after After replacing the board WD3200AAKS-75L9A0,flashed with wrong fw version(from tornado 2d).
How do I restore the original firmware (192kb) which I have (pinaclelite),with WDR, or some tips with jumpers...

I have version 3.0. Wrong firmware (flashed)=WD3200AAKS-00VYA0_12.01B02 (587S.bin), need to reflash with WD3200AAKS-75L9A0 (01CS.bin),The first thing I want to know,can I rewrite the firmware with a setting Jumer or through the serial port, there are probably serial pins as Samsung or Seagate,
Thanks

Have u tried reflashing with wdr + WD3200AAKS-75L9A0. wdr needs no jumper or serial port like sasung or seagate.

yes, and interesting, always is the same: "Erase Flash - FFFF=NOT_AN_ERR_VSC_CMD_EXEC_IN_BKG" folowing with: "Write Flash - FFFF=NOT_AN_ERR_VSC_CMD_EXEC_IN_BKG", but nothing happens with rom in backgroud "IN BKG"

Wrong. Jumpers have to be set in order to start the drive in safe mode.

To flash a new ROM to a drive you need the drive to be in "safe" mode.
The easiest way to set a drive in safe mode is by using jumpers.
