Firmware Upgrades

Yeah, I read like yesterday that they had changed it so the NAND was not accessable for users.

​

Yeah, but you can still write to it, just if you write more than it can hold you can brick the GP2x.

​

You guys are confusing me

You make no sence... How can it be locked and not at the same time? :rolleyes:

I think this issue in particular needs clarification BEFORE someone accidentally turns their unit into an attractive paperweight. We need ACTUAL facts on this.

Firmware/Linux = Blocked access to NAND.
Bypass firmware, directly accessing the hardware =Nothing's blocked.

It is not a hardware difference, but a software one. Flashing your firmware deals with the hardware, not software. You can brick your GP2X by flashing improperly, though I'm sure there're workarounds.
