I just finished patching the corrupt firmware and checked again with BwE validator and is all good now, firmware size is correct size.
The final step is write back to the flash IC after erased the flash IC (no error) first. Gets erase errors and write errors. I had wired this same way to read back both corrupt flash IC and good flash IC from two consoles. Made two dumps on each IC and both are same for each.
Even I placed a capacitor across on ground and VCC pins.
Thanks all, cheers, Oldhats640
