Hello. I try to disable Intel ME on Asus Vivobook X512FA with processor Intel Core i5 8265U (Whiskey Lake-U). I download BIOS firmware from official asus site, but when I try to start patching rom with command: python3 me_cleaner.py -S -O modified_image.bin original_dump.bin I get error: Unknown image Maybe I should get bios dump from programmer, but I don't have it. How I can fix this error? Maybe anyone have bios dump from this model of notebook. Can you share it please? BIOS from Asus site: X512FAAS.309.zip

The update contains only the BIOS code, no ME firmware. You need a programmer if you want to disable ME on this machine.
