Some tasks I’d ask you to perform:
-
Check on this hdd/ssd for a folder windows\firmware (or maybe the word for firmware in your language)
If it exists there might exist some GUIDs, please post them. -
Run the ME update Version 14.1.53.1649V1.1 from the Asus support pages. If the update doesn’t run smooth,stop here
-
Update the bios to latest version. I’d recommend at least 2 to 3 steps and not using Windows tools, I’d prefer probably the bios flash utility.
-
If everything works out so far download the CSME System Tools v14.0.20+ from
Intel (Converged Security) Management Engine: Drivers, Firmware and Tools (2-15)
(You probably still have them since you used the Flash Image Tool)
Check if no ME / HECI related devices have errors in device manager
If so install an appropriate driver (link on the linked page, too) -
Run …\Intel CSME System Tools v14.0.20+ r20\MEInfo\WIN64\MEInfoWin64.exe -verbose
Post the result -
Run …\Intel CSME System Tools v14.0.20+ r20\MEManuf\WIN64\MEManufWin64.exe
Post the result -
Run …\Intel CSME System Tools v14.0.20+ r20\Flash Programming Tool\WIN64\FPTW64.exe -d spi.bin
That will hopefully give you a complete backup of the current firmware (24MB) without programmer.
Please post it.
ME update, bios updates
