Issue with CrossFlashing

Dear TrueNAS Community, I'm switching from a TerraMaster to hopfully a "old" new Server. I got a SAS9300-8e (H3-25460-02H) installed. After reading a lot about it for Accessing an JBOD i wanted to Flash that card to the "TrueNAS" Version...

LSI 9300-xx Firmware Update

JoshDW19 submitted a new resource: LSI 9300-xx Firmware Update - Fixes a controller reset issue in LSI 9300-xx HBA cards Hey Community, If you are using an LSI 9300 HBA with FreeNAS or the soon-to-be TrueNAS CORE, you may experience some performance issues causing the controller to reset...

Update:
Got an Update from the TrueNAS Forum. Seems like my Root Issue was that i was following a CrossFlash Guide when i just needed an Update Guide. But still my current Issue is the same.

Before starting the Version 16.00.10.00 IT was on the Card if i rememeber correctly.

Sadly the Guide i was following did not start to backup the current Firmware. So I'm stuck.
I'm using the MSDOS "Version"

My current State:

Trying to List all

This did work before i started.


Trying to flash new: (SASNEW.bin is from the TureNAS Post)
I tryied both from the TrueNAS Version:
SAS9300_8e_IT_acm.bin
SAS9300_8e_IT.bin
But because it is an external Card the ACM Version should be the correct one? I think?

Trying to flash an older Version from here:

Firmware for 9300, 9302, 9305, 9400, and 9405W HBA for external Multi-path configurations

Firmware for 9300, 9302, 9305, 9400, and 9405W HBA for external Multi-path configurations

Channel_9300-8e_IT_Nexus => SASOLD.bin

Writing an Empty File works.

CleanFlash also works:

I used a different Guide in the Beginning. Thats why i don't have a Backup of the Original FW.
But in the end I used that Guide:

Detailed newcomers' guide to crossflashing LSI 9211/9300/9305/9311/9400/94xx HBA and variants

There's hundreds of threads on crossflashing variants of LSI 9211/9300/9305/9311/94xx cards here, on ServeTheHome, and on blogs. But they don't always discuss the subtleties of doing it on an EFI board for users who may never have used EFI...

I'm not sure what to do now?
I hope somebody can help me.

Regards
Tobias

Update
Using the Information from this Post:

https://forums.servethehome.com/index.php?threads/lsi-9340-8i-chip-is-in-reset-state-attempting-host-boot.35672/post-368950

I was able to go back to an old Version. But I'm back to working Order.
Or so i thought. Now it is showing NVDATA: 9300-8i not 8e.


Now i need new NVDATA ....
