[12:44am] so that eeprom is 2megs and i use 2 blocks of 128KB for the 256KB bin i got backed up....where is the other 1.5megs [12:44am] is that where the checksum gets changed? [12:44am] <~zebra> it could be that the extraction mechanism isn't targetting the PROM correctly [12:44am] <~zebra> and this is highly likely. [12:45am] i need to find more info on this...something isnt right [12:45am] it should be 2meg [12:45am] <~zebra> yup [12:45am] <~zebra> and if it isn't [12:46am] <~zebra> it suggests extraction isn't correct [12:46am] <~zebra> :s [12:46am] yea but i used it and also the program comes with all the original firmwares for different drives so all you have to do is "inject" your key with its original firmware [12:46am] they are all 256kb [12:47am] not just my original i backed up but their originals the program comes with in case you mess your own original up or never backed it up [12:47am] maybe it has something to do with being a "differential flash" [12:47am] it never does an erase [12:48am] <~zebra> well [12:48am] <~zebra> there is a likelihood that the differential flash hasn't overwritten stuff [12:48am] <~zebra> rather [12:48am] <~zebra> it has overlapped an offset [12:48am] <~zebra> and broken something [12:48am] <~zebra> badly.
