I’ve tried to bring several S30’s back to life with Simple imager. They connect fine and start to pull the firmware but it always locks up on the following step.
Searching for: (mbr.bsc)
‘mbr.bsc’ to ‘stream/ide-0-0/’
check the partnumber of your S30s. If it ends with an “L” then you have to use “S32” within Simple Imager and not S30.
S30=old S30
S32=new S30 RoHS compliant
