Title: Demystifying the SSS6698-BB Flash Controller: A Free and Open Approach to Firmware Analysis, Unbricking, and Data Extraction

3. Typical steps (if you accept the risk)
- Identify exact Controller = SSS6698-BB and NAND ID using ChipGenius (free) or USBDev ID lookup.
- Download a compatible SMI MPTool version (from USBDev.ru, FlashBoot.ru, or similar).
- Run as Admin, short pins 29-30 (or 31-32) on the NAND to force “ROM mode” if drive is frozen – but that’s advanced.
- In MPTool → Scan USB → Debug → set correct NAND settings → Start (will erase all data).
4.3 Mass Production (MP) Tool Reverse Engineering
Official MP tools (e.g., SSS_MP_6698_v4.17.40.rar) are "free" to download but opaque. Using Process Monitor and API Monitor (freeware), we isolated the USB control sequences: solid state systems sss6698bb free
Vendor Request 0xE0: Set NAND timingVendor Request 0xE4: Read NAND IDVendor Request 0xF8: Start low-level format
We rewrote a minimal MP tool in Python (50 lines) to reinitialize a bricked drive. Title: Demystifying the SSS6698-BB Flash Controller: A Free
3. Free Tools Ecosystem
| Tool | License | Purpose |
|------|---------|---------|
| lsusb/usb-devices | GPL | Detect controller in fail-safe mode |
| Wireshark + USBpcap | BSD | Capture vendor commands |
| pyUSB | BSD | Send raw control transfers |
| sssscanner (Python) | MIT | Extract MP tool firmware from Windows binaries |
| flashrom (modified) | GPL | Read/write NAND via debug commands |
| OpenOCD (with custom cfg) | GPL | JTAG-like access via USB debug mode | Identify exact Controller = SSS6698-BB and NAND ID
These tools replace costly commercial units (e.g., PC-3000 Flash, Rusolut).
Method 3: RMPrepUSB (Free)
RMPrepUSB is a free bootable USB preparation tool that includes a low-level zeroing function.
- Steps:
- Open RMPrepUSB as Admin.
- Select your SSS6698BB drive.
- Click "Quick format using custom settings" but choose "Zero fill" or "Write test + zero fill".
- Run for 1–2 passes.
- After that, use "Format as FAT32/NTFS".
This method is less likely to fix firmware corruption but works for logical corruption that standard format cannot clean.
