File/ME dump from [Request] Dell Precision 5510 BIOS flash using CH341 Seems a little unclear if it’s a valid dump
FIT (from r44) doesn’t open this dump either but gives unspecific error

Yeah, it must be badly corrupt based on that output. So not an issue with MEA or FIT.
Confirmed, 4 "backups", all 4 different, 3 crash MEA, one is readable.
Hello,
is it possible to dump a BIOS EEPROM using a programmer, and then analyze the dump-file with ME Analyzer? Or is a "stock" Rom from the motherboard vendor necessary?
BR,
Lebedev
I just tried it. I made a dump of the BIOS EEPROM using a ch341a_spi programmer.
I dropped the file into ME Analyer, and got this result:
It’s an Atom based C2xxx Plattform, so it should have a (CS)SPS…
If it says that, the dump does not contain Engine firmware. Maybe bad/wrong/incomplete dump. Check it manually with a hex editor first.
I am pretty sure, the dump is valid and intact. I made 3 separate dumps (re-attached the SOIC-clamp every time). All 3 dumps have the same hash value. The EEPROM chip was known by flashrom. The validation of flashrom was also successful every time.
Is there a guide on howto check the file with a hex editor? What do i have to look for?
Maybe use UEFITool to see if there’s a ME area?
I am able to open the dump using UEFITool. I can browse everything, see all modules, drivers, etc.
But there’s no ME Region, like in other Bios files. Looks like that Bios indeed has no Management Engine.
Post a link to/attach the file.

Complete firmware, but empty pad where ME should be and almost empty FD:
Nice! I’m glad, i don’t have that shitty thing in my firewall.
What is “FD”?
@ plutomaniac ME Analyzer v1.274.0 r277 not working on windows 7 x86 x64.
even latest dell pfs extractor version 4.9 above not working.
while previous version of dell pfs extractor from 4.9 working ok.
me analyzer v1220 .0 DB r265 working ok.
i change latest DB version DB r286 with v1220 .0 DB r265
now its showing v1220 .0 DB r286 & working ok with old bios but not with latest bios.
when i try to use v1.274.0 r277 not working with DBr286 too.
i am uploading .exe bios of dell inspiron 7506 for checking.
please check on windows 7 x86 or x64 plateform for batter understang.
i reformate pc windows with latest iso & install .net latest version with paython 3.7 with all coloroma & plt tables …but not successed.

@Koekieezz i do not need its extracted files. i said in my previous post that me analyzer & dell pfs extractor latest version do not support windows 7 x64 or x86 os while its previous version done.
but with win 10 its working okay.
so need support to run these softwares on windows 7.
