I have a ST31000524AS with similar issues. It gives a few soft clicks on startup along with some other normal noises then stays spinning. Initially it would not identify at all, but the terminal output showed nothing unusual. Ctrl z would get to F3 T> without any shorting required.
After reading through this thread, I checked the non resident G list using the V40 command and it returned there was no entries present. So I regenerated the translator using m0,2,2,,,,,22, then cleared smart.
The drive will now identify itself and show the correct number of sectors, but otherwise stays bsy. Also I then connected it back to terminal, and checked V40 again, and there was about 20 entries. Not sure how that could have happened but I am 100% sure it said there were no entries before the translator regen.
Is there anything else that can be tried from here?

The data isn't critical, but it would be nice to recover it.
