I did a resistance head test: H0: 0175, H1: 012D.
NRG list is empty.

I tried to backup system files to repair the translator but during copying the translator the process stops.
The rest ie P-list, NRG, HDDID are downloaded corectly.

Can I perform a translator recovery/regeneration in this situation?

Head 0 resistance is bit low, may be it work.
was there any entries in NRGlist ? V40 ?
If you have backup NRGlist, than it is safe to regenerate translator
