I was trying to delete the boot roms from my controller, and following some instructions, ran
sas3flash.efi -c 1 -o -e 7
since then, I have not been able to recover controller 1
I am stuck in a place similar to this thread:
except the solution doesn’t work for me, because none of my versions of the flash utilities seem to have a command to write nvdata back to the card ( funny enough, I AM able to dump the nvram of c0 , but I cant figure out how to write it back )
no matter what I try, I am stuck with this error when I try to flash:
mfg page 2 mismatch detected
writing current mfg page 2 settings to nvram
failed to validate mfg page 2
firmware fault occurred. fault code 2622
due to error remaining commands will not be executed
unable to process commands
exiting sasflash
Things I have tried:
-
using megarec3 and writing sbrempty.bin / running cleanflash before attempting to write the firmware
this looks like its working, but reports I/O address high, not supported, so I dont think its writing -
dumping the entire flash contents from c0, and writing back to c1 with sas3flash ( since dump seems to be the only command that has both read and write commands in sas3flash.efi
-
running above with the j2 jumper shorted
-
trying to access the card with lsiutil 1.72
-
accessing card with linux live ( lsirec )
No matter what I try I cant get past the above error - would appreciate some help.
At this point ive got a linix live, freedos, and efi shell bootable usb, and will give anything a shot
I have searched a fair amount before posting this, any help greatly appreciated.
