Hi,
I'm trying to recover data from my SSD (specifications below), which appears to have entered ROM Mode.
Based on my own diagnostics, I was able to obtain the following information about the drive:
Manufacturer / Model: Apacer Panther SSD 256 GB
Interface: SATA
Connection during diagnostics: Direct SATA connection (not USB)
Current state: The drive boots into ROM Mode, and the data is not normally accessible.
Controller: Silicon Motion SM2258XT
EasyTools detects: IC Controller: SM2258XT (ATA)
NAND Flash
Manufacturer: Samsung
Type: Samsung 3DV4 64L TLC
Family: SSV4 TLC
Flash ID: EC 1E D9 3F 88 CB
SMI Flash:
- Code:
v0.5681a
Drive: 2(ATA)
OS: 10.0 build 19045
Model: SM2258AB-10-00M01000
Fw : 20141211
Size : 0 MB [0.0 GB]
Controller : SM2258AA in ROM Mode
Bank00: 0xec,0x1e,0xd9,0x3f,0x88,0xcb,0x0,0x0 - Samsung 3dv4-64L TLC 16k 512Gb/CE 256Gb/die
Bank01: 0xec,0x1e,0xd9,0x3f,0x88,0xcb,0x0,0x0 - Samsung 3dv4-64L TLC 16k 512Gb/CE 256Gb/die
Bank02: 0xec,0x1e,0xd9,0x3f,0x88,0xcb,0x0,0x0 - Samsung 3dv4-64L TLC 16k 512Gb/CE 256Gb/die
Bank03: 0xec,0x1e,0xd9,0x3f,0x88,0xcb,0x0,0x0 - Samsung 3dv4-64L TLC 16k 512Gb/CE 256Gb/die
I tried using EasyTools_2258XT_S0307A_V2.2.0_RecoveryMode_3D, but I got stuck.
In EasyTools, I select MP ISP and load the MPISP file from the package.
It loads successfully, and I get the following information:
- Code:
PHYSICALDRIVE2
IC Controller: SM2258XT (ATA) ASPI:444
MPISP Code Mode
Internel FW revision: (null)
Serial Number: "™0©_ ?Č|Oö\Ë5DCft©Ć
Model Name: SM2256AB-XX-YYYYYYYY
Firmware Rev: 20141211
Capacity: 15280 MB
Flash Vendor: Unknown
Next, I click Data Recovery and then BackUp_Dump Image, but I receive the error:
"Invalid Parameter Info (Tag)"
I also tried the files from the package SM2258XT_SSV4-TLC_PKGS0716A_FWS0712B0, but the result is exactly the same.
Is there anything else I can try on my own?
Recovering at least some of the data is much more important to me than saving the SSD itself.
