Western Digital SMR HDDs SED V2 Data Recovery Solutions

,

For WD SMR HDDs, they usually have firmware lock and SED V2 lock issue. To unlock the firmware area, users can use firmware unlock PCB. To fix the SED V2 issue, users can use the following methods:

1, Solder wires on original USB PCB;
2, Use HDD USB-SATA wiring PCB;
3, Use Data Unlock SATA Connectors;

Now we have another method: When the original PCB is physically damaged, users can only transfer the main controller IC to firmware unlock PCB to fix SED v2 issue.

Create an Account on Dolphin Data Recovery Forum

‘Dear Sir or Madam,

I was wondering whether there is a way to still register an account on your Dolphin data recovery forums.
There is an issue with my current just-out-of-warranty-HDD that I would like to try and solve, however there are simply no more tools for me to try out – at least to which I have access to.

Thanks for your time.

Best regards

Moritz’

WD SMR HDD 2060-800077 810011 Unlock PCB Correct ROM Chip Location

,

There’re multiple similar chips on these WD SMR HDDs with PCB number 2060-800077 and 810011. Users are usually confused to find out the correct ROM chip.

The following are the correct ROM chip location:

WD 2060-800077 HDD Firmware Unlock PCB, click here
WD 2060-810011 HDD Firmware Unlock PCB, click here

When users are trying to use above firmware unlock PCBs, users need to use HDD ROM Chip Pin Reader to read the original rom and write the original rom to the unlock PCB and then install the unlock PCB to original HDD so that the original HDD firmware area can be accessed. If users don’t have HDD ROM chip pin reader, users need to solder the original rom chip off and solder it on to the unlock PCB rom chip location.

Please note: firmware unlock pcbs help only to access the firmware area and don’t bypass the SED V2 data encryption. To fix the SED V2 data encryption issue, users need to use HDD USB-SATA Wiring PCB Pro. or Data Unlock SATA Connectors.
