Weasel Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Hi,I recently bought an OCZ ATV 16GB (VID 1307/PID 165) flash drive for my sister which was left crippled after a failed formating attempt with OCZ's Memorybar tool. It was no longer recognized as OCZ ATV by mptool or any other tool I used and even the serial number was gone. When pluged in to a pc (windows XP) and selected, windows explorer asked me every time to format the drive. That doesn't worked at all, the formating process always failed to conclued and the stick even made my machine freeze most of the times. So I took my chances and used mptool to reset the drive. Unfortunately I couldn't find a config file for this particular drive (as offered from OCZ for some of the other PID's) and therefore I left the settings untouched. By doing so I was able to bring the drive back to live fully functioning but of course it is now lacking the specific branding.Well, since it was me who messed up the stick in the beginning and my sister is going to kill me if I don't bring it back to it's former self I would like to ask you guys if someone knows a place where I can get OCZ's original mptools settings for this PID from? I already contacted OCZ but they only offer to RMA the pen drive. But that would cost almost 2/3 of the price I paid for the stick, making it not really an option.

jaclaz Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 I recently bought an OCZ ATV 16GB (VID 1307/PID 165) It's strange the "165" is it a "0165"?It "sounds" like a "diesel":http://www.ocztechnologyforum.com/forum/showthread.php?66575-OCZ-Diesel-8G-very-slow-write-speed-4MB-sWHICH among these tools did you try?http://www.ocztechnologyforum.com/forum/showthread.php?58797-MPtool-for-ATV-Rally-2-Diesel-drivesOr something else?The 1307/0165 is associated with USBest UT165:http://flashboot.ru/index.php?name=iflashBut cannot say about specific settings (IF the actual OCZ given tool does not work).jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weasel Posted October 27, 2010 Author Share Posted October 27, 2010 Hi jaclaz,first of all thanks for your reply.It's strange the "165" is it a "0165"?Sorry, my bad. Yes, it's a "0165" from USBestIt "sounds" like a "diesel":http://www.ocztechnologyforum.com/forum/showthread.php?66575-OCZ-Diesel-8G-very-slow-write-speed-4MB-s No, it's not a Diesel. It's just a plain ATV without any additional names, which is rubberized and painted in blue and orangeWHICH among these tools did you try?http://www.ocztechnologyforum.com/forum/showthread.php?58797-MPtool-for-ATV-Rally-2-Diesel-drivesI tried all of them, but none is working with "0165"Or something else?The 1307/0165 is associated with USBest UT165:http://flashboot.ru/index.php?name=iflashYep, got the working mptool from flashbootBut cannot say about specific settings (IF the actual OCZ given tool does not work).That's a pity. Do you know any other place on the net where someone might be able to help me?Weasel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaclaz Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 That's a pity. Do you know any other place on the net where someone might be able to help me?NO. But you can try using as "base" the .esp (or .erp) files in the "old_rally2.zip" (which is for the UT163) AFAIK there are a lot of similarities between the UT163 and the UT165.That file should be corresponding (roughly) to the UT163 MPTool v3.9.35.0:http://flashboot.ru/Files-file-147.htmlIf you get the UT165 1.65.29.0 it should be similar.http://flashboot.ru/Files-file-457.htmlOf course some data (like the name of the istorage) will be "wrong".Get the above two tools and use Uniextract:http://legroom.net/software/uniextractto expand the .exe without installing it, compare the various .esp and .erp files....jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
