RAP subfile error 201c LED:000000CC FAddr:0028C7CF

It’s a must to learn about the Seagate terminal messages before you work further on Seagate hard drives.

Today let’s talk about the following message:

RAP subfile error 201c
LED:000000CC FAddr:0028C7CF

Rst 0x08M
(P) SATA Reset
(P) SATA Reset
ASCII Diag mode

F3 T>
After we tried to run any commands, the terminal outputs

RAP subfile error 201c

LED:000000CC FAddr:0028C7CF
LED:000000CC FAddr:0028C7CFn

If you continue inputting commands, the above error repeats. Actually above error doesn’t mean the firmware is damaged, it’s generated after using M command and finally it can also be fixed by M command.

After running the M commands, users can go to delete the abnormal defects in the P-list and this way, users may repair the bad sectors.

Dolphin Data Lab will release more solutions to fix different terminal messages, we offer detailed user manuals and case studies based on Dolphin Seagate firmware repair tools.
