Hacking Bricked/corrupted redNAND without any reason?

[ShadowOne333]

My assumption goes into saying that maybe your original fw.img dump was not successful.
Yes you got it working, but maybe not everything was working properly until you moved the Internet Settings, and maybe that part wasn't dumped correctly. You have to verify every aspect and app of the redNAND before you can catalogue it as a good dump.

I remember reading something about a user trying 17 times to dump the NAND until he got it right, perhaps you simply didn't test out every option before making it your official NAND dump.

What are they?

basic nand dumping and a rednand loader, you can find them on that iso site

I heard the NAND dumper takes a bunch of tries, is that true? Because if it does, I'll wait until a more stable release.

Plenty of guides around here. I've heard there's one on the "Wii U iso" site.

Just had a look couldn't find any sort Of guide. someone made a precompiled version of it but I'm not comfortable trying that.

It's on the front page of the tutorials section of the ISO site.

Thanks just realised I was looking at the wrong site
EDIT:Would it work on a 64 GB SD which is actually 60 GB ?

I think so as long as it's over 32gb.

K thanks

redNAND recreated, tried some things and seems like touching particular spots of the redNAND causes it to brick, like editing the connection settings, and even launching eShop titles. At least for me-
Guys i'm not an idiot, i know what i'm doing, don't worry, i have a NAND backup ready for any eventuality. Just doing some tests with the alpha homebrews that we currently have

You just have a corrupt backup. My first backup wouldn't even load any titles, it'd just freeze. Dump your NAND over the dump you have rn and report back?

How long did it take you guys to get a good dump of you nand? I tried 4x to no avail. I stopped trying because the 57 minute dump time was painful.

You bricked rednand. That can and will happen.. Tonight some more "work" was leaked to the net... im sorry but were going to have to close down the openess a little if people keep trying to be the big dick and report some half done work.

I don't think there's anything wrong with it? Those were my videos, I didn't intend for them to be very private. We have private sig patches, and I was showing they work and all.

i know they were .. but my point is ,, the eagerness for anything to be outed , no matter how insignificant..

Sig patches are a huge thing. Not very small. They give redNAND a purpose. A user oriented purpose.

omg ... point missed..

I get the point, I was just commenting on the sig patches part.
