<div class="bbWrapper">Hi,<br />
<br />
TL;DR flashing worked, but not sure what happend<br />
<br />
this is the first card i flashed and i'm not sure what or why things happened, so maybe someone has some insight...<br />
<br />
fallowed this guide <a href="https://lazymocha.com/blog/2020/06/05/cross-flash-ibm-servraid-m5110-and-h1110-to-it-hba-mode/" target="_blank" class="link link--external" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">https://lazymocha.com/blog/2020/06/05/cross-flash-ibm-servraid-m5110-and-h1110-to-it-hba-mode/</a><br />
<br />
put the card in a pc, booted, noticed that there was no IBM/LSI related boot sceen where it shows you the card and press ctrl+c etc<br />
<br />
booted to freedos<br />
<b>megarec -adplist</b>, did list the card<br />
<b>sas2flsh -list</b>, did not work in freedos (Error: Failed to initialize PAL. Exiting program)<br />
<b>megarec -readsbr 0 m5110.sbr</b>, created a 512byte file<br />
<b>megarec -m0flash 0 2208_16.rom</b>, did not work at first<br />
<br />
then i tried some things without success<br />
<br />
booted to uefi<br />
<b>sas2flash -list</b>, worked but said something about firmware not exactly sure anymore what it was, but it had a cmd-promt<br />
<b>sas2flash -o -f 20.00.02.00_07_it.fw -b bios_07.39.00.00.rom</b>, did not work<br />
<br />
what eventually worked was, while in uefi<br />
<b>sas2flash -list</b>, where it said the thing about firmware, i entered "20.00.02.00_07_it.fw" this started flashing something<br />
<br />
from that point i was able to fallow the guide from beginning (skipped <b>megarec -readsbr 0 m5110.sbr</b>)<br />
<br />
<b>sas2flsh -list</b>, in freedos did still not work<br />
the card bios screen started to show up while booting after the step <b>megarec -m0flash 0 2208_16.rom</b> in freedos (or maybe it was after i entered "20.00.02.00_07_it.fw" in uefi where <b>sas2flash -list</b> would complain about something firmware)<br />
<br />
and then continuing the guide, every command worked<br />
<br />
since <b>sas2flsh -list</b> in freedos didn't work i didn't have a sasadd, in uefi all i got as sasadd was zeros, so for <b>sas2flash -o -sasadd 5006xxxxxxxxxxxx</b>, i used random digits<br />
<br />
ctrl+c didn't work have to check this again<br />
<br />
some uefi <b>sas2flsh -list</b> results after flashing<br />
