I have found Intel MEI Firmware 10.0.25.1048_1.5M.bin in this HP BIOS, which is for HP ENVY x2.

A big WARNING!!! This might only work on newer laptops/tablets. Test only if you have a programmer to revert.

The same BIOS has Intel RAID 13.1.0.2118, but labelled as 13.5.0.2118, VBIOS 1027, GOP 5.5.1021, VBT 1215_VBT184, possibly some Broadwell microcodes.

Can you actually lose the OC capabilites on your motherboard when updating the MEI firmware?.

I updated the MEI firmware on my Gigabyte H81 (from 9.0.XX.XXXX can't remember to last 9.0.31.1487) and now i can't boot into Windows if i have my CPU overclocked. (I got a Pentium G3258 those are unlocked and with the latest bios versions u can do some basic overclocking).

And i don't know how to flash back as i don't have a backup (and don't even know exactly the version i had before).

:(

EDIT: I actually got the previous firmware saved but i cant restore it, i have to do it under DOS

First i get ERROR 8772: Invalid usage, -allowsv switch required to update the same version firmware.

And when i use that switch, the flash starts but stops with the next error on sage 4:

Error 8741: FW Update Failed.

Error 8708: Firmware update failed due to an internal error

Something i noticed is the saved firmware (old.bin) is only 1,21MB and the one i used is 1,48MB.

I can update between 9.0.31.1487 and 9.0.30.1482 (it is another firmware i found) but not to the saved (old.bin) one :(

EDIT2!!: I managed to extract the MEI firmware from my original BIOS using HxD and flash it! Awesome guide here: http://forums.tweaktown.com/gigabyte/548...e-firmware.html
But i still have the same issues... :O

Got an old laptop here - XPS1645 - using 720qm CPU (PM55 chipset). It's currently got ME firmware version: 6.0.20.1185.

The first page starts on version 7, does anyone know if there is a newer version for this?

At Station-Drivers (>link<) you can find the Intel ME Firmware v6.2.60.1066, but I don't know, if it is suitable for your system.

EDIT: It is obviously only for 5M Business systems like the Intel ME Firmware v6.2.60.1066, which I am offering within the start post of this thread.

I have something newer for 1.5M, but users should decide on their own if they really want to flash such firmware.

Hi. I have a big problem with my board Asrock X79 Extreme 11. I'm going to format my pc and reinstall the driver but when I install the Intel Management Engine I have allways this problem:

Impossible to start up the device. Code 10

I try several time to format, reinstall the original bios (3.30 and 3.20) and some MEI driver (not the last 10.xxx) but I have the same result...

Where is the problem???

Thank you so much!

This is what I recommend to do:
1. Open the Device Manager, right click onto the yellow marked device and choose the option "Uninstall".
2. Reboot.
3. Reinstall the driverpack I am offering within the start post of this thread or let the OS search for a suitable driver.

Good luck!

Ok but which is the correct driver for my system (X79 chipset)?

Is possibile to upgrade the intel management firmware? If yes which is the correct firmware??

Thank you so much!

You can easily verify, if the latest Intel MEI drivers v10.0.28.1000 WHQL (linked within the start post) do support the hardware of your X79 chipset mainboard:
Open the Device Manager, right click onto the related Controller and choose the options "Properties" > "Details" > "Property" > "HardwareIDs".
Now you can see the DeviceID of the Controller (it looks like "DEV_XXXX"). Then compare it with the DeviceIDs, which are supported by the driver (look into the start post of this thread).

You may be able to update the ME Firmware, but an ME Firmware update is not required for a proiper installation of trhe ME driver.
If you want to know the current Intel ME Firmware version of your system, you should run the MEInfo tool for ME8 series. You can find the tool within the start post of this thread.

You should not run the Intel METool from within the desktop.
Copy the MEInfo tool folder named Win64 to the root of your system drive C:, run the Command Prompt as Administrator, navigate to the folder C:\Win64 and run MEInfoWin64.exe.
If this shouldn't work either, you may try the MEInfo tool for ME7 systems.

I don't think, that a hardware problem has caused the error message.
Questions:

What about the device, which is listed within the Device Manager as "Intel(R) Management Engine Interface"? Is it still not working? If yes, what have you tried to solve the problem?
Have you ever tried to update the Intel ME Firmware? If yes, has it been successful?

Zitat

Yes, if you should get an original BIOS chip for your mainboard.

I don't know which device don't work! The pc works perfectly! Only linx test don't work even at default and I think that the problem is the Intel Management driver!

I try from DOS; I made a bootable pen and with the file that you tell me to download I try to upgrade but the result is the same error!!!

Yes, if you should get an original BIOS chip for your mainboard.
