Bios 1301 - Wrong ME ???

[Beto556]

I updated my bios today in R6E
Bios 1 = 1004-1301
Bios 2 = 1102 (not upgraded)

What I find strange is that BIOS 1 shows the following ME



I have last ME Driver



Should not be the 11.11.50.1436 ???

What´s wrong ???

I used instructions in this thread to update the ME:

Bios 1201 may install the correct ME but I'm not sure.

1301 will update your CPU microcode.

Thanks Hopper64 for trying to help me

When I saw that the BIOS 1301 had not modified the ME I downloaded the BIOS 1201 and had it installed.
It also did not modify the ME Firmware.

I then downloaded the file below to install Intel driver and firmware



I unzipped the file and tried to run it inside Win10 PRO with administrator credentials.
Also did not work

Finally, I accessed the command promp (adm privileges) and tried to run the firmware updater directly. The answer was this



I do not understand why then BIOS 1301

PS.: As if nothing was ever so bad it could not get any worse, my Win10 now say that it is not activated because hardware change

I am running into this same issue as Beto556. The ME is not updated. The thread you reference refers to a flash.bat file. Do I need to run this from the command line? I ran the asussetup on the main directory and it indicated it installed. It is indeed installed on the computer when I check but not showing in the bios.

I am confused I guess by what needs to be done here. Help would be appreciated.

I forgot to mention

When I try to run MEUpdateTool inside Win10 x64 (adm credent) the program screen does not appear and after a few seconds this screen appears

I simply followed the recommendations per restsugavan in post #4 in the link, but it looks like the file that he posted is not available now. I’m hoping he will see this thread and upload the file again for you guys. Give it a day or two. Hope this helps.

Thanks. What file is that exactly? I did try to click on that link but it was no longer there. Is there an official way to do this? This is just for that USB vulnerability if I am correct. My system shows it is protected for Spectre and Meltdown.

Thank you Hopper64, Here is guideline for ME 11.11.50.1436 update manually all friend.

1. Download my ME1111501436.7z link here
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mL8...ew?usp=sharing

2. Use 7-zip Extracing all file to C:\ME

3. Run Administrator Command Prompt on your Windows 10 64-bit

4. Change directory to C:\ME

5. Use this command to backup your ME Firmware 11.10.0.1287 H
" C:\ME\FWUpdlcl64 -SAVE ME111001287H.BIN " then hit ENTER key
then waiting till finish.

6. Use this command to update your ME Firmware 11.10.0.1287 H to 11.11.50.1436 H
"C:\ME\FWUpdlcl64 -F ME.BIN " then hit ENTER key then waiting till finish.

7. Use "exit " command on Windows Administrator Command to close that windows.

8. Restart and enter BIOS by hit DEL or F2 checking your first page BIOS you must see on ME Firmware line that must be show like this buddy.


9. Install Intel Management Engine Interface 11.7.0.1057 driver that ASUS Provied on Chipset Menu download link. It'll need to working together
with ME Firmware 11.11.50.1436 H buddy.

Hope those above could help your case @Beto556

Hopper64 and restsugavan

Once again thank you for the help but unfortunately nothing works.
I did exactly as you said.
Interesting that the ASUS chipset file says it will install MEI version 11.7.0.1064 but installs 11.7.0.1057.

It happens that you always end up giving me this message (for Backup Image and Flash Firmware)



PS.: Using ADm privileges


The interesting thing is that the microcode of the processor was modified to 02000043 but the firmware of the ME did not

[Beto556]

I think I've figured out the solution.

I downloaded the X299_cons_20180122.ZIP file from the R6E website and unpacked it. Normal Win10 running,

The MEI driver 11.7.0.1057 (asus chipset)

I disabled HWINFO64 and TT RGB Plus (both monitor the system)

I ran the MEUpdateTool.exe file with Adm. Credentials

Voila !!!!! worked and updated de ME firmware in Bios
