Hey guys, got one chipgenius doesn't have links for, any help would be appreciated:

Device Name: ++[E:][F:]+USB Mass Storage Device(SD/CP Abra USB Device)(SD/CP Abra USB Device)

PnP Device ID: VID = 0781 PID = 5E0F

Serial Number: 425510027BA0C867

Revision: 6.61/6.61

Device Type: Standard USB device - USB2.0 High-Speed

Chip Part-Number: (No match record)

Product Vendor: SD/CP

Product Model: Abra

VID 0781 is supposed to be SanDisk..

My guess is you have one of these :

http://www.checkpoint.com/products/abra/

There are not many tools available for SanDisk products, you could try their "Launchpad removal"-tool

but I have no idea if it works on that controller.

[vurubshnut]

Thanks for the response!

It is indeed an Abra stick manufactured by Sandisk. Unfortunately although the U3 removal tool from their website recognizes the drive, it fails out with an error when I try to perform the removal.

[IOSys]

What error message does it show ? (you need admin-rights and maybe UAC can mess things up to)

What's on the CD-ROM ?

On some sandisk drives the CD-removal tool is inside the Launchpad.exe file,

you may be able to extract it with "Universal extractor" or something ..

Hi, I have a little 1 gb promo usb key i got a few years ago. It has a 47mb cdfs partition. Like the person that posted on page 1, it has VID = 0204 and PID = 6025, the chip part number according to chipgenius is cbm2080/cbm2090/cbm1190. I have tried the umptool for 2090 and 209X and it doesnt even show up in the latter, and the former doesn't seem to work. After running for around 7 hours, it has a full bar on the left and the right says: "F:BAD:2048/2048,Low Level Scanning..."

please let me know what my next step should be. I have seen umptool 2080 linked on multiple pages, but the download link is dead.

Thanks

Flashboot.ru has 2 tools for cbm2080, try those and see if it solves the problem:

Some of the older tools may have problems working on Vista/win7 and you need admin-rights.

Some antivirus-software may also interfere and you should insure that nothing is accessing the flash-drive..

I didn't try either of the programs that you suggested, but i may have used them before. I figured out why they weren't working though. The chipgenius data was wrong. I popped open the usb drive and its actually a 2092, and i was able to find a program that worked for me. However, it gives me 7/4096 bad sectors, but a capacity of only 503 mb, as opposed to the 1 gb that it actually is... CBM tool says: capacity = 1024 mbs, but on the line beside the progress bar, i have Cap.: 503mb. Any ideas on how to solve this?

Greetings,

I've tried to find some way of handling this on my own, but I'm hoping the expertise here may be able to help.

I received a USB drive and am trying to get rid of the partition.

Chipgenius reports the following:

Device Name: ++[F:][J:]+USB Mass Storage Device(USB 2.0 Flash Disk USB Device)(USB 2.0 Flash ...

PnP Device ID: VID = 1223 PID = 3234

Serial Number: 2006092100530866

Revision: 3.00/3.01

Device Type: Standard USB device - USB2.0 Full-Speed (USB1.1)

Chip Vendor: (No match record)

Chip Part-Number: (No match record)

Product Vendor: USB

Product Model: 2.0 Flash Disk

If there's anyone who may be able to point me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you!

PID 3234 is supposed to be a Ameco-controller, Ameco-tools are here :

Ameco MPT's on flashboot.ru

I'm not sure about the specific version you have ..

If you open the 'Settings'-dialog you can choose the NAND-type in 'Flash-settings' .

It's possible you have to choose the correct NAND-type/capacity manually ...

I like many am trying to remove the CDFS partition on a bulk set of USB Drives.

I have some LiveCall USB's made possibly by Hauri, the cdfs partion is an AV scanner. ITs terrible and sends data back home.

I have gone to Flashboot.ru, tried the prolific download v21400, but the documentation states the device has to be inserted and has to be a prolific device, and additional mfr modifications will cause the format tool to not work.

I know removal of the CDFS is possible as a coworker in another branch office was able to get it off but refused to disclose the secret.

I have a 2GB promotional USB mini-stick (no way to take it apart) and I'm trying to get rid of the CD partition. So far my search led me to it being an ITE chip, and the removal tool being IT1167 MPTool, but I can't figure out how to use it for the life of me. Am I on the right track?

VID: 048d

PID: 1167

Good Day to all. I just spent that day reading up on this post and its amazing to see that there is a lot of USB flash drives out there with CD images on them. I am amazed. So, my reason for finding this site and signing up to ask for help is I recently came across one of the new MacBook Air Recovery Flash Drives. This bad boy is 8GB's of sexiness, unfortunately its completely locked with a cd image. At first all I wanted was to clear the flash drive to be able to use it but after reading that its possible to clear the disk and then reimage it with another cd image, i started to get to thinking I would prefer to clear it and then reimage it with a Snow Leopard Clean install disc that I have purchased so I can use that instead of the disc for my needs. BUT baby steps first right. So to begin I have downloaded the USBDeview and have loaded a screenshot of what it gave me below. I would like any help I can get from the pro's to unlock this flash drive and hopefully reimage it again. Thanks in advance for any help!!!

Below is info from card mounted onto laptop through USB cable attached to phone (card is in phone). These cards used to be a single FAT16 partition, but now have the CDFS partition and a self-installing boot system, so when they are connected to a PC, the CD partition self-starts and installs a driver. Problem is before the last update, car radios that have a USB cable connection could read the card from the phone and play music since they could see the full card's data partition. Now, the car radios don't see the FAT16 partition anymore since they default to the first partition - in this case it's the CDFS partition.

I can either go through the phone's USB connection to fix this, or I have a MicroSD card reader that works fine in my laptop's USB port. Can anyone help. Below is the info from ChipGenius. Thanks.

I used again the program, and after configuring it, after I install the Mass production Drivers, in the SMI Mass production Tool, I click (as is said in the instructions) the Scan USB. After that, the program just freeze and nothing happened....

Any idea?

Thanks!

IOSys I hope you can help me :)

I have a USB which I believe is U3, when I connect it up to my pc it opens up the RUN command on windows and types in a website and launches it.

The weird thing is that it doesn't show up as anything in windows explorer, not a CD drive or a Removable device.

Here's what ChipGenius says about it:

Is there any way of me accessing the filesystem?

its a virgin media branded usb and has a tiny chip inside which has a "W" logo with "24C02C" next to it and "352981030" underneath.
