@plutomaniac Offtopic here but I used your ME region only bin file to add AMT to my 7020. Thanks for that! Worked like a charm. It was a good learning moment too. I've since updated the ME region again because yours seemed to be in German or maybe that region was set elsewhere. It's English now

I'm at the final steps but when trying to flash the new outimage.bin I get:
Error 280: Failed to disable write protection for the BIOS space!

Any way to fix this?

I've got an error at the end.
Bios is still showing IME FW as 0.0.0.0 but Device Manage shows Intel Management Engine Interface with the yellow warning (triangle with exclamation mark)

Edit: -greset restarted my system. Is that supposed to happen?

Edit #2: Device status for IME in Device Manager shows:
This device cannot start. (Code 10)
STATUS_DEVICE_POWER_FAILURE

Attached.

You are right.
Problem was I ran the -greset before connecting the Jumper.

It works now.

MEInfo output attached.

Let me know if everything's OK in there.

Thanks you so much for helping me.
You've saved me a lot of trouble.

Thank you so much for all of your help and patience!

One more question now:
Resetting the Bios or changing Bios settings like Boot Order will break my system again?

Hello

I have found this topic and the info here seems to be very helpful to resolve the same issue I have with my SONY VAIO machine - svf15213cbw

It is based on HM76 chipset, i5-3337U CPU.

Symptoms are the same - 29 min and power off.


ME info v7 says:
Error 9455: Fail to read FW Status Register value 0x0

fptw64.exe -i

Error 201: [FPTw64.exe] cannot be run on the current platform.
Please contact your vendor.


Any idea on how to cure this guy?

ME7/8 FW tools only works (CMD Admin) in OS environment if the ME device is present in Device Manager and loaded driver.
