WD20EZAZ-00GGJB0-80.00A80-WD-WXK1A99820TD-000200AP

Firmware backup link

This hdd comes with failed attempt by someone with some modification in modules.

Now the HDD gets ready and shows correct data with T2 Editor in MRT. (Without T2 Upload all are zeros)

Its reading speed is 3.94 KB/S.

head test ok in both MRT and WD Marvel. Can Rewrite all modules in both copies without any Error.


Is there anyway to read at some reasonable speed?

Module 190 in your SA dump is corrupt. I don't know if this is a bug in your tool(s).

Hi,
he has already said that he has to parse 190 and then extract corrected mod 190 entries called t2 and upload to hdd using mrt utility then it gives data .

Did you look at the module? I mean, with a hex editor? For a start, the module has no ROYL header (the header is at offset 0x12A00), and the body of the module contains several other ROYL modules.

In short, there is nothing for MRT's utility to extract except garbage.

I don't know what MRT did, but look at the module for yourself. It's full of garbage.

Was the SA dump taken prior to MRT's edits? What is the current status of module 0x190? Has it been fixed?

The first backup of module 0x190 is also full of garbage. The header is OK, but there are 77 other instances of the "ROYL" text string starting at offset 0x153F400.

According to Ace's blog, your only solution is to image the drive in PBA mode and then try for a raw recovery:

This makes me wonder what kind of image you are producing now. :-?
