even thought mdl 190 is damaged you will still get full ID

You need to carefully repair and restore the translator.
Regenerating is almost never an option in modern SMR drives.

people should not write anything to SA of these drives, you practically kill any chance for someone with proper knowledge recover the thing.
PC3k has a bug with reading 190 too, so if you write that back you (and anyone after that point) are busted .
you need to understand how these work, which is not a simple task i admit.

You should start your own thread instead of digging up an old one as you have a completely different problem.
