Lenovo M1215 Crossflash

[Propaganda]

I can't seem to get sas3flash to recognize my Lenovo M1215 card. I have tried with and without the jumper. Tried in both windows 10 and efi with the same results:

sas3flash.exe -list
Avago Technologies SAS3 Flash Utility
Version 17.00.00.00 (2018.04.02)
Copyright 2008-2018 Avago Technologies. All rights reserved.

        No Avago SAS adapters found! Limited Command Set Available!
        ERROR: Command Not allowed without an adapter!
        ERROR: Couldn't Create Command -list
        Exiting Program.

Any ideas of how to move forward?

With SAS2 IBM/Lenovo controllers, you had to wipe them with the megarec utility first to remove the non- LSI/Avago signatures. Maybe its the same with SAS3 controllers? I can't say I know for sure though.

Ended up being able to use freedos/rufus to get the dos version of sas3flsh working. Jumper also needed to be installed for the initial flash...
