I'm not sure why I needed to create the symlink for /dev/secbulk0, but dnw works after I created the link.
At this point, I'm uncertain as to what to do next. RandomInsano's approach for fixing the kernel was to modify the memory at 0x31000000 and then use nandw to update flash at 0x80000. However, the kernel was only ~1MB in size.
I think I'm trying to repair mtdblock6 which lives in flash at:
0x0a4c0000-0x40000000 : "other"
I have NickE's image file of mtblock6 which is 836MB in size. I don't want to mess things up, now that I've gotten this far.
Should I be using loadu or loadum? What memory address/flash address should I be using?
Thanks
