Yes I have your entire folder. I disabled Secureboot, Booted into Hiren's BootPE and your 1.5.42 Fenvi package manages to get 4 parts ID with -i argument added to flashUpdate2.exe but kickstart2.exe doesn't do anything. It hangs with connected dialog. 
It just hangs at the dos window and after 15 mins, I closed it as nothing seems to be happening. 

your best bet would be to get another card dump its spi with a ch341 and clamp and return it then
its a bit hard to know what to do from here you can keep at it
but yeah windows 11 isnt good for programming

try force insnstalling the debug driver
you have to enable unsigned drivers on boot to install it

its in the other folder i think depending on the package you downloaded of mine

I think the one from here is a bit old my latest zip has the nicgiga spi dump also

i have just uploaded it maybe it can help

i always do it on windows 10 with secure boot off
failing that hirens

I bricked the onboard Aquantia/Marvell AQC113C 10GbE NIC on my Gigabyte Z790 AORUS Master months ago during a firmware flash, and I’m finally able to post here after not being able to register earlier.

The device is still detected by flashUpdate2.exe and by a CH341A SPI programmer, but the firmware appears corrupted or erased (Register 0x00003048: 0xffffffff).


At this point I’ve basically tried everything I could think of:

--recover, --flash, --erase, etc.
read through multiple GitHub and forum posts
tried flashing with unsigned drivers installed
attempted to convert the .clx to .bin
tried various CH341A recovery methods

No matter what I do, the flash tool gets stuck at:
0x00003048: 0xffffffff

When I convert the .clx to .bin, the resulting file is also a few KB larger than the SPI flash size, which makes me think the .clx contains headers, signatures, or extra metadata.

At this point I’m pretty sure the NIC might actually be dead, but I’m hoping someone here might have some insight into fixing this

Detected IDs:
0x1D6A:0x14C0:0x1458:0xE000

Has anyone successfully recovered an AQC113C from a corrupted flash or manually flashed one with a CH341A?

Logs of some flashing etc
