Too Many Bad Blocks
Nands are the same

I have try different USB reader and its the same.

I have try to make my own R/W reader, it reads fine but JR cant check it for badblock, and it wont write ECC to nand, so deside to buy the xecuter R/W thing but it gives me to many bad blocks.

I have read other treats about same problem but i dit not find a solution to this problem, hope some one have the magic fix for this problem.

I have only solder the R/W kit to the MB, i have check the solder point, i have bin soldering for over 15 years and i dont think its the soldering.

 

[stefanounick]

id rather pay attention to header is wrong message rather than the "bad blocks"
did you try to open the nand in a hex editor? (theres one in tools menu)

 

[Craps]

No have only try to get a good dump.

It all so fail to create ECC file.

But the dump i made with my own R/W i can make ECC file.

If i open the dump in hex from xecuter R/W it says in top

RGH2 2stage CB img, CB=13121

The dump i made with my own R/W it says Microsoft.

 

[Craps]

To me it looks like it have write some of the ECC file to the NAND even that it faild with my own R/W, and now when i try to read it with xecuter R/W it gives me Too Many Bad Blocks and Header is wrong..


What dos this mean ?

It's already unecc'd


If i turn the reader to XBOX and start it up its running ok.

 

[Craps]

ok i took the chance and flash back the first full dump i made with my own R/W

Now i can read the nand with no errors and bad blocks, i just dump 48mb files and create ECC and flash back to NAND

So now ill try to get it to glich on this.

 

[Craps]

Yes it is working :-D

Now i only need to tweek glitch time. (its about 10 Glitch atm.)

Thx for pointing me in the right direction :-D

Your header was wrong most likely because you flashed the .ecc file with the homemade programmer...So now that you were trying to read it with the original tx programmer/reader you were getting header error..This shows up when the nand only has ecc written to it, never seen this error otherwise.

Glad you got it sorted, the reader works great and is another superb product by tx
