I finally got ME working. The correct unlock values are 1F1F.
I compared to: https://watchmysys.com/blog/wp-content/u…-Descriptor.pdf
Bios has to be set to that, ME/GB region doesn’t matter. Now its asking for a password for ME even though I never set one.
(it was admin)
So I made some bios mods.
*Added Dell Slic for W7
*Removed Computrace Module
Updated the Intel Oprom to Intel-RST_RAID-ROM_v10.1.0.1008 (highest that would boot)
Changed dell for sun logo

Just missing a way to edit the bios menus. There are some secret thing still.
Hidden temperature/fan values
– Press FN + Shift button
– While pressing those buttons press 1, 5, 3, 2, 4
– Release FN and Shift
– Press FN + R
So ME turning on was relatively easy but turning it back off was harder. AMT/ME consumes a little bit of system ram just like a graphics card (~16MB) and more importantly it holds up the boot process if you blank it.
What I did was make 2 flash descriptors. One like when ME was disabled and one from ME enabled. To get rid of ME you blank the region with the "dead" factory image and then flash the descriptor. Pull the bios battery and MEbx is gone, boot no longer waits. To put it back you do the reverse except this time no need to reset the CMOS.
Sure, I can 00 block it in the flash descriptor but that requires HW programming to bring it back.

I have a old m4400 motherboard floating around I could get running if you wanted any extra help testing things. I have a fairly complete lab.
Its up and running. I’ve no idea what else I could do with it. I got AMT working and turned AMT back off. Unfortunately there was no way to do it without removing the chip at least once.
