I used ME_cleaner on the latest BIOS (v3.10) for a Asrock 370m ITX/AC.
All of the steps works as they should but on reboot BIOS still shows ME version 11.8.50.3470.

Based on the analysis performed by this tool: This system is not vulnerable. It has already been patched.
It seems like the newer firmwares prevent the routine detection of ME.
Grimeton reported success with v1.9 BIOS, I may roll back to that and try it.
