x360 NAND Dump Checker v1.0 released
>> Checks your Xbox 360 NAND dump for ECC errors.

Swizzy has released a new app dedicated to JTAG/RGH XBOX 360 consoles. This one will assure you have a valid NAND dump.

Xbox-Scene


x360 NAND Dump Checker by Swizzy, allows you to check each page of your Xbox 360 NAND dump for ECC errors...

[QUOTE]
It does this by calculating the ECC data and comparing it to the one stored in spare. It'll tell you if it finds what it believes to be a badblock (if there is no ECC data stored in spare it'll assume it's a badblock).

Includes GUI and command line version of the tool along with source code.
Requirements: Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 or later.
[/QUOTE]

Information:

[QUOTE]
Verbosity level 0 = Normal, default level, only prints badblock info for each block and most errors/warnings
Verbosity level 1 = Medium, prints all bad pages and all errors/warnings
Verbosity level 2 = Full, prints ECC information for each page bad, and page status…
Verbosity level 3 = Debug, prints information of each page and more…
[/QUOTE]

That's right, there are two versions a CLI (Command Line Interface) and a GUI one.

[QUOTE]
CLI version:

Usage:

dumpchecker file [switch [switch]...]

Example:
dumpchecker flashdmp.bin -full -v 1

Switches:
-full : Check ALL pages of the nand (only for 256/512MB Jaspers)
-noenter : Suppresses prompt for enter key when finnished
-v : Set verbosity level, valid levels: 0, 1, 2 and 3
-? : Shows this information
[/QUOTE]

Squirter.exe Source Code released by the Squirt360 Team
>> SW that allows the reading/writting of the X360 NAND with the FTDI chip.

The Squirt360 Team has released the Source Code for their NAND Dumper module and application. Full details inside!

Xbox-Scene


The Squirt360 Team has released the full Source Code and Datasheet of SQUIRTER.EXE, the Xbox 360 NAND dumper based on a FTDI chip.

Check out their official statement:

[QUOTE]
Dear Users,

Today we like to share with the community the source code of SQUIRTER.EXE, the software that allow the reading / writting of the X360 NAND with the FTDI SQUIRTER PROGRAMMER.

Is important to note that SQUIRTER PROGRAMMER doesn't use any "proprietary" IC, The FT2232H is FTDI’s 5th generation of USB devices. The FT2232H is a USB 2.0 High Speed (480Mb/s) to UART/FIFO IC. It has the capability of being configured in a variety of industry standard serial or parallel interfaces.

Here the DATASHEET: http://www.squirt360.com/downloads/FT2232HQ-R-FTDI.pdf

Here the SQUIRT PROGRAMMER schematic and PCB layout (very important to understand where we connected all the I/O of FTDI chip)
http://www.squirt360.com/downloads/S...RAMMER-PCB.pdf

With this preamble is clear that FTDI IC is a nice platform to develop new nices tools for the community (POST BUS SNIFFER, PARALLEL PROGRAMMER / READER) etc... We hope that our source code is a good point to start to show developer how to use this nice cheaper device.

Important notes on the source code:

• The commands to manage the SPI communication was developed looking on the "clone" of NANDPRO that work on a PIC IC https://github.com/gligli/tools/tree/master/picflash
• The recognize of the TYPE of the NAND FLASH and the ECC algorithm was taken here: http://code.google.com/p/freestyleda...c=svn172&r=172
• Some parts of the code include examples provided from FTDI to improve the communication speed
• All the documentation of FTDI component used in our SQUIRTER project can be found here http://www.ftdichip.com/Products/ICs/FT232H.htm

So, there you go. Download the full SOURCE CODE & LICENSE from HERE!
