USB flash data recovery cases are very common in all data recovery labs but not many data recovery engineers can recover the lost data from these USB flash patient drives efficiently.

Data recovery engineers need to have good knowledge of USB flash drive failure types and how to recover lost data from different damaged flash drives.

USB flash drive failure types:

  • Frequent or wrong connection or disconnection of USB flash drives to computers to get the USB ports unstable or even sometimes physically damaged;
  • USB flash drives are physically damaged and users need to open the usb drives and do some wiring or chip soldering to recover the lost data;
  • USB storage medias are aging and the read and write are very slow with many bad sectors;
  • Data loss caused by accidental power loss/unstable power supply;
  • Data loss caused by accidental file deletion, format, virus attack or system corruption.

Tools suggested for USB flash drives data recovery

Once there’s data loss on the USB flash drives and users wish to recover the lost data, users cannot continue saving any files further or cannot connect or disconnect again and again to avoid permanent data loss.

This is one typical western digital SMR hdd firmware repair and data recovery case study, the patient drive was busy, the firmware area and data area was not accessed, the patient HDD ID was not detected.

To recover the lost data from above busy WD SMR hdd, users need to have the following tools:

01: DFL DDP data recovery equipment;
02: DFL WD hdd firmware repair tool

HDD firmware repair and data recovery steps:

01: Get WD SMR busy hdd ready;
02: Read patient HDD ROM by HDD rom chip pin reader;
03: Generate unlock rom by DFL WD hdd repair tool and write unlock rom by pin reader (sometimes users need to use firmware unlock PCBs to unlock firmware area);
04: Backup important firmware modules;
05: Test firmware modules;
06: Repair module 190 and get repaired t2data file;
07: Load T2data to ram and set auto t2data loading to ram within disk image settings;
08: Data area was accessible and all lost data was recovered successfully.

There’re many new hard drives with newer and higher firmware security level and data recovery engineers couldn’t read and write ROM directly by the existing firmware repair tools.

This article will introduce the easiest method and tools to read and write rom from these new locked drives such as the Western Digital SMR hard drives and new Seagate FW-EB01 hard drives.

This tool is called HDD ROM Programming Clip Adapter and it is working perfectly together with RUS V5000 hdd programmer.

HDD ROM Programming Clip Adapter features:

01: No need to remove PCB;
02: No need to remove ROM chip.

HDD ROM Programming Clip Adapter Package contains the following adapters:

WD 800022 HDD ROM Programming Clip Adapter
WD 800041 HDD ROM Programming Clip Adapter
WD 800065 HDD ROM Programming Clip Adapter
WD 800066 HDD ROM Programming Clip Adapter
WD 800067 HDD ROM Programming Clip Adapter
WD 800069 HDD ROM Programming Clip Adapter
WD 800077 HDD ROM Programming Clip Adapter
WD 810003 HDD ROM Programming Clip Adapter
WD 810011 HDD ROM Programming Clip Adapter
WD 810012 HDD ROM Programming Clip Adapter
WD 810033 HDD ROM Programming Clip Adapter
WD 810035 HDD ROM Programming Clip Adapter
WD 810067 HDD ROM Programming Clip Adapter
WD 810082 HDD ROM Programming Clip Adapter
Seagate 100835923 EB01 HDD ROM Programming Clip Adapter
Seagate 100870309 HDD ROM Programming Clip Adapter

With above clip adapters, users can read the locked hdd rom easily and then generate unlock rom by firmware repair tools and then write unlock rom by the clip adapters. After firmware unlock, users can repair firmware failures by the existing firmware repair tools such as DFL-SRP Portable all-in-one data recovery tool.

This is one Seagate ST2000NM012A-2MP130 hard drive firmware repair and data recovery case study from one Dolphin user in Colombia. The user failed to fix this case by other data recovery tools and then applied for remote support from Dolphin engineers.

ST2000NM012A-2MP130
Family: B5 Cimarron

Patient HDD Symptoms

HDD detected but all sectors are not accessible

HDD Repair and Data Recovery Steps

01: Seagate hdd rom backup and unlock rom generation by DFL seagate hdd repair software;
02: Write unlock rom, power off and on, send unlock key to unlock firmware area;
03: Backup important SYS files;
04: Remove password-2;
05: Repair module 40;
06: Write back original ROM;
07: Open DFL-DDP data recovery software and all lost partitions and folders are available for immediate data recovery.
