Ideal for working hardware experiencing software locks, partition corruption, or write protection. Step 5: Start the Flash Process
stands for Mass Production Tools . Unlike Windows Format or Disk Management, which work at the file system level (FAT32/NTFS), MPTools works at the controller firmware level .
: Identify the controller → Run as Admin → Set low-level format → Start → Pray for the green "Pass". Keep a copy of V1.0.5.2 in your "Tech Utilities" folder, because it’s not a matter of if a cheap USB drive will fail, but when . --- Firstchip Fc1178 Fc1179 Mptools V1.0.5.2 -
: Optimized for the FC1179 line (chipYC2019) and added support for the 1179s master.
Try a USB 2.0 port instead of a USB 3.0 port. Front-panel ports on PCs often lack the power stability needed for flashing; use the ports directly on the motherboard. : Identify the controller → Run as Admin
Unlike ApTools , which is used for minor modifications like changing vendor IDs, MpTools is a lower-level utility that typically erases all data on the NAND during the repair process.
Basic scanning; assumes the underlying flash media is stable. Try a USB 2
It can rewrite the drive's firmware if the original code has become corrupted, making the drive "invisible" to your PC. Capacity Correction:
If a 64GB drive finishes processing but only reports 16GB of actual storage, the software safely isolated a large block of corrupted memory sectors. This indicates the device is using lower-grade flash components, and the software adjusted the drive size to prevent data corruption.
If the interface is in Chinese, click the button that looks like "Settings" or use the language dropdown to switch to English.
