engineman Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 I recently received a USB drive at a career fair at school. However, everytime I plug the thing in, internet explorer opens up the companies career page. The drive appears to be using technology similar to U3 since there is an extra CD-ROM drive that appears on the computer and it contains all of the autorun stuff. Could someone please point me in the right direction to removing this from my drive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IOSys Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 I might be able to help you depending on what brand your flash-drive is (or rather : the controller-chip) If you post the VID/PID and other info about your drive I might be able to provide you links to the necessary tools . You can get the information by downloading this nice tool from nirsoft : http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
engineman Posted February 28, 2008 Author Share Posted February 28, 2008 Thanks for your help.

IOSys Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Hmm, VID 1976 doesn't appear in any of the vendor-lists but PID 6025 appears to be this controller : CBM2080 Flash drive controller http://www.chipsbank.com/en/product/xx/cbm2080.htm according to THIS post http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?sho...st&p=116954 the tool to reprogram it should be available somewhere, unfortunately the download-link is dead . But since the manufacturer probably has changed at least the VID the best way to make sure is to disassemble the drive (carefully) and read the markings on the controller-chip . ------Tools like this are not meant for "normal" users. I have a machine setup ONLY for such tasks as installing them may or may not mess with your standard usb-drivers . ABSOLUTELY NO GUARANTEES - USE THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK - and RTFM first !!! ---- EDIT : I found a collection of production-tools for USB-devices on a Chinese geek-board and uploaded the CBM2080 tool and the English manual here : http://www.wikiupload.com/download_page.php?id=35427 NOTE : Some AV's don't like the file, this could be because of the Chinese characters OR it could actually be infected so use at your own risk : http://www.virustotal.com/analisis/0bb166e...241f6493a177819 I will upload the entire collection later .

engineman Posted March 3, 2008 Author Share Posted March 3, 2008 Thanks for all of your help. I opened the drive up and the chip appears to be a CBM1190. Do you have any tools that will work with this chip? UPDATE: I tried both the CBM2080 tool and the FlashDiskManager program in the links that you sent me. Neither seems to recognize the drive. Also based on the manual with the CBM2080 program, you need to have a special programming board in order to use the program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
engineman Posted March 4, 2008 Author Share Posted March 4, 2008 I found your other post with a collection of production tools. I used the CBM2090 tool (according to CBM's website the 2090 is pin identical to the 1190), and it let me reformat the drive and now the extra CD drive is gone. I also think that with a little bit of fiddling it would let me put a custom autorun ISO on the drive so I could make a switchblade drive if I wanted to. Very cool! Thanks for your help.

engineman Posted March 5, 2008 Author Share Posted March 5, 2008 I tried the U3 removal tool, but it didn't recognize it as a U3 drive, which is why I came here in the first place. I had to use a production tool that IOSys uploaded in a different post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IOSys Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Glad to hear you found a tool that worked . Yes, judging by what the manual says you should be able to set up your own ISO, you can even control the size of it .

acmp Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 I have a similar issue to this. The key sets up an auto run 'CD' with a presentation on it. Very annoying. I've got the tools form this topic but can't get them to work. The VID is 0204, PID shows as 6025 but the chip is ID'd as CMB2091 I've tried the CMB2080 and CMB2090 tools but neither seem to work. CMB2090 crashes when run on my XP box. Any ideas what tool I need to remove the presentation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IOSys Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 I don't have the hardware to test it but this contains a folder called "2091", maybe you are lucky ? http://rapidshare.com/files/74291869/CBM20....8.3.2_1122.rar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bloodrider Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 I've a similar problem. I checked the info about my usb pen drive with usbview: serial number: 000878 VID: 2008 PID: 2018 USB class: 08 USB subclass: 06 USB protocol: 50 I think the controller is MW6208 and I need UdTools 1.0.2.9. The problem is these tools seem to be available only at a chinese site http://bbs.mydigit.cn/read.php?tid=4345, only members can download and to register you need an invitation code :( I really want to get rid of this "automount cdrom" on my pen drive, can anyone provide me with the tools or an invition code? Thanks in advance ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IOSys Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Have a look here, Russian board with lots of production-tools : http://209.85.171.104/translate_c?hl=en&am...lB5iLUdvvybPoCA Maybe it's this one : MW6208 MPTool_V2.0 20071220 ? EDIT : Or this one : AMECO_MXT6208_UDiskTools_1.0.2.9_080325.rar both can be downloaded from the russian site .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

der_musterknabe Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Hey, i've got an similar problem with my usb pen and also want to get rid of this "extra" CD Drive. usbview gave me this informations: Device Name Mass Storage Description USB USB 2.0 Flash USB Device Device Type Mass Storage VendorID 058f ProductID 6387 USB Class 08 USB SubClass 06 USB Protocol 50 I could not figure out the controller chip. Hopefully you could help me out with some tools or tell me how to solve this. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IOSys Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Based on the VID/PID it sounds like a Transcend-drive ? They use Alcor-controllers in a lot of their drives, production-tools for Alcor can be found here : http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=e...%3Fname%3DFiles A good tool to identify your UFD's controller can be downloaded here : http://www.mydigit.cn/mytool/chipgenius.rar If a mfg-tool is available for your UFD it will even show a link to the tool. Unfortunately the files are on a Chinese board that requires registration and "points" to download but all the files are also available on the Russian board :) Edit : If it IS a Transcend you might find something useful here as well : http://www.transcendusa.com/Support/DLCenter/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunkai Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 The USB drive that I'm trying to format is branded only as CISCO and when I use the USBDeview tool, it says that the VID and PID are both 0000 and the description is just "2.0 USB Device".
