@ kevindd992002:

What the OP says is correct. That one person even quotes this thread but fails to understand. Obviously that reply cannot be trusted. Follow the instructions at the first post.

Thanks, that's what I thought. I was flashing ME's with my old Z68 board and didn't do any "transfer" or "merging" of setting of some sort so I was wondering what's different with the newer Z370 boards now. I'm very curious about what @KedarWolf has to say about this though. He experimented with this very recently and I think (not 100% sure) he's one of those that tried flashing an RGN ME firm on the ASUS Maximus X Hero and failed. As to what kind of failure he experience, I do not know. I hope he can chime in the discussion.

I flashed an EXTR version of the firmware before I knew it was 'dirty' and not the right firmware for my board, so I flashed back to the firmware that was in a BIOS from my board with help from the kind peeps here.

The RGN firmware wouldn't even flash and from what I understand the RGN doesn't have the board specific settings you need in it but I could be wrong.

What error were you encountering when trying to flash the RGN firmware? @plutomaniac stands by his OP that it should work. I will try it when I have time during the weekend and hopefully not break anything.

---

You are not the only one, happens to me as well, the RGN even has a different file size than EXTR, and the clean one, RGN I guess, does not flash.

Yes I stand by the OP 100%. To understand what you're doing wrong, please post details of your system as well as exactly what you're trying to flash.

Weird, the latest Intel CSME 11.8 Consumer PCH-H Firmware v11.8.55.3510 flashed just fine now. Went back to 11.8.50.3399 though as I get 200 more points in 3DMark TimeSpy with it over the latest.

I have firmware version 9.0.30.1482 5MB and Flash Image Tool 9.0.22.1467, for which version would you recommend upgrading? I want to upgrade using a hardware programmer

This is placebo or testing margin of error. That first version does not even fix the SA-00086 vulnerability completely, 3425 at minimum which also includes WPA2 KRACK. The latter firmware have also fixed other issues. There is no point in downgrading the CSME firmware, there are only disadvantages.

Since you have a programmer, I suggest you follow the Engine CleanUp Guide and at step 4 use the latest 9.1 5MB firmware. For the entire process, make sure to use the latest Flash Image Tool v9.1 from this thread.

---

I'm confused. Do you need to do the Engine Tuneup Guide stuff on the Intel CSME 11.8 Consumer PCH-H Firmware v11.8.55.3510 or can you just flash it as is?
