Bad Key/KV

[DelinQuent]

I've done a lot of googling and forum searching on this, found nothing.

I've dumped my nand 7 times now, all have 0 mismatching blocks. All read with 1B5 being a bad block. All read a bad key/kv.

Tried to use Degraded 1.1b to remap the block. However, upon opening any of the nand.bin files in degraded, it proceeds to crash. No error about reading the file. I even checked via a hex editor about the copyright info, it all checks out.

I am using a Nand-X.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

have you made sure to open the settings and input the 1BL key and file start number in Degraded?

Thanks for the quick reply!

I have indeed entered the 1BL key and set the file start to 39.

The error with Degraded is a Windows error stating that Degraded MFC Application has stopped working. Then, you can either check for a solution or close the program.

I've tried XP SP2 compatibility mode, fails as well.

I've used the Jtag Tool to remap the bad blocks successfully, as far as I know, anyway.

Still getting "Bad Key/KV"

I've also attempted from another computer as well.

This console has no history, the DVD drive wasn't even flashed.


EDIT:I've discovered my problem. I was reading so well, that I was skipping steps.

After becoming frustrated, I decided to start from the top again. Instead of worrying about the bad KV error, I flashed xell, and got the key from there. Then created my freeboot bin, flashed it. Wouldn't boot to the dash. Then, I remembered I had a bad block, remapped, reflashed, SUCCESS!

Thanks again for the reply.
