You have done something wrong - today I have personally tested this mod. The procedure was as follows: 1. The original and modified BIOSes were copied to a USB flash drive (FAT formatted) 2. Via M-flash original (bios and ME) bios was flashed. 3. After the reboot, "Optimal settings" were set . 4. Via M-flash was flashed modified BIOS. 5. After rebooting, the "optimal" settings were set in the BIOS. Slic is present.
idk. I copied it on my flash disk. Original v2.8 was already installed so I didn't reinstalled it. I selected in bios M-flash and update bios + ME. It updated bios, then PC restarted and then started to update ME. Then PC restarted but don't boot anymore... What I searched on google, I'm not alone who killed MSI mobo by flashing also the ME part (even with original bios). I will try to RMA the mobo... So for everyone I probably recommend to not update the ME (It's not even really needed right?) and use AFUDOS...
