ST4000LM024-2AN17V unlock problem

February 28th, 2020, 6:35

Hi There!
I have a strange problem with my donor drive.
I can unlock the ROM with Mrt Pro (i unlocked it with Kahuna utility). After i unlock the ROM and boot up, i can send hand shake, can read all resources, but when i try read sector 0, i get random characters. With original ROM, can read valid sector.
I attached sector 0 here, read out with the unlocked, and locked ROM, and also the two ROM files (original, and unlocked)
