How to Fix Fake USB Drives with Alcor USB Flash Drive Tools
Have you ever bought a USB flash drive that claimed to have a large capacity, but turned out to be fake? Fake USB drives are often sold online with manipulated firmware that makes them appear larger than they really are. When you try to store more data than the actual capacity, you may encounter errors, corruption, or data loss.
Fortunately, there is a way to fix fake USB drives and restore them to their original capacity. You can use Alcor USB Flash Drive Tools, a set of utilities that can detect and repair USB flash drives with Alcor controllers. Alcor controllers are commonly used in many USB flash drives, especially those from Transcend and Kingston.
In this article, we will show you how to use Alcor USB Flash Drive Tools to fix fake USB drives. Before you proceed, please note that this process will erase all data on your USB flash drive, so make sure you have a backup of your important files. Also, this process may not work for all fake USB drives, so use it at your own risk.
Step 1: Identify your USB flash drive controller
The first step is to identify the controller model of your USB flash drive. This will help you choose the right tool for your device. You can use a free software called ChipGenius to find out the controller information of your USB flash drive. You can download ChipGenius from here[^1^].
After downloading ChipGenius, unzip it and run it as administrator. Then plug in your USB flash drive and wait for it to be detected by ChipGenius. You should see something like this:
Device Name: +[G:]+USB Mass Storage Device(Kingston DataTraveler 2.0)
PnP Device ID: VID = 058F PID = 6387
Serial Number: 5&&3A4B9F0&&0&&1
Revision: 8.07
Device Type: Standard USB device - USB2.0 High-Speed
Chip Vendor: Alcor(??)
Chip Part-Number: AU6989SN-GT/GTA/GTB - F/W FF05
Product Vendor: Kingston
Product Model: DataTraveler 2.0
Tools on web: http://dl.mydigit.net/special/up/alcor.html
The information you need is the VID (Vendor ID), PID (Product ID), and Chip Part-Number. In this example, the VID is 058F, the PID is 6387, and the Chip Part-Number is AU6989SN-GT/GTA/GTB.
Step 2: Download the appropriate Alcor tool
The next step is to download the appropriate Alcor tool for your controller model. You can find a list of Alcor tools on this website[^2^]. You need to match the VID, PID, and Chip Part-Number with the supported chips of each tool.
In this example, we can use AlcorMP AU698x RT v1.0.0.14 L0117[^2^], which supports AU6989SN-GT/GTA/GTB among other chips. You can download it from here[^2^]. After downloading it, unzip it and run it as administrator.
Step 3: Scan and repair your USB flash drive
The final step is to scan and repair your USB flash drive using the Alcor tool. Plug in your USB flash drive and wait for it to be detected by the tool. You should see something like this:
Device Name : Kingston DataTraveler 2.0
VID : 058F PID : 6387
Flash ID Code : ADDE94EB - Hynix - 1CE/Single Channel [MLC-8K] -> Total Capacity = 64GB
Tools Version : v1.0.0.14 L0117
If you see a message like "Please insert disk into drive", it means that your USB flash drive is not recognized by the tool or has a different controller model. In that case, you may need to try another tool or another method.
If you see your device information correctly, click on "Start" to begin the scan and repair process. The 061ffe29dd
