Anyone has un-unmarked dump of this firmware? As it seems, my tablet just died after the last UEFI update. Update went fine to 1.52.0 few days ago, windows 11 rebooted it finished all the sections than had an error during the intel Management Engine update. Contacted dell but my unit is out of warranty since January 2024. Dell however confirmed it, that this unit were shipped to me, without ME activation. Details even exist on my service page regarding to this, Out of Band management Disabled and the unit has the ME 3 Disabled yellow sticker to. I have the i7 8550U series. Technically the i5 firmware should work as i experienced it on my Latitude 14 Rugged devices. The magellan boards are sharing firmware between i3, i5 and i7 boards. Thanks

Hello guys,

Anyone has a clean UEFI Firmware dump for a Dell Latitude 12 Rugged Extreme 7212 from a working board. Mine just died after updating to the latest 1.52.0 version. I had it apart removing all the cards and cmos battery does not seem to help. Right now it just screams at me "TL866 Pro" required. Already purchased some WinBond W25Q128JV SPI Chips to make hard copies and have the WSON Sockets at hand to solder in.
My friends i5 variant did the same after update. His tablet, are a mission critical device used for on the field diagnostic equipment monitoring.
Specs are:
i5, 8350U 16GB,
i7, 8550U 16GB.
Thank you if anyone could share.

Thread merged... .When you get your programmer make backups and post them here, along with the service tag and we`ll fix them. https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...before-posting

Thanks for the merge SMDFlea, I just don't want to hijack the tread as it was for a totally different problem.

Sharing a service tag is not something i would do, specially when is from a device that has software on them that is locked to its HWID and or serial or UUID for licensing. I can upload my own dump but it is a total garbage nor FIT nor intel ME tools or UEFI Editor can do much with it. It does recognize that is an intel firmware and that's it. I was not able to find my HW ID that usually begins with "TW" for dell. as a usual format of ServiceTag/MainboardID: 1234567/TW1234567890A0. Dell does not store the service tag for its Latitude Rugged devices anymore in the in the SPI Flash section, for security purposes. It is stored in the SMC controller or the Keyboard Controller chip during manufacturing when the board is still in "Manufacturing Mode". Depends if is a Winstron or a Compal board. However they still store strings in the SPI Flash that reflects and identical to the Service Tag to the machine that the SPI Dump came from. Also firmware versions could have significant differences in their internal file system structure as i have learned in the past. I'am used to work for dell as a field engineer in the past. I can upload my dump and share give you my service tags in a PM
