ANSWERED Bad Blocks Found (safe to proceed)?

[pudinkk]

Hey guys far as I have learned from the fiB3r's guide these bad blocks should not be a problem as they do not seem to be in the first 50 blocks,but wanted you guys check it out just to be super sure.


thanks

use j-runner and if it not in that first 50 block where the ecc file goes then ,it will be ok to proceed !

I know the process and how it works,i am just asking the experienced members here if the blocks seem to be fine just to be sure that I am not missing anything.thanks though

As far as i know you write xell to the first 50 (HEX) blocks of the nand which involves block 0 to 4F.

As far as I see in your picture there are two blocks in this range that are bad:
4B & 4C
but I also see that these blocks are found at block 3FE and 3FF so I don't know exactly how to process.

I think they need to be remapped but better wait for a confirmation of a more skilled user :rolleyes2:

J-Runner will automatically re-map any bad blocks found in the XeLL region before creating an ECC image.

thanks while I was looking through the jrunner tutorial i came by that even if the bad blocks are in the first 50 jrunner remaps .
Damn jrunner works wonders.

One last question though.This slim had a VIRGIN OFW dg16d4s fw 0225 drive in it and I updated the console without the dvd drive hooked up.Does it cause the dvd drive any problems because I know that some updates change the fw of the drive ,so wanted to ask to be sure.That silly drive has a winbond chip on it(lucky one escaped from me,if it was mxic I would've totally nailed that)

0225 is fine. You won't have any issues with it on that firmware.
