Samsung SSDs seem to jump into a strange firmware mode. This procedure trues to recover the drive, but sadly the data will be lost.
Use this version:
================================================================== Samsung(R) SSD Magician DC Version 2.0 Copyright (C) 2015 SAMSUNG Electronics Co. Ltd. All rights reserved. ==================================================================
Run:
C:\Temp>Samsung_Magician_DC_Windows_64bit.exe -L ================================================================== Samsung(R) SSD Magician DC Version 2.0 Copyright (C) 2015 SAMSUNG Electronics Co. Ltd. All rights reserved. ================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------ | Disk | Model | Serial | Firmware | Capacity | Drive | Total Bytes | | Number | | Number | | | Health | Written | ------------------------------------------------------------------ | 1 |SAMSUNG MZ7LM1T9HMJP-00005 |<SN> |ERRORMOD | 0 GB | POOR | 0.00 TB | ------------------------------------------------------------------
So we’re using Disk 1, so:
C:\Temp>Samsung_Magician_DC_Windows_64bit.exe -d 1 -V -e ================================================================== Samsung(R) SSD Magician DC Version 2.0 Copyright (C) 2015 SAMSUNG Electronics Co. Ltd. All rights reserved. ================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------ Disk Number: 1 | Model Name: SAMSUNG MZ7LM1T9HMJP-00005 | Firmware Version: ERRORMOD ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Successfully issued ERROR MODE escape command to the device. It may take up to 1 minute for the device to be ready. ------------------------------------------------------------------
After a few minutes, run List command again:
C:\Temp>Samsung_Magician_DC_Windows_64bit.exe -L ================================================================== Samsung(R) SSD Magician DC Version 2.0 Copyright (C) 2015 SAMSUNG Electronics Co. Ltd. All rights reserved. ================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Disk Number: 1 | Model Name: SAMSUNG MZ7LM1T9HMJP-00005 | Firmware Version: ERRORMOD ------------------------------------------------------------------ Successfully issued ERROR MODE escape command to the device. It may take up to 1 minute for the device to be ready. ------------------------------------------------------------------
And it should now be visible to Windows again, but will need initialising and formatting.
