So I just got new soic clip making sure I have my wires correct but a few different sites say different pins on the pi
That’s my chip but flashrom site says
| 25 | GND |
|---|---|
| 24 | /CS |
| 23 | SCK |
| 21 | DO |
| 19 | DI |
| 17 | VCC 3.3V (+ /HOLD, /WP) |
So 3 wires to pin 17 on pi which is 3.3v

EDIT: Not an easy task for inexperienced users… the issue is the firm contact and a good clip will help.
Yer same pin out so I’m just trying to get the 3 wires to pi header 17 on pi.
Pins on the soic clips so close together
Now flashing is it advisable to flash twice
flashed successfully and verified turn pc on not changes what am i missing i did clean me but still not working
newdump.rar (6.5 MB)
What did you want to achieve and what’s not working?
hi so my intel me has stopped working so i followed the clean me guide and connected the pi and it flashed loaded pc back up to no change am i doing something wrong?
just to confirm
pc is unplugged when i have the flash programmer connected and once it says verified i power down pi before disconnecting but it doesn’t seam to flash the whole chip
Your image does look rather OK, but you didn’t follow the guide to the point since Intel AntiTheft is still enabled. But that doesn’t cause thiese symptoms.
Regarding flashing: If not sure just read the chip in a separate process and save the spi- content with a different name. Compare it to the original file intended to flash, they should be a 100% identical (if the system wasn’t started in between)
The jumper has to be removed again.
Btw- why a new separate thread?
which jumper do you mean and the pc is off when i flash it
Didn’t you bridge the service mode pins?
yes but that didnt work a second time for some reason
so my file for flashing checked the vcc volage im getting 3.1v but my chip can go 2.7v to 3.6
ME cleaner removes afaik as much as possible of the ME, that’s completely different to what is described here:

Dude as soon as I read that I knew I messed up but just home now and I’ll try again.
That will teach me to try bios modding while smoking blame Canada haha
this was the back up of my bios from the pi after verification it doesnt look right to me
pc booted back up but no change

It’s not meaningful to write in two parallel threads and to post dumps in both threads, that does make it impossible to follow what you did and what the original state was.
see:
https://winraid.level1techs.com/t/dell-service-mode/91344
https://winraid.level1techs.com/t/dell-bios-modding/91130
Seems in addition that you have changed ME configuration several times. It’s not possible to follow what you did and what the original state was.
In case of problems with ME: Use your first ever dump, follow that guide to the letter:
https://winraid.level1techs.com/t/guide-clean-dumped-intel-engine-cs-me-cs-txe-regions-with-data-initialization/
So went back to the first ever dump and got the me onto new bios and it worked me info was showing and meb showed up in boot select.
Turned it on today and it’s back to locked.
Yer my bad I tried to close it but not sure how.
thanks for the help man im not at the stage where i get past post and into boot select then dell loading screen crashes, automatic fix doesnt work either
so load the efi shell
run me info the as above i did see the gbr config lock is enabled still would that stop a complete write and stop boot
also oem id and system id are different would that matter
