WD thru the brush- what does this mean?

June 12th, 2014, 9:50

Have anybody been to the site wddisk.com?

It shows a technique referring it as "repairing WD HDD thru the brush.

After lot of search i find a reference of the word in http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=5590 ... 58_8935934

where it refers thru the brush means thru the USB toTTL adoptor.

Am i correct???????

So i'm assuming that one would load that universal firmware to the drive, acording to it's model and family, and then one would run ARCO and SS using that "new" firmware, correct ?

Hello,
Madoka
yes you are right,

but maximum universal firmware that you download from any website are self made, not original.
so you need to make some changes in it according to your hard disk. like self scan test id sequence, ARCO DCM parameters.

Greetings.
Upload it to the drive replacing the correspondent modules, edit the self scan script, then run ARCO and Self Scan.

After long understanding - of simplified Chinese

I understand that :-

i) enter in safe mode of XP pressing F5.
ii) invoke wdr 5.3
iii) use the directory where thru the brush modules are
iv) load module 01
v) load module 02

you are done with.

I have not tries any HDD. but many are using "THRU THE BRUSH", i want complete guidance from them in my favourite WEBSITE hddguru.com

thanx
