| SEM-001 | 2x Samsung K9F1G08UOА-PIB0 | Yes | Yes | dodther : CECHG / SEM-001 read\write NAND fine. used progskeet and 110819 software and dual NAND boardtraces by jestero |
| SEM-001 | 2x Samsung K9F1G08UOB-PIB0 | |||
| SEM-001 | 2x Samsung K9F1G08UOB-PIB0 | Yes | No | sel99 : CECHG / SEM-001 - 1-875-384-31 - can dump both NANDs fine, have trouble writing. both with Infectus and Progskeet. Boards below CECHG / SEM-001 flash fine. |
| SEM-001 | 2x Samsung K9F1G08UOB-PIB0 | Yes | No | delsol : SEM-001 - 1-875-384-31 - dump both NANDs fine, still not able to reflash the nands correctly. there are always differences. Tried with Infectus. |
| DIA-001 | 1x Spansion S29GL128N90TFIR2 | |||
| DIA-001 | 1x Spansion S29GL128N90TFIR2 | Yes | No | delsol : flasher still freeze at sector0 (A&B) dumping seems to works (A&B). Same result with and without resistors. Tried on winxp-sp2 and win7. // The best results i got was using the 9k & 100k resistors. the flash is unuseable but ProgSkeet_110819 doesen´t freeze anymore. // I have tried Teensy and NORway0.3: dumping of nor works fine, but everytime when i tried to flash, the pc loose usb-connection to Teensy |
| DIA-002 | 1x Spansion S29GL128N90TFIR2 | |||
| VER-001 | 1x Spansion S29GL128P90TFIR2 | Yes | Yes | kado : Downgrading 3.70 to 3.55 success with progskeet (differ ON, No special trick) |
| VER-001 | 1x Samsung K8Q2815UQB-PI4B | |||
| VER-001 | 1x Samsung K8Q2815UQB-PI4B | Yes | Yes | calimba : downgrade successful with progskeet on VER-001 CECHL01 with QT port. if the program 110819 freeze you need flash first the file with the qt port. |
| VER-001 | 1x Samsung K8Q2815UQB-PI4B | Yes | Yes | Ir0nmanNB : Used all gnds listed on the diagram. Used 3.3V pull-up, also had R7 with switch AND R8 bridged. Disconnect USB from PC and with R7 open turn PS3 on, count to 20 and close R7 then plug in USB to PC. Then open up WinSkeet4000 and write. Use 110819 for the early sectors if they fail to write, using 4/4096, differential, alternate, verify, and byteswap. Then try again with Winskeet4000, using Samsung preset then go to NOR tab and change it to 128/128. |
| VER-001 | 1x Samsung K8Q2815UQB-PI4B | Yes | Yes | Ryd3R : Starting from NORway v0.4 Beta W/R fully supported ) . |
| VER-001 | 1x Spansion S29GL128P90TFIR2 | Yes | No | toxie : tried 128k/128 , 4k/4096. writing without alt. all FF, with alt some random patterns with 00 and FF when writing all 00. Trying A/B trick, still at Programming Sector 0 |
| VER-001 | 1x Spansion S29GL128N90TFIR2 | Yes | No | ares : tried 128k/128. With normal method a lot ff and same byte match. With alternate method 00 and ff and some byte match. Without resistor trick programmer freeze programming sector 0. with 100k and 9k resistor i can write but with errors (programmer completes the write, but the dump is all 00 ff, only few byte match, this with alternatemethod). with a/b tick's programmer (version A and B ) it freeze on programming sector 0 (both with or without resistors) |
| DYN-001 | 1x Samsung K8Q2815UQB-PI4B | Yes | Yes | marlboro12 : succeed downgrade with blackcat scheme. flasher 110819, 4/4096 all option checked. divide .bin in two equals files. first flash sector 0->2047 with any modification and without power cycle, just unplug usb and reload 110819, flash second file with resistor 10K btw a22_NOR and 3.3V. |
| DYN-001 | 1x Samsung K8Q2815UQB-PI4B | Yes | No | yrr : tried 128k/128 , 4k/4096, WinSkeet40000,ProgSkeet_110819. It writes ok till sector 64(128k/128) or 08004D0xH in the dump file. From that point on no changes. No write no erase. Tried also the 10k/100k resistor trick. All the same result. |

Résumé:
- PS3 slim CECH-2004A (DYN-001 et Samsung NOR)
- OFW 3.70
- Progskeet (dernier pilote)
- Flasher 110819 et Winskeet4000 (dernière version)
Installation du progskeet avec les documentations trouvées sur ps3devwiki.
