but capacity shows 1, then when I enable back 411. it
becomes undetected. I disabled h1 and h2 suspected
damaged. physical checking I dont see any scatch.

SOLUTIONS FOR WESTERN DIGITAL
HDDS WITH HEAD FAILURE
DATA RECOVERY TOOLS & HDD FAILURE, DFL CASE STUDIES & FAQS, NEWS RELEASES

Dolphin data recovery hardware tools have very good data recovery solutions to get the lost
data back from Western Digital hard drives with head failure.

Head failure means the patient drive has something wrong on the hard drive read or write heads
and therefore the data area could not be accessed normally.

Head failure can be weak head, single head damage, multiple heads damage or total heads
damage. To fix these hdd head failure, users get the following data recovery solutions from
Dolphin data recovery hardware tools:

01: Head map setup, users can image data from good heads first and then weak heads;
02: Edit head map in RAM, enable or disable heads easily;
03: Head map editing in ROM, users can turn off heads to find out which heads are damaged;
04: Adjust adaptive parameters/head flying height to enhance the heads’ read/write
capabilities(Unique and innovative data recovery solution);
05: Edit mrjogs parameters/module 47 regeneration;
06: Heads read/write test;
Above functions are available within DFL-WD hdd firmware repair tool.
07: WD standard head replacement tools and WD SLIM hdd head replacement tool to swap
heads in clean room environment.

Western Digital HDD Slow Issue types:

01: Firmware slow-users can fix the corrupted firmware modules to fix the slow issue. DFL-WD
HDD Repair Tool offers one-click slow fix solutions: Common>Common Repair>Slow Fix for
traditional WD hard drives and DFL-DDP data recovery tool offers easy-to-use slow fix for
WD SMR hard drives: DDP>Western Digital>Change Disk Configuration>Set the sector r/w
response time.
02: Physical slow-users need to use the new data recovery solution to enhance the head r/w
capabilities and make the drives read/write quickly. Menu path within DFL-WD hdd repair
tool: Common>Adjust Adaptive Parameters

Please note: Some WD hard drives are full of bad sectors due to head corruption and users need
to swap heads to fix and get lost data back.

Users can watch the video instruction here on how to use ‘Adjust Adaptive Parameters’ for
data recovery without head swap.

SEAGATE HDD LED FIX NEW DATA

RECOVERY SOLUTION
DFL CASE STUDIES & FAQS, NEWS RELEASES

Dolphin Data Lab has created one new Seagate hdd firmware repair function specially for fixing
Seagate faulty hard drives with LED status.

For Seagate patient hard drives, users cannot enter F3 T> and cannot do anything further to
repair the corrupted firmware modules if the hdd suffers LED failure. It is something like the
bluescreen of the computers.

To fix the Seagate LED HDD, there’re several methods:

01: Short connect;

02: Hot swap;
03: Boot ROM write+Loader
Now we create the 4th new and easier method: Disable Subsystem of the SA and this is
something like the ‘disable 411’ within WD hard drive firmware repair software, very easy to
use and very helpful in many Seagate LED cases.
Users can open DFL Seagate HDD repair tool, enter the software, select ROM
Operations>ROM Edit>Disable Subsystem

Next users just need to write new rom to HDD and then users can bypass the LED status, go to
COM terminal and enter F3 T>, finally users need to write back the original rom after firmware
repair.

Next users can open DFL-DDP data recovery software and get all the lost data back easily.

Solution change pcb not working head problem

I have an ST2000DM001 drive that cannot read servo and am looking for a donor to do a head
swap. The drive spins up, clicks 11 times and shuts down. Terminal gives the following:

 and the last entry is repeated 9 more times before spin down.
According to donordrives.com, matching criteria include the following

Hard Drive Match Criteria (for Head Stack Assembly replacement or Platter Swap).
1. Full Model Number. Example: ST9640320AS, ST31000528AS

2. Site Code. Example: TK, AMK, KRATSG, WUXISG

3. Full part number or first 3 characters in serial number.

Example: 9Y7389-301, 9JU138-302, 5MA84KC2, 9ND29XWG

4. Firmware. Example: CC44, 0005HPM1

I can’t seem to find a matching donor and according to the article “Seagate Head Swap
Compatibility & Donors” included on the U-Disk, apparently incompatible drives can make
perfectly suitable donors. My customer brought the following drives, the second to use as a
potential donor. I don’t want to use the second drive without more assurance that it will match:

Connect PCB Only And Let It Stay On For 15 Minutes Then Run
WD Tool ,Select Kernel Mode And Select Autodetect [ You Get
Something Or Not  ] . If You Swapped U12 To Donor PCB U12
Slot Then i See No Reason That The Board Will Die .Other That
The Preamp Of The HSA Was Bad And That Killed The MCU Of
Your New Board .BAD Preamp Will Never kill ROM  .I Had a

study case wd3200AAjs-00L7A0

firstly the customer said "my hdd had fall down"

i checked the hdd by connect pwr ,hdd start click
so , directly i got donor and start to change head
hdd read OK and i start to read sa mod but copy 0 had many
error
so i tried to save copy 1
then write to head 0 but unfortunately fail
so i write all mod to new donor after formatting SA then i did hot
swap
data back

Patient drive: WD20EZAZ
PCB: 2060-810011
Reported symptoms
According to the drive owner, when he was copying wedding pictures to
HDD, windows OS popup error massage called “not enough space”
HDD Repair and Recovery steps:
1.Once our user received the HDD, he checked. He found that when
power on HDD, it spin up, but then two times’ clicking and power
down. Like platter damage;
2.He tried to unlock, but same scenario. No modules showed, only
power up, two clicks, power down;
3.So he guess it can be module damaged. But couldn’t power up. He
used only pcb and disable module 02, module 411 and kernel mode. But
same clicking;
4.He found a donor PCB with same microcode HDD. Then used patient
PCB to donor for test, donor drive can be detected as normal;
5.He put donor to PAITENT HDD. Luckily the patient drive can be
detected. But after 10 seconds, gave one click and went to busy status.
Not responding;
6.He managed to power on and off till enter the inside of FW program;
7.He disabled module 02. After doing that HDD shows module and no
clicking. But once enabling module 02, start clicking again. He had to
disable again to get all modules;
8.He edited module 02 manually and write it SA. Fortunately no
clicking, smoothly worked with HEX 00;
9.DFL repaired the corrupted module 190, he then wrote it to SA and
load to RAM. “missing node function ” and “repair nodes function”
which built in version 2.31 were used for this case;
10. Two partitions are displayed properly, the image speed is quite good,
up to 150M per second.
