It has to be a way to get around this. I feel that the sbr file is from a card that has only got one port and that can perhaps be the problem? I have tried with 2-3 sbr files of different name like h200a.sbr, sbrempty.sbr, empty.sbr, sbr1015.sbr and I can flash it but still only one port get active. Is there any other toll that can fix this second to be activated. The port it self is not broken its just that the flash made it wrong Someone? :'(

Thanks, then you got the exact same problem as me ...I cant even find a way to back to the original d2607 fw due to missing instructions. I have now also a card working with only one port on the card.. with 4 disks. The other 4 never shows up neither in bios. Crap! Why cant the other port be activated?

I just continued and did go to last step and used the package veresion of sas2flsh to update to P16. It did go super and also adding address and resetting adapter....all fine I add the result here beneath: Advanced Mode Set Adapter Selected is a LSI SAS: SAS2008(B2) Executing Operation: Flash Firmware Image Firmware Image has a Valid Checksum. Firmware Version 16.00.00.00 Firmware Image compatible with Controller. Valid NVDATA Image found. NVDATA Version 10.00.00.00 Checking for a compatible NVData image...

Firmware Download Successful. Verifying Download... Firmware Flash Successful. Resetting Adapter... Adapter Successfully Reset. Finished Processing Commands Successfully. Exiting SAS2Flash. All is now fine.

d2607 got this message back when applying P7 and I got a question what image I should use even I had it in the string bat file as default. I guess it feels its not fully compatilble. But I typed in 2118it.bin and it accept it and applied it and reset the adapter properly. This is the response. Advanced Mode Set Adapter Selected is a LSI SAS: SAS2008(??) Executing Operation: Flash Firmware Image Firmware Image has a Valid Checksum. Firmware Image compatible with Controller. Valid NVDATA Image found. Valid Initialization Image verified. Valid BootLoader Image verified. Chip is in RESET state. Attempting Host Boot... Firmware Host Boot Successful ! Beginning Firmware Download... Firmware Download Successful. Resetting Adapter... Adapter Reset Finalized! Exiting SAS2Flash. Perhaps I should try update to p16 but I am really scary that that will fail ....

It did at last worked to flash d2607 but I needed to use the sas2flsh from Dell homepage. I followed this post. I got exact the same error when used step 5 to apply 6GB to the adapter. So I skipped that and did not reboot. Just did go to step 6 and used the dell sas2flsh then it did go through but got error resetting adapter as fault. I did just stay in the prompt and run the bat again and then it resetted the adapter ok and the address is also applied. Really good. now I have to try if I can see the 27 disks from Synology that is the absoute best system ever made. if I get some more problem around this I post it ... for sure I am not yet totally done.

Hi guys, PLEASE help! I have now latest after many oher tries also tried to flash my D2607 with the instructions to include H200.sbr instead of empty.sbr. The P16 will even in that step get the same error as always. I have an Inte CPu and not tred in another machine yet.. should not be needed. I get this result after starting bat fie 5it.bat in \5c\ folder.
