6i25 Error: BootSector is invalid

I inserted a new 6i25 and mesaflash gave me this:
Code:
$ sudo mesaflash --device 5i25 --readhmid ERROR: no HOSTMOT2 firmware found. FFFFFFFF Configuration Name: General configuration information:   BoardName :   FPGA Size: 0 KGates   FPGA Pins: 0   Number of IO Ports: 0   Width of one I/O port: 0   Clock Low frequency: 0.0000 MHz   Clock High frequency: 0.0000 MHz   IDROM Type: 0   Instance Stride 0: 0   Instance Stride 1: 0   Register Stride 0: 0   Register Stride 1: 0 Modules in configuration: Configuration pin-out:

That was the first point that confused me because I bought the 6i25 in a bundle together with a 7i85s and everyone says that a firmware should be installed.

Trying to flash gives me this:
Code:
 sudo mesaflash --device 5i25 --fallback --write 5i25_7i85sx2.bit Checking file... OK   File type: BIT file Error: BootSector is invalid

Then I tried this
Code:
$ sudo mesaflash --device 5i25 --fix-boot-block --write 5i25_7i85sx2.bit Checking file... OK   File type: BIT file Erasing sector 0 for boot block
but nothing happens after this.
I also tried with
Code:
$ sudo mesaflash --device 5i25 --fix-boot-block --fallback --write 5i25_fallback.bit
.. the same result

The LEDs on the card are always off.
Any idea what could be wrong?

I bought the Mesa cards two years ago, so I thought that would fit to my not brand new mesaflash version
But sure I'll try.
