Using FirstChip MP Tool v1.0.6.8 or FC1178BC specific version: firstchip fc1178bc firmware
manages NAND flash memory using specific firmware that can be modified or re-flashed using manufacturer-specific tools known as MpTools (Mass Production Tools). It will erase every bit of data on
Data Loss: Using MPTools is a destructive process. It will erase every bit of data on the drive to re-partition the NAND. typically v3.3.x or higher) |
