Seagate Barracuda ES.2 HP branding


Recommended Posts

BUT! now, I opened the img, opened the zip and renamed the flash.bat to flash.txt, changed the model and saved, tried to close the zip but I get an error: "No such interface supported" and then "Cannot update file "ES2SN06C.ZIP""

I tried to unpack everything and build the img myself but neither magiciso, poweriso nor ultraiso managed to create the img correctly.

Forget :w00t: about *any* .iso or .img modifying tool such as poweriso or ultraiso.

7-zip has (obviously) limited capacity in editing anything but .zip or .7z (and a few other types) archives. it won't do anything to .img's and .iso's (or to files contaqined in them).

Get IMDISK:

  1. use 7-zip to EXTRACT the Bootable_1.44M.img to a directory on your disk.
  2. mount the "on disk" Bootable_1.44M.img to drive A: or B: through IMDISK
  3. do the whatever changes you want to do
  4. unmount the IMDISK drive

If you want to recreate the .iso, get IMGBURN:

and make it following this guide:

I had the same problem with 1 GB0500C8046, I've managed to recover it using informations from this thread and thanks to jaclaz now is running on firmware HPG6.

Thank you again jaclaz.

Happy to have been of use. :)

Maybe you could detail the steps you did (for the benefit of other users that may find themselves in a situation similar to your one).

OK, my drive is:

Barracuda ES.2, 500GB

ST3500320NS

PN:9CA154-783

HP Model: GB0500C8046

Firmware: HPG1 now is having HPG6

1. I followed the steps that johnmar presented in his post here execept that my drive did not showed the message LED: 000000CC... every few seconds it just showed it once and after that the terminal locked and I can't write anything in it.

2. After LED: 000000CC... message I had to short all 4 points usig tweezers (2 by 2 not all 4 together) from the picture that johnmar posted (the two ones surrounded with red and the two ones surrounded with green)

3. Keep that 4 pins shorted for 30 seconds or more, hard drive motor stopped and the terminal was unlocked and responded to CTRL+Z command

4. Followed standard instructions that johnmar posted

5. Checked the drive to see if everithing is OK, connected to the computer in normal way and made a backup with everything from it

6. Downloaded the file that jaclaz recomended from here, tried a lot of other possibilities from HP but nothing worked because I did not had the proper hardware to run or even to install them.

7. Downloaded HP USB Key Utility version 1.7 from here, I have tried also version 1.1 if i remember correctly but it did'nt worked since I'm on Windows 7.

8. I have set the controller to emulate IDE in my motherboard BIOS

9. Booted from the USB stick, updated the hard drive firmware to HPG6 without problems.

If anyone needs more support I'll try to answer as soon as I can.
