Extract the compressed file into a dedicated folder. Right-click FCMpTools.exe and select Run as Administrator .
Run the tool on a clean system environment or toggle the test point on the physical PCB. Read/write breakdown during bad-block scanning.
Addressed Error Code 6 issues affecting some multi-die flash drives using the FC1178 chip .
: Optimized read and write speeds specifically for the FC1179 controller . Bug Fixes : firstchip fc1178 fc1179 mptools v1052 updated
: Enhances the "Binning" or sorting process to accurately isolate bad blocks, maximizing the usable capacity of low-grade or fake flash chips.
One of the most common uses for FirstChip MPTools v1052 is reviving a "bricked" USB drive.
Under Scan Settings, pick or Clear + Flash to isolate and block hard errors in the storage blocks. Extract the compressed file into a dedicated folder
: An optimized successor to the FC1178, offering better error correction code (ECC) capabilities, faster read/write handling, and broader support for modern, high-density 3D NAND configurations.
Mass Production Tools are low-level utilities that communicate directly with the controller to:
Users often use this tool to restore "2TB" or "256GB" fake drives to their real hardware capacity (e.g., 32GB or 60GB). Read/write breakdown during bad-block scanning
These controllers are known for their cost-effectiveness but often require "mass production" tools to repair logical errors, reset factory settings, or re-partition the drive. The MPTools software suite is the proprietary utility provided by FirstChip to interact directly with the controller's firmware layer.
The firmware compilation process involves a deep sector verification sweep. This sweep can take anywhere from a couple of minutes to several hours, depending on the absolute physical density of the NAND chip.
