ME Firmware Cleaning Guide

[oscarmeyer]

Original problem was slow start and 5 slow flashes of caps lock. Resetting to defaults resulted in not being able to get back to BIOS screens, requiring a reflash of the chip.
I loaded EC and BIOS from a donor board, updated BIOS via network. System was working (did not brick after loading defaults) but still had slow start. Identified ME as likely culprit in slow boot and 5 flash symptom.

I loaded bios file into Intel FIT (version 14.06) and changed Intel ME Binary File parameter to point to the ME RGN file and built a new image. I then burned that outimage.bin file back. 5 flashes is gone, but so is the disk controller. I've done all resets and it will not show up. I don't see where what I did is really any different than the process outlined in the ME Firmware Cleaning Guide, except for the Create Intermediate Files option. So, not sure what happened here. Any possibility of recovery?

I'd like to know what I did wrong here, rather than just upload files and have someone fix it. I can of course upload any files required for analysis.

Appreciate any assistance. Assuming I can get this resolved, I will still be left with a 'HP Endpoint Security Controller Problem', but one thing at a time. Thanks in advance.

Flash Programming Tool is used to backup and flash the bios on a working machine. Modular Flash Image Tool (MFIT) is used to clean the ME firmware.

@volinakis thanks bro for REGIONS ME . its work and i try to hide a specific GUID from a binary .bin
The idea would be to hide the splash logo and not see it with the "change logo" or with the "phoenix tool" or with the "uefitool".



its possible bro?

Re: ME Firmware Cleaning Guide

Hey, where can i upload this file? This TXE firmware is not in the database

Its ok to use an older or newer version,it doesn`t have to be the same one.The major and minor version has to be the same though 1.1.x.x

Re: ME Firmware Cleaning Guide

I checked my BIOS dump with ME analyzer, which is 9.1.37.1002.

I use Intel ME System Tools v9.1 r7 package and FIT, but no matter what I do I will always get an error when opening the BIOS dump in FIT. No idea what I could be doing wrong. Error number 22.

Have you checked the bios backup with ME Analyzer.Are there dual bios chips or only one.What motherboard is it.
