You should update your version of ME Analyzer because an important bug was fixed and many other things are now improved.

Since these issues @gloobox sent me a working bios however my unique values were missing and Intel ME comes up as N/A.

I’m using FF editor to paste my unique values into the ROM that I flash with my programmer.


I also found a tool called MB/TXE injector.

With those two tools combined I am fully backup and running

@ass9411 :
Welcome to the Win-RAID Forum!
You can do what you want, but I always install just the matching "pure" Intel ME driver and never had a problem.
By the way - the Intel ME expert is plutomaniac and not me.

@plutomaniac I don’t know if you can shed some light on this?

When I install the latest pure Intel MEI drivers I always get 3 extra software components in device manager (LMS, DAL and ICLS). For some reason the DAL always installs a driver through Windows Update even when I have disabled the auto installation of drivers through win update.
LMS and ICLS don’t do this so they just show as ‘Generic software components’ using a Microsoft driver:



Now I could update those with the lastest Intel releases from this package from station drivers for example: https://www.station-drivers.com/index.ph…id=4389&lang=en

But I would rather not have these software components at all, installing the correct Intel drivers will install all kinds of startup services as well which - given the purpose of Intel MEI - I really don’t need or want

Older versions of Intel MEI didn’t seem to install these extra software components.

For clarification:
DAL = Dynamic Application Loader Host Interface
LMS = Management and Security Application Local Management
ICLS = Capability Licensing Service TCP IP Interface

What is your advise regarding this?

[plutomaniac]

@snixel

What is your advise regarding this?

If you don’t want the extra software, check section A2 to install the INF only.

Hello,

I have this old Asus ZenBook UX31E with Intel QS67 chipset and latest BIOS.
It comes with ME v7.1.20.1111 and I’d like to update it to the latest.
If I understand correctly I need to use consumer 1,5 MB firmware to update, right? Which is v7.1.80.1214.

Is it possible to make a backup of my current firmware? Just in case something goes wrong, maybe I could flash it back.

Here is some info:

Yes the latest is ME 7 1.5MB and can be updated via FWUpdate tool. You cannot keep a backup due to the security properties of your system (locked access to ME firmware region) and UPD images generated by "FWUpdate -save" are useless.

[TrueMorph]

Updated and It seems to be working fine.
Thank you @plutomaniac

If you don’t want the extra software, check section A2 to install the INF only.

I don’t use the extra software, I always install just the INF files. That’s what I meant with ‘pure’ MEI drivers in my previous post.
Regardless the recent MEI INF drivers also install 3 software components and those are the ones I was referring to.

[tistou77]

Same, if I install the MEI driver only (inf), I also have these 3 other devices in the device manager but with generic drivers
As much as having the right drivers, since they are available

I don’t use the extra software, I always install just the INF files.

The MEI INF package is already the bare minimum install. It includes only one actual driver (.sys) which corresponds to MEI. The rest are Control Panel placeholders, similar to Chipset INF.

@snixel @tistou77
Get a full release like: https://www.station-drivers.com/index.ph…id=4334&lang=en

Open with 7zip (or other extractor)
Install:
…\intel_mei_amt_2012.14.0.1517(station-drivers.com).exe\DAL_DCH_REL\DAL.inf
…\intel_mei_amt_2012.14.0.1517(station-drivers.com).exe\ICLS_DCH 64\iclsClient.inf
…\intel_mei_amt_2012.14.0.1517(station-drivers.com).exe\LMS_DCH_REL 64\LMS.inf
and all 3 software components will have a driver. But don’t ask me what they are usable for.

Hi,
the link for "Intel MEI Drivers & Software Consumer v11.0.6.1194 (ME 7-8)" erroneously point to the download of v1828.12.0.1152.

@ale5000 :
Welcome to the Win-RAID Forum!
Although I haven’t entered the broken Lenovo link myself, I have fixed the problem.
Good luck with the related Intel MEI driver software!

Thanks

The installer complete correctly and the driver got installed but the LMS service is missing (I need it for ACUConfig).

The folder "C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Intel(R) Management Engine Components" exist but contains only a "Lang" folder, no executable.
I have remove and reinstalled, no changes.
I have also tried the repair option, no changes.

Is it bugged?

[plutomaniac]

Corporate, not Consumer drivers

[ale5000]

It is ME 8 Consumer driver.

I have been able to install it with the LMS service using this: dl.dell.com/FOLDER04469185M/5/Intel-Management-Engine-Components-Installer_C3VMM_WIN_11.0.6.1194_A02.EXE
Then I have been able to run this correctly (after installing SCS): ACUConfig.exe DisableClientControlMode

So problem solved, maybe the link can be useful for others.

[plutomaniac]

LMS is part of AMT, thus Corporate drivers, not Consumer. If you had installed "Intel MEI Drivers & Software Corporate v11.0.6.1194 (ME 7-8)", you would have gotten it installed as well.
