Is there a way out of this? com.apple.diskmanagement.disenter error 0

It's been a while, about 9 months, since my 2tb external HDD got corrupted when it accidentally unplugged thanks to it's wobbly cable. It has always been like that since I bought it in 2014 and never had a problem with it before, also the drive came formated to NFTS as intented to be used as my Time Machine. During this time, the unit has always been detected by the Mac and other PCs, the HDD doesn't do any weird noises and acts just as normal. In this time I've tried some methods that can just be summed up in just 3:

  1. Using Disk Utility's Main options: First aid, partition, erase and restore being futile but just dropping the diagnosis of the error in question com.apple.diskmanagement.disenter error 0 .
  2. Accessing the root user and editing in terminal the path being shown in this tutorial. While being a well elaborated tut, it didn't solve my problem.
  3. Using photorec and testdisk. Of course, first installing the Unix libraries that Mac OS lacks, to have the programs work properly. Again, my external unit was detected but I wasn't able to do anything at all after that.

Of course, i've tried forcing mount and unmount with all privileges but this issue i am having can't be solve that way. I've seen in some Apple dedicated forums, including the official one that this has been a problem since the Catalina update, which is the one I'm using and in which the com.apple.diskmanagement.disenter error 0 happened to me. I had luck in this forum with my previous problem and i hope this awesome community knows a way out of this error that is entirely Apple's responsibility.

 

Happy Holidays!
