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

ok, going back to the drawing board. Just flashed thew original firmware and all systems look normal. going to go through the process and capture images between the stages to see where it may be going wrong.

Do you work on a complete image or just the engine? I’d recommend to work on the complete image!

thanks! i am working on the full image and cleaning out all the contents of the FIT folder between runs to make sure there are no other files that may be causing the issue. working on it now the results. thank you very much for the guidance and help!

success after all. i literally followed the exact same steps as before, nothing different, except any time i started up FIT, i would do File → New to clear out any settings. after following the process and doing a compare with notepad++ (thanks @lfb6 !!!), only the settings i had changed were showing. All good now!

Thanks for the feedback! :+1:

Make a dump of your bios and clean it according to

OR - since Asus delivers a complete firmware image- take the ME region of the Asus firmware update.

Are still here with this issue… You’re indeed a lazy user sir, what is the problem of using the UEFI tool and extract/replace the ME region as lfb6 pointed you?
You want an easier way than this? A bit easier than the cleaning method, also pointed…ages ago by me and now also lfb6…
You have a USB BFB board feature… You can’t miss this for sure.
At least explain to us what the issue is, when you trying this… because we are speechless with a forum user from 2017…

What methods sir, there is only 2 methods, are you joking with us???.. explain what is your issue when applying the extract/replace.
And STOP the damm begging for HELP… we know already what is your problem.

I know that, i know how you bricked your bios for all your last posts.
The damage is done, we know what’s your issue and we SHARED WITH YOU, how to fix it…
NOW do what was told to you, damm it.

EDIT: Understand WHAT???
The UEFI tool??? english???

We dont care about coffeetime or amibcp… the BRICK is DONE, we told you already HOW TO FIX IT, SO DO IT.

I TOLD ALREADY, there is ONLY 2 methods.
Where are you from sir? What’s your native language?
Damm thats a $^&%(^($$%^&

Greek!!!

Get the tools here, NE and Regular version

Open the Asus bios update file 3801 CAP, open with the NE version, select ME Region on the left panel, extract, save it.

Open your dump with the Regular tool, select your ME region, right-click, replace pointing the previous extracted region, save now the file as R6E.CAP, use it in USB BFB feature.

DONE

you give me wrong files but i understand you need the tools with UI like this

Update i replace Me Region on my dump bios reflash on biosflashback again shows ME 0.0.0.0 on bios

@panosxidis
I wanted to ask you, what did you do to break ME?

@Dagal hello i unlock hidden features with AMIBCP and i close Me State on bios and now i cannot renabled again


this is MeInfo

There are bios that allow disabling ME. In most cases the ME has to be enabled by flashing the ME region since this bios setting disables ME permanently. If you have made this option to a default setting you will not be able to enable ME since even a fresh stock ME region will be disabled again at first boot.

Yes is true can i fix it?

First step would be to use a stock bios and see if ME is back. If not it might be hardware.

If that works: Revert the relevant changes and try if ME is back.

i try it not fixed!!!maybe need new bios or newer firmware update because same firmware or older cannot install again
