: If the tool does not see the drive, you may need to manually short two pins on the controller chip while plugging it in to force it into "test mode," allowing the software to recognize it. Configure VID/PID : In the AlcorMP settings: Click Driver . Add your device's VID/PID (often 058F / 6387 or 058F / 1234 ). Save and refresh the tool.

: When the tool successfully initializes the NAND and flashes the firmware, the "FA04" status represents a successful "Write Configuration" phase. This means the controller has successfully partitioned the flash memory and established a new file allocation table. Conclusion

: The MPTool must be configured to perform a "Low-Level Format." This process bypasses the OS's limitations to re-map bad blocks and re-write the firmware code directly onto the controller’s EEPROM.
