Reviving this old thread...
I purchased a Dell R720XD with a PERC R710 mini already flashed to IT mode. when I attempted to use it I was unable to so I found this guide to re-flash assuming based on my symptoms that this card was flashed without the boot rom (No Avago Technologies message on boot).
When using this guide I follow all steps, disconnect all drives, removed the battery from the controller, disabled virtualization, SR-IOV, and I/OAT. I ran the FreeDOS ISO from a flash drive setup with Rufus, and have also tried by mounting the ISO as a disk through iDRAC. Both lead to the following outcome:
When running the "info" command after booting into the ISO, no product name, chip revision, or SAS address are returned. Ive re-downloaded the ISO a few times and tried again, but still no luck.
Can anyone provide some insight as to what I might be missing?
