Matrix Team announce a nand dumper Corona V2 compatible

[JPizzle 0]

The matrix team announce today throught their website that they launched the production of a new nand dumper which will be compatible with the corona V2. According to them the installation difficulty will be the same as usual, so their solution isn’t using the JTAG point. There is great chance they use the pads on the picture above to which are directly linked to the nand . They also announce the release of a software to fix the missing spare data in order to make the nand image compatible with most of the jtag/rgh software

Here is their statement :

Well, since production of the new reader is about to start we might as well announce it :

Matrix Glitcher V2 Rev.C officially supports Corona V2.

A new Nand reader/writer had to be developed to interface to the 4GB Corona motherboard due to the new phison chip and the differences in the communication protocol.

Installation difficulty is about the same as the old Nand SPI reader (even though the pads are slightly closer together, installers will have the choice to use a quick solder board or directly solder wires to the motherboard).

One small note regarding nand dumps : V2 nand dumps don’t have ECC bytes (this is by design, since they are stripped by the phison controller which also takes care of blocks remapping and a bunch of other stuff), so scripts that expect them to be present might need to be modified (either that or they need to be added after the nand has been dumped).

The final nand reader software will automatically add/remove ECC bytes to the nand image as to try to preserve compatibility with existing software as much as possible.
