Intel (CS) Management Engine: Drivers, Firmware and Tools for (CS)ME 16+

The 16.1.30 from Asus for CON H is very new, you should wait because usually not all platforms are getting the same update, it just came out a week ago…
Also a lot of users keep tracking the FW releases whenever they can or come across.

CSME V16.5.0 con system tool:

Hi!

Looking for CSME 16.0 CON LP A v16.0.15.1735 to clear ME :slight_smile:

@hunmike000

EDIT: “Any idea how to solve this?” No sry, not my field…

Thanks @MeatWar , but when i rename and replace the decomposed ME Sub Partition.bin with the file from the repo for which you provided the link (intel_me_16.0.15.1735-lp(station-drivers.com)/Non_Capsule\ME_16.0_Cons.bin) I get the following error during building via Intel (R) Modular Flash Image Tool. Version: 16.0.15.1735:
“Exception: Data bucket: ‘OEM_KM’. Error: ‘The public key in the OEM Key Manifest provided does not match the hash provided in CsePlugin:UEP:OemPublicKeyHash’.
Source: ‘CsePlugin:OEM_KM’”

Any idea how to solve this?

In my case, all I had to do was open this intel ME firmware with MFIT.exe (version 16.0 to be in compliance) and remove the OEM-KM and ISH parts as believe as well (no choice if I removed OEM), and then save and flash this modified firmware (= the same one but without OEM and ISH).

Because ME_16.0_Cons.bin is not ME Sub Partition itself, it’s a prestitched FWUpdate for some Lenovo platform. You have to decompose it first using MFIT, to get unconfigured ME Sub Partition.bin, as you can see on screenshot.

Then you can try to use it for cleaning your initialized bios dump, although it is not recommended to use Extracted type.

@Anton35 Sir you are well deserving my thanks! Spot on with your description. I had no idea that I would need to further decompose the station-drivers provided ME. Thank you very much for your help, i can now see with ME Analyser that “File System State │ Configured” which i assume the correct one.

hello, how to slow this error?

hello everyone; i tried to clear a BIOS 64MB of DELL XPS 15 9520 La-l402p, but i got some errors! i don’t know what have to do…
‘’‘ERROR : Decompose ‘C:/Users/Line_teck/Desktop/XPS 15 9520 La-l402p r1.0 Gagarin .BIN’ image failed.

when trying to decompress 16.1 image

Heya,

I have came across the following error while I tried to clean the ME:

I receoved a FW image for my laptop for which the bios chip was blown up. I attempted to clean the ME region using MFIT Intel tool of the right version because MEA tool was showing “Initialized” instead of “Configured”. I can decompose the image but unfortunately I am getting the following errors when I try to assemble the image.bin even when I am not touching the ME part (simple decompose and then immediately build):

Start decompose ‘D:/bios/latest badcap/FX517ZM.bin’ image.
MFIT version used to build the image: 16.0.15.1662
WARNING : Skipping ROMB. Missing…

Decompose ‘D:/bios/latest/FX517ZM.bin’ image completed successfully

Would anybody happen to know how to deal with this? Can I try to flash the image even though the bios is “Initialized”?

Many thanks!
