You are typing something wrong. What command do you type? Basically this is what you need to do after you download the two files I said above:

1. Extract the firmware and rename the .bin file to ME.bin (to make it easier later on)
2. Extract the tool and go to Windows folder, copy ME.bin file alongside FWUpdLcl
3. Open a command prompt and type:

FWUpdLcl -f ME.bin -allowsv

4. Restart your computer
5. Run MEInfo and MEManuf to make sure everything is fine as mentioned at the first post

Glad it worked out for you. Thank you Div for the new firmware info, I will add it tomorrow when I have some time.

* New ME9.5 Firmware 1.5MB from v9.5.40.1892 --> v9.5.41.1904
* New ME9.5 Firmware 5MB from v9.5.40.1892 --> v9.5.41.1904

Happens on my Gigabyte Z77 system as well. Download v8.1.40.1416 driver and install that instead. This is also mentioned in the main thread by the way:

Note 1: The older driver versions linked below are the latest of each ME major version/branch and are provided for compatibility reasons in case you encounter issues with the newer drivers when using an older system. For example, some 7-series (ME v8.x) systems encounter a MEI driver Code 10 or 43 error after wakeup from sleep with any driver higher than v8.1.40.1416 which is the last of the ME8 branch.

It's normal, v8.1.40.1416 = v9.0.0.1287

* Updated at ME System Tools v7.x: 1.5MB FW Bring Up Guide v7.1.10.1065 --> v7.1.20.1119
* Updated at ME System Tools v7.x: Cougar Point SPI Programming Guide from v0.82 --> v1.0
* Updated at ME System Tools v7.x: ME SW Installation Guide from v1.5 (Fw7.0) --> v1.51 (Fw7.1)

If you are talking about System Tools v7.x, the link is working just fine.

EDIT: Lately there has been an increase of the amount of people who wrongfully update their ME firmware on 8-series systems from v9.0 to v9.1. This should not be done even though FWUpdate allows it. The "upgrade" causes BCLK and fan control issues which results in a non-properly functioning ME. To revert back to ME v9.0 firmware you cannot use v9.0/v9.1 FWUpdate tools as they won't allow the downgrade. The use of FPT Tool is required to reflash the whole ME region and repair the damage. Unlike FWUpdate though, FPT requires an unlocked Flash Descriptor (which is often locked per Intel recommendations for security reasons). If your motherboard has a locked Flash Descriptor, you need to unlock it using the HDA_SDO "pinmod" method (example). If your motherboard has an unlocked Flash Descriptor you can freely use FPT to reflash the ME region with your motherboard's BIOS extracted ME region (use UEFITool by CodeRush for that). It's important to use the ME region extracted from your motherboard's BIOS because FPT rewrites everything, unlike FWUpdate which just updates the FW version while keeping all platform/system settings intact.

@all:
* Reuploaded ME System Tools v7.x to remove a duplicate file

@All:

Apparently these is also ME Firmware & Tools v9.6. These tools + firmware seem to be for Intel LP systems (probably haswell, not sure) and are dated November 2013 (yes, you read correctly - they have been available for a year). The firmware & tools came inside the v9.6.0.1038 "drivers" (which were v9.5.x drivers really) and contain some documents from ME v9.5 (System Tools User Guide most noticeably) and others from ME v9.6 (FW Bring Up Guide etc). There are one or two documents though that have to do with Android which is important.

My wild guess is that this firmware is for convertible laptops, the ones you can switch between Windows + Android. If I remember properly though, either Microsoft or Google did not like the idea of such machines and so Asus (who is the leaker by the way) & other OEMs with similar planned devices, never released such a convertible product. That could explain why we haven't stumbled across such a firmware & tools in the past year or so. I may be wrong though as I haven't looked into the convertible laptop category since reading that news. Let me know what you find or already know.