Dump réussi sans problème.
Lors du flash, avec la première version de transplante, j'ai eu un échec.
Ensuite impossible de réécrire avec le dump original.
Impossible de flasher la NOR avec le dump modifié par la deuxième version du patch de dospierda.
Ir0nman m'a conseillé de ponter R8 et de mettre en place une résistance de 10Kohms entre le 3.3V et RDY et une de 100Kohms entre le RDY du progskeet et celui de la NOR. Cela a semblé fonctionner mieux.
Ensuite Ir0nman m'a conseillé de mettre directement la résistance de 10Kohms entre R8, qui est ponté, et RDY du progskeet. Cela m'a permis de réécrire le dump original et récupérer ma PS3 en OFW 3.70.
Lorsque j'ai fait un dump, il est identique à celui d'origine.

Teensy
<jevin> nikitis, want to work tonight on getting samsung support working w/ teesny? <jevin> ive got a hack to get around the different block sizes throughout the chip: just chip erase the whole thing <jevin> and that chip erase is actually 2 chip erases, one with a22 low and one with a22 high (internally there are 2 8MB nor dies) <jevin> then when flashing you cant use the write buffer command (there is no buffer) <jevin> and have to instead use slower unlocked programming <jevin> nikitis, ive had my teensy soldered up for nearly a week in the hopefully new, emi-proof location but havent hacked up the mobo shield to make it actually fit. i should try it tonight to see if it works
Progskeet
<kado> i confirm PROGSKEET HARDWARE is STABLE than other programer (teensy,etc) <kado> the only problem is from flasher <kado> especially for Spansion 'N' & SAMSUNG <kado> i tested the winskeet but still not working well for those <eussNL> ok, did it use A22 virtual chip #CE correct in your observations kado ? <kado> actually no euss <eussNL> shame <kado> all flasher should be focus on SB_tristae, reset <eussNL> so it was low all the time (virtual chip select 1) ? <kado> and for spansion should be focus on those + #WP <kado> and i am sure it could be emulated by flasher it self ;) <eussNL> sure, not a problem to change the way controllines are used <eussNL> just need a good preset that also sets the correct writing strategy <kado> yes <kado> thats right <eussNL> which reminds me, that was one thing left out in winskeet (the samsung setting needs manual setting after selecting the preset) <kado> the secreet for spansion N is only need 0v for (tristate & reset) <kado> and do not ever modified the RDY <kado> RY/BY NOR is controlled by SB <kado> hope you can make this clear eusss, and explaint to all people
<kado> next secreet for Samsung "Q" (edit: K8Q2815UQB-PI4B), pls make note : <kado> check your #WE shold be 'L' <kado> and RESET should be 'H' <eussNL> isnt that default kado? because Samsung Q (edit:K8P2716UZC-QI4D) already works fine afaik <kado> once again no RESISTOR trick <kado> i always use 110819 <kado> for write <kado> and check those point <kado> with all option checked <kado> eus: the flasher could not emulated that point <eussNL> kado, the QT port is the current one, the other is ment to be no longer maintained if I got it right
edit: NOTE that we both ment different Samsung! kado:K8Q2815UQB-PI4B // eussNL: K8P2716UZC-QI4D (reason: both have Q in their partnumber)
manual A22 virtual chip select
For dualbanked chips with A22 Virtual Chip Select pin (e.g. Samsung K8Q2815UQB-PI4B)
128Kx128 settings to flash.
resistor 10k:
a22 point on board (NOR) ----- 10k ----- 3,3v direct
a22 point of prgoskeet is not connected to anything while flashing second bank
first flash first virtual chip with A22 low : 0-63 first bank (000000-7FFFFF)
then flash second virtual chip with A22 high : 64-128 second bank (800000-FFFFFF)

Read CFI data
<Ago> guys, we need people to supply us with nor cfi data <Ago> we're most interested in samsung <Ago> i'm currently uploading a test version that dumps cfi <Ago> http://static.loping.net/private/ps3/WinSkeet40000_CFI_Test3.zip <Ago> select preset and press dump cfi on nor tab <Ago> then send the resulting file <Oliveira> CFI is a section of the PS3 flash image ? <Oliveira> or is it the chip ID stuff ? <Ago> no, its information about hte flash chip itself <Ago> like how it wants to be written, erased and how big it is <Ago> we currently do not use it at all <Ago> but we think the samsung problems and maybe the spansion n problems are because of that
http://static.loping.net/private/ps3/cfi/Spansion%20S29GL128N90TFIR2.cfi http://static.loping.net/private/ps3/cfi/Spansion%20S29GL128P90TFIR2.cfi http://static.loping.net/private/ps3/cfi/Samsung%20K8Q2815UQB-PI4B.cfi http://static.loping.net/private/ps3/cfi/Macronix%20MX29GL128ELT2I-90G.cfi
Offboard flashing / Replacement NOR talk
<Rogero> eussNL: about flashing a nand/NOR externally,
once removed from the board and into a socket,
will this work for sure ?
