updated my board from the downloaded '11.8.55.3510_CON_H_D0_PRD_EXTR.bin' that used to be in the Download section. I want to downgrade to the '11.8.55.3399_CON_H_D0_PRD_EXTR.bin' version for one board. Is there any way to extract the dump from the BIOS I want the MEI firmware from? On another board that I flash the '11.8.55.3510_CON_H_D0_PRD_EXTR.bin' firmware I need to flash the same version but with the clean dumped intel regions. When you flash the BIOS to the motherboard it doesn't downgrade the MEI firmware to the one found in the BIOS. So unless I can extract a dump from the BIOS I think I can't flash the correct cleaned dumped version.

I wish I had of known this beforehand that it wasn't as easy as flashing the latest MEI firmware. :(

Yes, open the BIOS you want to extract known working ME version from in UEFITool, expand the Capsule or Intel UEFI section, then you will see descriptor and ME section.
Right click ME and extract, like this. Same for replacing, open BIOS, replace ME with new/other as-is

ME reflash can be done via the command I gave above, no matter if BIOS reflashing does not do this, the fwupdlcl tool will flash it

Also, sometimes USB Flashback will reflash ME I think, so you can try that too if you don't want to use the proper Intel ME FWupdate tool tool mentioned above (fwupdlcl)
If you do want to try that, download the Intel ME system tools package in first post section C2, that matches your current ME version type (ie 8, get v8, 9.5 get 9.5 etc)
Or you can use FPT method below to flash everything at once.

You can dump BIOS with FPT - https://www.sendspace.com/file/20hbsl

Here is backup commands for Intel FPT,

Right click main apps folder name while holding shift (ie right click "WIN" folder)
select "open command window here" then run command below

fptW -d backupbios.bin

If the above gives you error about CPU or region access, do the command below instead. If this happens, you will possibly need a CH341A flash programmer ($3 on ebay, get blue/green version not black)
fptw -bios -d biosbck.bin

Also, you can use Intel FPT to flash the BIOS from windows, this will flash the ME region with whatever is in the BIOS, it reflashes all regions of the BIOS (Do backup first, always)
fptw -rewrite -savemac -f bios.bin

After that command run this command to reset the ME state (Or remove all power, unplug from the wall, remove CMOS battery and press and hold the power on/off switch for 5-10 seconds, then wait one minute before putting battery/power back)
fptw -greset

When I ran 'fptw -rewrite -savemac -f bios.bin' I got a write protect error but I managed to flash the BIOS with the AMIBIOS and Aptio AMI Firmware Update Utility and then did 'fptw -greset' after completely powering off, removing CMOS battery and unplugging the power cord a minute.

Now I just need to make a dump/backup of my current BIOS from the board. How exactly do I do that, please?

Edit: The firmware flash with AFUDOS never worked, I checked the firmware, still 3510. :(

Second edit: USB BIOS Flashback does not downgrade the firmware, still 3510.
