Internal Flash Failure
Posted: Fri Jul 20, 2012 4:09 am
Hi Guys, bit of a brief introduction....
I'm John, and if you can remember way back in the days of Tony Hoyle and the crew when we first started hacking the Joggler, I created a forum as if I remember correctly, one got shut down for using the O2 copyright name "Joggler" yadayadayada.
Anyway....
I've had my Joggler lying around for a while and occasionally tinker with it! - Well I was impressed when O2 gave up and allowed the OpenPeak default software to install.... after several frustrating hours of the O2 software not installing, I finally managed to re-image it with a fresh copy of O2, when-fore it happily installed the OpenPeak OS.... now after having it on for a short while, for some unknown reason, maybe a reboot or power cycle.....
The internal MMC is fried.....
So, I was wondering if anyone had any luck recovering one....
I've tried LOADS of things, including the BirdsLikeWires reflash tool, - which reports a dead Flash and also tried Zeroing the drive with IF and OF....
and tried with Gparted to no avail....
Therefore.... I was considering Baking it in the oven
Now I've baked a Playstation 3 in the oven before for recovery (which worked) - so was wondering if anyone else had gone to this extreme
Sorry for the long post, can't sleep. Been on the night shifts!
