hmm. ours is different from @Leeful 's though. I'm backing up my mlc using eyekey's app. I originally backed up everything with the fw.img. I thought the mlc was safe, so I fixed my slc and slcmpt with @EyeKey 's tools, then redumped them with eyekey's tools. I want to make sure my NAND dumps r complete. I haven't bricked or anything (on cbhc), but I want to have everything I need if that does happen one day.

edit: btw, how do u merge these mlc files?

I think if it is a Toshiba eMMC chip inside the console the dumped size is 29.7GB and if it is a Samsung eMMC chip inside the dumped size is 29.1GB.

My original Wiiu console mlc dump is 29.1GB (Samsung) and the console that I hardmoded is 29.7GB (Toshiba).

@Kafluke , what's the size of the your mlc and is it needed really? my mlc is one gigabyte smaller than the one you mention in your tutorials. it's 29.1GBs instead of 30.1GBs. was/is that a typo?

We can guess. Since MLC includes critical parts of Wii U (Mii Maker, System Settings and Wii U menu, other apps can shit itself...) so it's kinda needed when CBHC isn't a problem here.

Just make sure you already have nand backups!

(I'm not bricked)
1. It's possible to remove CBHC of the SLC.bin with a wiiunand tool and use it ? (I don't remember of the name)
2. It's possible to dump the SLC.bin with the solduring, use wiiunandtool and inject ?
3. It's impossible to dump the otp.bin with solduring ?

1. If you have OTP, it's possible
2. Yeah, you can dump SLC from a dead Wii U
3. Nope, OTP is created on-request, meaning that if console is dead, it can't fulfill that request.
 
Here's the command to join your MLC files:

copy /b mlc.bin.part01 + mlc.bin.part02 + mlc.bin.part03 + mlc.bin.part04 + mlc.bin.part05 + mlc.bin.part06 + mlc.bin.part07 + mlc.bin.part08 + mlc.bin.part09 + mlc.bin.part10 + mlc.bin.part11 + mlc.bin.part12 + mlc.bin.part13 + mlc.bin.part14 + mlc.bin.part15 + mlc.bin

Obviously if you have a "mlc.bin.part16" you should add that on the end.

Read the op but no other posts. Very nice just you credited dimok with fix94's work.

Thanks for pointing it out. Had Dimok on the brain cause I was working on the noob guide some more. Fixed. No need to be snarky. Simple mistake.

thanks. I'm dumping the mlc again, so this probably isn't necessary. I suspected it was the NAND chip that gives off a different size.

wasnt being snarky fella , was a lazy post is all, to let you know... :(

Sorry "Very nice just you credited dimok with fix94's work" I read this as "Very nice that you credited dimok with fix94's work" not "Very nice (comma), you credited...". LOL. my bad.

@Anonyamalious How did you get the slc.bin dump? was it from the hardmod dump or from the WiiU NAND Dumper software?

The slc.bin (WiiU NAND) should be 528MB (540,672KB)
The slccmpt.bin (vWii NAND) should be 528MB (540,672KB)
The mlc.bin (Storage NAND) should be 29.7GB (31,162,368KB) (Toshiba eMMC chip inside) or 29.1.GB for the Samsung eMMC chip inside.

Hi Leeful,

I dumped it through hardmod, so maybe theres a short some where?
 
does it matter if the NAND dump is made after installing cbhc? from my understanding, it doesn't matter since I believe @EyeKey made a tool to fix the slc dump, right?

That's correct. You can also use the teensy to dump mlc and then patch it but you'll need otp.bin to do so.

If you have an slc.bin dump before CBHC you don't need the otp.bin

is it the mlc or the slc that needs patching? ...or both? my original mlc dump is from before cbhc using the fw.img, but the slc and slcmpt dumps r after cbhc. does that matter?
 
thanks. that's what I was thinking. :) I might just delete this mlc dump since the one with the fw.img should be complete anyway.
 
@Kafluke , @Leeful
Here is a screenshot of my NANDway info

I also have slc.full.img which I dumped before CBHC that is 524,288kb, how can I convert that to bin?

I think u need to fix that slc. the correct size is 540,672. u can do this with Eyekey's tools. they're on this forum somewhere.

Thanks @godreborn , I fixed my slc.full.img with nandfixer but now when I flash it I'm getting:
Error: file is 21000000 bytes long and last block is 84021000
I don't think I'll be able to flash it until NANDway properly recognizes my NAND.
