n0bby Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Hi jaclaz,Sorry for the delay, I have been busy recently.I was more hoping to find good news in the link, than I really found I learned that with this particular HDD, Seagate not only placed 100% firmware on the platters, but they also launched new approach to the drive in which once it can not read from the platters it will not initiate, period...Most probable reason, bad sectors or even platters surface damage.It might be possible to enforce firmware update via terminal, but it remains unknown to me which commands and in which sequence should be administered.This secret is a well kept secret, as a Chinese company launched a dedicated terminal device which includes software onboard (probably encrypted sequence of the right commands) which revives bricked drives of all sorts.This is what I have learnt so far, I do not give up though Greetings,n0bby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
