Looking for BOOT-ROM for WD20SMZW-11YFCSO FW: 0003001J

Hello,

I hope someone can help me. I'm looking for a BOOT ROM for a charger drive with WD20SMZW-11YFCSO FW: 0003001J.
Original BOOT-ROM is damaged, it does contain a lot of FF, but it is possible to see what FW it is.

Does anybody have a 0003001J FW boot rom for this charger drive and is able to share? :-(
I do want to test if SA and hopefully also UA access is possible with it.

I wasnt able to find it on HDD guru.



best regards
Tobias

So you have both SA and UA access with the original ROM?

Hello!

No I do not, if so I would not need a donor BOOT ROM.
I was able to read original BOOT ROM partly with external reader.
Original BOOT ROM soldered on a donor PCB gives me no status registers at all.

I do want try to get access via a donor Boot ROM and hope that someone has a 0003001J in the database / as backup from an old task.

You made it sound like you wanted 'better access' to UA ;-)
