Samsung HD103UJ - firmware needs 1AA01118 (2009/06),
or needs a tool to read and than write the firmware from/in flash-ROM over Sata-Port

My drive data:
Model: HD103UJ (Samsung)
P/N: 61681A461A11LH (2009/06)
firmware (original): 1AA01118 (before my problem!)
S/N: S13PJ1KS60.......
PCB-Controller: Trinity 32 MB Rev 5 BF41 00206B R00

Does not now finish me please!
My Problem briefly - it is the wrong firmware into the PCB (Trinity 32MB Rev.5 - BF41 00206B R00) the to newer ones HD103UJ!
The original firmware was 1AA01118 and by a mistake on me is now into the PCB the firmware 1AA01117.
And, i don't have the pc3000 from acelabs or salvation data!

Background for this mistakes and i did not know this before.

The HD103UJ isn't the same one HD103UJ ! What?
Yes, and It is known to them absolutely the HD103UJ before about 2009-04 having a firm original about 1AA01113 and can be updated with the unofficial DELL firmware on 1AA01117 (CD-.iso). But the model afterwards had the firmware 1AA011118. Rearrangement of the production!

Now i have 3 HD103UJ in my system, 2 (old) with 1AA01113 and one (newer) with 1AA01118. I did not know this before and I did the update with good conscience and than makes "Bang".
The newer HD103UJ connected not more with SATA-Controller. Because old firmware 1AA01117 are inside, I built this PCB on the older HD's and this combination wonderfully goes. The newer PCB is O.K.. Only the wrong firmware. And I could do in this constellation also the normal firmware update to 1AA01118, and than again the PCB back mount. But I do not have this firmware and still had no success on the Internet what to find. I am no layman, a little expert!
In few days I can get from a friend a HD103UJ (newer) with this firmware 1AA01118, similar P/N number 61681A461A... and from the same PCB select in a file. I do not point, however, i like. The firmware read and write into my hardware. Then I save first of all my data by rebuilding PCB of the newer HD103UJ. This is possible.
The most ideal would be to have .iso or DOS .exe file with 1AA01118 and to do another right update. This would be a perfect tense.
Or under Linux.
Or can somebody help me and do this update back on 1AA01118 in the PCB? Perhaps the PCB Flash-ROM read (my friend's HD103UJ and than write the firmware-data into my "corrupt" PCB.

Please, give me a solution!
