How did it got locked to start with ?


It seems you don't know pc3k well .
It does support Hitachi ...ALA drives , but it has no good solution yet to unlock new ARM drives.

Please people need you to give me something to start testing ....

* PC3000 (I'm not very familiar with this team - I proved someone at some similar model???)
* MHDD (with some special script for HITACHI???)
* Victoria (without success - listen to ideas)
* ZU (without success - listen to ideas)

Pay for the service. Simple.
Forget scripts and free stuff on ARM.

P.S. don't PM me asking for info !

Because of password storing peculiarity on these drives, free stuff & standard method can't be implemented. but it's possible on ARM drives with required Resource, tools & know how.

Of course it is possible, but at least for me it is not a thing to release for free. Guess why...

If there is something I do not use , have (yet) and want at present are such cars. Maybe one day it will be an acquired taste...

P.S. if I have to choose it would be a Lamborghini not a Ferrari !
