About the firmware application of ConnectX-4 lx

I purchased because ConnectX-4 lx (MCX 4131A-GCAT) was cheap on eBay, but the Firmware seems to be broken, and DevID / VenID was PCI \ VEN_15B3 & DEV_020B.

This seems to mean Flash Recovery.

I tried to deal with the following site referring to it, but it does not work well.

No checks will be performed. Burn process will not be failsafe.

If this process fails, computer may remain in an inoperable state.

Do you want to continue? (Y / n) [n]: y

-E- Burning FS3 image failed: Can not extract device data sections: invalid ITOC section. Please ignore device data sections.

Is there any way to handle it?
