plutomaniac - Wow, really? EVERY Time I edit ANY BIOS w/ V12 I have similar issues at step 9, always a hassle no matter what, often due to which file to swap/replace.
I have not noticed until this one if all v12 I edited in past said "initialized" afterwards or not, so that problem may only be specific here. But all, I have to do 2-3 times before I figure out how/which file to replace during the swap/UPD and it's often not the one this step says to replace in the guide.
So, from what I see every time with V12, some kind of clarifications or updates need added there. It would also be great, if you could add how to merge ME+PMC, when time permits, whichever is easiest method (ME FW directly + PMC or BIOS as a whole + PMC etc)

So, following your exact instructions, which I did before and this fails, same file today too. And replacing CSE image with ME FW instead works, but I assume this is wrong, and what causes the "initialized" outimage
Anyway, here is error following instructions above/guide step 9 same/same. Except I am using 12.0.40.1433_COR_H_BA_PRD_RGN, because it was only RGN in package I had at the time (r15 repo, will download latest now)
Maybe it's due to that? Or, due to I have nor merged any updated PMC (mainly due to this is also a hassle, I've figure out once, but only by accident) I'm using r20 tools package, I see there is new one, so maybe this is the problem?


I'm at the point now with V12, soon I will be treating it like X79 ME FW, and refuse to do this for users, it's too much hassle, always a problem with this or that, huge pain in my rear

* Edit - Disregard! And my apologies for not updating stuff first! It must have been something either with the R20 package version?
Or do I need to delete those cse_image_FWU images each time after I run program (for other BIOS, to keep FITc folder clean)? Maybe those from some previous BIOS being in there causing issue?
I only thought of this because I see they were not in tools package originally, but appear after using FITc, so maybe old ones in there from previous other BIOS edit cause all the problems I had with V12? I've always left them I think, assuming they were meant to be there.
If this doesn't matter, then some bug with v20 FITc 12.0.40.1434 I guess?

@robertd - Please wait if you see this post now, I will retry with version plutomaniac mentioned once I download it, but I assume same/same will happen because it always does for me with V12 ME

Edit @robertd - here you go, updated clean ME and updated PMC (not "initialized" either, but "Configured" as it should be)

plutomaniac Thanks, I usually always delete all old folders, ini and log files, but I must have thought those cse_image_FWU images were part of the required files to be left in place, so I had been leaving those and I guess that's maybe what caused all the issues.
Unless issue with older version in r20 package which I had been using for a little while. Anyway, thanks for checking it out for me!
