I've just installed a CR w/ QSB into a jasper phat. The nand is a hynix hy27us08281a. I have not programmed the glitcher or r/w the nand. From what I've read, the way to identify which nand is by booting into the dash and checking the details of the memory module. Is it safe/possible to boot into the dash under the above conditions?...or better yet, can anyone tell me based on the information on the chip? Thank you in advance!

Agreed with Bruno.
Most of the consoles I've ever worked on are Hynix (All for 16MB)
Your big block consoles I do believe are all Samsung.
Again, this isn't something that I routinely document, but just from memory, I can only recall Samsun being the big block NAND chips onboard the motherboard.
Hynix may very well make a 64MB NAND chip, but I am not sure if Microsoft contracted them for purchase of if they stuck with Samsung as their supplier during the Jasper BB era.
But if you are really that curious, just boot to the dashboard, go to System Settings > Memory > _______
If it has onboard memory, you've got a Big Block, if not, you've got a small block. The good thing is, there's not gray area with this, either there is onboard memory or there isn't.
If it does have onboard memory, dump your NAND and see what your config is.. (Or just check in System Settings > Memory ... and see what memory it has)

the easiest way is to use XNandhealer and hit the detect button before dumping.
I have had 256 and 512 jaspers whose MUs did not show up in System Settings...I am sure that has been the case with some posters here who just dumped 16mb instead of 64 and wondered why their jasper wouldn't glitch.

It was indeed the 16mb nand. The install went without a hitch. I'm looking forward to running some homebrew, soon. Thanks again for the responses to my noob questions...and thanks to Team Xecuter for their development and thorough testing.
I would Like to say thanks to chkennedy for starting a help thread that also answered some questions I had.

If you choose not to read my roadmap for noobs sticky then you will experience confusion at least once. It's all in there, folks.
Thank you for the road-map. I read it, along with several other guides. Somehow I overlooked this line: "nandpro usb: -r1 test." It wasn't an issue of choosing to read it or not to read it. Again, thank you. It was helpful.
