    Re: ME Firmware Cleaning Guide

    Hello SMDFlea,
    is it possible that the bios file is defective?
    With this Lenovo X1 Carbon 5th, the touchpad does not work under Windows 10 at any time.
    Maybe it has something to do with the bios file.
    Thank you very much

    Yes thats right. Hre`s the link at win-raid https://winraid.level1techs.com/t/in...ols-2-15/30719
    Scroll down the page to: C2. (CS)ME System Tools .Click on one of those tools links and it`ll take you to mega. Check back there every few months to see if there`s a newer version of the tools.

    You can run into a few issues sometimes trying to open a bios with an older version of FIT than what it was built with,ME 11 and under seems to be ok,its 12 and above that can be problematic.MEAnalyzer will tell you which version of the tool it was built with,that exact version might not even be available. Ive got 3 different versions of the "Intel CSME System Tools v12" ,r10 r14 and r21 ,each one has a "Tools Version Info.txt" file with a build number for each tool. The r10 FIT version is 12.0.6.1120 ,r14 FIT version is 12.0.22.1310 and r21 FIT version is 12.0.49.1536 .
    If i have a bios doesn`t open with one version i try the others,if it doesn`t open with any then its probably because the bios or ME firmware is corrupt.

    I created this file again on your white.
    Now I don't know if it's correct.
    Please delete my wrong file so no one gets hurt.
    Many greetings
    Ive left the bios at post #84 and added a note not to use it. This new bios cleaned with FIT looks ok to me,it has kept the original configuration.

    EDIT: Do NOT flash this bios !! . Firmware cleaned with Intel ME/TXE injector does not keep the OEM`s original ME/TXE configuration. Open this bios with Flash Image Tool (attached) and the bios at post #87 with FIT 11 (copy FIT to 2 seperate folders with each bios) and compare the differences.

    Hello the intel me/txe injection tool has already helped me four times.
    Operation is extremely simple.

    My problem was solved. Actually FIT version really doesn't matter.
    I thought that FIT will check only 8MB bios, but actually 4MB part of EC rom was missing, so it did some stupid things inside bios instead of repair it..
    Thanks for hint.

    The answer is in the winraid guide: A. About Engine Regions & Configuration

    PRD_RGN is stock FW .Its recommended to always use PRD_RGN ,even if you can`t find an exact version,if there`s one thats a little bit older or a bit newer ,and has the same major and minor version its ok.

    Re: ME Firmware Cleaning Guide

    I think the wording on Win-Raid was due they are tired after so many years of help with not much return knowledge. Nice they found someone who could continue great job there.

    I have problem with my bios i described here in post #10
    https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=70264
    ME don't show it, but im sure this is corporate version (business laptop with Win 8 pro for government district) 5mb, but final size after FIT showed in ME analyzer is unproper, even i change 1vs1 ME prd_rgn (found exactyle same numbers in repository).
    The idea was to try older FIT and check what will happen. Laptop works on bios from same working unit, but with 15s delay, as typical for ME.

    I read that US Army made big order for PC's but completely without Me region. This would be interesting how they switched it of completelly..

    It doesn`t matter which FIT version 10 you use,what does is the firmware you give it. There is corporate and consumer,check your bios backup using MEAnalyzer it will tell you which one you have.

    Yes i know that now,but at the time of the announcement it appeared that way. @plutomaniac ,the owner of the site and the author of the ME cleaning guide said that the announcement was poorly worded. I`m happy they`re still around

    The win-raid forums are closing at the end of this year,its a sad time for all who have used the site to gain knowledge from some of the really talented members there.
