If you'd like or need help finding the specific Flash ID for your drive, let me know!
: MpTools scans the NAND flash to identify and isolate defective sectors (bad blocks), ensuring they are not used for data storage.
By default, factory industrial utilities launch in Chinese. Locate the toggle dropdown menu in the upper right-hand corner of the main dashboard, switch it to , and restart the utility if prompted. Step 4: Access the System Parameters
The controller cannot communicate with the NAND chip. This can be firmware corruption, bad soldering, or dead NAND. Fix: Try shorting two specific pins on the NAND chip (advanced technique – search "FC1178 short pin recovery").
: Frequently used to restore the "true" capacity of fake flash drives (e.g., reverting a fake 2TB drive to its actual 32GB or 64GB limit). Firstchip Fc1178 Fc1179 Mptools V1.0.5.2 -
This version (V1.0.5.2, typically released around mid-2022) provides support for a wide range of Firstchip controllers, including: FС1178 3D, FС1178 BC. FC1179: FС1179, FС1179S, FС1179AB. FC2279: FC2279S, FC2279AA. Key Features of MpTools V1.0.5.2
You cannot use MPTools on just any USB drive. First, you must confirm your drive uses an FC1178 or FC1179 controller. Here are three methods:
Its key capabilities include:
MPTools allows partitioning the drive into a normal partition + a CD-ROM partition (useful for WinPE or Linux ISOs). If you'd like or need help finding the
Users can create partitioned USB drives, such as making one part read-only and another read/write, or creating a virtual CD-ROM.
stands for Mass Production Tools . These are software utilities released by controller manufacturers (like Firstchip) for use in factories to format and test thousands of USB drives. However, these tools have been leaked and adapted for end-users to repair their own drives.
: The flash drive disconnects or crashes mid-way through a continuous file copy or benchmark test. Step-by-Step Recovery Process
Designed for low-level formatting, firmware re-flashing, partition generation, and thorough bad block scanning . This is the tool required to fix broken or unreadable hardware. Locate the toggle dropdown menu in the upper
Even with the right tool, things go wrong. Here are the most frequent error codes and solutions.
The (released June 1, 2022) is a specialized "Mass Production" (MP) service utility designed for repairing and re-initializing USB flash drives that use FirstChip controllers. It is primarily used to fix "write-protected," "no media," or "0GB capacity" errors by flashing the controller's firmware. Key Features and Compatibility
