| Post subject: | Need raw firmware (.bin/.fw) for Samsung SM841 (840 Pro OEM) |
Hi everyone, I am trying to recover a bricked Samsung SM841 OEM SSD from an HP EliteBook laptop. The drive experienced a microcode/panic lock failure and became completely unresponsive (not detected in BIOS). I have successfully opened the casing and managed to force the Samsung MDX controller into Safe Mode / ROM Mode (SATA_BOOT) by shorting the correct test points (Pins 6 & 7 based on continuity testing to GND). The drive is now recognized in Windows Device Manager as a generic "SATA_BOOT" device under SCSI\Disk IDs. Since HP has scrubbed their older SoftPaqs from their official support pages, I am unable to acquire the correct OEM firmware package. Could anyone please share a raw firmware dump or binary file (.bin / .fw) for this specific HP OEM drive? Here are the exact drive specs from the casing sticker:
HP P/N: 717354-001 Original Firmware: DXM05H6Q (or compatible HP OEM release like DXM06B0Q / DXM06H6Q) Any help or upload link would be highly appreciated. Thank you in advance! |

Are you trying to recover the drive or your data? A firmware upload won't result in a data recovery. |

Just need that firmware as described in post to get that SSD up and running again so that I then can get my data. |

The drive probably has a corrupt Flash Translation Layer. A firmware update won't fix that. |

Might be, have no idea. I have successfully opened the casing and managed to force the Samsung MDX controller into Safe Mode / ROM Mode (SATA_BOOT) by shorting the correct test points (Pins 6 & 7 based on continuity testing to GND). The drive is now recognized in Windows Device Manager as a generic "SATA_BOOT" device under SCSI\Disk IDs. That is a start, now I need to upload new firmware. That is my plan at least. I have got this link https://www.station-drivers.com/index.p ... 46&lang=en that seams to be correct driver, but can´t get it to download. I have sent an email to forum admin about it just a minute ago. |

Mine is not to reason why, but I found this. However, I don't know if it is suitable. I wouldn't apply it in any case. MZ-7PD256 to SSD 840 PRO (256 GB): https://www.samsung.com/ca/support/model/MZ-7PD256BW/ Firmware File ver DXM05B0Q 1 MB Jun 04. 2013 Windows MULTI LANGUAGE: https://org.downloadcenter.samsung.com/downloadfile/ContentsFile.aspx?CDSite=UNI_CA&OriginYN=N&ModelType=N&ModelName=MZ-7PD256&CttFileID=5457858&CDCttType=FM&VPath=FM%2F201306%2F20130604170817781%2FDXM05B0Q.zip |
