... writesbr ... use for IT/IR <-> MegaRAID, as your LSI in IT/IR, you shouldn't use writesbr

 

 

What screen show during LSI POST now ?

 

If you do it in EFI environment, two command as below, pls perform one by one again and clearly show all detail

 

sas2flash.efi -o -e 6

sas2flash.efi -o -f <firmware name>.bin -b mptsas2.rom

How are you, my stranger friend ，As you said, I did that and  got this .

 

 

I typed “quit” this time 。（ I tried to enter the firmware file name before, and  got  the same error  as  type " sas2flash -o -f  <name>.bin" ）

 

 

sas2flash.efi -o -f <firmware name>.bin -b mptsas2.rom

 

 

12e.bin and 12e.rom  is the firmware and bios P20 version  what i renamed  id。

thanks  for your reply again

 

now ， I Can‘t saw LSI POST  info  when  power on  

 

 

When I execute the command “sas2flash.efi -o -e 6”,  prompted  like  that  firmware  is missing . Please enter the name of the firmware. I don't remember the detailed ，i will give the photo later

 

But when I execute this 

sas2flash.efi -o -f <firmware name>.bin -b mptsas2.rom

 

I get the error 

 

Chip is in RESET state.  Attempting Host Boot...

ERROR: Firmware Host Boot Failed !

 

 

 

The computer is not around now. I will follow your  steps and  take photos   for you tomorrow （24 Hours later） 

 

Wait for me

The card seems not flashable, it show erase success but actually not.

 

Likely ROM chip in write protect or read only.

thanks  for your reply，This display  is after I bought it,  not after execute “SAS2FLSH -o -e 6” ， My description made you misunderstood 😭 ，sorry

That doesn't mean you shouldn't, if nothing else at least update to latest RAID firmware, since it's using an ancient one, it might even detect the SSDs after that, though since trim won't work not the best place to use them anyway.

Hello, my brother, I also bought this card, bought from China, I am a person who loves toss, and therefore some problems, So I came to ask for help

 

PS：I came to this forum for the first time. I don't know the rules of posting. If there is any inappropriate place, please forgive me. I am a Chinese. English is relatively poor. All content is basically machine translation. Please ignore some grammar mistakes.

 

Here's what happened to me.

 

This card was disassembled from HP's server, and the IR mode is displayed after power on, as shown in the figure below, but my hard disk can be found. Very strange

 

Because the firmware version is relatively low and IR mode self check is very slow, I want to brush it into P2O it mode and download the latest firmware from “the official website9212_4i4e_Package_P20_IR_IT_FW_BIOS_for_MSDOS_Windows.zip ”

 

The first step is that I didn't back it up. I executed this command (I regret it very much now)

 

“SAS2FLSH.（EXE or EFI) -o -e 6”

 

I saw too many posts， I forgot to execute it under DOS or UEFI, but I am sure that the first one is the command and  teld me  executed  Success。

 

Advanced Mode Set Adapter

Selected is a LSI SAS: SAS2008(B2)

Executing Operation:

Erase Flash

Erasing Flash Region...

Erase Flash

Operation Successful!

Resetting Adapter...

Reset Successful!

Finished

Processing Commands Successfully.

Exiting SAS2Flash.

 

Then I execute the second one (because DOS prompts failed to initialize pal when I update the firmware command, all of which I know is executed in EFI environment)

 

“sas2flsh -o -f 214i4et.bin -b mptsas2.rom ”  The following error is prompted

 

Chip is in RESET state.  Attempting Host Boot...

ERROR: Firmware Host Boot Failed !

Due to error remaining commands will not be executed.

Unable to Process Commands.

Exiting SAS2Flash.

 

I tried this solution  below  of unraid，-writesbr  and  -cleanflash  all  printed successfully， but flash firmware still tip me failed

 

Firmware Host Boot Failed !

It can be frustrating at time and I've gone thru' this pain. Try the following sequence. Someone had reported success with writing empty sbr after cleanflash. The standard sequence is before. Also check the syntax for my steps. I'm typing this on mobile from my memory.


Try starting over:
1. megarec -cleanflash 0
2. Megarec writesbr sbrempty.bin
3. Reboot
4. Sas2flsh-p14 (without -o) -f 6gbpsas.fw
5. Reboot
6. Sas2flsh-p20 -f 2118IT.bin
7. Sas2flsh-p20 (sas-add)

I am not sure if there has a problem with the card itself, such as the firmware is blocked at the factory.
Or because I executed  this command  first  “SAS2FLSH -o -e 6 ”？

 

But I see that others have succeeded in this operation.

 

By the way，

What is the difference between the  “SAS2FLSH -o -e 6 ” and “  -writesbr 0 mepty.bin + -cleanflash ” 

 

One more thing

before I flash firmware  ,   when   i  turnd  on  power and  pressd  Ctrl + C  ， it always  prompted this 

But I've never been in the WebBios 

 

 

 

Ask  you for help. thanks
