I have a Dell 7080 MFF and want to enable vPro.
I use (CSME System Tools v14.0.20+ r17) fptw64 -d -bios and got the bios file of this machine.

FPTW64.exe -d -bios 7080.bin

FPTW64.exe -me -d me.bin

https:// mega.nz/file/qPwV3C7K#SpiWEPyaWl_KaM5lDuzNsfthKQX3kraMoMOo3kmrmR0

========================================================
Intel(R) ME code versions:
BIOS Version 1.5.1
MEBx Version 14.0.0.0001
GbE Version 0.4
Vendor ID 8086
MEI Driver Version 2108.100.0.1053
FW Version 14.1.53.1649 H Corporate
LMS Version 2109.0.52.0
Wireless Hardware Version 2.1.77
Wireless Driver Version 22.40.0.7

====================================================
I used Flash Image Tool fit to load the bios file and there was an error
Do you have any feasible suggestions?
My processor i7-10700t supports vPro. I just need to enable vPro?

Thanks in advance!

only thing i can find vpro related is

0x47CE9 One Of: Thunderbolt vPro Dock Connection, VarStoreInfo (VarOffset/VarName): 0x4D4, VarStore: 0x1, QuestionId: 0x516, Size: 1, Min: 0x0, Max 0x2, Step: 0x0 {05 91 C4 17 C5 17 16 05 01 00 D4 04 10 10 00 02 00}

0x47D08 One Of Option: Forced Enable, Value (8 bit): 0x2 {09 07 C7 17 00 00 02}

vPro is enabled in ME. Follow the guide [Guide] Clean Dumped Intel Engine (CS)ME/(CS)TXE Regions with Data Initialization to get an understanding how to work with FIT/ manage ME settings.

The options that need to get enabled in the ME especially for enabling vpro/ shifting from standard manageability to full vpro/KVM are described several times in the forum.

5. From the System Tools folder, go to Flash Image Tool subfolder and run ftoolc.exe. Drag & drop the dumped SPI/BIOS image you want to clean. After it is done loading:

I'm sorry, I don't know how to work on a ME region only for ME 12 of ME 14, there's a difference to versions <= ME11. So you will have to dump a complete image, either by overcoming the access restrictions or by dumping the complete bios with a programmer.

[EDIT]
Post the output of fptw64 -i

Try to run "fpt-w64 -DESC -d FD.bin", post the result (but it's possibly that part that you're not allowed to read)

thank you for your help @lfb6

Nice! Please post FD.bin or a link to it!

thank you

You might try the attached file, its a combination of Flash descriptor and ME region as provided and opens in FIT. All other regions are empty => FFed, FIT will treat this file as a complete bios but from the output file only the ME region will be usable!

So procedure would be:

- Clean the ME according to [Guide] Clean Dumped Intel Engine (CS)ME/(CS)TXE Regions with Data Initialization

- Open the created cleaned dummy- bios image with clean ME again in FIT

- Make the changes in ME for enabling AMT (Search the forum, if I remeber right there were 2 or 3 more hidden settings for later ME versions, FIT Tool (CSME) rebuild is the latest I found for ME 11)

- Build a new dummy bios with enabled ME

- Extract the ME region from this second dummy- image

- Flash the ME region (Only the ME region- and check size!) back.

The guide for CSME 11-15 is based on ME 11 examples, I'm not completely sure about the platform integrity section, according to the guide it's only valid for CSTXE 3-4, but the OEM key is populated in your ME, too?!


As written: This file is just a generated dummy with all regions empty except FD and ME so that FIT will open it. Don't use it for anything else than working with FIT and don't flash it to your system!

There's a quite high chance of bricking your machine! I'd order a programmer (and 1.8V adapter) and try everything to get a valid backup for trying to write anything to the chips!(!!)

Thank you for your help and look forward to follow-up progress，I will also order a programmer

I backed up the 7080mff bios through the programmer (ch341A)

https://mega.nz/file/HWZGhD6Y#SB_nq14w4x...yWajnVXstnB_hWI

I ran into some problems when setting up the SMIP signature, and I don’t know how to proceed.

Well, the guide says: "7. If you are working on a CSTXE 3 - 4 SPI/BIOS image, go to "Platform Protection > Platform Integrity" section."

If I understand it right the reason that you are advised to hop over this paragraph is the separation of regions for 'normal' MEs/CSMEs while TXE3 and TXE4 brake this separation. Since this is a protection of the bios region no change of the key is needed as long as the bios region doesn't get changed. Since for TXE3/4 ME and bios region are twined(?) into each other, every change in ME will change the hash of the bios, requesting to do the steps outlined in paragraph 7 of the guide.

If unsure about this explanation you might in addition address Plutomaniac, unsure if he follows all the ME threads...

AMT has been successfully unlocked, thank you very much for your help.

Good to hear- thanks for the feedback! (Interesting setup!)
