Hello to all!

Does someone know how to unlock firmware at this disk drive?
Many thanks in advance for your kind help.
kind regards
Freddy

I don't think it's possible just yet. Well, hasn't been figured out anyway. I'm sure Ace will conjure up something soon.

Hello Freddy,

Could you send us ROM from this drive?

Privet Dmitriy,

I will send it as soon as possible

If I can help with this situation, we have the same model drive

The ROM appears to be 16Mb in size, I will make a dump and upload as well

How did you define that ROM size is 16MB?
Please send us ROM dump.

I did this by dumping the ROM based on previous Seagate family ROM sizes (usually 2Mb)

After some trial and error, I found the ROM was actually 16Mb

The same with Rosewood - the ROM itself is 1Mb but the ROM chip stores 16Mb (16 copies/blocks?)

Checking the datasheet for the ROM chips yields some info about memory size

Dmitriy - I uploaded 2 ROM samples within the TS ticket I have open (Ticket #63646)

Can you confirm you have them?

I have received ROM dumps but seems like they have 8 MB size...

It's Lamar family, it's under developing now, and looks like the solution will not be available in next release.
