What 'tools' do you have? According to that, we can do something.

I would put a fresh FW and then selfscan it... (kills data but the drive can be usable again)
Be careful refreshing the FW.

Or you can switch to SA-C and SS from there that will rebuild fresh SA .

It can be done without selfscanning if the drive had no SA defects. (provided that only those 3 mods were zapped, everything else is fine)
