I succesfuly brought back to life two Barracuda ES.2's ST3500320NS PN: 9CA154-303. Firmware was SN05, upgraded them to SN06 after revival. The short-circuit worked for me, but with a slight modification: After issuing the command F3 1>N1 i had to restart the drive. Otherwise the drive did not accept the F3 T>m0,2,2,,,,,22 command, all I was getting is "Invalid Diagnostic Command". EDIT: I used this tool instead of the nokia cable, it's safer and easier to use: FT232BM/BL Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 Firmware Fix tool, complete, USB powered
