This has been resolved by moving fdo1 jumper from 2-3 to 1-2. It's been there forever so this board likely never worked right while it was in production LOL (pictured in 2-3 position)
I've got raid on 2-3, ME on 1-2 and AMT on 1-2, AMT was on 2-3 but hasn't seen to have made a difference (pwrmode1 seems to control AMT found the descriptors hidden under sata cables)
Oh my God I found it...my sata cables were covering it up...
It's not in the manual!
It was set to AMT disabled...I'm about to turn it back on I'm certain it'll work now!
I can try taking the motherboard out of the case tonight to make sure it's not shorting, it's in a 1u that was given to me, just trying to make it usable.
I tried using afudos and other bios utilities and uefitool to make a rom and I did manage to downgrade to 0706 but that didn't work either...
So I have done that unfortunately -
ME jumper on 2-3
Boot to freedos and flash bios
Power off and unplug
Move ME back to 1-2
Remove cmos battery
Move clrcmos to 2-3 for 15-20s then back to 1-2
Leave cmos battery out for several hours
First boot will show ME status "Hard-M Disabled"
Second...
"I found some jumper pins" isn't helping me, sorry. I've already reflashed the bios with ME jumper in recovery, as I already mentioned. I've already cleared cmos with the jumpers as well.
I have this exact motherboard with the exact issue. Hoping OP will post the resolution.
I have also moved ME jumpers, new bios chip, new CPU, etc. Management engine just says it's in recovery mode with 1 core no matter what. Flashed bios again and again and reset and flushed power and so on...
