  You changed the original flash chip on another flash chip with bigger capacity – 32GB and performed the restore operation, using recovery file (Repair File), which has been created on a similar device with 16GB flash memory size.

  Note: Not all versions of firmware support repartition/resize operation.
  
  To perform Resize/Repartition do the following:
  - Connect device via eMMC
  - Go to «eMMC service» tab
  - Press «Resize/Repartition» button
  - Press «Autorepartition» button - software will perform Resize/Repartition operation with the real (maximum available) flash size
  - Or press «Set size» button - software will perform Resize/Repartition operation with custom size, which you have set in bytes
  - After «Resize/Repartition» ends make Factory Data reset from phone Settings.
  
  
• Released ADB tool - possibility to read flash via ADB interface!

  - Root device
  - Turn on USB Debugging Mode in the menu of the device
  - Install necessary ADB drivers
  - Select «ABD» interface in the software
  - Press «Connect» button in the software to connect device via ADB and read device info
  
  After successfully connection you will able to:
  - Read necessary device partitions (software will automatically detect the device partitions, if they are not damaged or partition table is present).
  You can read selected partitions into «*.mpt» file or into separate binary («*.bin») files (just select «Read each partition into separate binary («*.bin») file» option in the software before read).
  - Read Full Flash.
  - Read custom flash (with size that you required).

Please pay attention! As you may have noticed, there is a minor issue with early Medusa PRO boxes firmware update. For those who have troubles with updating their box firmware version to 1.11 we introduce the so called "compatibility mode" - possibility to use all the latest software versions with old box firmware, but sacrificing some firmware-based improvements.

When you run software 1.2.0 for the first time it will attempt to update your box firmware to 1.11 if needed. If it fails to do so you will see "box status: not found" message.

To switch the software to "compatibility mode" do the following:
1. Close Medusa PRO software
2. Reconnect the box
3. Launch 1.2.0 software again

Also, keep in mind that non-updatable boxes are covered with warranty and entitled for replacement by authorized resellers.
And those who just intends a purchase - ask your reseller to update box firmware before shipping for your own peace of mind.
