HDD WD 320GB Click Screwed up Firmware MS DOS HDDHACKR

August 26th, 2013, 16:29

Well, at first you may notice I'm new at this site, I've bought a while ago an XBOX 360 Slim "Generic" HDD, when I connected it to the XBOX 360 I could only see 120GB, but when I manually opened the HDD enclosure I founded out I had an "WD3200BEVT-08A23 with firmware: 02.01A02". As I wanted to have the 320GB I've got from internet a similar name firmware .bin file to recover at MS-DOS with HDDHACKR(bad idea, never knew that it had to be specific model). After that I turned on the PC and the HDD was kind of clicking and at BIOS or HDDHACKR instead of showing model it shows a blank space. So I tried to put a firmware but it won't let me do anything, I got my screwdriver and took the logic board, and this is my board/ HDD.

My EEPROM is in the following order (3 lines): Winbond
25X20BLNIG
1121 --> Does this matter?

Should I replace by buying this one http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/61063 ... BLNIG.html ? Please let me know if it will work, btw I have a rework station to replace it.
Or should I reprogramm it? (If that's the case, how?) I think this is the datasheet http://www.dz863.com/datasheet-83027375 ... l-I-o-Spi/
In a few words how can I get my HDD working back?

Thanks in advance for all your help!

As you are obviously now aware, you should not have used a foreign UNDO.BIN file.

It's too late now, but you should have done this:

What needs to be done now is to replace your incompatible copies of firmware MOD 02 and MOD 0D with compatible versions. Unfortunately the software tools cost more than the value of your drive.

BTW, did HDDHackr create any backup files during the undo procedure?

By replacing the Winbond IC won't the problem be solved? Please tell me more about those software tools you talk about, does it also requiere specific hardware to run that/ those software/s? Thanks!

Sorry, I should have added that the tools are purely software tools. No hardware involved.
