StratixIII DevKit Factory Recovery

Hello, I screwed up the flash in my StratixIII DevKit, and now I'd like to restore the factory design. According to the User Guide, I have to programm the standard PFL design and than use ...

Yes, I think so.

Firstly, when I try to download the PFL FPGA design that has been deployed with the DevKit's documentation, the following error message appears: 

Error: Can't configure device. Expected JTAG ID code 0x021020DD for device 1, but found JTAG ID code 0x121020DD.
I guess that this stems from the mismatch of devices. Maybe, the built-in USB Blaster in the MAXII device in the engineering sample versions and the mainstream versions of the DevKit is equipped with deviating JTAG IDs in order to point out the difference.

Secondly, I perform the whole process of restoring the factory design according to the StratixIII Development Kit User Guide. Everything during configuration works fine, but after a reset or power down / up the MAXII reports "error" by driving the corresponding red/orange ERROR LED on the board.

I think, the reason for this originates from the fact, that the factory design .sof-file stratixIII_3sl150_dev_factory.sof has been compiled for the EP3SL150F1152ES .
