Samung HM250JI - not detected after PCB swap

[yan1982]

Ok Janos, thank you but I'm a problem. The patient original Marvell Chip is probably burnt. I see it with my eyes.
So, if I can't use the original Marvell chip, all the datas are lost, not ?
Samsung Marvell chip is the same as Hitachi NVRAM with unique informations for each HDD. Is it exactly ?

If the original Marvell Chip is burnt nobody can help you. Forget about this HDD.

This is not true, i can help, if the hdd comes in to my lab....

Agreed.

Perfectly possible to recover, but not DIY.

Once for all :

Yan, the marking on the chip have nothing to do with code.
I can put the code I want on the chip as I usually do.

[yan1982]

Yes, I understand but how to find the code of the original patient rom.
The patient rom is burnt.

Taking a stab at it but I suspect you have to rebuild it manually with the right tools. It's not something you can just download.

[BlackST]

Can't be rebuilt and there are no COMMERCIAL tools yet. Need something else more.

we can make it with non-original PCB work or do with some way for access data area. the special way is use Samsung factory software for re-write FW(with this way you will take around 1 Min for make it work with Non-original PCB)

Wrong, because in their case heads were changed and there's something else. If you do so, writing - if you don't get an error immediately- you'll fuck the drive for sure. They can't access the 'sa' right now and rom is k.o. And you don't know config and sub-variants so you can't write a generic code . So your idea won't work. My only problem is that I can't handle their case and they are not here...

[N.C.]

all words in one: This case is recoverable in any decent lab.

sorry. i mentioned operation with chage PCB only. may be your opinion is right. i have been done with HM160HI similar case. of course their no the same condition. as your mention if writing is done. drive is over? i think may be no. there should be have others ways for access please correct if i am wrong.

Hello.

News informations about this case.
The terminal log is not exactly the same this one.
On the patient hdd, there are the new hsa donor and new pcb donor.

What do you think about it ?

It seems that the hdd search his SA zone, not ?
I let run the hdd a few minutes and the "SK C: xxxxxx" change.

Do you think that in a few minute, the hdd will find the zone and initialize ?

Thank you in advance for your answer.
