how it work?
can you more Explain?(Simple Guide)

[zoom33]

to use nandway you need teensy interface and python installed on your computer

[furtsiv]

correct but to remap bad block you only need your dump and the script provided by effleurage.
i think the best way to get remapped bad blocks is to read/write the nand using usb drive , i think the controller in the usb drive is able to check bad blocks
we just need to make a list of usb drives controllers that support reading ps3 nands

you don't need the Teensy. you just need to install Pyton and and Pyton serial and use the script.

Also the method that i use will help peoples that can not install OtherOS++ patched PUP or can not use service mode to run Lv2diag.self that will fix RSOD.

@Abkarino do you fancy telling me how you fix without the patched pup or is would you prefer I research and work it out myself?

@Sarah1331 ,can u make a Video Tutorial that how Fix Bad Block with Hex ?

[zoom33]

what should i write in the prompt?

python nandway.py remapbadblocks ?
i mean how to tell nandway where is my dump
************* [ - Post Merged - ] *************
well well, i'm getting a headache with that so below is details about my ps3

PS3 cechg04 40 gb with samsung B's NAND
Top NAND has 3 bad block but only one is a real bad block ...
i checked modifying the block and i get error.

I patch my dumps and i get a brick
I remap my top nand and patched it and then write back to a zero bad block nand and i get brick

to be sure i write back my backup NAND ... i get it working.

Now i don't how to use nandway with my dumps to check if my manual remap is ok.

@zoom33

nandway.py remapbadblocks top_nand.bin new_nand.bin remapped_new_nand.bin
top_nand.bin is the NAND with the bad blocks on the top
new_nand.bin is any dump you have of the replacement top NAND.
remapped_new_nand.bin is the output that you should write to the new NAND.
what is does is to find all the bad blocks on top_nand.bin, find all the bad blocks in the new_nand.bin and create new file remapped_new_nand.bin which you should flash to your new NAND.

ok now i get it working and i have a remaped nand dump ... now let's try patch and write dump back to the nands

thanks a lot
