Hi to all! I have a (xbox) locked Seagate ST310014ACE. I have seen that there is in downloads a firmware backup of ST320014A. I would know if is possible to flash my drive with this backup. I ask you this because I have seen this page http://www.seagate.com/cda/products/dis ... 57,00.html ,
and the drives are identical, moreover i have flashed successful a (xbox) locked ST310211a with a firmware of U Series 5.
If the flash is possibile i would know how make the flash and the eventual backup of my drive.
Excuse me for my english and thanks to all!

hello, ive got the same drive - it´s locked too.

is it possible to flash the drive & remove the lock ?!

If you want, you can unlock your drive for a small fee (about $45)
with repair station - http://a-ff.com/products/rrs/

thx for the reply

i know this from xbox-scene.com

but i dont want to pay 45 $ / unlock couse ive got 4 locked drives here.

that would be to expensive for me, because i go to shool an earn no

money.

there is a unlock software für seagate hdds that cost 450 $

but that is tooo expensive for me.

my only question is : how can i flash the firmware ?

has someone a link to a seagate flash tool ?

big thx btw, great forum here, very interesting stuff

Hello,

Excuse me for saying this, but it makes me a bit upset when somebody (even a student) doesn't want to pay the price of getting something.
If U check the page mentioned by zed_drive, U find that U can unlock 3 drives for ~$90. that's only $30/drive.
How about selling them as defective drives and buying a working one?
If a student wants to get a legal copy of a software (I can hardly imagine that) he can probably get it on a discounted price but not for zero.zero bucks ...
please shoot me !

What a coincedence. I just registered here to ask this question.

All I need is the firmware for this drive. Based on previous information, I know I need:



UX denotes the drive family, 309 denotes firmware version [3.09]. Once I have these files, I'll be writing a full tutorial on unlocking this drive.

Sooooo, who knows where I can find them?

Thanks.
