I think that the wiki of Sakaki is very good.
If you have an external way to flash the firmware then you are quite safe,
unless you make mistake on the connection. But it is quite difficult.
I reflashed the firmware many many times with incremental changes and I had
always a backup ready. One
Thanks for the information. If you ever change your mind about sharing the
howto, I think having the information consolidated in a clear guide would be
very valuable as well. I have wanted to deactivate the ME on my x230 for a
while but haven't had the courage yet.
Here a good wiki about the topic:

Reading in the Troll Lounge. Thank you again !
Thanks :) Yes if you read also the post in the Troll Lounge: "Hope for new
hardware" you can find even more detailed information. And in internet is all
at grasp. No need of another wiki :)
Thank you, anyway for all these links ;)
Anyone interested in this world will find useful information.
I'll learn about it.
libre greetings !
In the me_cleaner github wiki there is a lot of documentation. I applied the
latest version of the tool that uses this finding:

and in the latest iteration the intel me was
I did finished the howto, but I decided to not share it. To me the legal
implications are a nightmare. Even the removal of the whitelist can be
considered illegal since the wifi card not approved by Lenovo could exceed
the legal limitations. This is only an example.
I think that who has the
It's like a nigntmare for me. You'll need time and patience. Uff! (:P.. And
as it's explained in intelmetool is more difficult in later versions...
In fact in my case the ME stops at the BUP phase (bring up).
In the slide 17 everything is explained very well here:

Citing the author of the me_cleaner: For pre-Skylake firmware (ME version <
11) this tool removes almost everything, leaving only the two fundamental
modules needed for the correct boot, ROMP and BUP. The code size is reduced
from 1.5 MB (non-AMT firmware) or 5 MB (AMT firmware) to ~90 kB
It should be ok considering that the laptop where I used it is "old" (Lenovo
Y70-70) and with only the version 8 of the ME. Newer versions of the ME are
more difficult and more complex. The wiki that I am writing is very simple,
just the description of the steps I followed and where I found
Ok, I assume intelmetool is trustworthy (or not, but I'm really a newbie).
Anyway it is an interesting world. I will learn more about it. Please write
your wiki! ;)

he wrote: This project is an attempt to remove as much code as possible from
such firmware without falling into the 30 minutes recovery mode.
Whit his tool almost all ME partitions are overwritten with empty values.

You deactivated EME ? I thougt it was not possible.
Ok slowly working on it
Seconded.
I see. Good, then no problem, you take all the time you need. +1
The English is not a problem. I don't speak italian since many years :) I
need to find the time.
What are you talking about? I am extremely interested. In fact I insist and
persist. We can make a deal if you want to spare some time, if it is faster
and easier for you write it in I-talian. It'll be a pleasure for me to
translate it (and hopefully learn something in the process.
I'm sure
thanks but it looks that it doesn't have generated so much interest.
