@rgrimes Yes. That was all after the initial SD recovery. The LED is constantly off now, no blinking or anything.

Where could I find steps to recover from a bad upgrade?

#212 | RE: [Problem] Dell R720xd iDRAC BIOS Recovery datum

Thu May 27, 2021 2:58 pm

@2ndbedtime what model server do you have? I ask cause I spotted this in your log display_factory_info.sh[2255]: Hudson Project = idrac-13g-IPS-release-A-X-Rev 13g would indicate a Rx30, and this thread is dealing with Rx20. You classify your problem as exactly the same, yet the log looks to me to show that the linux kernel loaded, and then for some un displayed reason it reset to uboot. Has someone glashed a Rx30 idrac firmware into a Rx20 machine? From what I see so far there are no indications of a failed emmc chip.

@codebreaker what model server do you have? You appear to have a Rx30 as I see this in your uboot log: iDRAC8=>. procedures and expections can be different between the idrac families and you may be failing cause your trying to apply the wrong firmimg.d7 file, which iirc should be firmimg.d8 for a idrac8, though I have not verified that.

ATTENTION TO ALL: If your NOT dealing with a 12g Dell server, aka Rx20, please do NOT expect all that is written here to apply to your server!! Infact you may damage your server by following some of the instructions in this thread that are very 12g specifc.

@rgrimes Hi there, it is an r720.
I am unsure where to go from here as I can't flash a standard r720 bios on it thru the front sd card. I also cannot interrupt uboot.

Any suggestions?

Thanks !

Edit: some more information
- no light on rear of iDRAC
- no front lcd screen
- same errors while booting as page 1 of this thread
- I managed to get a blue backlight on the lcd screen once while resetting the pins a1-b1 on idrac sw on the mobo.
Pins a2-b2 seem to do nothing in terms of interrupting boot.

@2ndbedtime Well one thing that has happened to the iDrac console interface is due to some security issues it has been shutdown by later versions of the idrac software, your software seems to be display_factory_info.sh[2255]: 2.63.01.60.62 display_factory_info.sh[2255]: 2.63.60.62.3 which is very new.

You say you have a r720 yet I now see at least 2 things that indicate to me the iDrac is running r730/idrac8 firmware. Any ideas as to how that happened?

You say you cannot flash a standard r720 bios (sic, I think you mean iDrac image). This may be due to changes in how to do this when iDrac8 is running, or it may be due to the iDrac8 refusing to load iDrac7 code. This appears to be a real pickle of a situation.

@2ndbedtime I did a quick dig, there is a 2.63.* version of iDrac for both R720 and R730, any chance you flashed the wrong one?

ATTENTION EVERYONE: Flashing the iDrac past 2.50 or there abouts well disable the uboot console interrupt due to an exploit in the idrac. I believe, but have not verified you can get the console back by using a sd card to downgrade the firmware to something before 2.50.

@rgrimes

I bought the server in its current configuration recently - I got it cheap because iDrac was not working, I thought I might be able to fix it.

I might try to restore version 2.63.60.62 with SD card while reading serial output. Maybe it can restore the current image without needing to interrupt.
I will try very soon.

I believe this is true, they have patched the ability to bypass uboot after a certain firmware upgrade. It was spoken about earlier in this thread.

@rgrimes I have a Dell R320. To my understanding, The reason that iDrac8 is shown there is because 12G and 13G server share the same firmware (reddit - psa_read_this_before_you_upgrade_your_firmware_on).

If I remember correctly this is how it went. I got 4x R320. Then I proceeded to upgrade everything on the server using the SUU-LIN32_17.10.200.209.ISO (idrac 2.50.50.50). Worked great on 3 of the 4 servers. Then I realized that the fans was spinning faster so I downgraded to 2.30.30.30. I did this to all 3x servers. Worked fine.
Last of the 4 server had a problem - fans were at 100% and a message that it failed to load iDRAC after 10 or 15 min waiting for it. It booted into OS after that but iDrac was not available and fans remained at 100%
Next I tried to recover idrac on the 4th server with SD card using 2.30.30.30, and it worked. Then I rebooted the server while having the USB inserted and it booted into SUU and it upgraded everything. After that it returned to the previous state by fans beeing at 100% and a message that it failed to load iDRAC after 10 or 15 min waiting for it, but this time the LED in the back was not blinking like the last time. It stayed off.

