FALCON CR4XL Falcon Bad block @ 000B , can't boot xell

[Bong420]

I am having issues and I am sure its related to the bad block. The bad block is block B on the Falcon nand.

I have tried to use Martin's guide to bad block remapping and have no success with that.

Console worked fine and was on dash 14719 prior to starting working on it. Green debug light blinks every few seconds. Have tried using martins bad block remap guide and different settings on the chip with no luck. Every falcon I have done with CR4 yet boot on 3 and 7.

I also noticed that it only gave me an error on block B when reading but not writing.

Try the demon/fusion function when writing the ECC, it's in the advanced menu I think.

So load the ECC and choose that option., and it should remap the bad block.

Tried it and didnt work.

Restored back to stock 14719 and then updated to the latest dashboard.

Reread the NAND again, then wrote it the way you said too and booted right to xell!

Thanks

I think it was the bootloader or something, because the versions changed when I updated to latest dash. Must have to be on a further dash than 14719 to use this chip perhaps?

The issue was not the bootloader but the efuses on the CPU.

As stated in the guide, RJTAG requires 15574 or higher.

Yes, to use rjtag u need to be on dash 15572 or above.
Jsinger47 beat me to it.

Didn't even noticed that only that the bad block wasn't remapped.

Not when xell was written

All I seen in the sticky post for the phat guide was said you could be on the latest dashboard. Searched 15574 in the post and didnt see it anyways so I didnt misread. I figured it might be the problem that the dashboard was too low by myself but I appreciate everyone's help.
