Samsung SATA drive healthy - write back its saved modules

I did an (hopefully) little mistake during an hotswap procedure.

And now, the donor behaves exactly as the patient.

So now I have the donor' modules saved in its modules directory and I need to write them back to get it operational again and start the procedure over, from the scratch.

As usual, the drive spins up and when it does begin the recalibration, it spins down.

Do you have any kind hint on how to fix this?

Thank you

Cor

Yep, use another good drive for hotswap and fix the donor.

Or else change regions in ROM to avoid it from spin down and check if you can write tracks.

thank you Marques for the hint

I had no more donors, so I had to choose for the alternative solution.

I've done the fflash in dbg mode and it worked.

The donor has been restored.
