I do not remember the location on the disc from the top of my head. One more point: If I remember correctly, pickel checks and writes 5 bytes, the first 4 being just to verify the 4 byte is correct.

Edit: I found my notes. On the touch the values then were (doing 5 reboots without nickel):

8DEF02D200
1BDF05A501
A18E0C3C02
37BE0B4B03
73686F7504

The position is 1E9 of the user partition.
