Posted on 06/11/2015 by ACELab team

In this video you will find information about data recovery process from SSD Kingston v100 based on JMF616 and TC58NCF616GDT controllers. For now, JMicron company belong to Toshiba, and all moders SSD drives based on Toshiba controllers have the same structure of controller and microcode as JMF based SSD. Engineers from Toshiba use all previous developments and use them in their latest models of SSD. At this moment JMF\Toshiba Active utility support only native Kinston v100 drive.

In future, a couple of new native-Toshiba drives will be added in our Utility.

Kingston_SSD

Supported drives:

  • Kingston V100 (JMF 616 and Toshiba TC58NCF616GDT)
  • Kingston V200 (JMF 667 and Toshiba TC58NCF667GDT) – partially support

PC-3000 for HDD. Seagate F3 utility. Solution of service area problem by loader

Posted on 06/10/2015 by ACELab team

Lets look on the situation when Seagate F3 drive successfully reach Ready State, launch the motor spindle, but as soon as we trying to launch Seagate F3 Utility, drive goes in BSY state and show LED:CC error message.
In this situation drive have a correct Drive ID but capacity is missed for some reason. This behaviour might appear if the drive can’t to initialize techno mode via utility. The reason of such problem could be caused by overlays issue.
In this video we would like to show how to fix this problem by loading overlays in RAM by loader.

PC-3000 HDD. How to solve “No HOST FIS-ReadyStatusFlags” error

Posted on 06/10/2015 by ACELab team

One of the most popular problem with Seagate F3 drives is problem with Translator.
In this video we would like to show you how to fix “No HOST FIS-ReadyStatusFlags“ error.
We have a drive that remains in Busy state and not recognize in utility.
First of all we need to determine what a problem exactly.
Let’s open utility forced and switch on the power supply.
Take a look on the terminal report.
As we can see drive have few error messages that allow us to understand a problem:
SIM ERROR 3005 (mean that “format corrupted flag” in on and Translator is not loaded in RAM)
“No HOST FIS-ReadyStatusFlags” (reason message: why translator is not loaded).

Such behavior could be if drive have problem with:
– Translator
– Service area
– Heads issue
– PCB issue

PC-3000 HDD. How to transfer service area module to another place in DIR

Posted on 06/09/2015 by ACELab team

Sometimes might be the situation when one or more modules in Service Area of WD drive is damaged. The plot of this problem is simple – all heads are working fine, but the place where the module is situated filled by BAD sectors, and any writing operation in this place is impossible. As the result, we get the situation when user area will not be available untill we will not fix this damaged module.
In this video we would like to tell you how to transfer SA module from damaged place to another healthy part of Service Area.

P.S. Don’t forget to turn-on Subtitles! 😉

PC-3000 Flash. How to change the page size

Posted on 06/08/2015 by ACELab team

One of the most popular problem in modern tasks – try to find correct XOR for data re encryption. About XOR you always can read more information by the following link.
In this article you will find the way, how to change page size and fit it for XOR, which was not possible to detected before.

As we all know, controller which is used the physical space of memory chip, sometimes does not use a part of the area, where SA should be replaced. In this situation, controller just put FF-FF-FF bytes instead service structures. After dump reading, we can cut this FF-FF-FF values, and reduce the page size, for example, from 8640 bytes to 8576 bytes and probably find XOR which was available only for 8576 byte page size before.

EXAMPLE:

We get the case with controller SM3257EN and with 1 physical flash chip

After chip reading, we can launch ECC Autodetection, and try to find ECC description. If our case does not have any inserts, we should see the following record in log:
