    [HELP] ME Region Cleaning Request – Motherboard GK5MP5X 1.0

    I’m working on a laptop in which I replaced the PCH, but I’m unable to clean or rebuild the Intel ME region using FIT.
    When I load my dump into FIT, it only shows the Intel(R) ME Kernel section. The full ME region structure does not appear.

    If I manually replace the ME region inside the decomp folder and try to build the image, FIT does generate an outimage.bin, but the file is corrupted.
    After flashing it, the board does not power on — no signs of life.

    I’ve identified that the issue happens because my original dump does not contain a complete or valid ME region, so FIT cannot reconstruct it properly.
    Unfortunately, I cannot re-read the original chip because it has already been overwritten several times.


    Device information:
    • Model: AVELL A52 LIV
    • Serial Number: AVNB2050425
    • Motherboard: GK5MP5X 1.0

    If needed, I can upload my current dump for analysis.

    Thank you in advance.

    Wrong forum. Post the above inside the dedicated bios sub-forum. See above.

      MOD's will move it to the BIOS forum. Even with a dirty ME, it should still boot if you PCH replacement is ok just very slowly to first come on. It all appears ok to me - perhaps you aren't doing it correctly? Only replace ME Sub Partition.bin in the decomp folder with your virgin ME (e.g. 14.0.31.1120_CON_H_A_PRD_RGN.bin).

        ASUS ZenBook UX480F : need help with cleaning the ME region of my BIOS dump
        by mkdj
        Dear all,
        I have a ASUS ZenBook UX480F with the following symptoms:



        I suspect it is a BIOS issue. So I decided to try to clean the ME region. I followed the guide on win-raid, and I believe I have done everything correctly. My problem is: when I open the outimage.bin in ME Analyzer, it says that it is Extracted, and not Region, Extracted as it should be. Is it normal, or did I do something not correctly? This is my first experience editing BIOS files.

        I would appreciate if someone could take time to explain the issue, so that I can learn. But I would...

        Need help cleaning ME region on Zbook 17 G1 bios dump
        by loopster
        Hello guys,

        could I please get some help cleaning the ME region of the attached Zbook 17 G1 bios dump (CH341a, neoprogrammer, chip-desoldered, dumped twice, identical checksum)?

        Symptoms, delayed BIOS post (ca. 45 secs.) keyboard not working, touchpad not working, booting linux live, console says "Management engine not configured".
        I tried following the ME firmware cleaning guide, but whatever Flash Image Tool version I try, I get the same error:

        Error 10: Failed to open with processed commands.
        Unable to open file: C:\Users\Elitebook...

        Asus ROG Strix Scar G533qm with a G733qm Motherboard, can I modify the Bios to accept G533 Bios
        by glovecaps
        Hello,

        I have a Asus ROG Strix Scar 15 (G533QM) that had a dead motherboard (Graphics card dead) and after trying to fix the motherboard with no success, I bit the bullet on a sale for a new motherboard. I ordered a motherboard for the 15 inch model which is the one that I have, and when the motherboard arrived it wasn't for a little while that I saw it was from the 17 inch model.

        My question is, can I update the Bios on this G733 motherboard to a G533 Bios.

        The reason for wanting to do this is that the keyboard isn't working as it should, and I think this...

        Embedded Controller issues, living an absolute H*LL with my ASUS Vivobook Pro 16X OLED
        by GardevoirForEver
        I've been dealing with so many complications for months, trying to find and then fix the root cause of the issue I really need help and I have to solve this on my own (Going to Asus headquarters isn't an option for me. First, because I'm very stubborn and want to insist that I can fix this sort-of-myself somehow, and second, the location is too far away for me anyway).

        Right now I'm desperate trying to put an end to this nightmare, but OK, I'll do my best to be somewhat brief in explaining and relating the entire situation and context.
