Used INTEL-SA-00075 Discovery Tool to check ME firmware and I’m just curious why this laptop has 6.0.30.1203 if latest (based on this site) is 6.0.30.1199. And question is: can I upgrade to version 6.2.50.1062 ? How to recognize if I have
this
Intel ME 6 1.5MB Firmware v6.2.50.1062
For 5-series (Ibex Peak) systems which come with ME firmware v6
or this
Intel ME 6 Ignition Firmware v6.0.30.1199

Your system is not vulnerable to INTEL-SA-00075/CVE-2017-5689 because it is a 1.5MB (Consumer) system. You can update to Intel ME 6 1.5MB Firmware v6.2.50.1062 if you like via FWUpdate tool.

PDR Region does not exist.
Error 25: The host CPU does not have write access to the target flash area. To enable write access for this operation you must modify the descriptor settings to give host access to this region.
Any idea how to do it ?
Ok solved.
Used meset.exe and flashed corerctly.
Thanks
You used the wrong tool, you should use the FWUpdate fwupdlcl instead.
AFAIK the MESET.exe is intended to be used on CLEVO laptops only, I have never known that it works on other brands.
