Could someone help me build a usb sd card to uefi for firmware upgrade?

[HITTI2]

Page 64 of your motherboard manual describes how to boot into uefi shell.

Ok I'm in shell. I had to download some file and rename it.

 

[HITTI2]

This is the worse shit ever. Now I'm stuck.

 

[HITTI2]

I'm gone nuts with this now.

 

[HITTI2]

I can't scroll up or down
I can't do a damn thing.

 

[HITTI2]

Ok getting closer. Any clues?

 

[HITTI2]

Ok guys. Yea guess I'm getting closer.

Following this tut.

Cross Flash IBM ServeRAID M1015 to LSI 9211-8i on UEFI | skrue

Ran into a problem.

 

[HITTI2]

I bricked the card. Pc goes into boot loop. Pull the card, pc starts up.

 

[HITTI2]

Any way to unbrick it?

 

[HITTI2]

Tried the card in a dif system. Old...

Im screwed.

 

[HITTI2]

Any way to unbrick it?

Would anyone know of this? Before I return it.

 

[HITTI2]

I guess not.

How long does it take for a fw upgrade usually take for efi shell and 9211?

I waited 20 minutes it was not doing g a thing so powered down n then found it bricked.

Hi @HITTI2 usually at near midnight you need to wait more than 20m before giving up that no one is around to help

Can you just re-do the sas2flash -f <bin> (optionally ROMs) again? Or does it not find the device at all to flash too?

 

[HITTI2]

It doesn't detect the card at all.

Wow ... this sucks!
I saw you figured out your syntax error (fs0: vs fso).

I guess the motherboard make a difference ... it had never been that difficult for me.
I always used DOS boot disk/USB drives though.

If you get it replaced via RMA, maybe try the old system with DOS first?

 

[HITTI2]

Atm I can't afford new one
They jacked price from 74 to 90usd.
I'm getting a refund.

 

[HITTI2]

Not my fault efi software is buggy. I had to use uefi shell v1.0 to get it sorta to work.

No screen scrolling, it was stuck. Most fw upgrade takes nommore than 5 min. I waited 20.

Don't know where you are located but here in US you can easily find used Dell H310 (Dell branded LSI 9211-8i) for $35-45. From time to time even for $25.
If you are looking for brand new that's a different story. Most folks on here get the used ones for home labs.
