Recover Lost Data from WD Hitachi Helium Hard Drives with UNC Common Firmware Failure

, ,

Data recovery labs receive more and more data recovery cases to get lost data back from Western Digital Hitachi Helium hard drives. Among all of these Helium hdd data recovery cases, UNC firmware failure repair and recovery is very common case.

It’s not possible right now to fix the common firmware failure of UNC by the existing hdd repair and data recovery equipment in the market but from now on, Dolphin team have found one unique data recovery solution to fix the UNC common firmware failure and finally get the lost data back.

There’re many WD Hitachi helium hard drives of 8T,10T,12T,16T,etc. Users can connect these patient drives to desktop computer SATA ports and test the hdds by one software to see if they report UNC error. Users can also connect these helium patient drives to the existing hdd firmware repair hardware and see if they report UNC error.

After the UNC error is confirmed, users can use the special common fw repair solution to get the patient drives repaired and finally get the lost data back. Sometimes users may get ABR errors from the patient Helium hard drives but ABR error usually indicates the patient helium hdd head damage failure or other failures. If physical failure, users need to swap heads to continue the recovery process.

If you wish to recover lost data from Western Digital Hitachi Helium hard drives, feel free to email to [email protected] or add Dolphin Skype ID: dolphin.data.lab

How to Extract Firmware Modules from SA Region Automatically

,

Within DFL-WD hdd firmware repair tool, users get one very helpful firmware repair function: to extract firmware modules from SA region.

To read Western Digital hard drive firmware modules, the firmware repair software usually needs to read module directory(module map) and then read other firmware modules according to module directory. But when the module directory is located on bad sectors or corrupted, the module list is empty and firmware modules couldn’t be read. At this time, users usually find donor rom and loaders of the same microcode to write to patient hdd to access the firmware area or try hot swap method to access firmware modules.

After users have this function to extract firmware modules from SA region, users just need to load loaders to undetected patient hard drives and then read SA region copy 0 or copy 1 and then the software can extract the modules easily and automatically.

For undetected hard drives, only if users get the patient hdd firmware modules, specially key modules, firmware repair will become easier. For example, users can write donor rom and fw to get patient hdds detected and then write patient key firmware modules to access the data area properly.

After firmware repair, users can use DFL-DDP data recovery software to recover lost data.
