Since you have a programmer, I suggest you follow the Engine CleanUp Guide and at step 4 use the latest 9.1 5MB firmware. For the entire process, make sure to use the latest Flash Image Tool v9.1 from this thread.

That totally makes sense! I didn’t expect the files for the 300 series (Z390 boards) or so even if they aren’t out yet. But yeah, I’ll guess I’ll stick with my Z370 system for now.

I flashed my Maximus X Hero with the latest ME FW Intel CSME 11.8 Consumer PCH-H Firmware v11.8.55.3510 without any issues a few weeks ago, just after updating to the latest BIOS 1602 which has ME v11.8.50.3470. Everything is running A OK thus far.
Can i use intel_mei_12.0.1154 on my z170 Board too or better intel_mei_11.7.0.1069 for latest Windows 10?
Hello, I have an Asus Maximus X Hero and i7 8700k, I updated the FW to v11.8.55.3510 and MEI to 1815.12.0.2021, are these ones the latest for my platform? Also when I execute MEInfo inside the Win64 folder, it open up a CMD showing some info very fast and then closes without time to see what it says, is it normal?
I don’t know if is placebo or what, but I feel like my performance in games is worse now using this FW and MEI, I was using the latest ones from Asus official website before updating, is there a way to rollback to the ones I had (chipset is the same, only change is the FW and MEI, but I don’t remember what was my FW), if I flash the BIOS again to 1602, will this clean the FW to the original?
Thanks!
As clearly seen at the OP, yes.
That’s what console tools do. Run them via a command prompt.
The definition of placebo and/or testing margin of error.
No. No need to do anything more.
Hello, how could I authenticate tools uploaded to mega.nz? Do you have a link to OEM source where they come from? I’m specifically interested in Intel CSME System Tools.
The Windows tools have digital signatures so verify those if you like. If you don’t trust them, don’t use them.
Oh, I forgot to add that I’m looking for linux version
Not using them is what I do and what I wanted to change. Aren’t they available on any public vendor site?
Do you trust mega (or even this forum) yourself? Those binaries looks like a perfect target for something malicious. Providing hashes, mirroring or signing your uploads will be helpful.
If a given tool has a Linux version, it is included. Otherwise, it is Windows only.
No, they are not meant for end-users. We collect whatever we find in order to help the community.
Yes, I trust them.
They are all legitimate. As I said, most of them are protected by digital signatures. The CSE does not run unsanctioned code, it has its own protections, and the tools cannot modify firmware code.
After ME_cleaner with flag -S - lock bclk and 99.8mhz bus on z97. Any solutioins?
Do you even know what me_cleaner does and who its developer is?
Cleanes some parts of ME and add Disable bit. What are you speaking for? You recomend not use this stuff?
It’s like you have a Honda, remove its tires & wheel and then ask Ford service to help you use the car. The utility called “me_cleaner” destroys the Engine firmware as much as it can and it’s useful to those who are afraid of it, noone else. You can’t have both, meaning a nuked/disabled ME which is also operational. And it has to be operational for the ICC settings to be applied. So even if you ask the actual developer (not me, not here), you won’t be able to do such a thing. Maybe with a Coreboot BIOS but that’s even more off topic for this sub-forum. I have never recommended “me_cleaner” for the vast majority of end-users and I never will as long as it causes problems more often that not. In the end, if you want your platform to work as intended, leave the Engine firmware healthy. This sub-forum is about Engine updating, maintaining, research and problem fixing, not nuking.

Hi there guys and girls , i’m new to this forum and i’ve been a follower especially for the region files and the flash tools , i work on a electronic laboratory specially more into laptop and fones and i do this for quiet few years allready , and i’ve been cleaning many regions for many machines for a long time until yesterday where something happened and that intrigued me so since i notice there is here some great minds on the codding so here it is my question
i got here a toshiba ~P50 MBR version VGSG mb rev 2.1 and i’m having issues with the region due to the delay between display image after turn on (usually lapse of 16 seconds ) so cheking region on my computer it shows me it is version 9.0.20.1447
so i open FITC version 9.0.21.1452 and i do what i usually do , i add the bios to the fitc go to MEregion and select the region that is suposed to be on that file in this case 9.0.20.1447 and the oddest thing is that it usually create and outimage .bin with the correct megabytes sizes ,but specially with this bios or machine FITC is creating me 3 dumps .,… (for ex the region bios on this machine is the 2mb file ) so it create one files of 2mb another of 4mb and a third of 6.144mb knowing that the suposed correct is the 2mb file even if i solder it again to the board well then it wont display image at all (just like if bios got damaged or something ) and i’ve done this hundreds of times and never had issues , perhaps something is missing me , but that completely weird , anyone can explain why is that happening ? and wich other infos do you need ?
PCH is a HM86 sr17e
i apreciate some explanation
cheer and thk for that very good site
