Sweet I will give this a shot after work today; thank you . What did you enable on the X9SRA bios you modded previously? The download link has expired so I couldn't check it out.
I used the Supermicro included flasher and bat file. The board came with a older bios and upgraded to this one from 2015. I've been lurking here for years, but only just started posting 2 days ago because Yackman's motherboard has been a pain in the butt. I'm guessing that since he upgraded to the latest stock firmware first, that ME is seeing that the hash doesn't match. What information that I could find searching for that ME error required disabling ME by closing a jumper, flashing and opening the jumper. I've flashed quite a few patched bioses over the years, but haven't seen this error before.
to avoid updating the ME region (when flashing the mod), he may try to remove the / FDT / MER / OPR options from ami.bat /FDT - Program ME Firmware FDT Region /MER - Program ME Firmware ME Region /OPR - Program ME Firmware OPR Partition.
