Sss6697 B7 Usb Mass Storage Work Portable [SAFE]

The SSS6697 B7 is a USB mass storage controller chip manufactured by Solid State Systems (SSS), frequently found in Kingston and Toshiba flash drives. If your device is not working, it is likely due to corrupted firmware or a "no media" error, which standard Windows formatting cannot fix. Troubleshooting & Repair Guide 1. Basic Driver Reset

Sometimes the issue is with how Windows recognizes the device rather than the chip itself.

Update Drivers: Open Device Manager, expand Universal Serial Bus controllers, right-click USB Mass Storage Device, and select Update driver.

Power Management: In the same properties menu, go to the Power Management tab and uncheck "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power".

Uninstall & Reconnect: Right-click the device in Device Manager, select Uninstall device, unplug the drive, and restart your computer. Windows will reinstall the driver automatically upon reconnection. 2. Clear Write Protection (Diskpart) How To Fix A USB Mass Storage Device Problem - Quick Help sss6697 b7 usb mass storage work

Method B: The Dedicated Tool – "MPtool" (Mass Production Tool)

This is the specific solution for SSS6697-B7. You cannot use a generic USB formatter. You need the 3S USB Mass Production Tool.

What you need:

Step-by-Step:

  1. Disable Driver Signature Enforcement (Windows 10/11): The SSS6697 B7 is a USB mass storage

    • Restart your PC.
    • Press Shift + Restart → Troubleshoot → Advanced Options → Startup Settings → Restart.
    • Press F7 (Disable driver signature enforcement).
    • Note: You must do this every time you run the tool.

  2. Download the Correct MPtool.

    • Search for SSS6697-B7 MPtool v2.173.rar.
    • Extract the folder to C:\MPTool (Avoid Desktop; long file paths cause errors).

  3. Configure the Tool:

    • Run MPTool.exe as Administrator.
    • Click "Setting" (Password is usually 123456 or 320).
    • Go to "Scan Setting" → Set to "Normal Mode."
    • Go to "Partition Setting" → Ensure "Format" is checked.
    • Go to "LED Setting" (Optional but useful for debugging).
    • Most Important: Under "Controller," manually select SSS6697-B7. If it is not listed, you have the wrong version.

  4. Run the Process:

    • Click "Start" or "Space Start."
    • The bar should turn Yellow (Downloading firmware), then Green (Success).

  5. Post-Success:

    • Unplug the USB drive.
    • Wait 10 seconds.
    • Plug it back in. Windows should detect a fresh USB mass storage device.

3. Low-Level Format / Reflash

Typical steps:

  1. Extract the MP tool (run as Administrator).
  2. Load the correct INI config file (e.g., SSS6697-B7-Toshiba.ini).
  3. Click Start or Format.
  4. Wait for “Pass” or “OK”.

After reflash, the drive will be reset to a single partition with proper mass storage firmware.

2. Scenario: The Drive is Not Working (Not Detected)

If your USB drive is plugged in but does not show up in "My Computer" or "This PC," or it shows up with 0 bytes capacity, the controller has likely lost its configuration or the flash memory is corrupted.

Step 1: Check Device Identification Before you can fix it, you need to confirm the controller details. Speed : Typically reads at ~15–25 MB/s, writes

  1. Download and run a free tool called ChipGenius or Flash Drive Information Extractor.
  2. Plug in the problematic USB drive.
  3. Look for the "Controller Vendor" and "Controller Part-Number."
    • It should read: SSS (Solid State System)
    • Part-Number: SSS6697 / TC58NC6690
    • Firmware: B7 (or similar).

Step 2: Finding the Repair Software To make the drive "work" again, you generally need to perform a "Mass Production" (MP) process. This low-level formats the drive and rewrites the firmware.
