I Need to Edit NAND Image to Fix Corrupt Profiles

[Atariwarrior]

My console failed AP25 challenge after I accidentally ran a backup with AP25 and the 2.0.12416.0 dashboard.

The console still works but now all the profiles on the HDD are corrupt when I try to use the hard drive on my other console. Also, any hard drive connected to it also has its profiles corrupted.

I installed a Nand-X by the solder method on my Zephyr motherboard and followed the tutorial by
M Azeem K ( http://www.team-xecuter.com/forums/showthread.php?t=59143 )

When I used findsecdata.exe the final message indicates that the old secdata.bin cannot be found:

[FONT=&quot]"Old secdata.bin not found. Console might be not banned, already patched or secdata.bin overwritten."[/FONT]


[FONT=&quot]How would I go about manually editing the current NAND image to remove the flag that corrupts the gamer profiles and then flashing it back?

don't think editing is an option, the actual file would be encrypted with the cpu key and to get this you need to run xell.

Are you sure you ran the Command Prompt in Administrator mode?

Yes. I ran again to make sure. This is what I got:

Can something be done with a hex editor to remove the flag?

Try using a non-Windows partition on your PC for this procedure.

I get the same result:

do you know how to uncorrupt profiles on your hard drive, there's a tutorial for doing but you must do it everytime after you use the flagged console. only takes a couple of minutes when you know how to do it. pain in the arse but you can still use the flagged console

you just gotta work out which profile is which and fix the right file- i do it all the time now , cause i'm trying to uncripple my banned console without much success

link is here : http://team-xecuter.com/forums/showthread.php?t=51662 definitely works if you do it properly

 

[Atariwarrior]

Thanks for the advice. I used Conflag and Hash Blocker to fix the profiles and ConSaver to fix all the game saves.

Yes. It is a pain to do this each time I use the banned console!
