Hi,

I have WD Palmer 2.5", HDD is no issue at all working as normal. I ma just need to save the SA < I need some module on it.
But during unlock I failed to proceed.

1. Copy ROM IC using programmer.
2. Upload the file, and unlock, fail :

Creating unlocked ROM...
Family : .......................................: Palmer
Data source of original ROM file : .............: from file
Path of original ROM file: F:\ROM ORIGINAL WD10SPZX WX41AA926JVS\MX25U8032E@SOP8.BIN
Wrong size of ROM file!
Create unlocked ROM : ..........................: Failed
Technology mode key : ..........................: OK

Any body knows what is the problem?

Thank you

1025KiB is too big. It should be 1024KiB. This IC has an additional 4Kbit OTP area for serial number and special data.

Upload your ROM dump so we can see what is happening.
