BIOS 0805 Z370-E with Intel ME Update

[jologskyblues]

Hopefully someone will come along who knows why this BIOS 805 ME is blocking installing prior versions. I had 616 .cmo saved with lots of tweaks I would like to get them back.

I also reset bios to default then tried it again. Still the "can't use the file" message. But can use 805 again as normal.

I'm making an educated guess that this Intel ME firmware update has something to do with patching up a critical security vulnerability so maybe that's the reason why rolling back seems to be blocked. Googling up IME turned this up:

how can we check the Intel ME FW version post the update, should it be done from the BIOS menu?

I dont' use AI Suites on my Asus motherboards. I prefer tweaking BIOS manually. However, I know others like AI Suite but for the Z370 Series, the AI Suite III (updated) has not yet been released. I am involved with this stuff everyday at www.mousegolf.com .

You can check firmware version from BIOS - after the update it must be version 11.8.50.3470

You can also download the tool from Intel

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us.../software.html

Install it then click DiscoveryTool.GUI folder then run the program. It will say what version is your firmware below

I have learned that there is no going back once 0805 is installed. This is due to the Intel ME security in the new BIOS. The 0805 update works fine for me but it's good to know why it won't allow downgrades through any built-in BIOS Flash method on the Z370-E Gaming Board.

How about adding some punctuation marks so we can read his post better?
