Can you post the content of:

nvmupdatew64e.exe -i -l yourlogname.log

Yes, nvmupdatew64e.exe can still see the NIC:

C:\>nvmupdatew64e.exe -i -l

Well, what worked for me (my case was a little different):
Create nvmupdate.cfg or .txt, replace Vendor, Device etc. as needed.

Example:

CURRENT FAMILY: 1.0.0
CONFIG VERSION: 1.14.0

BEGIN DEVICE
    DEVICENAME: NNT
    VENDOR:     8086
    DEVICE:     15F3
    SUBVENDOR:  1043
    SUBDEVICE:  87D2
    NVM IMAGE:  .\FXVL_15F3.bin
    IMAGE DOWNGRADE: TRUE
END DEVICE 

Then, nvmupdatew64e.exe -u -l -c nvmupdate.txt

If this doesn't work, you can try to add the -f (force) command. It might still output an error, however the file will be "written", after a reset it should work.

Also, see this link:

Good luck!

It worked! 😅
I think what I was missing was the "IMAGE DOWNGRADE: TRUE" entry in the config file. Thank you so much! 🙏🏻

For posterity, if you updated your Intel NUC I225 NIC with the ASUS 1.89 NVM image on this thread, and your NIC started misbehaving (mine kept disappearing after a reboot), assuming you created a backup of the previous EEPROM/NVM images with the command:

eeupdatew64e.exe /nic=1 /dump

The following will bring your NIC back to factory:

Create the following nvmupdate.cfg file:

CURRENT FAMILY: 1.0.0
CONFIG VERSION: 1.14.0

BEGIN DEVICE
DEVICENAME: NNT
VENDOR: 8086
DEVICE: 15F3
SUBVENDOR: 17AA
SUBDEVICE: 22D8
NVM IMAGE: .\<MAC_ADDRESS>.bin
IMAGE DOWNGRADE: TRUE
END DEVICE

Execute the following commands:

eeupdatew64e.exe /nic=1 /d .\<MAC_ADDRESS>.eep
nvmupdatew64e.exe -u -l -f -c nvmupdate.cfg

the NVM flash will fail but after you reset the NIC with the command below and power-cycle the NUC the I225 should be reset to factory

eeupdatew64e.exe /nic=1 /adapterreset

Use the following commands to verify everything is OK:

eeupdatew64e.exe /nic=1 /eepromver
eeupdatew64e.exe /nic=1 /adapterinfo
nvmupdatew64e.exe -i -l
 

I sent a message to yor e-mail, thx to your response.
