Comprehensive Guide: SSS6698-BB Format Tool

Step 1: Identify the Drive and Controller (Double-Check)

Even if you think it's an SSS6698BB, verify using ChipGenius (Windows) or lsusb (Linux). This tool will show:

• Controller Vendor: Skymedi
• Controller Part-No: SSS6698BB
• Flash ID: (e.g., 0x2C, 0x64 – important for later)

Step 3: Settings Configuration (The Critical Part)

1. Click the Setting button (or password icon). The password is usually blank or 320 or 1111. Try blank first.
2. Go to the Capacity tab:
   • Check Auto Detect for NAND.
   • Or, manually set to 16GB if your drive was 16GB.
3. Go to the Format tab:
   • Low Level Format: CHECK this box.
   • File System: FAT32 (for compatibility) or NTFS (for large files).
   • Volume Label: Give it a name.
4. Go to the Firmware tab:
   • Ensure the tool has pre-loaded the correct ISP (Initial Startup Program). If the field is empty, this is the wrong tool version for your specific NAND chip.

If drive is still dead:

• Controller chip may be physically damaged. No software will recover it.
• Some SSS6698-BB drives have short-pin recovery (short two specific NAND pins to enter factory mode). This is advanced – search for "SSS6698-BB short pin recovery" if you are experienced with electronics.
