#HOW TO LINK OCZ VERTEX 3 FIRMWARE WIN 10 SERIAL NUMBER#To confuse matters there's a decimal serial number printed on the SSD case, which doesn't seem to match the Hex one reported in smartctl -a Maybe there's a setting somewhere in MP Tool to set it up correctly, never used it before, so I don't know. anyway I just entered "fcd03878d", which is part of my serial number. #HOW TO LINK OCZ VERTEX 3 FIRMWARE WIN 10 CODE#Of note are : "IEEE Company ID" - I believe this should be set to "E83A97" (The hex code for 'OCZ Technology Group') "Increment" - I set to "0" "Serial Number" - I wasn't able to get the WWN to match what my "good" drive reported in 'smartctl -a'. ![]() #HOW TO LINK OCZ VERTEX 3 FIRMWARE WIN 10 UPDATE#Of note is, if you want to at least try to update the firmware (or at least, for any of the OCZ tools to recognise the drive) with any of the above tools, you'd need to setup the Drive information a bit more precisely. What I think is the latest version can be downloaded here : AND, there's a Windows tool which still also seems to work (latest version I think) : Regarding "MP Tool", it's quite fiddly, but it's really worth persevering with it, because eventually I managed to bring the SSD back, even though I was getting errors in the log window. ISO provided by OCZ doesn't include a bootloader !). It's a bit more fiddly to setup, as you'd need to create a USB stick, that boots, then mounts and boots the. There are also versions of standalone OCZ Bootable tools, which is based on Tin圜oreLinux. Firmware can be updated in linux using a download I found on Arch linux website : Just download, extract and run the executable. By the looks of things, the OCZ server that provides Firmware update for older SSDs still is online (for how much longer, who knows). #HOW TO LINK OCZ VERTEX 3 FIRMWARE WIN 10 HOW TO#I think (although not sure), that this link downloads the latest firmware from OCZ (now Toshiba's) server : (as referred to in this post - ) If someone knows how to (force) flash that, would be helpful, but obviously need to confirm it's the right file first. I'm not aware of a standalone way to flash the firmware. latest firmware is v1.37 (as far as I know) Thanks for the guide and links, I was able to revive one of the SSDs which I bricked after I "forgot" to switch off the sleep on my laptop - The laptop slept, the SSD never woke up again. I have one more question: Is anybody able to tell me which version of Sandforce SF 1222 firmware (or OCZ Vertex2 fw, as the OCZ fw numbering differs from original SF numbering) is fixing this "brick issue" (=prevents from bricking again)? Here are my notes with some pictures of the procedure: Thanks again :-) Then I tried much newer Asus Z97M-plus and everything worked as expected. I was not able to get Vertex detected in MP Tool on Gigabyte GA-K8NE mobo (quite old, no AHCI option in BIOS) and MSI MS-7592 ver 7.1 (also old one, no AHCI in BIOS again), both showing "ssdt_driver.ko" error in console. #HOW TO LINK OCZ VERTEX 3 FIRMWARE WIN 10 PC#Hi, first of all I want to thank you for sharing all the information above, which finally allowed me to fix bricked Vertex2! Here are some observations which may help others trying to do the same: - I used push button to connect P8 - P9, pressed it before turning PC on, holding all the time until MPtool starts to process (format) it - In case that SSD is detected by BIOS (as Sandforce because P8 and P9 connected together) but not in MP Tool and the console launched together with MP Tool complains about "insmod: error inserting ‘./ssdt_driver.ko’: -1 Operation not permitted" make sure you enabled AHCI in BIOS or try to use different motherboard (PC) for the procedure. Can someone give me some hint? Thank you in advance! In step 12, in the "Manufacturing Config" tab, the “Config Name” field is empty, no option available and the mask is disabled, only the buttons at the bottom are available (Update license, etc…). Here below what I’ve done: - PC powered off - Disconnected optical drives and disks except the SSD to restore - Switch on the PC while shorting P8-P9 for few seconds (-> green light with a single flash of red light) - SSD detected by BIOS as “Sandforce” - Boot from Live USB During boot process, some some errors appear: ata2: link is slow to respond, please be patient (ready=0) ata2: device not ready (errno=-16), forcing hardreset ata2: link is slow to respond, please be patient (ready=0) ata2: SRST failed (errno=-16) When I launch MPTool from the Desktop an error appears in the background terminal window: insmod: error inserting ‘./ssdt_driver.ko’: -1 Operation not permitted Then I follow the procedure successfully until step 11. ![]() ![]() Hi, i've tried to resurrect my OCZ Vertex 2 following the provided instructions but I can’t complete the entire procedure. ![]()
