Re-enable ME or reset HAP bit without hardware re-flashing? (CFL)

Open Espionage724 opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

I dumped the BIOS chip off a laptop, ran me_cleaner for the HAP bit and descriptor removal, and re-flashed it back. ME is in Alt disable mode. I'm interested in re-enabling ME back to factory defaults, and would like to avoid having to physically re-flash the old image.

I thought a Dell BIOS update would do it but it seems to flash everything else and fails with ME. I have Coffee Lake.

Edit: Re-flashing with a clean BIOS image from Dell with USB recovery (BIOS.rcv) even keeps ME disabled
