ROG Maximus XI Gene (Z390) bios ME FW version rollback/swap

M11G mod 1901.zip (8.9 MB)
Hello, I’m trying to swap the ME version already on this bios with an older version, included in the file. How would I do this? CoffeeTime does not have support for swapping ME 12 versions, only ME 11 as far as I know.

You can try to write full SPI image or ME region only with Intel FPT tool (Requires FD unlocked), do note that unpredictable results may occur on such ME FW downgrades, it is advisable to have an SPI programmer and full backups the IC(s) content before any writing operation.

Other option requires to rebuild/clean ME FW with the desired ME FW version using Intel FIT tool and then using Asus USB BFB feature with the resulting image.

CH341A or other, aside of course…

If I’m not mistaken, if you don’t remove a GUID, it will automatically upgrade ME

What differences would there be in the resulting file made by FPT versus FIT?
I have already unlocked FD through CoffeeTime.

Its only to do with the flash method used.
