Hello,
I am having a lot of trouble flashing a Fujitsu D3116 which is based on the LSI SAS2208 to 2308 IT Mode.
What I'm currently stuck on is that the sas2flash utility wont detect my Card.
Already did a couple of different attempts which I want to lay out here:
Has someone managed to do this to a Fujitsu D3116 before or does someone have some more ideas?
I am having a lot of trouble flashing a Fujitsu D3116 which is based on the LSI SAS2208 to 2308 IT Mode.

Already did a couple of different attempts which I want to lay out here:
- Use megarec to write a 256B empty sbr and use megarec with -cleanflash to wipe the flash. Boot to the UEFI version of sas2flash and it wont get detected. megarec can still see it though, so not entirely bricked.
- Use megarec to write a 512B empty sbr because I noticed that the sbr I backed up when starting was also 512B and there seems to be a revision with 512B of sbr. Aftewards -cleanflash again. no success.
- Use the sbrtool from this project on github: GitHub - marcan/lsirec: LSI SAS2008/SAS2108 low-level recovery tool for Linux to analyze the original sbr and create my own (not empty) sbr. Vendor set to 0x1000 (LSI) and Product set to 0x0086 (SAS2308 PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS-2). Tried setting Subvendor IDs /Subproduct ID to Fujitsu ones and also Supermicro. Attached a config as reference. Also -cleanflashed it, no success. A good source for PCI IDs is this: The PCI ID Repository
- Tried using different sas2flash versions, currently found P20, P14 and P5. None worked.
Has someone managed to do this to a Fujitsu D3116 before or does someone have some more ideas?
