Hello to all!

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

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?

[FredW]

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

Hello,

Source of the post 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.

[Paradog84]

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?

Hello Mark

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

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.
