So I successfully flashed 2 Dell PERC H310s to LSI 9211-8i IT firmware, but the first one I experimented on seems dead. SAS2FLASH doesn't recognize the card and MegaRec can't operate on it:

(in FreeDOS)
> megarec -writesbr 0 sbrempty.bin
or
> megarec -cleanflash 0
both spit out this error:
> Not able to unlock the Diagnostic registers

SAS2FLASH meanwhile doesn't see the card at all.

Not quite sure what I did wrong with this one. Is the card toast? Anyone have any ideas on how to recover it?
