I have a DataTraveler100 16GB with VID: 0951   PID:1607.
I tried to split it into 2 partitions of 8GB. I used all versions of SK6211 that I found here and I think every codebank version. I used 'flash selection': I29F64G08FAMC1 and I29F64G08FAMC1_4unit and ext interleave, disable, 2 way, 4 way...
None of the combinations worked... :(
Auto-LLF ends with 2 kinds of messages (depends on settings):
-CAPACITY ERROR;
-LLF2 ERROR.
Now, the flash drive shows 0 bytes capacity...

On the case of usb stick is printed:
DT100/16GB
04234-406.A00LF
CH 4025325 CHINA

Please, did anyone succeeded to format this kind of flash? Post a screenshot with the settings of SK6211 or at least give me which version of SK6211 are good, which version of codebank or if anyone knows some tricks on that thing...

Thank you very much and I'm sorry that I'm not a russian speaker...

What is written on memory chips without a label or sticker?

MoshPuiu

I did not break the case to see exactly what is written on chips. I used some progs to identify the controller (SK6211-skymedi) and to see the VID&PID.....
I think this is the same model like in this link:
http://forum.ixbt.com/topic.cgi?id=27:9661:482
see reply Ramonak on middle of page. He has attached images!
I understand that SK6211_PDT_2008xxxx isolate the flash selection only to that models who match flash ID.
So, in the older version of prog apears only models I29F64G08FAMC1 and BK29F16B08HAMC1 and in 2009 appears another few. I tried all versions and nothing......

Digging in other chinese sites i found very few informations regarding DT100/16GB and it seems the flash used is I29F64G08FAMC1....

Anyway, tomorow I think I will break the case to see exactly what is written on chips; but I'm sure I will find the models like in images atached by Ramonak.

First - all information about all possible memory chips are in files "SK6211BA R-W Performance_Capacity List_20090123.xls" and "SK6211BAPC_Skymedi Flash Support List _20090123.xls" in the folder SK6211_20090227_BA \ Doc. If you really I29F64G08FAMC1, then check the file default.cfg section [TAGNAME_FLASH_PART_NUMBER], there shall be shown your memory - I29F64G08FAMC1, if not - correct.
Second setting: Chennel mode-single; External interleave - Disable; ExtInterleave in config - None.
I hope help.

Thank you sergeln for your reply!
I already studied the xls documents. It seems that I29F64G08FAMC1 works 4way. Whatever, I tried all combinations disable, 2way, 4way, none works.
...and [TAGNAME_FLASH_PART_NUMBER] is actualized every time you save config file. In fact there are more options in default.cfg than you will see on interface window; do some test and notice that some parameters are automatically restored...

Still 0 bytes...  :'(

You are using the latest version? http://www.flashboot.ru/index.php?name=Files&op=view_file&lid=217
Used from folder Recovery_And_UpdateDisk a file Recovery Disk V5.3.exe?

MoshPuiu

Yes, I am using the latest version but I tried also the older versions. I compared the files from all versions and I found diferences between them; that is why I tried all of them.

I tried to use Recovery Disk but it also give an error: LLF parameter read error  :(

It seems that when I first tried to format flash some parameters of USb stick changed irrevesible and that is not recoverable. I think the controller is no longer correctly parametrized and the memory flash is not correctly accessed.
I mention here that the device is not broken or something else. It was perfectly working until I tried to partition it with SK6211_PDT_xxxxxx.

I tried to remove the case but it is very well glued and I am afraid to force it too much to not damage the circuit board. I'm still trying...

Maybe someone who have an DataTraveler 100 16GB please post here the data retrieved/displayed by SK6211_PDT_2009xxx when you double-click the button READY. Do not LLF or do other things; just insert the pen drive in usb port and copy the parametters...A screenshot would be best.....
Thanks in advance

I only have two ideas.
1. If you use the AMD platform go to the Intel platform.
2. Try this config. (Not sure it's helps.)

MoshPuiu

1. I use Intel.
2. Not working...
Thx again for your time spended.

I digged in other chinese forums and found what it should be/work (they do not find a solution):

Part name: I29F64G08FAMC1
CodeBank: C080724A_F080731A  (这个是什么东东??)
CodeSwap: 07 02

Now the problem would be that I do not find anywhere SK6211_PDT_20080731_BA and also C080724A_F080731A working?

Does anybody have these versions of programs?? Please let me know...

sergeln

C080724A_F080731A there and in SK6211_20090227_BA. SK6211_PDT_20080731_BA neither the site Chinese (http://bbs.mydigit.cn) nor the site of google does not know.

MoshPuiu

C080724A_F080731A is only listed in SK6211_20090227_BA. In fact there is no subfolder have such name in 'CodeBank' folder and no files with that version; there are only four folders from year 2009.

My conclusion is the versions of this program you can get on chinese sites are very small and incomplete versions (speaking of flash database and codebanks), no matters year of version.
I think you are lucky if you find proper codebank and proper flash part name, at least for newer versions of USB sticks.
