it's recommended that if r8 doesn't work, you should try r7 (last time I checked).
I know I've seen a few posts regarding this issue but no solid answer..
I used UStealth a few years back and my drive still works with Wii and WII U however it's time to backup this drive before it dies.. The issue is that 1) UStealth v7 or v8 both see the drive status as 'Unknown' and don't touch it AND 2) USBToggle see's my device but says its not supported and makes no change
I haven't tried TestDisk because I haven't seen a success post about it and I don't want to lose my data trying to figure this out - has anyone confirmed TestDek works or found another solution/workaround for this?

you can unhide/hide manually.
unhide:
change last two bytes from 55AB to 55AA (respectively the last one from AB to AA)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_boot_record#Sector_layout (1FE & 1FF)
you can e.g. do with dd (on windows, linux or mac):
just ensure you use the correct drive (else you may "corrupt" your pc hd)
also ensure if you use dd that you dont truncate when writing back to the device
(dd for windows: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/USB_flash_installation_medium#dd_for_Windows)
hide:
vice versa

I wrote a CLI version of this for Linux users who aren't familiar with dd. I tested it with USB Loader GX and Nintendont, it seems to work fine. As with using dd, be careful not to give the program the wrong drive, it won't stop you from stealthing your primary drive. I'd also recommend making sure the drive isn't mounted, as I'm not sure how the kernel would react to that.
Example usage: List devices with lsblk, then give your usb to uustealth. In my case, my usb is /dev/sde, so I'd run "uustealth /dev/sde".
I'll attach a binary and the source code for those interested. Hope this helps someone

if someone prefers just the terminal, this line unhides:
printf "\xaa" | sudo dd of=block_device(*) seek=511 bs=1 conv=notrunc
this one hides:
printf "\xab" | sudo dd of=block_device(*) seek=511 bs=1 conv=notrunc
(*)e.g. /dev/sdc, whole device not partition like e.g. /dev/sdc1 !
printf "\xaa" | sudo dd of=block_device(*) seek=511 bs=1 conv=notrunc

you can also use dd for windows, you just need to copy the first 512 bytes from the usb device to the pc, change with regular hex ediotr and copy back.

ensure you use the right device and also maybe make either a backup (of your usb device) or do some sort of test before copying back. also ensure you dont mess up your pc hd

Okay so I tried Ustealth with another usb stick, and it works, they are both the same except that they have different mediatype, the one that works is external hard disk media, the one that doesn't is a removable media. Is there any way I can change their mediatype? (btw the one that worked is a 4gb usb stick and the one that didn't is a 64gb one.)
Can I have help for Ustealth?
I know that it's probably my fault but I don't know what I did wrong but when I tried to hide my USB it worked but I can't show it again? Can anyone help please on how to show it again? A video would be nice too please? It's a Kingston G4 Data Traveler 64 GB Drive
