If someone could help me out I would appreciate it.
So I updated through Dells software for Bios update A18 on my Dell T3600. Now, it is stuck in ME Recovery State and doesn't boot. I tried pulling the CMOS Battery and waiting for about 10mins but issue is still the same. I can get into the bios but thats it. Tried to boot to a bootable USB but it prevents me from doing anything as it just states ME in Recovery State.
I tried to update the bios in order to get an E5 2665 CPU I have to work in it as the bios on the machine was first revision (never updated).
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Never tried what you did. I always end up flashing the bios multiple times to get to a current revision. Always scared me to try jumping 10 levels. You should be able flash the bios again with a earlier version. When you go to the Dell download page read the installation instructions on updating the bios without an os. If you go over to bios mods they will tell you that you need an external programmer. I have one but it's also not the easiest thing to accomplish. You would also need a complete bios dump. Dell does not supply this. The bios files they have are just updates.
