I am using a Asus H110M-R with a Xeon E3 1270 V6. I modded the bios with coffeetime and used a corporate ME Kernel with it enabled and just added the xeon microcode and no extra patches. The problem is that now my bios shows ME version 0.0.0.0 and MEAnalyzer shows:
This is the Bios
I flashed using CH341A. I did try installing the ME drivers but it stays the same
How can i make ME work with my setup?
Me Fw 0.0.0.0 is normal because the HAP Bit was set (reserved = yes), and the ME FW that the user uses was a cut down version of the ME FW Corporate version. H110 uses ME FW Consumer version.
If you want to run xeon/mutant cpus, then the bioa is correct, as HAP Bit was set and the ME FW it uses are the corporate cut version. Want to use tpm? You need a dedicated tpm module. Secure Boot should still works tho.
Yes Tpm is working with a module. I needed it to play warzone, It says Bios Firmware Update Required even though it is the latest, I have tried a lot of fixes for it none work and what i suspect is the ME fw (Ai also says the same)
And also if set reserved to no, I get the same result
Hi everyone,
I am experiencing a severe BIOS and Intel Management Engine (ME) issue with my HP ZBook Studio G4 workstation (Core i7-7820HQ / 32GB RAM).
Symptoms & Current Status
The Intel ME Firmware version is displaying as “0.0.0.0” in both the BIOS and system information.
Shortly after powering on the laptop normally, the screen goes completely black, and the system freezes.
Removing and reseating the CMOS battery temporarily restores the display and allows the system to boot.
The internal laptop display frequently malfunctions; however, connecting an external monitor via HDMI allows me to successfully access Windows.
“HECI Disabled” and related communication errors appear during startup and immediately upon booting into Windows.
Troubleshooting Steps Taken
Successfully flashed the official HP BIOS (Ver 01.49) via USB. While the main BIOS update completes, the Intel ME region fails to update, and the core issue persists.
Attempted to run the official HP Intel ME Firmware update package (sp151136), but the updater executable refuses to open.
Ran the official Intel diagnostic tool (MEInfoWin64.exe), which immediately returns: “Error 76: Communication error between application and Intel(R) ME module (AMT client).”
Conclusion & Request
Having exhausted all software-based and USB flashing methods, it is highly evident that the Intel ME region is completely corrupted (indicated by the 0.0.0.0 version), causing the HECI bridge to become unresponsive.
I am looking for guidance on how to properly clean and re-flash the ME region or any advanced hardware-level solutions to resolve this corruption. Any advice or direction would be greatly appreciated!

If it is 100% an ME issue. You should either use WIN64 to flash the bios or use an external programmer like a CH341a. I was experiencing similar problem when I change CPU from E3 1270 V6 to i7 7700, ME region remained corrupted after flashing bios with EZflash 3. Using a CH341A fixed it for me and ME and related things are working fine
Thanks for the confirmation! You are absolutely right. I actually just tried using the WIN64 tools MEInfoWin64 and FWUpdLcl64) in Windows, but they failed and threw Error 76: Communication error between application and Intel ME module
