You're not able to run a cleanflash?
I've been in that fault state plenty of times with all the testing I've done with SAS2008 cards and always been able to recover. It's nearly impossible to brick these cards. The one way to brick them is by using sas2flash -o -e 6 which is why I never recommend using that to clean a card.
Code:
megarec.exe -cleanflash 0
