This is one USB drive(USB1737) data recovery case study shared by one of our Chinese users and it explains how to use DFL-FRP firmware repair tool and DFL-DDP USB3.0 data recovery equipment to get the lost data back from this patient USB hard drive with simple steps, this patient USB drive was not recognized in windows.

The user changed the USB PCB to SATA PCB and swapped the ROM but the hdd ID was not recognized, the good news is that the hdd is ready within the DFL-FRP for WD. Read more

HDD ID: WDC WD2500AAKX-001CA0; Serial Number: WD-WMAYU08856953; Family: Tahoe_LT; Microcode: 00030010

The following hdd has selftest run but failed. To check the selftest history and find out what happened, users can go to view the IBI logs.

We can find one of the import selftest process failed-B9-format with plist, the time shows 00. This step is very important for selftest because it reassigns the data area defects to the p-list. If this step fails, there will be many bad sectors found during the scanning. Read more

This was one case study of Seagate F3 hard drive refurbishing, to refurbish the hard drive means the client doesn’t need the data inside the drive, because the functions used in this case study will destroy the data.

So users must backup the firmware resources, must learn whether it’s to refurbish the hard drive or recover the data before operating on the hard drives.

The hard drive ID information is as below:

Model: ST500DM002-1BD142; Firmware version: KC43; Capacity: 500GB; Serial Number: 6VMXTPTB Read more
