so i played with firmwares and burned TF32 to the drive. Now now way return i searched for a way to go return. nothing found..
but i want to flash the orginal firmware

Now i find a way to go to a other firmware versions and flash what i want

You need thef following things:
- a firmwareupgrade-tool where you can load an .bin file for update, like hp21 (sp36277.exe)
- the firmware upgrade .exe like L802A_RATO35.exe
- a hex editor, i prefered hiew

only go this way if you know what a hexeditor is !

Load the L802A_RATO35.exe into the hexeditor and search in hexmode Ascii TO35, after this you find the date from the firmware. Now look 48(30)hex before the TO35

mark now the block from 69 to a length with 2097152(200000hex) Bytes
save this block to to35.bin
load this .bin file into the upgradetool, now you see the new firmwareversion and date
burn and reboot and your drive has the new firmware.

thats it

Firmware can NEVER fix such issues.

Your drive is toast. Your only chance is to clean it.
