Yes, i followed up DeathBringer’s instructions, but intel ME won’t update at all, it just stay at the same version after the update, i really don’t know what to do …
U advise to sell it out or you think i can get it to work? Error code 00 made me really mad, i really can’t understand why every other x79 boards support it and my motherboard not…
I wouldn’t give up. Maybe cross flash bios from Asrock mobo working with your cpu - if you have programmer in hand? If it wouldnt work, maybe get ME from Asrock working mobo, put it in FITC tool and transfer settings accordingly to make the new ME image, than flash. I would bet your Bios has the code working with Xeon already, even my obsolete old H61 OEM bios, it has support for Xeon cpu’s Here is example how to transfer ME settings from @plutomaniac Little help with update H61 chipset to ME 8 version for Ivy bridge support I am not sure if it could help, but chipsec has module that can verify if your uefi is white listed against the standard uefi images. https://github.com/chipsec/chipsec
@DaCou how can i take the ME region from a bios to another? BTW my intel ME verison is the same of other boards that support xeon v2 : 8.1.40.1416 , and this version should support IVY-E
Its so weird. I injected EVERY uCode of x2 Xeons: nothing. Same 00 Error.
Its not bios related as its never even processed, as long as u see 00 code. So no ME or newer uCodes will effect on bios, as the system cant even process bios/post. The cpuid 206D7 (Sandy-Bridge 32nm) and 306E4 (Ivy-Bridge 22nm) is already in latest bios…so it has to be a design limitation due to Asrock choice.
@DonGeg97 ME is black box, and the same version of firmware doesn’t mean ME is same. There are some manufactured fuses stored, the boot guard starting here for example and many more. At the link I send you can find approximate guide for transfer settings. I would even don’t worry about flash ME from different mobo if you had programmer and time for it. The error 00 is for for debate, how would pc send the message if Bios not inicialized at all? But maybe it is right, but again I searched Bios of Lenovo B320 in disassembler (look what the machine crap is) and there are some setup strings which are for Xeons to get inicialized. You told you inserted bunch of ucodes and nothing. I would recommend you keep checking the ucode version (maybe in CPU-Z?) after your attempts as well. You can phisically get ME from different machine by “fptw64 -ME -d ME.bin” if it has unlocked FD region.
I got a CH314A programmer. I think i will try to flash the xtreme4 (ATX) bios into my mobo, just to see if it works. If the machine boots with the Xtreme4 bios, i will think up to make an hybrid bios to make it work properly. If it not boots, the CPU is already on the Bay, i will sell it out
I flashed the Extreme4 Last bios. Nada. Nisba. Nothing. It boots up with my 3820 but with the 1650 v2 no way to make it work. 00 error. Bad choice for me to buy this cpu.
