It's normal. Your motherboard is not using Intel's Gigabit LAN so the Gbe region does not exist.

Hey Jacksoft,

Thanks for the region file. Unfortunately it's of no use. Up until 5-series systems (ME6), there was no way to create update images from installed firmware. The special update files (contain only code & localisations) were provided by Intel and only after ME7 did Intel add a -save command at FWUpdate which could create such files from a given system.

The only way to update 5-series firmware (ME6) is to take a dumped region, change settings with FITC according to specific system, replace at the BIOS image the old ME with the new edited one via a HEX editor, make sure the flash descriptor is unlocked and then flash the new BIOS image. However, for most systems that is not possible since the flash descriptor cannot be easily unlocked.

In your case though, you have an SPI programmer so you will effectively bypass any software locks like the flash descriptor. Thus, you can take a newer extracted ME region, change settings according to your own ME using FITC, make a new BIOS image and flash it with the Programmer.

The "latest" 1.5MB extracted region I have found is v6.1.20.1059. If you proceed (and since you have a programmer, I say why not?) keep in mind that you must change OEM/ICC settings with FITC first and that the new region is the same size as the extracted one as shown at UEFITool. The extracted image I have is around 1.5MB (17D000 hex size) whereas your extracted region sits at around 1.99MB (1FF000 hex size). I took my extracted region & added some FF padding so that the new firmware I'm giving you has the same size around 1.99MB (1FF000 hex size). Now, the only thing that you need to do is change OEM/ICC settings with FITC (after the new file is ready check size again, FITC will probably alter it), replace it manually or by using UEFITool and then flash.

No, 916KB is very small. The size must be the same. You need to follow a certain guide on how to properly do that procedure. Follow this post (part of a bigger guide, it speaks of newer ME8 firmware but it should be fairly similar - don't follow it completely but change settings according to your own ME):

Also, it's preferable to do the replacement manually using a HEX editor otherwise make sure that the size is the same when replacing with UEFITool. I think it has a warning if you try to replace an old section with a new one of different size but just to cover all bases I decided to mention it.

That's strange, because in the folder created by the tool there's only a file "ME Region.bin" that is 916KB for both files (my ME and the ME you attached). :o
Maybe is ok for Intel ME 6 for Mobile?

I'll do more tests and let you know :)

PS: I've replaced the 916KB by an Hex Editor.

EDIT: How can I save the ROM image as 1.5MB file? I need to "cut" from the 4MB saved file?

There are two notes on me8. It may also help.
