Let me see if I understand what happened.
1/ You successfully applied Seagate's official CC29 firmware update.
2/ Then you wrote back your own drive's original CC24 sys files to the SA.
3/ Now your drive has its original CC24 SA and a new CC29 ROM.
If this is correct, then why can't you simply restore the CC24 ROM?
ad1. Yes, exacly
ad2. Yes, exacly
ad3. Yes, Drive have orriginal Sys modules from Firmware CC24, but have modules from CC29 firmware.
Write oryginal ROM from CC24 FW, not change situation, because still disk can't read SA, and log terminal nothing change, still is the same.

I've extracted 13 component parts from GBP2TBCC29.LOD. I can't immediately identify parts 3, 5 and 10, but the others are ROM segments/containers, SA overlays, and SA module 0x3D.

That said, I see that your drive's serial number is W24xxxxx, which suggests that it has 5 heads rather than 4. This in turn would suggest that Seagate's updater would have selected the GBP3TBCC29.LOD package (for drives with 3 platters).
Could you upload the CC24 and CC29 ROMs?
Thanks for your extraction, and Yes, disk have 3 platters and 5 heads. All heads working fine, and not clicking, strange noises.
Sure i can upload ROM CC24, and ROM CC29 from the same disk, i can upload full backup SA from CC24 if need.
