I have this drive had sabotaged with a DR guy.
Rom chip has no data in it. All FF FF FF FF (00 00 00 000)
And want huge prices to give customers data.
Drive sounds good with a random roms.

I need advices for this headache case.
I want closest date ROM files to try ( dont know whether open a way front me)
Also, remote connection available if anyone can solve this case with charge . I have MRT,

You're wasting your time.
The ROM in these drives is unique you can't just write a similar ROM and expect it to work.

@pepe might be able to regenerate these, but he can tell you more.
If not, it's game over. You can advise your client to sue whoever sabotaged the patient drive.

As Northwind suggests try pepe. There was talk I think of being able to piece together parts from other ROM's if the original is not a complete loss, at least to get some data, check scott's google group - above my pay grade and certainly not profitable.

Are you 100% sure the rom is totally blank and the other DR is responsible, it cases like this its best to get a second opinion anyway, just to confirm your suspicions especially if there potential for legal action.

Yes
I have checked ROM chip when customer near me. I said this is empty. He said "fuck. ists as my guess"
ROM data not 00 00 . its FF FF FF.
PCB has 2 8 pin chip. I have checked both. ( guessed could be mixed before) .
All I can do is try different donor roms. but i couldn't take a step forward

the chances of any donor rom working with your patient is a lot less than 2.446*10^-297. (just taking into account the most trivial parameters in SAP, not including RAP, which would make this number smaller by several thousand orders of magniturde).
you have 'infinitely' more more chance to break AES256 for example.
