Intel ME 11.7 Consumer PCH-H Firmware v11.7.4.3314 For 100/200/300-series SKL/KBL/CFL-S and SKL/KBL/CFL-H systems which come with ME firmware v11.7
Intel ME 11.0 Corporate PCH-H Firmware v11.0.28.3002
Intel ME System Tools v11.7 r1
ME Analyzer v1.16.7 or later can now detect ME 11.x Power Down Mitigation (PDM) firmware status.
Updated the 100/200/300-series warning with KBL-R and CFL. Things are becoming confusing with Intel’s “refreshes” so let me know if you think something is wrong.
@ bkpizza:
Run Flash Programming Tool with the command “fptw -d spi.bin”. Does it complete successfully? Also, have you tried a “fptw -greset”?
@ vickyrcd:
You are using the right firmware. Read about Version Control Number (VCN) at the first post to understand why a downgrade is not possible.
@ vstar:
MEInfo, MEManuf and FPT are command line tools so you need to open a command prompt first to use them. That aside, have you tried to test if running Flash Programming Tool with command “fptw -greset” fixes the problem? Does “fptw -d spi.bin” command complete successfully or do you see an error? If you have a hardware programmer such as CH341A, that would definitely solve the problem.
@ KotTHECat:
FTK is not supported/updated anymore, I don’t recommend its usage. It must use FWUpdate though for the process you mentioned so it has nothing to do with FIT setting configurations and RGN/EXTR.
@echo off if exist me.bin goto UPD echo File me.bin not found. goto EXIT :UPD echo Updating ME firmware from me.bin fwupdlcl -f me.bin :EXIT echo Thank you for using FTK. Have a nice day.
so yes, it uses FWUpdate. If i get it right, and update the ME firmware my way, i do not need to worry whether its RGN or EXTR? I previously flashed 11.6.25.1229 (which exact name is 11.6.25.1229_CON_H_D0_PRD_EXTR.bin), and now i have got 11.7.0.3290 (11.7.0.3290_CON_H_D0_PRD_RGN.bin), and i could not notice any difference/problems.
Thank you for the reply. I have tried FPT with command "fptw -greset", didn’t fix the problem. (FPT->fptw -greset->PC reboots itself->ME still 0.0.0.0 in BIOS)
The "fptw -d spi.bin" command complete successfully and I get a spi.bin file. Intel (R) Flash Programming Tool. Version: 11.6.29.3287 Copyright (c) 2007 - 2017, Intel Corporation. All rights reserved.

I just purchased a CH341A programmer on Amazon, and learning how to reprogram the chip from CodeRush 's guide. Do I need another PC to do the chip progrmming process, since the target PC’s BIOS chip needs to be removed/plug into CH341A for reprogram?
The answers can be found at the first post. Read the RGN/EXTR and UPD explanations at section B and FWupdate at section C1.
@ vstar:
You can do it at the same pc if you like (let it boot, remove chip and place back before next reboot) but it’s preferable to use another one if you have. You need to remove the SPI chip and program it with the programmer by using the latest ASUS BIOS from their website after removing the AMI Capsule. Use UEFITool to easily remove the latter, just save the “Intel Image” as a new file.
Thank you plutomaniac. I have owned different ASUS ROG boards for the past 6 years, never had any problem. This ASUS ROG Z170 HeroAlpha gave me ME 0.0.0.0 problems twice, even a RMA replacement showed the problem again. So this time I’m gona try reprogram the chip by myself. I’m still learning to program the original MAC ADDRESS, UUID and MB/SN to new BIOS by using FD44Editor.
Thanks again! =D I will report back if I fixed the ME 0.0.0.0 issue by reprogram the BIOS chip successfully.
I have read the whole first post twice, but as my English is poor and its difficult for me to understand all the nice stuff you have written, i still dont understand why "Never flash RGN without first configuring, but you can flash it via FWUpdate without first configuring". What am i missing?
@vstar You can also buy a SPI chip for a few bucks on >>ebay<< and do with it whatever you want
FWUpdate is a special tool which sends the update firmware to the ME itself to be validated and then flashed while keeping settings intact. Anything else (generic SPI flashers such as FPT, AFU & Flashrom, hardware programmers etc) requires a ME region which has been configured first by FIT.
