Why should it exist?
If you look at the specs of this Motherboard you find under LAN: Realtek® 8111F, 1 x Gigabit LAN Controller(s)
It has NO Intel PHY = No GBE region in MEI!

Welcome at Win-RAID Forum!

@Aqustiq

I tried to flash this Intel ME8 1.5MB FWUpdate v8.1.52.1496 firmware and I received:
C:\Windows\system32>c:/Win64/FWUpdLcl64.exe -f ME.bin

Why haven’t you done it according to my guide (chapter C of the start post)?

"GBE Region does not exist." what firmware I must to use?

You have tried to flash the correct latest Intel ME Firmware.
As mictlan already stated, the GBE Region has nothing to do with the Intel ME Firmware.
By the way: It would hve been easier for you and us, if you would have posted the related screenshots (done by hitting "Alt"+"Print") instead of copying and pasting the complete CMD text.

Hi everbody!
My MB is Asus H87M PLUS (https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/H87MPLUS/specifications/) with BIOS 0807
I updated MEI firmware from 9.0.30.1484 to 9.1.2.1010
This is MEInfo:


20mb image hosting


My question, is this okay?
Thanks!

Welcome at Win-RAID Forum!

@ZyKLon

My question is this okay?

Yes, the Firmware is ok.
If you want to use the latest Intel MEI drivers, I recommend to install the Intel MEI drivers v10.0.25.1006, which you can find within the start post of this thread.

Enjoy the Forum!
Fernando

[ZyKLon]

Thank you very much Fernando.

hi all.

just registered at the forum


I noticed the topic creator asked for aditional links if someone had them

I have some older versions I have been using on my HM67 chipser laptop (L502X)

original topic can be found here:

http://forum.notebookreview.com/dell-xps…tages-more.html

and about the versions itselfs, here they are:

Intel ME firmware update for L502X DOWNLOAD from mediafire /// MIRROR by ximinez
MD5 checksum: 868A6D2E1947ACD50A1D79295F2CC504
Intel ME FW version: 7.1.52.1176
notes: Intel ME firmware update tested on L502X, stock Intel ME firmware for L502X is 7.0.4.1197.
to update the ME FW, start update_Intel_ME.bat file, and then restart the machine to run the new FW
this update has been proved as stable and the overclocking patch is tested on this version.

we are also planning to upgreade the 4 MB flash chips from our laptops to 16 MB ones

more info here (on the last pages)

http://www.bios-mods.com/forum/Thread-UE…-BIOS-and-HOWTO

this may allow us to run 5 MB versions instead the small 1.5mb ones

@ kasar:
Welcome at Win-RAID Forum and thanks for your contribution!

@kasar

You are right, but my text was somehow misleading. I should have asked for newer or missing drivers and Firmware Updates (e.g. ME6 1.5MB) - my bad.
EDIT: Meanwhile I have corrected that sentence.

I have some older versions I have been using on my HM67 chipser laptop (L502X)

Thanks for the link to the Intel MEI Firmware v7.1.52.1176, but I am offering already newer ME7 Firmware versions within the start post.

Please help me!
How i can restore my original 9.0.30.1482 firmware?
I tried flashing the bios, nothing, so please HELP!

@ZyKLon

How i can restore my original 9.0.30.1482 firmware?

Why do you want to downgrade the firmware? What happened?

[ZyKLon]

Bus speed always 99.76 Mhz and cpu fan is too loud.

[Fernando]

@ZyKLon

Bus speed always 99.76 Mhz and cpu fan is too loud.

I doubt, that the Intel ME9 Firmware v9.1.0.1120 is faulty.
What have you done to solve your problem? What is missing resp. what happened while trying to solve the issues?
What about overclocking? Have you tried to reset everything to default and then readjust step by step your previous settings?
If you really want or have to downgrade the Intel ME firmware, >here< is the link to the Intel ME9 1.5M FWUpdate v9.0.31.1487, which is the latest of the v9.0 series.

Intel MEI Drivers & Software Set v10.0.2.1000 WHQL for 1.5MB SKUs (link)

@shroeder

Intel MEI Drivers & Software Set v10.0.2.1000 WHQL for 1.5MB SKUs (link)

These SKU drivers seem to be absolutely identic with the "normal" Intel MEI drivers v10.0.0.1204 WHQL refresh, which I am offering within the start post of this thread.

[shroeder]

The HECI driver in itself is of course the same between the same revision of 1.5MB and 5MB SKUs MEI.
But for people who use EXE install, this one has just what they need for "consumer motherboard" (no SOL, no IMSS etc).

Hello!
06/19/2014 AsRcok released new BIOSes for Z87, example Z87 OC Formula BIOS v1.91. To my surprise, they all contain the MEI version 9.1.2.1010. I tried to flash on its motherboard is Asus Z87 Plus, but was not luck. FSB - 99.8 MHz and BCLK - is locked.
But, we can conclude that the motherboard is on the 8-series chipsets, current supported version MEI 9.1.2.1010. It turns out that there should be support in the BIOS, and not in the settings, as we previously thought.

[Pacman]

That is very interesting news,
then possibly the change could be found if we compare this with older BIOS, but i expect other MB maker will have implement this update also.
It’s a shame still no 9.1.x FITC

[lordkag]

From a quick look, it would seem that MePlatformPolicy is the main component to be updated, other changes are just for new CPUs, overclocking and secure flash. Unfortunately, the change cannot be ported, only manufacturers can build this mainboard dependent module. But as Pacman pointed, if Asrock started, others should soon add it, maybe with a little push/request.

[ex58]

Interesting…but no BIOS 1.91 on the ASRock web page:
