Help with terminal access on ST500DM002

[Don Oleg]

Hi friends.

I am having troubles with 2 seagate ST500DM002 Hdds. Same problem. Can not access to terminal prompt. Without shorting read channel test points no access. Shorting test points i got the following:

Boot 0x10M
Spin Up
RECOV Servo Op=0100 Resp=0005[0x00000000][0x0000BD77][0x0000BDA4][0x0000C138]
Trans.

Rst 0x10M
MC Internal LPC Process
Spin Up

(Here, after second spin up message i short read channel points and got the following messages:).

(DOS) Table Read FAIL
DOS: MAGIC CONFIG NUMBER MISMATCH
(DOS) Requesting File Save

After (DOS) FWR Done message release the short connection and then ctrl+z but nothing happens. What i´m doing wrong?

Any body knows? Well, problem solved. My two PL2303HXD USB to RS232 TTL Cables were damaged. Tx pin of PL2303HX ship is shorted, so can not send data to hdd, that´s why ctrl+z command was no received by hdd.

Thanks to all whos readed my post.

Friend this hdd has latest firmware u need to short the pcb after second spinup msg appear in cmd after complete calibration of hdd then after ready status or any error or getting t mode u need to follow 0 capacity method
m0,2,2,,,,,22
/1
N1
then power reset
then use these three commands
F3T> F00A2,00,22
then F01E4,00,22
then F057C,043C,22
then /1
then N1
then power reset
this is correct method

if hdd is giving access to sector already and showing capacity then use only congen commands to stop relocations of bad sectors.
F00A2,00,22
F01E4,00,22
F057C,043C,22