<Rogero> i mean could be done, no problems if the nand is standalone
<eussNL> this will work for sure for board originated problems.
<eussNL> that still leaves us the Samsung dualbanked issue
<eussNL> e.g. VER-001 are most likely to benefit from offboard solution
<eussNL> perpaps it is a solution to exchange the banked Samsung for the uniform one,
or a Spansion/Macronix - someone tried that on a VER,
but ran into board related issues afaik
<eussNL> because reading isnt the problem, writing is -
so read a banked Samsung offboard,
and flash patched in a nonbanked/uniform one offboard and resolder
<eussNL> offboard also means no need for messing with resistor trickery
(pullup/down´s) on control-lines (RY/BY)
<nice69> read and write externally, then re-solder the chip
<Xb0xGuru> right, so it's the board layout which is the problem?
<eussNL> 2 fold
<eussNL> 1) Samsung banked 2) VER-001 board
<Xb0xGuru> what about the DYN-001 board? Would a Spansion work on there as a replacement?
<eussNL> and if board modification is on order, it would be most likely a controlline,
like RY/BY, which was the target of the resistor trickery
<eussNL> DYN-001 works fine with Macronic Xb0xGuru
<eussNL> see http://www.ps3devwiki.com/index.php?title=Talk:Hardware_flashing#Testreport_table
for the patterns of problems
<eussNL> you can use others flash too,
the one I list there is just the one Sony used on a different version of the board.
See http://www.ps3devwiki.com/index.php?title=Flash_%28Hardware%29#NOR
for all the current NORs used
(and stay away from dualbanked and perhaps ¨N¨ serie spansion too)
<eussNL> anyhow Samsung K8P2716UZC-QI4D = uniform/nonbanked and is fastest.
The Macronix and Spansion are 90ns
<eussNL> Replacements for NOR have to be
=>128Mbit x8,
VCC 3V (2.7V~3.6V),
<=90ns,
56-TSOP1, pincompatible,
uniform/nonbanked, non OTP, non encrypted.
<Xb0xGuru> I successfully transplanted a Spansion P NOR onto my DYN-001 board that had a Samsung NOR on there previously.
<kado> r u sure??
<Xb0xGuru> yes - all done
<Xb0xGuru> downgraded to 3.55 CFW.
<kado> wow thats good to know
<Xb0xGuru> flashed it initially with the original 3.70 dump and it fired up nicely too
<Xb0xGuru> Spansion P came from another DYN-001 board, if that matters
Heavily edited log. Interesting read IMO
<kado> i want to confirm about RSOD <kado> my english is bad, but i want you can tell to evryone <kado> there is 2 types of RSOD <kado> 1.come from CFW 2.from OFW <kado> if coused by CFW we should patch the cVTRM <kado> and if coused by OFW we should patch the core_OS. and use the last official Core_OS <kado> btw, i have fix this 2pcs off RSOD today <kado> guys here i upload 3.55 board ver-001 (including here are OFW,CFW, service Mode dump) <kado> its all for studying RSOD <kado> http://www.sendspace.com/file/ywvmox <kado> you can compare with them, if you have RSOD come from ofw 3.55

NORway / Teensy experimental Samsung support
THIS IS UNTESTED CODE! DO NOT TRY THIS UNLESS YOU HAVE A VERIFIED GOOD DUMP OF YOUR FLASH AND ARE WILLING TO WORK OUT ANY BUGS IN FLASH WRITING!!!
This modification of NORway.py attempts to support samsung dualbanked flash chips (e.g. K8Q2815UQB-PI4B). It performs a chip erase (with a22 low then high) then programs the entire flash using unlocked, single-word programming. Programming ranges is not supported because partial erasing is not implemented. Programming will be slow because it waits for RY after programming every single word. The author's teensy install has EMI issues so they were not able to test this code! The file works with NORway's original Teensy firmware.
