Reports about success works are here: https://github.com/corna/me_cleaner/issues/3.
So, turns out. Disabling the ME, kills the network card. The Intel i219-V is there and visible but the drivers cannot be loaded. I was only able to work around this by flashing the main BIOS including the ME.
I tried capital "-S" already. Gonna try "-s" now.
"-s" worked.
Try with -S
Actually I'm not a 100% convinced....
I had the problem and installed the BIOS including the ME and it worked, afterwards I installed the "-s" version and it still works. I wonder if the ME-enabled BIOS made the driver install happen and now it's not a problem anymore as were a fresh install would create the same problem again :-/
Will test and report.

Grimeton. where are you seeing ME reported as version 0.0.0.0 in the BIOS?
I've tried it on three different BIOS (1.9, 2.1, 3.1). Every time ME_Cleaner reports success, the BIOS flashes perfect but after reboot the BIOS still shows the ME Version 11.8.50.3470 in the Advanced/Chipset Configuration page
I've tried with "-s"
and with "-S"
"-S"
seems like it is actually cleaning the firmware as it lists the FTPR modules line by line and shows the ones removed:

Setting the HAP bit in PCHSTRP0 to disable Intel ME...
Checking the FTPR RSA signature... VALID
Done! Good luck!
I am on the X370 ITC/AC (Non gaming) version it shouldn't make any diference.
i failed with an asrock z370 myself,it was a dual bios, and i have no idea where things went wrong but somehow after flashing to the 1st bios chip, the one used by default, and restarting, it immediately entered into restore mode and begin copying data from the other chip, which should have contained a good unaltered bios, but after restore completes, and restarts pc, it immediately does the same thing again, over and over. Now interestingly, i had never touched the other chip since it was remove box, never even touched the jumper either. So I move a jumper to the header that activate the other chip and it do the same thing, boot up copying stuff from the first chip...basically endless restore loop
Mine wasn't bricked it works fine, I'm just not certain it cleaned the ME. After reading more I think it did, but my BIOS always reports the ME number no 0.0.0.0.
Is this the same for everyone else?
Hello,
I just used me_cleaner with the latest BIOS image (1.90) on an Fatal1ty Z370 Gaming-ITX/ac from ASRock and it works just fine. ME is now reported as version 0.0.0.0 in the Bios.
