This method will not work with the OP drive.
The OP drive is FBLITE which requires special technique to generate working ROM.

Yep, you're right. 771960 belongs to FbLite family.
I've missed that!

This is the right video for this family drive rom recovery (in the video example from acelab, they're working on HubbleLT family):

Acelab uses special plugin to find factory settings on surface to generate 4F mod, and it takes long time.
I think that plugin is based on some type of ARCO test.
