Full Firmware Image?

[CyberAxe]

is it possible to make an img file of a working nand then flash it onto another gp2x?

ie name the image gp2xfile.img then it can be loaded at the start from sd card

as my gp2x is still bricked and my bloody serial cable still hasnt arrived yet and i'm sick not being able to play on my gp2x

ugh

dd if=/dev/mtdblock3 of=/mnt/sd/gp2xfile.img bs=1024
or something very simmilar.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

You can't dd jffs2. Use DJWillis's guide, you have to flash from the bootloader.

In either direction mate

Theres data stored in the oob area that dd doesn't catch.


You could tar the os image, install cramfs (or boot with root-on-sd), format a fresh jffs2 partition and untar onto it.
