Some of the recent CSME blobs previously attached in replies are actually UEFI Capsules. You can use UEFITool to extract the actual payload, which is within a raw FILE section.
The ones included in the MEGA folder, linked in the OP, should always be good. Meaning, FWUpdate-ready in either a clean and ready to be stitched with IUPs state (CSME >= 12) or directly usable (CSME <= 11), as explained in detail at the OP.
the question is whether in addition to this user @Simani did anyone have a problem with updating 11.8.96.4657_CON_LP_C_NPDM_PRD_RGN.bin using FWUpdLcl64.exe, I assume thatās why it was done
Where do you get the latest firmware versions when it comes to intel management firmware from which site??
I would like to test the firmware file to see if it is functional and not damaged 11.8.96.4657_CON_LP_C_NPDM_PRD_RGN.bin in 240730.rar using FWUpdLcl64.exe what is the command to test the file if such a command exists at all?
The files in 240730.rar are not meant to be used with FwUpdLcl without a modification which dartraiden already described.
To be completely correct youād have to remove some bytes at the end, too. Remove the header, check size in MEA, and correct the file accordingly.
Canāt test with ME 11, but if I put the header in front of a ME 14 update file i get an error message when checking file version:
If the header is removed, the file is accepted in this command, no matter if the fist 16 bytes are 00 or FF
@ plutomainac: As far as I can see these two are missing in the repo from the first post (assume they should have correct format):
11.8.96.4657_CON_LP-11.8.96.4657_COR_LP.zip (5.5 MB)
Mmm, I have them in the DB but not uploaded. Forgotten it seems. I can do it later, thanks for the notice!
I think FIT does it automatically (I merged ME and PMC using FIT and FwUpdateLcl accepted the firmware without errors)
As for FwUpdLcl, the command to test firmware.bin, you used -fwver, which means it tests but does not upload a newer version, so for the future I would like to know, and besides, what program do you use to modify these files when you need to remove a few bytes at the end, which program, I assume that the version that you provide is compatible with the FwUpdLcl tool
Any hex editor (HxD, etc)
Yep, I think so, too. FIT and FwUpdLcl expect the partition table in the beginning, with starting point and length for the different partitions- so it wouldnāt matter if thereās some garbage at the end of the file.
Sorry guys, I didnāt realize that I should pay attention to this when sharing a new file. Next time Iāll be more careful about what I share. Anyway, I have modified the files I uploaded earlier. If anyone knows, please check if I did it right. I deliberately did not change the previously uploaded files. 
11.8.96.4657_CON_LP_C_NPDM_PRD_RGN
11.8.96.4657_COR_LP_C_NPDM_PRD_RGN

CSME 11.8 CON LP C NPDM v11.8.96.4657 is working this time , thank you
Why are ME update files for the stock FWUpdLclMe tool are bigger than the actual ME region on the flash chip? Any pre-existing write ups on this?
For example, ME 8.1 for HP Z620, update file is 7,843,840 bytes.
The ME area of course is quite a bit smaller, 5,287,936 bytes:
Fixed: Yes
Base: 5000h
Address: FF005000h
Offset: 5000h
Full size: 50B000h (5287936)
hola me podrias pasar el archivo porfavor gracias
A post was merged into an existing topic: [Guide] Clean Dumped Intel Engine (CS)ME/(CS)TXE Regions with Data Initialization
11.8.96.4657_CON_H_DA_PRD_RGN.bin can be flashed in Linux using Intel (R) Firmware Update Utility Version: 11.8.94.4518
I donāt have another newer version for Linux, does anyone?
The utility doesnāt need to match the FW Image version.
Itās not a requirement for flashing, its common sense to use the closest version to the FW image, preventing discrepancies.
EDIT: When availableā¦usually a user will share it. Or start digging yourself for it, the forum will appreciate your effort and findingsā¦
Thatās why I asked if there is a newer version.
EDIT: Until now I was looking for them from Fujitsu, HP, but lately they havenāt appeared anymore!
