Thanks for letting us know guys but Iâll remove any links or attachments to these files in order to preserve what we have here.
Hello, is there anyway to pull a specific partition ID section and create a backup, something along the lines of C:\DRIVERS\WIN\ME\FWUpdLcl64.exe -save C:\Test.bin -partid ISHC.
I flashed the wrong ISHC firmware (Intel Integrated Sensor Hub Firmware for Windows 10 (64-bit) - ThinkPad), and lost access to sensors. I have two of the same laptops, one with functional sensors, could I pull the ISHC partition firmware from that through software?
Maybe. Run FWUpdLcl64 -save csme.bin, compress the resulting "csme.bin" file and attach/link it here.

Thanks for the assistance. I have uploaded the MEInfo and
for both the faulty and working laptop.

Ok, ISHC is not included at the FWUpdate Restore Point image but we can get it from the proper Lenovo ISH Update. What is your exact model?
LENOVO ThinkPad Yoga 260 Laptop - Type: 20FE-0010AU
I had to find a Yoga 260 SPI/BIOS dump to extract the ISHC firmware from it and even though the incompatible version you flashed is newer, you should be able to downgrade because the SVN hasnât changed. Download the attachment and run "FWUpdLcl64 -f Yoga260_ISHC.bin -partid ishc".

I tried with -OEMID and -allowsv, no luck. -generic gives a different error.

I should have reported that my laptop sleeping issues has been fixed since upgrading to Windows 2004
all future updated can be fond on this thread https://community.intel.com/t5/ProcessorâŚ-my/td-p/686736
I think I spammed this thread a lot 
The way youâve used Command Prompt will cause FWUpdate to look for the firmware in C:\Windows\System32, which is wrong.

No luck unfortunately.
Ok, letâs try something. Download the attached archive, extract the Yoga260_ISHC folder to the desktop, open a command prompt as administrator at the Yoga260_ISHC folder and run:
FWUpdLcl64 -f csme.bin -partid ishc
If it doesnât work, try:
FWUpdLcl64 -f csme.bin -partid ishc -oemid 4c656e6f-766f-0000-0000-000000000000
Yoga260_ISHC.rar (1.81 MB)
LEGEND! It works.

Output is different from other laptop in regards to sensor data, but sensors reappear in Device Manager and have confirmed that sensors are active.
EDIT: What I meant by sensor data is different is the CMD log during MEInfoWin64 output. Where the other laptop displays info on each sensor. All good though, just happy it works again.
How do I update this (highlighted with a red stripe)??? ASUS Z97-WS motherboard. Thanks!
@plutomaniac Hello guys, I have some question.
The first question: What different between [Intel Boot Guard] and [Boot Guard] ?
The second question:
{
I saw my laptop (Model Dell G3 3590) have [Boot Guard] because I executed [MEInfoWin64.exe -VERBOSE] command, here is the command result:
https://file.io/zsRECkqCq00f
[Measured/Verified Boot is enable]
Why I can update CSME although [Boot Guard] is enable ? If [Intel Boot Guard] is enable, can I also update CSME ?
}
The last question: Can I flash modify bios with [Boot Guard] or [Intel Boot Guard] enable ?
I hope you can answer my question, thank you~
None, BG is an Intel technology.
BG protects the BIOS, not CSME. You can update CSME normally via FWUpdate tool, as instructed in the OP.
No, thatâs the whole point of the technology.
It is possible to use CH341A flasher to bypass bootguard ?
