You doing it right, try it under dos
Hello, where i can download system tools packages with documentation?
@napalm_atx :
The download links to the Intel ME System Tools and some general advices can be found within the start post of this thread.
If you want to know the specific command suffix for a specific function, you can enter " -?" behind the related *.exe file.
Thanks, but i also want full ME ktis from intel, with gbe regions and MEBx modules for bios, but i cant find it
You doing it right, try it under dos
I did, both with Fwupdlcl.exe and Fwupdlcl64.exe, bootstick was made with rufus 3.9. Both times it said something like "this software does not run in dos-mode".
First of all, this is an amazing thread, lots of useful info and contributors here. That said, I have an issue. Via the info on this thread I decided to upgrade the ME region of my Asrock Z370 Extreme4 4.20 bios to the latest one (11.8.77.3664 (CON H DA)), via FWUpdate. Since then, however, I have been having fairly consistent poweroff issues on shutdown reboot and suspend, so Iām pretty sure itās caused by that. Now I want to downgrade it back to the 11.8.65.3606 ME version the bios comes with, and I have been studying the thread about FIT but canāt seem to figure out what steps to follow exactly. I didnāt foresee needing to downgrade so I donāt have an Initialized or Configured 11.8.65.3606 dump of the ME region from before I decided to FWUpdate. I have dumped an Initialized version of the 11.8.77.3664 ME running now, I have created a Configured 11.8.77.3664 ME bin using the instructions from the other thread, but how do I create a Configured 11.8.65.3606 ME bin for flashing with fptw64 -me -f whatever.bin? Iām presuming I canāt just overwrite the Clean ME Region.bin of an older ME firmware version for the original 11.8.77.3664 dumped.bin after creating the fit xml configuration and then building the configured 11.8.65.3606 bin? Or is that in fact the procedure?

Huge thanks to @Fernando and @ryan_db for providing useful data/info from their ICL systems to add proper CSME 13-14 support in MEA.
If anyone else has an ICL CSME 13 or CML CSME 14 system, please post a full "MEInfo -verbose" log and a firmware dump via "FPT -me -d csme.bin", if possible.
Sorry, that is not allowed per Intel demands.
@ blaatschaap:
What does MEInfo -verbose show? Do you have read/write access to the Engine region of the SPI/BIOS chip?
I was able to dump the whole spi without errors, as described in that other thread, so I think I have a system with that stuff unlocked.

From the MEInfo log, the CSME seems to be working just fine. You can also see that:
Host Read Access to ME Enabled
Host Write Access to ME Disabled
So you have read but not write access. Normally downgrading is not needed, the problem is usually elsewhere (bad BIOS/NVRAM, corrupted CSME File System etc). The official way to downgrade is via FWUpdate tool when the current and target firmware do not violate the SVN, VCN & PV security measures (read more at the OP). In this case, CSME 11.8.77 has higher VCN than 11.8.65 so you cannot downgrade via FWUpdate tool. The only way would be via FPT by manually transferring the settings via [Guide] Clean Dumped Intel Engine (CS)ME/(CS)TXE Regions with Data Initialization when you have write access to the Engine region of the SPI/BIOS chip. But there is no point in downgrading, as I said, because usually the problem is due to some firmware corruption which can be solved by reapplying the stock BIOS (in case itās there) or by cleaning the CSME (but you need write access for that). I suggest you rule out a hardware/peripheral or BIOS issue first because dealing with the CSME when the FD is locked can be a big pain as you can tell from [Guide] Unlock Intel Flash Descriptor Read/Write Access Permissions for SPI Servicing.
You doing it right, try it under dos
I did, both with Fwupdlcl.exe and Fwupdlcl64.exe, bootstick was made with rufus 3.9. Both times it said something like "this software does not run in dos-mode".
Is noone able to help me?
@Tigerfox :
This is the way I do it, when I want to update the Intel ME Firmware:
- Download and uzip the latest Intel CSME System Tools version, which matches my system.
- Create a folder named āWIN64ā within the root of drive C.
- Copy the content of the System Tools folder FWUpdate and the desired Intel ME Firmware (as *.bin file) into the folder C:\WIN64.
- Rename the Intel ME Firmware to āME.binā ((to make it easier to write later an error free command text).
- Run the Command Prompt as Admin and navigate into the folder C:\WIN64.
- Enter the following command and press the āEnterā key thereafter:
1
ĀFWUpdLcl64.exe -F ME.bin
Ā - Wait until the update has been completed.
- After the next reboot the updated Intel ME Firmware should be in use.
- Verify it by running the MEInfo tool (can be done the same way as written above).
Good luck!
It worked. It seems what made the difference was putting the WIN64-folder into the root of drive C instead of any other drive.

Yes I am aware, thank you. MEA shouldnāt report it as "not in DB". Iām waiting for official CMP-V release (April 30th) and we need FIT v14.5 as well.
Hi, guys! Iāve been looking for information related to update ME for a Lenovo B590 and this brought me here. I love this thread! To start with, Iāve recently modded my bios, meaning I disabled whitelisting, or better said, someone else did that for me, but I wasnāt totally satisfied with that. The ME version on it is 8.0.4.1441 and I want to change that. Iāve also been playing with UEfi tool to bring the existing bios version H1ET39WW to the latest, H1ET85WW, havenāt succeeded yet, I found a thread helping me with that. So, Iāll try using some updates first, taken from Lenovo website, I hope I will succeed upgrading ME version.

All you have to do is use FWUpdate, as explained in the first post.

@Fernando Would you recommend me to install the new driver version listed in section A1/A2 or just continue with the "pure" version of ME v11.8.77.3664, which is v1914.12.0.1256? Is it better to just use only driver or software/driver?
