Someone up above has done it, but you have to flash the firmware to the SD card, then take that SD card to another host to unpack/repack and change device paths for the Linux squash filesystem.
If anyone happening by this thread happens to have a copy of iDRAC7 1.30.30 firmware that they wouldn’t mind passing on it would be appreciated. I have a server that can’t find a valid firmware image, and I’d like to try flashing it with the iDRAC version that it shipped with. It looks like the previous versions on Dell’s website only go back to 1.57.57,A00
I join the problem with the corrupted EMMC. I have been trying to boot from the SD with the steps you indicate. But I can’t get it:
Here is the current boot.

Before doing this SD card test, I tried to recover the emmc but it gives me a write error.
I am currently debating whether to buy an emmc chip and make the switch or keep trying with the SD.
Thank god I had stumbled upon this forum. Thanks to your guys help, I was able to successfully update my iDRAC firmware on my R320. Although mine wasn’t ‘bricked’ it just refused to update no matter how hard I tried or what method of updating it I used. Here is my Dell Forum right from the very start and how I have included the steps that I took for fixing my issue as there aren’t many for R320/R420 users. I was starting to lose hope with my R320, although it wasn’t bricked like yours, iDRAC just refused to update no matter how hard I tried or what method I used. Luckily, the util command worked for me and updated the firmware image from the SD card. If it wasn’t for your video I would have definitely given up! Here is my conversation with on the Dell Forum with the steps I took to fix this problem for anyone that had experienced similar issues: https://www.dell.com/community/PowerEdge-Hardware-General/Unable-to-upgrade-iDRAC-7-from-2-21-21/td-p/8388296
Hi Team,
I have the same problem with my r720:
Warning ! iDRAC initialization 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.
Strike F1 to continue, F2 to run system setup program
-
If I hit F2, in BIOS option, under iDRAC Setting, I have: “SWC0700: iDRAC is not ready. The configuration values cannot be accessed.”
-
If I hit F1, the boot sequence continue and complain again about iDRAC “SWC0700: iDRAC is not ready. The configuration values cannot be accessed.”
but if I press F1, the real boot continue.
I came across
The Bios is something like 2.52 or 2.56
I am not exactly sure which iDrac version I had running.
If I have to guess, I would say something like 2.30.30.30…
I have downloaded all iDrac versions and have extracted firmimg.d7 from all of them, which are:
1.20.20
1.23.23
1.31.30
1.35.35
1.37.35
1.40.40
1.45.45
1.46.45
1.57.57
1.66.65
2.10.10.10
2.15.10.10
2.20.20.20
2.21.21.21
2.30.30.30
2.31.31.30
2.32.31.30
2.40.40.40
2.41.40.40
2.50.50.50
2.52.52.52
2.60.60.60
2.61.60.60
2.63.60.62
Which version should I use on the SD disc?
Thank you
Marco
Hi,
an update:
What caused this, might have been that one power supply was defect, when I tried to do a rebranding
I tried it the image from 2.63.60.62 after replacing the defect powersupply.
there was no LED flashing, that might be the reason why it did not try to boot from the SD card.
I left the server now powered down - and basically be thrown out … 
…
If anyone has an idea, please let me know.
Thanks
Marco
Hiya…
Can u share a picture with the Diagram for the RS232TTL ? i´ve got a R420 unit with the same issue, it has just arrived this week, got it off someone that was going to scrap this unit, so i am willing to give it a try.
Hi guys… so i have managed to connect the BCM_UART port and interrupt i can get idrac7 console now… so i have formated a SD card and copied the firmimage.d7 to the sd card in FAT mode .
after playing around with the cmds it gives me the following errors trying to load image from SD card.

UTIL PASS
iDRAC7=>
Any ideas? when i tried to copy the firmimage.d7 to the SD card is crashed the card and usb came back up again but showing the image inside but it allways gives me erros when uploading the firmware img i will try to get a new SD card for testing.
Ok few more testing with different command and i got the following result
iDRAC7=> util recover -emmc -from sd -f firmimg.d7 -noreset -clean

but still getting errors.
DUMP SPI iDRAC 8 DELL PowerEdge R530
Hi All,
I am here to join the party of unbricking my iDRAC. I have T330 Server that I tried to install frimware via the WebUI and it never came back. I am planning on just loading FreeNAS and just use it for NAS Storage. However now it wont boot without physically directing it to start OS and the FAN controls are now borked. So I decided to endeavor the adventure of reviving a dell iDRAC8.
So firstly if someone needs to do this to iDRAC8 (T330) and dont want to solder I have a solution. I made a 3D print that will hold the pins in the exact location you need. You can find and print from thingiverse here: T330 IDRAC8 UART Solderless Jumper Cable Clip by rtarson - Thingiverse
Any whose, so I am currently having a situation which from reading something is wrong with my eMMC storage on the board.
When i do mmcinfo 0 (which is presumably the on board chip that stores the frimware?) I have this message:
Card did not respond to voltage select!
Device: sh_mmcif
Manufacturer ID: 0
OEM: 0
Name: Tran Speed: 0
Rd Block Len: 0
MMC version 0.0
High Capacity: No
Capacity: 0
Bus Width: 1-bit
When I try to write the mmc from the SD I get this message here:
Card did not respond to voltage select!ill buffer…erase/write
sh_mmcif: Cmd(d’16) err
set write bl len failed, err =-84
util flash:
Failure writing blocks [1:196609] RC=0xffffffff
UTIL PASS
Now I did see in this form post that someone said you can get it so iDrac just runs off of the SD versus the eMMC and in order to do that you have a tftp server with the frimimg.d7 but have the util recover from the tftp to the sd card so from my knowledge you are building out the SD card with the formating and partion on the SD versus the emmc from my understanding?
My situation is when i do try to use tftp it looks like ethernet timing out? I have the ethernet plugged in on port 1 on the motherboard(not the dedicated idrac) which is showing link lights on port 1. But I get this message when doing dhcp command:
iDRAC8=> dhcp
reset PHY of sh_g_eth.0
sh_eth: phy reset timeout
sh_eth: phy config timeout
No for my printenv it does show an ipaddr I know this is just the default IP but maybe I have to change the ip address and set enviroment virable to ip subnet that its on? I would do it now but I am not with the server at the moment.
iDRAC8=> printenv
bootdelay=3
baudrate=115200
ipaddr=192.168.0.120
serverip=192.168.0.100
gatewayip=192.168.0.1
netmask=255.255.255.0
bootfile=“all.bin”
offset=8a000000
Any help here would be great as I am only trying to save a couple bucks and turn this into a storage server for a business but I want it to boot back when it gets power lost and not scream all day long lol.
