I’ve search around and found nothing on how to get a clean debian or anything on this device or a way to unbrick.
MPW’s firmware source code is available from WD Downloads. I failed to tune it completly and found an easier way for my purpose but you can try yourself.
I suppose SD recovering won’t work without related software. But I see no obstacles to use the same procedures in Gentoo. You’ll just need to tune them yourself.
If you don’t care about your warranty, you can open the MPW case and take the HDD itself from the case and treat it as usual HDD (e. g. make an image and so on) and even try your ideas with another HDD first. But I’d prefer a soft way.
