Hi all!
I was trying to reflash a Dell H200 controller with this guide https://techmattr.wordpress.com/201...-flashing-to-it-mode-dell-perc-h200-and-h310/ and at the point "UEFI Motherboards" I mistakenly rebooted after the command "sas2flash.efi -o -f 6GBPSAS.FW" and not after "sas2flash_p19.efi -o -sasadd 500xxxxxxxxxxxxx".

Now if I try to execute the next step I get this error:

Code:
sas2flash_p19.efi -o -sasadd 5D4AE52-0-XXXX-8000

SAS2FLASH: Disconnecting the EFI Driver.
    Advanced Mode Set
    
    Adapter Selected s a LSI SAS: SAS2008(B2)
    
    Controller is not operational. A firmware download is required.
Enter the firmware file name or quit to exit:


I tried to input the 2118it.bin file name, and I got this error:

Code:
Firmware Image compatible with the controller.

Valid NVDATA Image found.
NVDATA Version 14.01.00.00
Checking for a compatible NVData image ...

NVDATA Device ID and Chip Revision match verified.
Valid Initialization Image verified.

Chip is in FAULT state. Attempting Host Boot...
Firmware Host Boot Succesful.

Writing Current Mfg Page 2 Settings to NVRAM.
Failed to Validate Mfg Page 2!

Due to error remaining commands will not be executed.
Unable to Process Commands.
Exiting SAS2Flash.


And when I try to ist the controllers I get the following error:

Code:
fs0:\> sas2flash.efi -listall
SAS2FLASH: Disconnecting the EFI Driver.
    No LSI SAS adapters found! Limited Command Set Available!
    ERROR: Command Not allowed without an adapter!
    ERROR: Couldn't Create Command -listall
    Exiting Program.


Could you help me please?

Did I brick my H200? Is there a way to give it alive again?

Thank you very much for your help!
Bye

What happens if you flash the firmware now? (.FW file)

Did you skip the steps with the megarec (cleanflash) command?
