Can I do this on NTG7? My hard drive is broken and I need to replace it.
 
NTG7 has EMMC memory, you will need other tools to read and recover it.
 
Many thanks to dizel088 for all the support in repairing HU6.

I have W213 on MB logo, according to the article I pulled out the faulty hard drive and tried to fix it with Victoria but no luck.
Now I have a new regular SSD, I want to replace the old HDD with it.
I think I need to clone the old one, but I'm afraid the data on the old one will be corrupted.
Is there any help?
 
Your old disk will not work, you need to burn a new image to it.
 
You can try to recover it, including all useful data, to SSD. If your MBUX system boots normally again, you're in luck. If that doesn't help, you'll need a new image that you copy to the SSD.

You can then perform a firmware update using XENTRY or DTS Monaco and update the maps if necessary. This will allow you to recover any data that may have been damaged.

I'm just checking SSDs. What drives or capacities are recommended? Would a 512 GB drive be suitable as a replacement for a 320 GB drive?
 
Yes, it will work if the capacity is at least the same. I've written a new image to an SSD many times.

I replaced my HU6 Mid with a used HU6 High, set the PIN code, and the radio worked (CarPlay, AA, and navigation maps are unavailable). I took the car to Mercedes for coding, and now MBUX is stuck on the Mercedes logo. I launched my copy of XENTRY and saw this.

I removed the hard drive and followed the steps described in the guide by dizel088. The drive was readable without any bad sectors (I ran tests), but Victoria SSD/HDD shows it's not perfect. I was able to create a RAW image of the drive using FTK Imager.

Every time I update Victoria, the number of UltraDMA CRC errors increases, so I bought a new Samsung EVO870 500 GB SSD drive. Now I would like to know which option would be best for me:

1. Obtain the disk image for HU6 and write it to a new SSD, then update the firmware and obtain the SCN from Mercedes.
2. Copy the HDD to the new SSD, then update the firmware and SCN from Mercedes.
 
I don't recommend using an image from your hard drive. You need an image of a new drive. Coding has nothing to do with the hard drive.
