As you can see, FW Status Register3: 0x00000000 and firmware version is 11.0.0.1168 H. ME Analyzer shows instead 11.0.0.1180, Region, but Extracted, Consumer H and NOPDM.

Which version of the ME firmware can I flash? This version: 11.0.10.1002_CON_H_D0_NOPDM_PRD_RGN ?

@art_ii

Thank you for your registering to post your feedback art_ii.

Every firmware before a threshold (11.0.0.1202 currently, could be wrong) is automatically listed as NOPDM so both 1168 and 1180 fall under that category.

It’s the first time I’m seeing a “FW Status Register3” of “0x00000000”. Maybe because of the ancient firmware you current have. Have you applied the latest BIOS update from MSI first? Maybe it will get updated to 1180 and if yes, can you show me another MEInfo -verbose log?

For the latest version and in order to be on the safe side, you should flash 11.0.11.1005_CON_H_D0_NOPDM_PRD_RGN until we know more about PDM. After flashing please show me another MEInfo -verbose output.

Hi, Is this a PDM or NON-PDM version ?

It’s a board with and XMG U706 (Z170)

Hello @Fetakungen

Thank you for registering to show your MEInfo report. As I said at the previous post of mine, I have never seen such a “FW Status Register3” before. Can you show your entire MEInfo -verbose log and not just the beginning?

EDIT:

Ah, you edited with MEA -info which shows current FW version of 11.0.0.1168 like the previous guy above with an MSI Z170 system. He had 0x000000 as well. Maybe these older firmware were showing 000 instead of 200 or 020 like I expect. Either way, back then there was no PDM firmware so it’s definitely NOPDM.

The latest firmware that your OEM includes (11.0.1.1001) reports as Unkown (UKPDM) at MEA currently as I’m waiting for a report in the next days from a user who can test these and tell me if it’s PDM or NOPDM. Have you updated to that latest BIOS? If not, can you update and if the ME gets updated to 11.0.1.1001, can you show me another MEInfo -verbose report to see if it’s NOPDM or PDM? If the BIOS is updated but the ME stayed at 11.0.0.1168 then move on to the next paragraph.

Either way, we know that 11.0.11.1005 CON-H is NOPDM so you can update to that if you like. The latest CON-H of 11.0.12.1008 is PDM so there is that coin toss risk as mentioned at the first post’s warning when going from NOPDM to PDM. If you can restore your full SPI image then give it a try, otherwise stick with 11.0.11.1005 (last NOPDM we have) for now.

@plutomaniac : I can’t find this firmware 11.0.11.1005_CON_H_D0_NOPDM_PRD_RGN anywhere. It was in the package Intel ME 11.0 Firmware Repository Pack r27. Now there is only the r28 package. Could you post it? Thank you

plutomaniac · June 23, 2016, 6:11pm

@art_ii

It’s the same as 11.0.11.1005_CON_H_D0_UKPDM_PRD_RGN which can be found at package r28. I renamed it from UKPDM to NOPDM after releasing r28 so the new name will be visible at the next r29 Sunday release.

art_ii · June 23, 2016, 6:48pm

So I’ve flashed this firmware at the moment. The flash process was interrupted at 99% with a message ‘Error 8724: Platform did not respond to update request’. What should I do next? Update once more with the parameter -allowsv?

plutomaniac · June 23, 2016, 6:59pm

I don’t understand why you saw that error with the 11.0.11.1005 firmware. Anyway, based on a similar previous report (99% error, but he tried 11.0.12.1008 PDM) it will force you to reboot so you cannot redo the same with -allowsv without one. Still try without a reboot. If it forces you to perform one then do it and it should post/work ok. Afterwards, reflash with -allowsv. Once it completes and you reboot, show a MEInfo -verbose to verify.

art_ii · June 23, 2016, 7:37pm

I’ve reflashed with -allowsv, the reflashing process stopped at 74%. Before this I’ve checked ME version and it is show the good one: 11.0.11.1005.
Now I have an errror 8193:
'Fail to load MEI device driver (PCI access for Windows). Above error is often caused by one of below reasons:
Administrator privilege needed for running the tool
ME is in an error state causing MEI driver fail
MEI driver is not installed.'

I run the tool from Administrator account and have already MEI driver installed.
What should i do next?

plutomaniac · June 23, 2016, 7:46pm

Did you reboot first? If you didn’t then it probably requires a reboot and that’s why the second error was shown. Also, make sure that you don’t have any monitoring or BIOS overclocking programs running in the background.

art_ii · June 23, 2016, 7:55pm

After reboot I’ve re-flashed firmware and it stopped at 74%. Next after second reboot this error was displayed. I’ve switched off one monitoring program. How can I repair this firmware?

Edit:
I’ve checked firmware with MEInfoWin64, here are results.

Run FWUpdate -save me.bin command and attach me the resulting me.bin file. I am guessing it has partially updated or similar. After you do that, I suggest you try FWUpdate again with 11.0.11.1005 -allowsv but at a DOS or EFI environment, whatever you prefer. Not Windows, maybe something is interfering. It had no reason to fail with such firmware in the first place (as 1005 is NOPDM, also verified by the fact that your current "FW Status Register3" is 200) and it makes even less sense that it keeps erroring out. In theory, such a problem can be solved with FWUpdate.

I’ve run command given by you and received this:

Intel (R) Firmware Update Utility Version: 11.0.0.1205
Copyright (C) 2007 - 2016, Intel Corporation. All rights reserved.

Error 8193: Fail to load MEI device driver (PCI access for Windows)
Above error is often caused by one of below reasons:
Administrator privilege needed for running the tool
ME is in an error state causing MEI driver fail
MEI driver is not installed

Error 8828: Restore point operation failed.

plutomaniac · June 23, 2016, 8:55pm

Basically same error. My best guess it that something is interfering. Under DOS/EFI no MEI driver is needed and nothing can interfere. So, create bootable DOS/EFI usb drive with the required tools such as FWUpdate, MEInfo and MEManuf and firmware to flash. If I’m right, it should work just fine under such environments.

art_ii · June 23, 2016, 9:02pm

I’ve the same problem as in this post: ME is in recovery state

plutomaniac · June 23, 2016, 9:05pm

Did you try what I mentioned at my previous post? If that doesn’t work things might become more complicated or difficult to solve like the thread you linked. So hopefully I’m right about the interference and it will work.

Edit2:
I’ve managed to dump the BIOS region from the SPI chip with ‘fptw64 -bios -d bios.bin’ command. Here is the result file link

plutomaniac · June 23, 2016, 10:16pm

Run Flash Programming Tool under DOS with command fpt -greset and after reset, boot at DOS again and retry MEInfo and MEManuf. Then retry FWUpdate.

art_ii · June 23, 2016, 10:38pm

Results are the same under DOS. Command fpt -greset didn’t work. The firmware are still in the recovery mode. In the previous post I gave a link to the BIOS region dump.

Thank you for the nice guide.

At last updated 7.1.60.1193 to 7.1.80.1214 (each 1,5 MB) on Intel Desktop Board DX79TO. I literally waited YEARS for that. Next step will be rebuilding BIOS 0650 with FITC and Intel ME 8.x. Any ideas how to do this or has anybody yet done this?
Intel ME 8.x on X79 ASUS boards is delivered by BIOS update. Intel told their users there will be no 8.x for DX79xx boards.