After that I found this forum. Soldered headers to the motherboard, connected to serial and tried to manually flash firmimg.d7, result being in the log mentioned above. I can also boot into linux and log is as show bellow:

#220 | RE: [Problem] Dell R720xd iDRAC BIOS Recovery datum

Thu May 27, 2021 7:22 pm

@codebreaker Ok, i may be confused by changes Dell has made in the newer images of iDrac7/8. I do still believe there are differences in the images as when I go digging in release notes the "supported systems" in the 2 different downloads ONLY list wither Rx20 or Rx30 series machines. I shall continue to assert that loading Rx30 firmware on a Rx20 machine well cause you much heartache.

Now as to your current state, I wonder if it can be "downgraded" back to that 2.30.30 that worked, via a sdcard downgrade. If that gets you back to working I would just
leave it there unless there is some great reason you need 2.63.

@rgrimes

I did try before and now again. I've inserted the SD card in, plugged in server, started the server. After half an hour nothing.

As mentioned in the official iDRAC recovery procedure (https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-dm...with-firmimg-d7), the blue LED on the back of the server should blink, which means that the bootloader is pooling for an SD card. Since I've mentioned before that the LED on the back of my server stays off all the time, it is safe to assume that that is the reason why the SD card recovery does not work.

So... Is there anything else I could try besides chip replacement?

Having serial console output during the attempt to flash might tell us something.
The "blinking" light is done by the firmware, so the status only applies if the firmware that does the blinking is infact working as Dell expects it to. Once you get into a crashed iDrac situation all bets are off on what the blinking light, or lack of, is indicating and only a serial console log can really tell you what is going on.
Get us a fresh set of serial logs, both with and without a recovery SD card. Be sure to start from COLD powered off state, ie, do NOT simply use the power button, you must remove AC power from the unit, push and hold the power on button for 10 seconds or so to cause it to try a startup and drain all remaing power, connect serial console, then plug the AC power in. The iDrac WELL start to boot, you do not need to turn the machine on.

hello,

i ave the same problem as 2ndbedtime with R720xd, i think the ground can be, that someone flashed idrac8 firmware 2.63.63 before i got the server, then i did automatic upgrade via idrac (from downloads.dell.com) and idrac was bricked after upgrade..

edit: it looks like, there was normal idrac7 firmware, see here:

TL:DR: can anyone help me regarding what appears to be a zero capacity EMMC device?

Hi all, I've spent the last 40 hours (with a few hours sleep) reading all of the forum posts and trying out pretty much everything from my screwed iDRAC R720.
I had a similar issue to many, running firmware 1.20.20 and attempted a firmware update from Windows which corrupted the firmware.

After the initial firmware corruption I had:
- No flashing amber light on the rear (no light at all)
- No network on iDRAC port
- No display on the front
- Fans were running at full speed
- iDRAC Settings error on boot on VGA output of: "SWC0700: iDRAC is not ready. The configuration values cannot be accessed" press F1.
- Additional error on boot on VGA output: "IDRAC initialisation error. Continuing to boot may yield unexpected power loss due to unknown power inventory and various features lost such as remote access, active power management, thermal management, inventory, LCD, or system error reporting."management engine mode: Active"

After lots of faffing around, I managed to get a fairly robust serial communication working with FTDI RS232 3.3V USB to serial adapter connected to the J_IDRAC_UART connector (as described by doomguy #msg80465

However I just can't get things to work. After mucking around in the recovery interface and inadvertently programming the SPI to boot from SD card ("set bootcmd �sd_boot�") which appears to try to create the partitions meant for the MMC on the SD card upon boot (ref #msg81378) I managed to set the SPI addressees SPI flash at 0x100000 and SPI flash at 0x110000 back to what I believe is meant to be correct ("fwu mmc emmc") which see on line 12 of [#msg134425]rgrimes's post.

I've managed to get the point now where I'm getting the "Polling for SD card state change" but it just won't accept any firmware (firmware 1.20.20 or 2.65.65.65).

I'm led to believe my MMC memory is okay as it reports back healthy from the developer console, except the capacity is zero, but I'm not sure if this is more of an issue with the volumes that currently set up on the card:

Running the command "mmcinfo" presents the following, which from reading through all the posts I believe means that the memory is probably okay but I'm not sure why the capacity is reporting a zero:

hello,

anyone has a image of some older u-boot flash 4mb spi-nor? i tried to use some older 1.1.26 version of u-boot, which i think before is breakable on boot,
but it isn't and even it was on boot updated to newest version 1.1.34.
Here you can see the update and boot of badly flashed idrac:
