58+ ## Known issues
59+
60+ ### Problem
61+
62+ Platform: ` MSI `
63+
64+ The following warnings appear when updating Dasharo:
65+
66+ ``` bash
67+ The firmware binary to be flashed contains Flash Descriptor (FD), but FD is not writable!
68+ The firmware binary contains Management Engine (ME), but ME is not disabled!
69+ ```
70+
71+ ### Solution
72+
73+ The locked Flash Descriptor makes it impossible to unlock and flash the
74+ Management Engine. The problem is not critical and you may continue with the
75+ update process. Your firmware will contain old ME. However, we advise to perform
76+ additional steps to flash it, as the old ME may cause some issues in the future.
77+ To do that, you will have to flash firmware with FD and ME externally using
78+ FlashBIOS. This will bypass the locks on those regions. If you wish to proceed
79+ with this approach, please follow the steps in the
80+ [ recovery guide] [ recovery-msi ] . Keep in mind that the memory will need to be
81+ trained again, and firmware settings will be reset.
82+
83+ ### Problem
84+
85+ Platform: ` MSI Z790-P DDR4 `
86+
87+ Dasharo version: Before ` v0.9.2 `
88+
89+ FlashBIOS does not work
90+
91+ ### Solution
92+
93+ The problem is likely caused by the fact that we changed the versioning scheme
94+ of firmware. Due to this mismatch, FlashBIOS only works for ` Z790-P DDR4 ` since
95+ ` v0.9.2 ` . If you wish to update to that version, you will first need to flash
96+ the BIOS region with ` v0.9.2 ` firmware and then use FlashBIOS to flash
97+ everything, including ME. You can flash BIOS with the following command:
98+
99+ ``` bash
100+ flashrom -p internal --noverify-all --ifd -i bios -w < firmware_file>
101+ ```
