Bricked?

[Minkoff]

Well, I just ran Robster's utility and I'm pretty sure I'm bricked. Being an idiot, I didn't use the NAND tester before running the flashing utility, and naturally, my NAND had a bad block or something and it died on me at 72%.

Since UBoot is working (I do get the black screen with the GP2X logo in the middle), and assuming that all that got screwed up was the kernel, could I just grab a firmware-update-approved SD card and update the normal way?

EDIT: Well, that's what it looks like. I'll report back later.

EDIT 2: Looks like some people who ran the test are having the same problem (block 16). It makes me feel less stupid, but I still have a brick.

dont feel that bad i ran the tester and it failed anyway

now im looking for a card that the gp2x recognises to try and de-brick it :/

yes, you should be able to unbrick with a working sd card.

its the working sd card thats the problem ... any brands that are 100% reliable? cant really afford many more than the 2 i already have that dont work :/
