If you received an error message, the IME firmware update did not happen.

Which update tool are you using? For a B150 chipset board, you should be using the ME2 firmware update package. The error message of Invalid File seems to indicate that is the case.

You are may not doing anything wrong. Some information I received, second hand, is that the X299 system is not yet included in the IME firmware update fix.

If you check the folder where the ME1 update program is, after you run the program you may find an error log file with an entry about why the update failed. It may be the same as other X299 users have seen, an SKU mismatch error. That means the SKU code of your processor is not included in the list of processors/systems that the IME update tool currently supports.

The "fix from ASRock" contains programs given to ASRock by Intel. ASRock or any other mother board manufacture does not create the programs that apply the IME fix. They also do not determine which processors/systems the fix applies to.

Only Intel can supply the IME firmware updates, either with the tool they gave to ASRock, or with an IME firmware update that is included in a UEFI/BIOS update. ASRock and the other mother board manufactures are just the middle man, the messenger of the fix. All they can do is give us what Intel gives to them. When will X299 be supported by the IME update program? I wish I could tell you.

I have an Asrock Taichi x299. I ran the detection tool from intel before applying the fix from Asrock, and it returned that my system is vulnerable. I ran the ME1 package from Asrock and restarted my machine. I then re-ran the detection tool from Intel. It returned that my system is still vulnerable.

My output is the same as his.  

I can confirm this problem with  the x299 taichi and i7820x.  The ime version already on these chips is newer that the version showing as the replacement, and according to intel , that  version  is not meant for the Skylake  x  chips..
