waiting for your good news.Recieved your files,
Thanks
It seemd like the SPD is the key for crossflashingwaiting for your good news.
BTW the SPD of M5110 and 9270-8i are identical (I verified using md5sum) , IMHO only SPR need to crossflash and auto-recovery issue need deal with
Updates here.waiting for your good news.

And then I got a well-worked original 9270-8i with the subID for LSI.1 clean the sbr
2 clean the norflash
3 write the original 9270's sbr by@vanfawx
4 crossflashed the original sas2208's rom.
Yeah , now I know why my card show m5110 after crossflash , becasue I used latest firmware to do crossflash.Updates here.
I followed this thread
And then I got a well-worked original 9270-8i with the subID for LSI.
But,due to the old version bios,it can't work in UEFI-based OS.
So I updated the latest firmware and then the subID changed back to IBM's OEMID
Then It backed to show M5110 in bios.
I tried to flash the single BIOS but neither sas2flsh.exe in DOS nor sas2flash.efi/storcli.efi in EFI Shell can find the adapter...
I'm thinking of making a custom rom by replacing the outdated modules of the 16MB recovery image.
@gdclubredo crossflash success twice , both write empty sbr (use dd if=/dev/zero of=nullbin.sbr bs=512 count=1)
1 use 2208_16.rom (firmware version 23.16) and lsi9270.sbr
2 use lsi2208 (firmware version 23.23)and lsi9270.sbr
but both still show m5110 card, not lsi 9270-8i
megarec -cleanflash X@gdclub
why my try use 2208_16 recovery image before still show m5110 ? which rom image you use ?
did you find a way flash single bios?megarec -cleanflash X
reboot
flash the original 9270's sbr
flash the 2208_16.rom
reboot
If you can flash the single bios after that,everything'll be done
I did the same way once but my card still show m5110 after flashmegarec -cleanflash X
reboot
flash the original 9270's sbr
flash the 2208_16.rom
reboot
If you can flash the single bios after that,everything'll be done
I retried,the SubID shows it's a 9270.I did the same way once but my card still show m5110 after flash
that sounds really sketchy. i would open a return and send them back. if the seller doesn't refund you, eBay buyer protection should kick in and refund you and you can let eBay deal with the seller. just make sure you document everything just in case. if you paid via PayPal, they also provide some sort of buyer protection.. and if you funded the PayPal with a credit card, at least in the USA, the CC bank will also protect you.@vanfawx
Any chance you could send me your backups as well?
I bought two LSI 9207-8i from Ebay but think i got ripped off or sold bad returns, none of them worked out of the box.
One of them is identified as a SAS2308_2 D1 by sas2flash.efi but it says it needs a bios. When flashing, it goes all the way but is then stuck at reseting adapter and after reboot i'm back to start. Tried with older versions (P14) of sas2flash and firmware without luck.
The other is not identified by sas2flash and Windows shows it has another device ID (008f instead of 0087).
Megarec finds them both (shows as 2208) but get an error trying to dump both spd and sbr).
Seller said i could return them but it's a hassle sending them back to China and since i was ripped off on the cards i'm afraid i'll be out of both cash and cards if i do.
Thanks, i will check returning them using Ebay! Considering the time customs in Sweden takes to handle a package (may take a couple of months) a part of me is still hoping that someone has just tried to flash these cards before, messed up and that they can be recovered.that sounds really sketchy. i would open a return and send them back. if the seller doesn't refund you, eBay buyer protection should kick in and refund you and you can let eBay deal with the seller. just make sure you document everything just in case. if you paid via PayPal, they also provide some sort of buyer protection.. and if you funded the PayPal with a credit card, at least in the USA, the CC bank will also protect you.
