    Ahhha

    Hehe :rolleyes: - but why You don't tell it to me while I'm searching the whole web? :biggrin: (sorry for this joke) :hug2:

    Well, CodeRush told me he will post it. I have posted it first in "FTK tools" day before yesterday.

    And just found this in Your hint: there is a earlier reference to the three buttons ("try it") by "TimeWalker75a" in the same thread, but I'm not able to get it as search result, because there is no clear connection to "descriptor lock / unlock" I'm searching for.

    I think "CodeRush" had written my test results with the best of intentions, see his post under "FTK tools".
    And so I hope all around the web now will be able to find this "hidden secret". :) Simply great!!

    @CodeRush

    I'm sorry for my ignorance; but can I use FTK to update ME from v7 to v8 using Intel BIN-file??

    I think the answer is no. FTK uses standard Intel FWUpdLcl.exe for updating ME from Intel BIN files, and it can't upgrade ME from one major version to another, AFAIK. You need a ME8 region dump or full BIOS backup or full BIOS image to perform this update with FTK or just "fpt -me -f medump.bin".
    Can you specify vendor and BIOS version you are willing to update ME on?

    You can try to insert ME8 to this BIOS with FITC and see if it works. Actually, three are some examples of ME7 to ME8 transition without changing BIOS code, but they are rare. ASUS X79 desktop boards are one of notable examples.

    AFAIK, its not possible for Intel HM65 Express Chipset. It always displays error (I'll post screenshot asap).

    Btw, thanks for your guidance & valuable projects.

    No problem at all. :)
    BTW, I'm starting a new project tomorrow, the successor of PMPatch project towards GUI, logging and adding/editing patches without recompilation of the whole program. See my post on IM about it.
