Hi,

I have a ASRock H97M-Pro4 & I tried to update IME v9.1.2.1010 to v9.1.10.1005 (1.5M)

OS is Windows 8.1.1 Pro 64bit

However, when I tried:

D:\Intel ME System Tools v9.1\FWUpdate\Local-Win64>FWUpdLcl64 -f ME9.1_1.5M_Production.bin

One thing that seems odd to me is that when I ran:

FWUpdLcl64 -save My_IME9.1.2.1010.bin

the output bin file is: 3.88 MB (4,071,424 bytes), which is a lot bigger than 1.5mb but smaller than the 5mb FW D/L.

The ME9.1_1.5M_Production.bin that I D/L'd from here is only: 1.48 MB (1,560,576 bytes)


Any assistance to resolve this issue would be most appreciated.

Cheers

Thanks Plutomaniac. That's what I initially thought but when the saved IME bin file wasn't "5mb" I wasn't sure.

I'll give it a go.

Thanks muchly. v9.1.20.1035 (5MB) successfully installed.