Hello plutomaniac, I have fixed the ME 0.0.0.0 problem with CH341A programmer with original mac address, UUID and S/N. I used the programmer to program BIOS v3401 into the chip, then use ASUS EZ FLASH to update to v3501(the latest) just to make sure the normal BIOS update still works, and prefer to use ASUS stock BIOS instead the modified programmer version.
hi, Before this 5 years the processor worked at a frequency of 4.2 GHz, and memory at 1866 MHz). The computer did not go into hibernation mode, a black monitor, the fan of the systemic noise, there is no reaction to the buttons of the system. block and keyboard, when pulling out of the power grid and restarting again the same thing, there is no way to go into the BIOS. Dropped the jumper SMOS. I went to the BIOS, and there: Instead of 16 GB of RAM shows 8 GB (4 slots of 4 GB worth) supposedly do not work 1 slot and 3 slots of four slots. He pulled out 2 slots and 4 slots, left only 1 and 3 slots. Now it began to show that 1 slot and 3 memory slots are available, but 2 and 4 slots were removed. I put two bars in place, again shows that there are no dice in 1 and 3 slot and only 2 and 4 are active. Total 8 GB of RAM. In the task manager, too, 8 GB. AIDA sees 4 slats of 4 GB, but says it’s a syst. Memory only 8GB. I dropped the SMOS, pulled out the battery, rebuilt BIOS with the same version. Does not help. In BIOS, it is not possible to overclock the CPU and RAM frequencies, keeping their frequencies by default. Overclocking at the RAM: earlier the choice of frequencies 1333, 1600, 1866, 2133 MHz was shown, now these values are not present, there are only 1066,1333 and auto. z68 pro3 Asrock. 2500K processor Windows 7 64 maximum 4 slats of 4GB RAM Corsair
I do not know what to do, can update ME through a USB flash drive. I want to update ME, I chose the firmware and installer 8 series 1,5 Mb (FWupdlcl.exe for bios ) as shown in the picture below. I created a flash drive with the ms-dos environment, downloaded the installer and firmware there, wrote the installer’s name and put the enter and shows me the error, tell me please what I’m doing wrong.
Intel ME 11.20 Corporate PCH-H Firmware v11.20.0.1249 For C620-series SKL-SP systems which come with ME firmware v11.20
@ leonid:
You are using the correct tools for your system. To use FWUpdate you need to use “FWUpdLcl -f fw_name.bin” parameter. However, you may not be able to update the ME if it is currently corrupt. To verify that, please create proper “MEInfo -verbose” and “MEManuf -verbose” reports by saving them into a text file (example: MEInfoWin64 -verbose > meinfo.txt). Then compress the two .txt files into zip/rar and attach them here. Run Flash Programming Tool with command “fptw64 -greset” and check if the problem persists after the reboot. Make sure you have the latest ASRock BIOS flashed via the in-BIOS menu (ASRock InstantFlash).
i got an intel core i7 5820k, Coulnd some1 link me the Intel Management Engine drivers + Chipsatz + AHCi pls, becuz i want to reinstall my os ( win 10x64 bit) maybe other drivers for my system, thx
The Intel ME drivers are found at page 1 of this thread. The Recommended AHCI/RAID and NVMe Drivers are found here: Recommended AHCI RAID and NVMe Drivers.
You should also go to the maker of your motherboards web site for drivers and BIOS updates.
@myDNA i dont know which 1 is for me (Intel core i7 5820k,)thats why i asked ^^ ntel 5-, 6- or 7-Series Chipse ( which series is my intel core) i dont know about that, cuz i need my other drivers too like MEI, Chipset
Choose your version of Windows, e.g., Windows 10 X64 so that the correct drivers are listed, and then see what versions the drivers are. That way you have a good idea of which version drivers to download from here at win-raid.
However, Fernando has also modded many of these driver’s inf files so that you can install higher numbered versions of the drivers you are after.
Maybe someone with more experience with your motherboard can help you better than me, for I have no experience with the X99 chipset.
I have this Dell Inspiron 15 5000 series notebook with an Intel i5-6200U and 100 series chipset. I would like to update the ME firmware but before I do I would like to find out what you folks think is the correct version [currently is v11.0.0.1194 LP please see spoiler for MEInfo output].
I can usually figure this out for myself, however I do not want to make a mistake because there are 2 different types of the firmware. I would like to clarify if I need the “Intel ME 11.0 Consumer PCH-LP Firmware v11.0.26.3000”, or the “Intel ME 11.0 Slim PCH-LP Firmware v11.0.12.1010” ? Please let me know if you need more info.
TIA for any feedback in this matter.
