You need special equipment to do the work, plus there is no guarantee that you only have firmware problem.

I would suggest to take it to a pro.

Fw means rom code AND the part recorded on the platters. But there is nothing that Samsung can do for recovering user data... During years I built a giant database of firmware but totally useless without something for working with the drive...
