Zitat von 100PIER im Beitrag #751
I am a little confused about what MEI8 (1.5MB) Driver version to use on my Z77 board. (x64 W7)
At the start of the topic you refer to V 10.0.30.1054 (23 sept 2014), however on station drivers we find V 10.0.31.1000.

You are mixing the version of the Intel MEI drivers and their related Intel MEI software.
The latest Intel MEI drivers are the v10.0.30.1054 ones. Even the latest Intel MEI Drivers & Software Set v10.0.31.1000 contains them (only the Intel MEI Software has been updated).

EDIT: After having submitted this post I have realized, that plutomaniac had already answered your question. I am sorry about that.

My current System:
MB: ASRock X570 Pro4, CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600, System Drive: 500 GB Samsung 980 Pro, Graphics: Sapphire Radeon RX570, OS: Win10 x64 Pro

It is safe to proceed. The -save command creates an Update file (contains only code & localizations) whereas we provide a full ME region here. Any ME with it's tools after v8 can work with both Update & Region ME images.

Can it be incompatible with apple mainboard or OS X? I'm afraid that some OS X features will stop working after I flash it...

An Intel system is an Intel system no matter if the operating system is Windows, Mac OS X, Linux etc.

ME Firmware is most of the times system specific because it controls certain platform settings, system clocks, fan control etc. The ME firmware consists of the Code & Data sections (simplified). The Code is the actual firmware (it's logic) and the Data is where all the system specific settings are kept. There are two ME images, Update and (Full) Region. Update "installs" only newer Code and does not deal with Data. Region is the whole ME extracted from BIOS which includes both Code & Data.

Since ME8 you can update the Code section with both Update & Region images. That's because, when you use the FWUpdate tool it only updates the Code and not the Data and thus you can update your ME firmware to a newer version while keeping everything platform/system specific. Even Intel itself it giving ME Regions instead of Update (-save command) images after ME8.

Bottom-line: It's safe, you shouldn't harm your computer. Let me know how it goes!

Thank you Div for the link and jjxaker from station-drivers who posted it at their forum.

NEW! Intel ME9.1 Firmware 1.5MB from v9.1.20.1035 --> v9.1.25.1005

WARNING: Only for 9-series systems & X99, NOT for 8-series systems!

Well, that makes it official. We have a 1.5MB firmware that's newer than the 5MB one. That's a first... I'm sure Lenovo will fix that glitch soon enough! This link will soon change to from 12 to 13 and the 5MB should be available.

Edit: Oups, v10 is newer as well. Oh whatever...

It's not the date that Lenovo says at their changelog/instructions. 11/11 would be the date they decided to post it. The real date can be found by right-clicking the region image provided by Intel. Of course that won't work if the image is extracted from a BIOS since it will take as creation time the time of extraction.

Oh what? The 5MB version? Yes, as with every new ME driver/firmware/tool update, when it's available it will be posted here.

Oh yes, I forgot that for a moment. You can open the firmware with a hex editor and find the production date easily from there:

@plutomaniac and @Fernando,
Many thanks for the 2 replies.
Confusing was coming from Intel labelling, they should set in place a better coherent naming methodology..

I have installed the right V 10.0.30.1054 WHQL 64bits version with the 'have disk' method and all is working fine.
