| Post subject: | Need Help Recovering WD Green SSD – SanDisk 00672 Controller |
Hi everyone, I'm trying to recover a bricked WD Green 240GB SSD (model WDS240G360A-00BJG0). It stopped being detected by BIOS and operating systems. After researching, I found shorting two test points on the PCB brings it into what seems to be a factory/service mode. After doing the short, the SSD is now detected over USB as: Device Name: WD k Milpi External usb device VID: 1058 PID: 0704 Firmware: 1.05 Using ChipGenius, it shows: Controller: SanDisk 00672 256G Device Type: Mass Storage Protocol Version: USB 2.0 Current Speed: High Speed At this point, I believe the device is in recovery or bootloader mode and is waiting for a firmware flash. However, I can't find any public version of SanDisk MPTool or other internal WD tools that can communicate with the device. Does anyone have a working copy of SanDisk MPTool compatible with this controller or a way to flash firmware onto a "milpi" mode WD SSD? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I’m happy to test or provide more info if needed. Thanks in advance! —Walter Pomares - |

https://community.frame.work/t/western- ... oard/20616 but since it doesn't detect it will be useless. But you can try it. |

Firmware should be 42077100 I think. But better check it. |
