HBA - H220 with SAS2308_2(D1) controller

 

I've read a ton of things on the forums and I've been at this for hours and not making progress, so I'm hoping someone can help.  I downloaded the latest firmware, 20.00.07.00.  My card is stuck and I can't do anything at this point.  In a UEFI shell, at least I can still see it, but can't apply firmware.  I know based on other posts, you need to flash to the latest with version 14 of sas2flash .  One issue is version 14 of the UEFI is not available on broadcoms site, it only goes to 15.  That being said, I found supposedly version 14 of it from another location on the web, "sas2hax," but I question if it's really version 14 as it shows version 19 when it runs.  

 

What I did to get where I'm at.

 

ran sas2flash -o -e 7

sas2flash -f mptsas2.rom

also have tried -f with the bin and rom at same time.

 

I keep getting (See screen shots)

No compatible NVDATA Image(s) found. 

Firmware Image Validation Failed!

 

I've also included what the it looked like before I erased the flash.

I have tried various versions and nothing is working.  Does anyone know how I might fix this as I've been at it for hours and not really getting anywhere.  Your help is appreciated!

 

 

 

 

I got the card recovered with the HP firmware.  Every article mentions using SAS2FLASH version 14, but that version is not available on Broadcom's website.  Anyone have a copy of the UEFI version they can share with me?

I actually got it to work with the dos version vs the UEFI.  I think I'm good now.  FYI if anyone else runs into this, I did not find a UEFI version 14.  However, there is a dos version 14, but when you run via command line it shows version 10.  It was 100% downloaded in the version 14 package so who knows, but bottom line I finally got it flashed.  

Hey there,

 

I'm having this exact issue also, but I'm unable to find the HP firmware to recover with, seem to be able to find any other vendor.

Is there a chance you could share the firmware please?

 

Thanks!

The latest version is 15.10.10.00 from 2017 and the file is available here. It is an .exe file but you can unpack it with 7zip and winrar too (but if you use winrar you can just run it too).
