A hex string indicating the exact NAND memory type (e.g., Toshiba, Hynix, Micron MLC/TLC). Step 2: Source the Files
You buy a "1TB" USB stick for $15. The controller reports 1TB to Windows, but physically it has 8GB of NAND. When you write more than 8GB, the chip overwrites old data silently.
Note: Do not touch, bump, or disconnect the USB device while the status block is yellow or blue. When the status block turns solid , the firmware flash is complete. Disconnect the USB drive, wait 5 seconds, and reinsert it to access the freshly partitioned storage space.
When successful, the drive will show in Windows as 16MB capacity with no media. It means the controller is alive and waiting for firmware.
The scammers used the same MPTool to tweak the firmware more precisely, making fake drives harder to detect. They could mask the true capacity so well that standard software like "H2testw" wouldn't immediately catch it.

Flashing a Phison controller requires a specific combination of two separate software files:
Ensure you are using a USB 2.0 port if possible, as some MPTools struggle with high-speed USB 3.1 ports during the flashing process.
