USB flash drive firmware is done in cases where the media does not allow you to delete data, copy it, or is not detected by the computer at all and does not provide the correct amount of memory. Such malfunctions are evidence of a failure in the flash drive chip. To do this, you need to use a special program.
It is necessary
- - USB device;
- - CheckUDisk, UsbIDCheck, USBDeview or ChipGenius programs.
Instructions
Step 1
The first step is to find out what the model of your carrier's microcircuit is. Having disassembled the shell of the flash drive, you can find this identifier on the microcircuit itself, but few people will deal with such a complex matter. Using the VID and PID codes recorded in the microcircuit program, you can find out the desired model. Any of the programs: CheckUDisk, UsbIDCheck, USBDeview or ChipGenius will "get" the codes from memory.
Step 2
Download any of the above programs and enter the VID and PID codes into it. You can find it on the special website softodrom.ru. Use the base https://flashboot.ru/index.php?name=iflash, which will match your codes with media models and give you the information you need
Step 3
Now you need to find a program for flashing your controller. For this there is a special database at https://flashboot.ru/index.php?name=Files&op=cat&id=2. Find the program indicated by the database and save it to the computer's memory. If the utility requires installation, do so. Read the operating instructions - they are contained in the program help
Step 4
Perform the necessary actions on the USB drive. Check the result of your work by launching the Disk Management tab (right-click on the My Computer icon - Management). Format the media. Failure of the flash drive firmware can occur for various reasons. This is a fairly common problem and inexperienced users will simply throw away the media instead of trying to fix it.
Step 5
As a rule, many damaged USB drives can be repaired even in the most difficult situations, so try to fully check such a device for errors, check with various programs, read instructions on specialized forums.
