I see one problem in using the package offered by a manufacturer, specifically the .bat: it usually comes with an -oemid argument. Not sure how important it is, but I would avoid it. The latest 9.1.x from Lenovo also has it.

Thank you NIK1 for the UPD ME9.1 image.

@ Lordkag:

It's ok in this case. When ME Analyzer was released I wrote a small explanation of what OEMID does at it's thread because it can detect and report it.

Basically it's stored at the SPI image and this argument is there because on Lenovo machines you wouldn't be able to update the ME firmware without it.

I thought of that as well today when NIK1 told me that he used the Lenovo package but to be absolutely certain I checked his MEInfo report. The FWUpdate UUID is empty as it should.

Alright, I can't seem to make either MEInfo/MEManuf or FWUpdate work, the prompt command says "is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file" am I missing something?

You are using the commands in the wrong way. You need to download both the firmware image and the v9.0 updater tool called FWUpdate. Copy the firmware at the Local-Win64 folder of FWUpdate if you have an x64 operating system and rename it to me.bin to make your life easier. You then need to open a command prompt at that folder and type FWUpdLcl64 -f me.bin

So I upgraded to the latest version 9.5.45.1922 LP on my acer v7 582pg and I got erratic behavior. I am trying to downgrade but it keeps saying the image provided is not support by the platform. I tried different versions including the one from the manufacturer. I am trying to downgrade to 1.5mb 9.5.35.xxx and 9.5.1.xxx( from acer) but still no luck.

What do you mean erratic behavior? What firmware did you have before? What tools did you download? What version of those said tools? Run MEInfo -verbose and MEManuf -verbose and show two pictures of the results.

You cannot downgrade to anything lower than 9.5.45 via FWUpdate because it has VCN 9 whereas even 9.5.41 had 8. Let's not jump into conclusions though, first provide the previously asked information.

After my computer is turn off over night it freezes on every first attempt to turn it on. The extracting speed of a zip file is extremely slow. The computer freezes every time after turn on from standby - I fixed this when I reflash the bios.

Forgot what version I got before. I did a backup then deleted it accidentally. I think it was 9.5.30.xxx or 9.5.35.xxx, but I could completely be wrong because the one on acer site shows 9.5.1.xxx.

I the version of the tools I used is the one just before the current version on the OP. I did all this around 3-4 weeks ago.

I says pass when I run MEManuf using the latest version.[img][/img]

Yes, reboot.

Then run MEInfoWin64, verify that the latest firmware and driver is show. Verify that it doesn't show any red errors.
Then run MEManufWin64, it should report MEManuf Test Passed

MEInfo shows that the ME is operational and MEManuf did not report anything wrong with it. The problem must lie someplace else. Did you flash a modded BIOS or similar? Most probably a software/operating system issue. It definitely looks like the latter.

I updated my post with more images.

No, I did not update any mod bios. The bios is lock. I am not sure what is going on. Right after I updated to the latest ME firmware my computer freezes in desktop after several restarts I thought it was bricked but it fixed itself.

Maybe the ME needed to be reset. You can do that via FPT with the fptw -greset command. Or shutdown, remove power and battery (in case of laptop) and wait at least 30 seconds before restoring power to manually reset the ME engine.

I just modded my Gigabyte bios with UBU through Qflash and it worked.

is there a problem there?

You reverted back to 9.0.30 instead of 9.0.31 that you just updated to. Your latest BIOS image had 9.0.30 so by flashing it you also downgraded the ME. Obviously your system has an unlocked Flash Descriptor otherwise that wouldn't be possible.

Anyway, after you carefully mod the BIOS and flash it, update the ME again to 9.0.31 and check via MEInfo & MEManuf as said above.

Oh I didn't even notice that I downgraded... so I just need to update the ME again? can I keep my modded bios as it is now?

You can keep your modded BIOS, just update the ME again to the latest. Don't forget to check it's health via MEInfo and MEManuf and you are done.
