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	Ir0nmanNB : Used all gnds listed on the diagram. I probe progskeet_rdy with my multimeter - I get 3.3V when writing and 0.9V when frozen. When giving progskeet_rdy direct 3.3v it no longer freezes. Writing succesfull when diffential flash is checked.
VER-001	1x Samsung K8Q2815UQB-PI4B	Yes	No	Ryd3R : I'm currently working on editing NORWay script to make it support writing using (4k/4096) .
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 S29GL128P90TFIR2	Yes	No	ares : tried 128k/128 , 4k/4096. 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
DYN-001	1x Macronix MX29GL128ELT2I-90G	Yes	Yes	Ryd3R : NORway 0.3 fully support R/W on Macronix MX29GL128ELT2I-90G.
SUR-001	-
JTP-001	1x Spansion S29GL128P90TFIR2
JTP-001	1x Spansion S29GL128P90TFIR2	Yes	Yes	drako_ : success downgrading from 3.70 to 3.55 with wiring according to JSD-001 diagram, with 5 grounds and settings 128K/128 (progskeet).
JTP-001	1x Spansion S29GL128P90TFIR2	Yes	Yes	Ryd3R : success downgrading from 3.70 to 3.55 with wiring according to JSD-001 diagram NORway v0.3 .

JSD-001	1x Samsung K8P2716UZC-QI4D
JSD-001	1x Samsung K8P2716UZC-QI4D	Yes	Yes	Ryd3R : NORway 0.3 fully support R/W on Samsung K8P2716UZC-QI4D.
JSD-001	1x Spansion S29GL128P90TFIR2	Yes	Yes	kado : Downgrading 3.70 to 3.55 success with progskeet (differ ON, alter ON) NOTE: THIS BOARD HAS different lengt normally (lenght is E990)
KTE-001	1x Spansion S29GL128P90TFIR2
KTE-001	1x Macronix MX29GL128ELT2I-90G
EXA-MPLE	1x dummy	Yes	No	example : Tried 128/128 and 4K/4096, resistor and A/B trick, always freezes on first sector

Problematic Samsung related

<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

RSOD related

<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

NAND

NAND (256MB, old FAT models, needs 32 wires, 15 per NAND + GND + VCC)
2 chips: Samsung K9F1G08U0A-PIB0

NAND_Dumper_Extractor.rar (1.55 MB)

FlowRebuilder v.4.1.0.0

NOR

NOR 16MB, newer FAT models + Slims
needs 44 I/O wires: 23 address lines:A0-A22 + 16 Data lines:D0-D15 + 5 control lines: CE#,OE#,WE#,RESET#,TRISTATE (optional:#RY-BY) + GND + VCC
(NB: RY/BY is optional only for Teensy, Progskeet NEED ALL controllines!)

1 chip: Spansion S29GL128N90TFIR2 or Samsung K8Q2815UQB-P14B

NOR uses 1024 byte sector, just as NAND.
