How to Unlock Original WD PCB/ROM for Data Recovery

[Bankole Oladoja]

I have attached a short video. You will need a Programmer to write the Unlocked ROM to the Original PCB. This Procedure works for all recent WD models. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kv3PZ0W907Zc95OLn2pax24GhtHe_TAf/view?usp=sharing

Very cool! Who did you squeeze the information for this technique from?

Did someone save this video?
Can somebody upload it again? I didn't have the chance to watch it...it is for real?

I'll see if I can re-create it later on (maybe my memory will be good enough from the one time I watched it). Basically, he showed how you can pull system file 129 out of the newer WDs, even though they're not in the directory module, and then use that to build an unlocked ROM.

I can't verify that this actually works, but looked promising in the video.

Maybe he'll re-post it for us.
