Hi!
Maybe someone can help me.
I have these HDD ST6000NM0024-1HT17Z, with the following FW versions: SN02, SN05, SN06
FW SN05 can be unlocked and I can access the terminal and modules.
FW SN02 can be partially unlocked - I can access the modules, but I can't access the terminal (it responds to commands DiagError 00000001)
FW SN06 can't be unlocked
Can someone help? Thanks in advance.
Does anyone have a factory update MakaraEntCapSATA-STD-512E-SN05.LOD?

dunno what the problem is with any of the firmwares, i am pretty sure i could unlock any of them.
btw, what is the issue with the drive in the first place?

Thanks for your response. I'll upload two firmware versions: the original and the unlocked ones that don't work properly.
Overall, the hdd work well, but they have a small number of bad sectors, which cause the system to constantly complain.

I found a way to access the terminal on the firmware SN02. Your discussion in one of the threads inspired me to come up with this solution. However, the firmware SN06 issue remains: I can't access the modules or the terminal. If you haven't changed your mind, I'd appreciate your answer.

Hello,
it would be extremely demanding to check why exactly your rom fails. I have my own ways to unlock these, which i can modify if not working properly.
you'd be better off with selling the drive for parts if data is not important...
