[Request] Clean ME Region for Gigabyte G5 MF (Clevo V150RND)

Here’s my laptop

Hi everyone,

I’m struggling with a corrupted/unstable ME Region on a Gigabyte G5 MF (Clevo V150RND) motherboard. I’m trying to perform a “Clean ME” procedure, but I’ve hit a Version Mismatch / Tool Gap wall.

Current Setup & Specs:

  • Laptop: Gigabyte G5 MF (Clevo V150RND)

  • Platform: Alder Lake-P / Raptor Lake-P

  • Original Backup ME: 16.1.25.2049 (SKU: Consumer LP, VCN: 14, State: Initialized)

  • Available Donor (from Official BIOS FB12): 16.1.27.2176 (SKU: Consumer LP, VCN: 16, State: Configured)

The Problem: My current set of tools (Intel CSME System Tools v16.1 r0 - mFIT v16.1.25.2091) is unable to parse the newer 16.1.27 donor image.

  • Error in mFIT: “Unable to parse CSE image” or “Failed to instantiate container CseRegion:0.1”.

  • It seems the manifest structure of the 2176 build is not recognized by the 2091 toolset.

What I need:

  1. Intel CSME System Tools v16.1 r2 (or newer) – specifically mFIT.exe version 16.1.27.xxxx or higher.

  2. Alternatively, a Clean RGN/Configured image for CSME 16.1.25.2049 Consumer LP so I can stay within my current toolset’s capabilities.

I have all the dumps and ME Analyzer logs ready if needed. Any help in bridging this tool gap or providing a compatible clean region would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance

These are not PUBLIC tools, if not shared by anyone in the correct thread, then no one has yet found more recent versions.
You can try to swap the update ME region has it’s configured for the correct model and it’s from their support page.
