Flash as admin again and again until success.
@xlr8r Keep in mind this:
-https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewt...=vl805#p1819139
<somebody from the rpi irc channel mentioned they took an rpi vl805 firmware, and flashed it to a pci-e card to fix a UAS bug that is only fixed on the pi
but as a side-effect, 2 of the usb ports downgraded to usb2.0 only>

I have seen it myself it wont work properly.

@boombastik:
hi and thanks

I have tried running it as admin and hitting the Start Update button at least 40-50 in succession but nothing works.
i always get this:

Targeted VID = 1106
Targeted PID = 3483
ISP file size: 24806(DW)
FW file = 0138A1.BIN
VL805/VL806 is found.
Bus=3, Dev=0, Func=0
, Chip Verision=B1
 RegAddr:0x80, RegData:0x01, HostState:0x03
After Write, HostState:0x00
Cannot Recognize SPI Flash, Try Default Flash Command To Download...
spi erase
!!!!spi_Erase():BUSY
pageSizeDW = 64
wait while programming...
ERROR:(0x00000080) read dword 0x02200002!= write dword 0x02219102!!!!
Update ISP Fail!
 

Am i supposed to open and close the flash tool each time ? or does it not matter ?
I even went as far as trying to install windows xp + 7 on Virtual Machine, but neither will let me access USB sticks .... just hitting brick wall after brick wall lol.
I know the flash tool wiped the chip as it reads back the fw as all 0000000 now, so it must have the potential to rewrite to it ?
I just dont get why it "Cannot Recognize SPI Flash, Try Default Flash Command To Download..."

This is not a problem.

Download this firmware and try to update it:
-https://www.station-drivers.com/index.ph...id=4411&lang=en

As admin and and open and close the firmware tool if fails.

Dont update to the raspberrypi 0138A1.BIN firmware.

@xlr8r
1)If you have a usb device remove it.
2)The driver must be the default from Microsoft and not via.
3)change the pcie at last.

@xlr8r move the card at another pcie slot and retry.

Hi,

it doesn't make a sense to move card to other slot as it is already detected by flash tool. It just didn't recognize the SPI flash chip. As I look at the INI file, the EON EN25F10 flash is already present:

[EN25F10]
FlashID=1C3111
ReadID=9F
WriteEnable=06
WriteStatus=01
ChipErase=60
ReadData=03
ReadStatus=05
PageProgram=02
ClockRate=32
PageSize=100

So I have a suspection that you have fake (remarked) flash chip that is not really EON but some chinese alternative. Unfortunatelly the flash tool doesn't print the flash JEDEC ID (e.g. 1C3111). I had to desolder the chip and use my SPIPGM to read correct flash ID

I was alble to flash newer FW but it was not cause of my error code 10. This was caused by PAE patch that I use in my WinXP. Without it the VIA driver worked normally.

@RayeR it does make sense when a pin does not make a good contact with motherboard. I have seen it when the flash detect the card and i couldn't flash it. That is the reason that i ask to change slot.

Hi, generally near all SPI flash has the compatible read and chip erase commands so it should always work. But unfortunatelly there are differences in write commands - this was never standardized.
If you replace your flash chip by real EON or other supported chip in the list it should work then.

>boombastik
interesting, I never had a bad contact in edge connector. But when it happen your system would get many PCIE errors that would cause Windows go crazy or Linux throwing a DMESG errors. Once I tested PCIE to PCI bridge, that used USB 3.0 cable connection between two parts and it had unreliable connection an my WinXP hanged instantly when I touched the connector while running :) Piece of chinese crap...

well im back up and running with the card. in the end just a two minute fix....

Cost me £12.99 (1 x Amazon programmer)

i know thats more than a card would cost, but at least now i have a programmer to play with lol....

thanks to all who helped.

OK, good job. So what is the flash ID readed by programmer?

I did some test of various firmwares and found that latest version for Rpi is probably not compatible with this card, simply it doesn't work with USB 3.0 devices, so I had to flash back older version and test how it works:
0138A1 USB 3.0 devices are not detected, only USB 2.0 / 1.x
0137AB USB 3.0 devices are working in HighSpeed mode only
013705 USB 3.0 devices are working in SuperSpeed mode as expected so I stay with this FW.
I also checked speed under WinXP+backported driver and Win7-x64 with VIA driver and it was the same but I checked only with slow 4200RPM SATA disk with 42,5MB/s max speed so it does tell anything, I'll test later on some faster disk...
