In the world of USB mass storage controllers, few names are as ubiquitous yet as cryptic as Alcor Micro. For technicians specializing in flash drive recovery, low-level formatting, or PID/VID customization, the string "alcor+mp+200717+install" represents a specific, critical junction. This combination of keywords points directly to a particular firmware version (200717) of the Alcor MP (Mass Production) tool.
If you are staring at a bricked USB drive, dealing with a “Write Protect” error that won’t go away, or trying to resurrect an old 2.0 or 3.0 flash drive, you have likely landed here. This article will walk you through the exact installation process, driver configuration, and operational nuances of the Alcor MP tool dated 200717.
What this guide covers:
In some versions (like the 200717 build), the software includes a driver folder. If the tool does not detect your USB drive initially:
In the radio control hobbyist community, the "Multi-Protocol" (often abbreviated as MP or MPM) revolution allowed a single transmitter to control dozens of different model types (drones, cars, planes) from various brands (FrSky, FlySky, Hubsan, Syma, etc.) using a single radio module.
The reference "200717" refers to a specific nightly or stable build date (July 17, 2020) of the Multi-Protocol firmware. The "Alcor" typically refers to the FlySky FS-i6X transmitter’s internal RF module hardware (often labeled as the Alcor module on the PCB) or a specific aftermarket replacement module compatible with FlySky hardware. alcor+mp+200717+install
This write-up details the objective, the process, and the challenges of flashing the 200717 MP build onto the Alcor hardware.
AlcorMP 200717 supports dual-partition mode (USB-CD + normal flash).
Warning: This mode is permanent on some AU698x chips until re-flashed with a clean firmware.
If you meant to inquire about installing Alcor with a specific configuration or toolset on July 17, 2007, or a similarly formatted query:
"I'm looking to install Alcor, referenced as alcor+mp+200717+install, and I'm not sure where to start. Does anyone have a guide on how to set this up, especially if it involves integrating with MP?" In the world of USB mass storage controllers,
AlcorMP 20.07.17 is a specific version of a Mass Production (MP) tool used to repair or reflash USB flash drives that use Alcor Micro
controllers (such as the AU6989SN-GT). These tools are typically used when a drive becomes "Write Protected," shows "No Media," or has a capacity of "0 bytes". Installation and Setup Guide Identify the Controller : Before running the tool, use a diagnostic utility like ChipGenius
to confirm your USB drive uses an Alcor Micro controller. Each flash drive requires a specific tool version based on its controller part number and Flash ID. Download and Unzip
