How to load CERT ,OVERLAY ...Firmware on to Seagate HDD

[likeminders]

Hi,

This website is awesome with lots of info on HDDs ...

I have been doing recovery without any great tools like PC3000 or salvation or atola.

Seagate Terminal cable is wonderful tool , does anybody know how to load firmware on to the Seagate hardisk using

Serial cable.

The diagram is in the files.hddguru.com site.

Thanks,

But as usual better don't do home recovery and send the drive to pro
Because FW,CERT,AppCode,OVL loading is easies operations with pc3k

All Thanks again for the tremondous reposnses...

If you have any doc related to harddisk firmwares and the way they boot ( I mean at the firmware level).

Any Seagate specific doc, share it.

Share ?!? And what do you trade in ?

@BlackST,

Then what is the meaning of open forums... any idea ...leave it if you dont know.

All,

As I dont have any pc3000 any hardware tools, the 500GB fix posted on this website inspired me
If anyone have any doc,text related they can share it.

I know exactly how to, with or without tools. The problem is elsewhere .

Download STMEM it has the ability to read/write seagate firmware but you need to study it well , you can get help from russian forums regarding STMEM .

hmm you don't really need to be a brain surgeon to be able to write this SW for yourself

Sometimes I think its better for most people to learn programming and then do it yourself!

and the diff between old style and F3 style drives is very minimal with regard to read/write surface via COM
