I want to recreate ROM for this model. I have tried random loader ( WD5000AAKX only) , disk gets partial detection 250 GB instead of 500 GB I could even read some system files as well .I think with correct loader I might get more success. Can someone pls. give me correct loader

ISTM that you would have better luck using a donor PCB with better matched adaptives. Which modules were you able to read? Did you try reading all copies? You only need modules 0x102 to 0x109, and you can get some of those from your donor or other resources. |

Yes you are right donor pcb is the best option,Actually I have donor pcb's but my hot air gun is having some issues and I willl have to buy new one.So I am just trying if I could rebuild rom since utility supports this function. I will try to match better loader else will swap rom itself. |

There are two more options, you can simple-hotswap it and see version exactly, or if you're lucky, some of the modules you've read could contain the fw version. If you can upload what you could read, I can check. |

The Tahoe XL family has a copy of ROM in 109 and 130 modules. Any ROM with a loader from Tahoe XL can access these modules. |
