In the previous articles we talked about ME Region and how to determine ME Region version with UEFITool software. But you might like to know other ways to determine ME Region version that doesn’t require UEFITool software.

In the pictures bellow we will show you how to determine ME Region version only with HxD software and computer calculator.

Picture 1: Search $MN2 in HxD software. (Using Ctrl+F)

Picture 2: There are 5 colored boxes in the second picture. Ignore the yellow one (it doesn’t have any use in the determination process 😀). 4 boxes are left. They are:

First box (Red): 0800
Second box (Gray): 0100
Third box (Light blue): 0200
Fourth box (Dark blue): 2605

* ME Region versions include 4 parts which are separated by a dot (.), each one of the 4 boxes above is one part of ME Region version.

Now you need to move 2 last digits to the beginning. Like this:
0800---> 0008
0100---> 0001
0200---> 0002
2605---> 0526

Picture 3: Now go to the computer calculator and click “View” then select “Programmer”. Then click “Hex”.

Picture 4: Now enter the above digits one by one and choose “Dec”. Make sure to calculate a number then go to the next one (Do Not calculate all of them together). This means:
Hex---->8---->Dec
Hex---->1---->Dec
Hex---->2--->Dec
Hex---->526---->Dec

You can’t write the zeros that come before numbers in Hex mode because it doesn’t read them. (I should say that “Dec” of single digit numbers is always same as the number itself. For example Dec of 1 is 1, Dec of 2 is 2 … you can try it yourself to make sure)


4.jpg

Hex--->8--->Dec=8

Hex--->1--->Dec=1

Hex--->2--->Dec=2

Hex--->526--->Dec=1318


Now by putting the numbers (that you got) in a line, you can get the ME Region version. Ours is:

8.1.2.1318


Easy Peasy lemon squeezy ;)😊
Good luck :)
