That person, E123, is NOT selling/licensing the software. He's offering a service, remotely, and I believe, charging reasonably, on a per drive basis. Seems to me like a very clever/competent person, who has figured out a bypass for (some/most?) OEM "firmware locks", and the chosen "delivery method" is an ideal way to charge on a "value received" basis.Yes I need an unlock or script, but for 1 drive to buy a whole software is not possible! If you offer the script - put it here.
There certainly is no easy way, but maybe there is a hard way?This drives are oem for SUN/Oracle with customized firmware. There no easy way to change firmware to HGST generic one.
Use HUGO instead, it will make an update without the need to choose options.This is really confusing.
Can you show serial number or a photo of drive, may be i can find firmware for itBy the way, I've got a HUH721008AL5205 disk that came with D384 firmware. I wonder whether there's newer firmware for this model available anywhere?
That would be awesome! This is how it looks.Can you show serial number or a photo of drive, may be i can find firmware for it
Of course, take whatever time you need, thank you.Thanks, but i will be not so fast maybe 1 week or 2
Finnaly i found firmware https://files.hddguru.com/download/Firmware updates/Hitachi/LHGND9U0.zipOf course, take whatever time you need, thank you.
If you try to download generic fw to apple drive just nothing happens, only error. But maybe drive would accept generic fwI found LHGNW9U0.zip (uploaded? March 21, 2023) on hddguru.com tagged with my drive model. Would this be the proper way to determine if the firmware is appropriate for my drive? The drive has 5 years of power on. Are there any other sites where I could find newer firmware?
