Hello guys. This is my first question on this wonderful forum, where i come to learn a lot for little more than a year now.
I really want, first of all, put in words my thanks for every single answer anyone here donates a time to give. I'm trying to improve myself to do the same later.
Got my hands on a MRT PRO only two months ago and i'm deeply trying to study everything i can about hdd firmwares.
So.. talking about learning and improve myself, my friend gave to me this WD10TMVW-11ZSMS5 just for study purposes (data isn't important). Running it on WDC Marvel USB tool on MRT it ID's perfectly, and gives the next issue:

Technology mode key : ..........................: OK

RAM:
Read HDD Info : ................................: OK
Heads number : .................................: 6
Head map : .....................................: 3F
SA Cyl Count : .................................: 256
Serials Mark : .................................: 0xFE16
Control version : ..............................: 7412

Zone allocation table : ........................: OK
SA SPT : .......................................: 1372

ROM:
Read Rom Infos : ...............................: OK
ROM Data Size : ................................: 256 Kb
ROM version : ..................................: 65.06J
ROM generation : ...............................: 65.06J
Link table version : ...........................: 05.0L
ROM Firmware version : .........................: 00650006

ROM Modules:
Flash ROM dir reading : ........................: Err
Read 0A module : ...............................: Err

SA Module Dir Loading...
Load SA Module dir : ...........................: Error, suggest to load from the file
Configuration reading : ........................: Err

Trying to do a heads test, i had this print:

Head Test...
Head: 0 Write data : ..........................: OK
Head: 0 Read data : ...........................: ERR
Head: 1 Write data : ..........................: OK
Head: 1 Read data : ...........................: ERR
Head: 2 Write data : ..........................: OK
Head: 2 Read data : ...........................: ERR
Head: 3 Write data : ..........................: OK
Head: 3 Read data : ...........................: ERR
Head: 4 Write data : ..........................: OK
Head: 4 Read data : ...........................: ERR
Head: 5 Write data : ..........................: OK
Head: 5 Read data : ...........................: ERR

And i'm a little stuck... guess I have to find a LDR file to upload to this ROM, but i'm not sure. If anyone here could help me, it would be really appreciated.

First I would convert it to a SATA PCB.

After, block SA access, load a loader, and check for functionality of all heads.
Probably one or more heads are dead.

I think that to work with that HDD you should first convert it to SATA, in order to work better with the MRTLAB.
To do this you must get a SATA PCB compatible with the USB PCB you have and pass the ROM to the new PCB.
Personally, I have never taken an HDD directly connected by USB with the MRTLAB.
