Hey Fireball
Yes at first I did not, but the mistakes I made are not related to this issue, and I am very familiar now lol.
I did actually follow the instructions correctly even though I was using the wrong firmware. The reason the instructions are not an issue is because I was never able to flash a new BIOS or firmware, after megarec wiped the BIOS it was game over because only then did I realize that sas2flash does not support Perc 6/i . It's too bad the tools and instructions don't first verify that sas2flash works, otherwise you're right the card and any card which does not support sas2flash will be bricked AFAIK.
The sas2flash tool simply is not compatible with the Perc 6/i as mentioned earlier with error messages showing it is not detected (I tried every version included with the download and others linked from this thread).
Yes I understand you don't need a BIOS to flash the card with sas2flash (I tried many different versions of it in DOS and Linux) but I was referring to MegaCli which would technically allow me to flash my firmware back, but it depends on the card being detected (MegaCli cannot detect this card after the BIOS is wipe, it does detect my second remaining alive Perc 6/i of course).
The issue is that sas2flash cannot detect the card even with the -o flags and everything else in the manual so there's no way that I can figure out to get the card working again.
Even megarec will not recognize the card anymore despite being able to wipe the BIOS.
Do you have any ideas on a possible solution?
Thanks so much everyone.
