No CFI table found at address on Stratix IV GX development kit

Development kit: Stratix IV GX FPGA Development Kit (RoHS), 530 Edition f

FPGA: EP4SGX530KH40C4

Quartus version: 11.1 SP2

OS: Debian

I accidentally rewrote flash memory of Stratix 4 GX development kit and trying to restore it to default board update portal, according to User Guide.

I changed all dip switches to factory one.

I uploaded SOF image s4gx530_fpga_bup.sof, using both programmer GUI from quartus and programmer CLI (using command nios2-configure-sof).

When I'm trying to reprogram flash memory with command (bash ./restore.sh) and writing "r", I'm receiving following error:

nios2-flash-programmer -b 0x08000000 restore_s4gx530_fpga_bup.flash

Using cable "USB-Blaster [1-2]", device 1, instance 0x00

Resetting and pausing target processor: OK

No CFI table found at address 0x08000000

Leaving target processor paused

Note: the board FPGA should be configured as described

in the User's Guide, chapter entitled:

"Restoring the Flash Device with the Factory Settings"

Done.

I tried using different version of quartus 2 (11.1 sp2, 11.1), quartus prime (15.1, 16.1) and programmer, but nothing really changes this error.

Can you help me out with pointing what should I be looking for?
