I noticed. after fitting the card to a machine that has a windows OS and booting up, would I simply go to the command prompt and execute the sas2flash.exe -o -f 2118it.bin ? just curious... how would this software know where to find the card. don't want it to try and flash something else.

G Run Windows Shell (command) in Administrator mode If you have just the one LSI card in the machine the flasher app will pick it It won't flash you BIOS or Video ROM You'll need to pick and match files as they suit I had all the folders on a USB stick so they were handy Also had an old Non UEFI motherboard to do it on, I'm a DOS man from way back But all thats gone after fire, including all but one of my LSI (HP branded) LSI cards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgelza Posted April 26, 2021 Report Share Posted April 26, 2021 Not to worry, also come from the DOS age, can also through in some Netware 2.12 if you remember... ... so I'm logged in as a admin, know command shell well. Happy to hear about the tool will only do the card. command wise I assume it's the exact same commands as the DOS option, as in the sas2flash 2118it.bin and then the rewrite of the serial number. I'm mostly, make that only on MAC now, I'm going to use the wife's computer for this. tired of taking the NAS apart to try, then problem, put back together until next try.

Georgelza Posted April 26, 2021 Report Share Posted April 26, 2021 Well I'll be dammed, just wanted to make sure I got ALL the files on the windows USB... and discovered 2118it.bin is not there, so quickly popped to my lsi_dos drop, well guess it was not there either, so re-downloaded the file, and it's not in there... it is in the sas2008 drop.

mobilenvidia Posted April 26, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2021 Give it ago in UEFI boot mode, files should also be in the downloads Its less likely to hide cards as nothing other than UEFI BIOS has booted I normally don't use Windows unless no other options Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgelza Posted April 26, 2021 Report Share Posted April 26, 2021 happy to try excuse me... but the UEFI steps are not clear, well at least for me... (or at least those I've found online) I got the BIOS bootable USB. what do I copy where, what do I execute when. G The docs : Quote You can use UEFI to flash the BIOS too. Have a look here http://kb.lsi.com/KnowledgebaseArticle15807.aspx is not there anymore either. Trying to follow : http://brycv.com/blog/2012/flashing-it-firmware-to-lsi-sas9211-8i/ not booting. on another site they said create a eft/boot folders and drop files into the boot folder, also not working.

jblack Posted October 27, 2022 Report Share Posted October 27, 2022 Hi, sorry to resurrect an old thread yet again, I'm running into an issue flashing an IBM ServeRaid M1015 9220 card into IT mode and I can't seem to find any evidence of anyone else running into the same issue, much less a solution. After booting to the DOS USB stick, the first command [megarec -writesbr 0 sbrempty.bin] works fine and returns [Success] after running. But the second command [megarec -cleanflash 0] returns [CFI Query failed Flash is Not Programmable]. Did I manage to get some weird card with a one time programmable flash or something? Maybe the flash is just too old? Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobilenvidia Posted October 27, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2022 Try going to next step with the SAS2FLSH command, it may already have been in IT mode Or try flashing back the M1015 SBR to go back to where you were Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jblack Posted October 27, 2022 Report Share Posted October 27, 2022 Well, after ignoring the error and proceeding anyways it seems to have worked just fine. It was awfully disconcerting to see a message telling me that my card wasn't programmable while I was trying to, well, program it, but it looks like it's in IT mode now. I guess you can safely ignore that error? I'll leave my post there in case someone runs into this same thing in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
