[SOLVED]data error (cyclic redundancy check) --- Corona ECC write

hello tx long time no see.I'm trying to rgh my corona v4/v5? (not winchester) - 4gb onboard mui have a homemade usb reader and successfully dumped nand (48mb in size)what is the next step? I failed to write ecc to board with data error as said in title. I have nothing bridged, is that required as stated in the guides? (i thought it needs to be bridged to boot xell, not write ecc)tried power cycles and 3 different readers.- and Y3C1 is connected to groundback in the day you would read nand, write ecc, install your chip then boot. - do i need to have my cr4 installed to write the ecc?also, cr4 is pre programmed right?thanks for reading

SUCCESS!!! Successfully booted into xell and grabbed key. For those with similar issues (data error) all I did was a power cycle about 6-7 times and it finally wrote to flash. Keep Jrunner open throughout this process and keep pressing write like 3 times before a new cycle

ALSO:
(I was able to connect the POST OUT without the adapter!----- I literally shoved a wire into the 4th pin and held my iron against the wire until it stuck. Not a sure sound way but it worked!
