Now you can update ME normally with the FWUpdate tool. Intel Management Engine should be working. Make sure you have the newest Intel ME Components Driver installed in Windows. Flash the new ME with the Intel Flash Programming Tool fptw64.exe -ME -ERASEħ. Click 'Extract Region' and save the ME region as 'new_me.bin'.ĥ. Run Intel ME/TXE Injector again, this time open the 'new.bin'. Choose a ME Firmware version that has the same size (5MB) and where the version is as close as possible to the dumped ME version (Displayed in the Tool). Run Intel ME/TXE Injector, choose the Intel ME7 Firmware Repository folder, and open the BIOS file 'dump.bin'. Boot Windows and dump the BIOS and ME with the Intel Flash Progamming Tool in the console as administrator fptw64.exe -d dump.binģ. Put in the FDO jumper to disable the RW protection of the ME Section in the Flash (BIOS region will still be write protected!)Ģ. I will document the steps I took in case somebody with the same problem finds this thread.ġ. Trying to update ME Firmware using Windows Trying to update ME Firmware using DOS System Information in BIOS (missing ME Firmware) AMT/ME is enabled Error Code 10 Trying to start MEI Driver or 82579LM I assume that the ME firmware is necessary for the network card to correctly initialize, and the newest BIOS doesn't work correctly with whatever old ME firmware is currently in the flash. How can I downgrade the BIOS back to an old Version to try to get the ME Firmware updated and the network card back running? Both the Windows 7 firmware update tool and the DOS update Tool do not work and abort with the error 'Error 8193: Intel (R) ME Interface : Cannot locate ME device driver' I noticed the Management Engine Firmware Version in the BIOS was not shown, so I tried updating the Firmware. It did reset all settings, but the network still doesn't work.

I reset the BIOS using the CMOS clear button.

After that, the network card didn't start at all (Code 10), even after disabling and reenabling it in the device manager. Then I tried reinstalling Windows 7 圆4 and the necessary drivers. Since downgrading the BIOS is not allowed and made impossible by HP, I tried reflashing the newest BIOS v2.32 first, didn't help. After upgrading the BIOS to the version 2.32, I have the following problem: First, the network card Intel 82579LM didn't work and only got into the network after disabling and reenabling it, similar to this issue report.
