The files are identical so in theory I did everything properly. I did it with both methods and these are the results: Note: UEFITool extracts the whole ME Region (length 17 F000 or 1.532KB) and not just ME (length 17 D000 or 1.524KB)! Otherwise more steps are needed when you don't have access to a dump of the system to be updated.
* In my case I don't have to manually set the OEM settings (using the broken FITC) since I used a DUMP of my own bios (which already includes the appropriate settings) for the purpose of using it at same series models from Clevo. Save image file as STOCK_BIOS_ME_71601193_UEFITool.bin (stock bios + updated ME + OEM settings *) At Action tab the old ME is set to Remove whereas the new ME is set to Replace (both sizes must be 17 F000)ġ2. Right click > Replace as is and select ME_EXTRACTED_UEFITool.binġ1. Go to ME Region (it should report a size of 17 F000 and an older ME version)ġ0. Right click > Extract as is and save as ME_EXTRACTED_UEFITool.binĩ. Go to ME Region (make sure size is 17 F000 and version 7.)ħ.
Save as STOCK_BIOS_ME_71601193_HEX.bin (stock bios + updated ME + OEM settings *)Ħ. Right click > Paste Write (the changed ME region is now in red color)ġ5. Edit > Select block and change Length to 17 D000ġ4. Select STOCK_BIOS.bin, find the beginning of ME (20 20 80 0F 40) and click before 20ġ3. Select ME_EXTRACTED_HEX.bin, Right click > Select allġ2. Open STOCK_BIOS.bin and ME_EXTRACTED_HEX.bin with HxD hex editorġ1. Right click > Copy, New file, Right click > Paste Write (ignore the file-size warning)ġ0. Edit > Select block and change Length to 17 D000Ĩ. Find the beginning of ME which is 20 20 80 0F 40 (near KRID text) and click before 20 (for me that's at offset 1000)ħ.
Run MESET to overwrite the flash descriptor and reboot (constant full fan speed -> this way I know it's overwritten)ĥ. with FWUpdLcl (it updates version while keeping OEM settings)Ģ. So I followed another procedure that I thought and should in theory work (two times using different methods to make sure):ġ. That only leaked version is flawed when it comes to 6-series systems unfortunately. to rebuild the ME since I've read that it rebuilds broken images resulting in bricks. However, I am trying to find a way to bypass using FITC v7. Normally this is done by taking the Intel production 1.5MB image, opening it with FITC, changing OEM settings, clocks etc and then replacing the original using a hex editor. So, I am looking into embedding an updated ME into the bios but I'm facing a weird "glitch".
