11.8.71.3630 consumer H seems to be working on h110 from msi. What intel me should i install 11.7.0.1057 ?

Dear all,

Want to fix CSME security bugs for a Dell E6520. Latest available BIOS version A22 is installed. CSME Firmware version is now 7.1.91.3272 (still vulnerable regarding Intel SA00086).
You have listed a newer Version: "Intel ME 7 5MB Firmware v7.1.92.3273"

Can I install it hassle-free via Windows or do I need a SPI Flash programmer device? Is it very risky to brick it or to get an unstable system (shutdown after 30min or other "Features")?

Here are some Infos from MEInfo tool:

@Fernando:
Thanks for this advice. However this Version doesn't support most of the older CSME firmwares - only "for systems that include a 6th-10th Generation". For older CSMEs you have to use the legacy Version (which obviously doesn't include current security flaws) :( :
Intel® Converged Security and Management Engine (Intel® CSME) Detection Tool for Legacy Systems

The legacy Version also states that my System is still vulnerable to SA00086:


--> the Question remains: Is updating the Firmware _normally_ hassle-free or is it a 50:50 process ;-)

hi all, can someone please explain which MEI firmware to update my Z390 [ASUS ROG Maximus XI Extreme]? The version installed is 12.0.49.1534 H Consumer with PMC FW Version 300.2.11.1021. i think v12.0.55.1521 is the latest ME FW which is what I tried to update, but got errors [see below] . I can usually work this out myself, but as page 1 now explains some stitching has to be done with v12 FW, which has me confused regarding how to do this. Any help would be much appreciated.

PS if stitching needs to be done, and there is someone here who can do this for me, or have the FW already stitched, could you please upload the file or link to such a file? TIA and please excuse my ignorance if I have this all wrong.
PSS when I try to update the firmware with Intel's FW flash tool using the command line "FWUpdLcl64.exe -f CNP_H_B_Cons_FWU_Base_Production.bin" [v12.0.55.1521] i get the following error:

Error 499: Update to Image with lower ARB SVN is not allowed.

The "Intel CSME 12.0 Consumer PCH-H B,A Firmware v12.0.55.1521", which had already been checked by plutomaniac (look >here<), is now available on >this< Station-Drivers page.

Thanks for your reply. I spelt it out that I am limited at this point on how I should go about updating my mobo's FW, However, I doubted that updating an incorrect FW "version" [in this case upgrading using an older version, which I couldn't tell going by version numbering as it is incorrect in this case, which I now know thanks to you], would not be that stoopidly written to brick my mobo, but spit out an error code as it should, and as it did. I did read the first post as I explained however, as I clearly explained, I'm confused regarding how to go about stitching FW or if in fact it needs to be stitched in my case. I now know that if the version number was correct, I would have been able to update the FW without an issue like I have done so numerous times in the past. I'm reasonably PC tech savvy but like all of us, I was having a stoopid moment of my own making lol

Hi, dont know if this is the right place to post this, but is anyone able to check if i updated this bios image correctly with the latest ME and PMC firmwares please. I followed the guide and compared all the settings in between them in multiple fit windows and everything seems right, but im having some doubts, becuse it seemed to easy to do.

Original Bios
Changed Bios

Check if your ME firmware is healthy with MEInfo/ MEManuf first (same package).
