ST2000DM001 - mega inportant case - Rewrite sys modules

[pikus_09]

Hi, long time no write post, but the time has come for a serious case.
Patient is Seagate ST2000DM001- 1ch164 FW CC24 upgraded to CC29 from Seagate site(ISO file)
by accident rewrite sysmodules from other FW from Oryginal backup CC24
Disk calibrated ok, no clicking noises, and at this moment nothing work
Terminal not access, and disk cant initialize SA.
I have oryginal backup From CC24(Modules, Sys modules, and ROM, RAM, and ROM IDs, LDR), everything comes from my disk(Oryginal SA before update to CC29)

I used legal sediv in latest version.
Attach logs

is chance gain access terminal, and format SA? and write back oryginal SA?
at this moment disk read from ROM, and only i write sys modules from oryginal SA backup(CC24)

btw, short read channel not work, isolate head stack also not work, trying load LDR by ata also nothing happend.
Remember! My disk is my and is not for resale, and is empty!

Restore the original ROM and you should be OK.

Can you provide a link to your update ISO?

[pikus_09]

Not is, trying write oryginal rom cc24 and disk also not init SA. I have this update on pendrive attach later.
In my case need to gain access terminal and format SA and write backup SA.

Remember! My disk is my and is not for resale, and is empty!

Is this considered to be "mega important case"?

[pikus_09]

No. This is only info that this my disk and not is for resale and I want only restore SA from backup. And I looking for any infos how do this when disk read only from rom.

Mega Important Case is not compatible with "fixing" a Seagate DM without any data for re-use.

You shouldn't be using that DM thing to start with. Just put it in the garbage bin and replace it with one HGST and be glad that it's damaged prior for placing data there !!!

What do you mean by that? On your own wish kill SA in my disk by misstake and i want this restore, and no one can help me? Right?

[scratchy]

It’s fixable as long as you have original sa. Or if copy 1 is untouched. You took a backup of the sa, right?

[pikus_09]

Hi, Yes i have all copys SA from my disk(Modules, sys modules ROM, DRV table, ROM Ids from firmware CC24), and this Firmware i want write. This is oryginal copy Sa from my disk before update to CC29. Not have copys Sa after update to CC29, only ROM.

[pikus_09]

COM also can but in my case terminal not access. via Ata trying load LDR but only active flag BSY, and nothing happens, can wait ok 30 mins and still BSY, and active RDY and DSC flags.

[fzabkar]

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?

[fzabkar]

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?

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.

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.

Did you try to write original ROM by terminal boot code mode ?

Yes, change only version FW, but still not load FW, and terminal not respond.

Is this of any help?

btw, and Yes my disk have 5head 3 paltters, this is ST2000DM001-1CH164 SN W2412WHK.

Exellent. But what next? Extract module and I can't load this module. Ehh

[pikus_09]

Zero suggestions? Case no solved

[pikus_09]

well, buy then anyone can write, worse if someone does not want to help.

[pikus_09]

Alex, this this not work, this new feature works when work terminal, in my case terminal not respond. I need load module 3D, and perform virtual start, like MRT tutorial, but sediv not have this feature.
