What errors did you get?

Go to HDD manager and try to add a letter to it. Or try to use a recovery software, like DMDE to see if the files are there or not.

Writing ROM will not return it to factory state. What's wrong with the drive? Bad sectors for instance?

And why do you want/need to do that? What's the drive problem?

Probably head number is not the same...

Welcome!

I don't think so... But depend on what you do.

Thank You!

Hi The link is not working. Can you check it again?

Recover a file on a phone after 7 years of usage? That's 99.999999999% impossible, not to say 100%. How many times was it factory reset for instance? On a phone or any flash memory dependent device, after you delete a file or whatever, after a few minutes/hours it will be completely erased.

Edit NVRAM headmap to 0000 or 1111 and try.

The best way to know is to try since you have the drive with you.

Maybe a head issue. Try to edit NVRAM headmap

Nothing in particular here. Go for what seems best for you.

Why don't you swap to a SATA PCB?

Weird stuff...

The HDD is fully ID, with full capacity or not? If yes, you should try to image it first and only after do a software scan on it. Anything different, you should contact someone who can properly check what's wrong with the drive.

If it was a Seagate you could use some terminal cable adapter and check it, but on WD it's not possible.

That is right.. But as said before, your problem is not on the PCB. You need a tool to diagnose what else is wrong with the drive....

Looks like a test case for an exam, right??
