What is the solution?

We made a special addition to ROM which is able to catch the control and unlock techno mode at moment of running microcode from surface.

Unlocking is performed in two stages with a simple press of button

Stage 1. Preparation of the drive: ROM patch

Stage 2. Unlocking the drive: sending a special session key

2016-04-22_15-54-31 (3) (2)

First button (“Tech mode unlocking preparation, Grenada”) save the ROM via boot code , modify it and write modified image back to HDD. Second button (“Unclock Tech, drive prepared by utility”) send a special command to unlock techno mode. After that terminal commands become working:
