The mp_tool is included in an image of 1.2GB or so which you will need to write to a USB drive and boot from the USB drive. All of these are posted in a site in China so use to search for it.

In order to fix the Vertex 2 when not recognized by the BIOS, you will need the manufacturing tool called mp_tool by Sandforce together with the license file *.lic and the firmware package file *.dst.

How to link ocz vertex 3 firmware win 10 serial#
As far as the serial port goes, there is a tool called ecli.exe that will decode the output and display something readable, which might be useful when the mp_tool fail, you could find out why it fail from the serial output. If your drive configuration is not included in the *.lic file, it gets much harder because you will have to modify the mp_tool itself to overwrite things, which I am not going into details beside the fact that the tool is written in python script and you should be able to decompile it and modify the script as you like.
So jump those two pads, connect the power cable and after a few second disconnect the two pads because when the mp_tool talks to the drive, at some point in time it will reboot the drive and you don't want to force it into manufacturing mode at that time. As far as the Vertex 2 SSD goes, you will need to connect P8 and P9 (the two copper pads in the back of the PCB) when powering it up to force it into manufacturing mode to allow the mp_tool to talk to it via the SATA cable. The site that posts the tool included the instruction so follow it. I know this thread is old, but just want to post something that might be useful for people searching around.

to run legacy Win XP apps or install versions of Linux). I have at my disposal several hobby PCs which I constantly reconfigure for projects as needed (i.e. With instructions I can find my way around Windows based Putty for terminal emulation, and have dabbled with Linux a bit too.

I am PC literate and handy with a soldering iron as I have successfully custom built my own JTAG connectors for serial and USB access in a couple of past projects. Go easy on me as I only know a bit about JTAG, but am great at using step-by-step instructions.
How to link ocz vertex 3 firmware win 10 update#
I don’t need to recover any data, but hope someone could guide me through some JTAG instructions so I could at least unbrick it long enough to update firmware and make it usable again. Research leads me to deduce the culprit as the windows sleep-wake bug that trashed this SSD (both red and green LEDs stuck on during power up). I have a long out-of-warranty OCZ Vertex 2 SSD 120G that is no longer recognized by any BIOS on any machine I try. I know this is a dated thread, but I’ve scoured the web for help with little results. Any idea or more experienced reverse engineering hints are welcome. The binwalk shows a lot of LZMA compressed headers which is the same algorithm what is used by the qrc files. The Qt has a resource system to store files in the binary itself. The second way is the good old reveng: Disassembling of the updater tool to get out the resource files contents and hope that: - The actual hardware - firmware association is stored in some kind of db (xml, sqlite, etc.) - The firmware files are not encrypted and can be written to the flash raw. He does not seems to be active anymore on that forum.
I have written a PM to him, but he have not answered. So that (s)he should know how the web backend should work, so how could I download my drive's firmware. You will have two results the forum above and a forum entry: If you check his/her posts on the forum: there are a lot of SATA and sql related posts. Do a quick google search for the "release/sf/ppro" string. Ah and they shared a link to a working fum.php url: Check that XML. The following itresting string can be found in the binary: tools.xml minver fwinfo.xml Pick one preferably unique string: the "fum.php?d=" Do a google search and you will get one result: The folks over that forum are trying to downgrade a firmware by mimicing the. I see two more possibility: Social engineering: The tool itself is written in Qt, by an Indian programmer. My problem is that I cannot get the drive to a state where the uploader tool could rewrite the flash.
If I short any of the relevant pins it will not detect so I will end up in the unsoldered state.
