hi guys,
have you got some experience with the 1TB WD10JMVW-11AJGS1?
I have one that with USB doesn't get ready at all. i extracted ROM with flash programmer and burned into a compatible SATA PCB. it comes ready now but can't get drive details, all SA access is blocked, any idea?

When i try to image it in DE, i get some green sectors but mostly yellow and red, but it seems it manage to get few of them, not good enough.
I suspect some FW corruption maybe translator issue. there are no weird sounds. just keep on spinning and quite. With SATA it get Ready with right serial number and model.
How can i access the FW on these drives?
Any common issues you are familiar with?
