Post subject: | HDD brick thanks to DFLWD... |
To any kind soul that can help me repair the 4 HDD that is bricked... I am a total newbie in this software, but I tried to read the ROM of the DFL tool on 4 western digital hard disk and the device said "ROM read success", so when I tried to write the ROM that I have just read out from the tool, I was being prompt with "ROM deep test error" (or something like that) and something about the "ROM being of a different length , would you like to force write" and I just ignored the warning and proceed to write the ROM. Now whenever I plug the HDD into the DFL tool, the 2 lights that are flashing are "DRD" and "ERR", the HDD is not even spinning anymore, please help SOS... |

Q: why have you tried to read and write in the first place ? Q: what's the initial problem with the drive ? Q: do you have any other tool beside DFL ? (PC3K, external programmer) Q: can DFL access the PCB using terminal ? Q: would you mind upload the ROM here ? |

If drives are WD you can do a hotswap and rebuild ROM from SA. Look in DFL forum, there should be a manual how to do that. Do not try that on client drives but two known fully working ones for practice first. Do not ignore warnings in DR-tools, most time they are right and you can trash a drive with them fast (ie defect list erase, ...). Best regards, |

Did you read DLF WDII manual before you start bricking hard drives? What was problem with those WD's. |

The WD HDD did not have any problem at the start until I tried writing its original ROM back to it.

I really don't get it, if the drive didn't have any problem in the first place, why would you try to rewrite the ROM I really hope it doesn't belong to a client Regardless what is the 2 files (I.e. which one is the problematic) ? |

Both ROM are problematic just from different HDD. I was just trying to explore the different features of the software. |

I can't check your ROM now, but This ROM is the same ver. as your ROM_WDC WD5000LPCX-00VHAT0.bin.txt just transfer the adaptives the question is if you have access to drive to flash another ROM I.e. using TTL or external programmer. Regarding the other one - like I said - I can't check it now, and I wasn't able to find it either. |
