Edit:

Destroyed the Card. So "we" learned you cannot crossflash Cx-4LX to CX-4



Any chances I can crossflash a ConnectX-4LX to ConnectX-4

Code:
mstflint -d 01:00.0 -i fw-ConnectX4-rel-12_18_2000-MCX455A-ECA_Ax-FlexBoot-3.5.110.bin -allow_psid_change burn
Done.
    Current FW version on flash:  14.23.1020
    New FW version:               12.18.2000

    Note: The new FW version is older than the current FW version on flash.

Do you want to continue ? (y/n) [n] : y


    You are about to replace current PSID on flash - "FB_2510111032" with a different PSID - "MT_2180110032".
    Note: It is highly recommended not to change the PSID.

-E- Burning FS3 image failed: Device/Image mismatch: FW image file cannot be programmed to device ConnectX-4LX, it is intended for: ConnectX-4 only
Edit:
Code:
mstflint -d 01:00.0 -i fw-ConnectX4-rel-12_28_2006-MCX455A-ECA_Ax-UEFI-14.21.17-FlexBoot-3.6.102.bin -allow_psid_change --no_devid_check b
Done.
    Current FW version on flash:  14.23.1020
    New FW version:               12.28.2006

    Note: The new FW version is older than the current FW version on flash.

Burning FW image without signatures - OK
Restoring signature                     - OK
-I- To load new FW run mstfwreset or reboot machine.
the "--no_devid_check" seems to burn it, let's see how it works (fingers crossed)

There is parameter that bypasses all checks, I think it was "-b".

But be carefull because it can "brick" the card when used with a wrong firmware. Before you try to crossflash make sure that your card has the pins for recovering the card.

If you can tell me which one it is?

Or if you could tell what's it called on a "normal" CX4 ?

Some Pictures of the Card:

In the last picture, upper left, we have a FNP jumper. Shorting the pins put the card in recovery mode being recognized as a memory device.
Just flash the correct firmware.
