I am handling this drive (WD30EZRZ-00GXCB0) PCB: 800055, and when I apply the patch I get the message that the ROM is already unlocked.

The drive get DRD DSC and full ID.

See screenshot attached.

I have PC3K version 7.1.6. Maybe it is not supported?

Thanks for any hint

Unlock SED HDD

The problem was SED (firmware) and not ROM locked.
I already solved it by blocking access to SA and then loading the loader.

By the log it looked like the locked ROM of the new SMR drives.
