The BIOS packet in XMAKB5R0P0906 folder is from Xiaomi stuff, so it is reliable. This pack is only compatible with MX150 version.
The ME firmware in ME folder is from Fernando's Win-RAID Forum. Using the latest ME firmware helps avoiding potential malicious attack. The ME firmware version in the folder is Intel CSME 11.8 Consumer PCH-LP Firmware v11.8.55.3510
and the version of Intel (CS)ME System Tools
is Intel CSME System Tools v11 r14 - (2018-08-09)
.
Warning: Since the operations are related to BIOS, there's possibility that if some errors(such as force quit the update program) occur during the update process(so as to scripts in #8), the whole system may unable to boot.
If unfortunately this situation happens on you, you need to find Xiaomi stuff to fix your device. If you use this program, you should agree that you are the person who take whole responsibility, instead of the author.
