Part 4: Troubleshooting Common Errors

| Error | Meaning | "New" Solution | |-------|---------|----------------| | "Error: Read Only" | Firmware locked due to bad sector remapping failure. | Use MPALL with "Erase All Blocks" only after shorting Boot ROM pins. | | "Flash ID Mismatch" | Your tool's database is too old for the NAND. | Find a newer MPALL build from 2023/2024. Try v3.88 or later. | | "Device not match" | Wrong firmware for PS2251-162. | Ensure the tool includes PS2251-16 .BIN files. Do not use PS2251-07 tools. | | "Format Failed at 52%" | Bad blocks exceed threshold. | The drive is physically dying. Try "Erase All Blocks" + "Low Level Format" again. Accept reduced capacity. | formatter silicon power v3700 ps2251162 new

4. Troubleshooting

"Get Flash Info Fail": If the tool cannot see the drive details, try a different USB port (preferably USB 2.0, as USB 3.0 can sometimes cause communication errors during flashing).
"Code FF": This usually indicates a hardware failure or a bad NAND flash chip. If this persists after multiple attempts, the drive is physically dead.
Wrong Capacity: If the drive shows the wrong size (e.g., 4GB instead of 64GB), go back to the MPALL Settings and ensure the "Partition Type" is set correctly (usually "Public" or "Removable") and that the correct firmware for the NAND type is selected.

Your drive will work like new – though remember: always safely eject, because these drives are still prone to FTL corruption. If not seen: Ensure you are in Boot ROM mode (Step 1)
