Title: Brand New C860 Problems
Post by: zaurusaurus on March 13, 2006, 10:28:53 am

I just purchased brand new c860 at very low price in Japan.

I first ran bad NAND block count and found FIVE bad NAND blocks.

Altough I had no problem flashing roms and NAND restoring, I tried to fix bad NAND blocks by full erasing NAND and restoring.

But when I did the full NAND erase, this c860 started to think it is c760.

When I enter service menu, I see c760 instead of c860.

I tried NAND restore with systc860.dbk but i get error saying the name isn't
syst760.dbk.

So I changed the name to systc760.dbk and flashed, but it still think it is c760.

How do I make it think it is c860 again?

Also, is five NAND blocks considered as defect altough I have no problem flashing rom images and NAND?

Thank you.

C760 is all cool white & silver. not a trace of any darker colour.

anyway only the colour is different, right (after flashing an english rom in it)? why would the C860 be more expensive then?

no, 760 and 860 are the same machine, it was a software upgrade only

Since the 760 and 860 are identical, and everything else is ok, why not just let it be.

IMO fiddling with the NAND  may simply give rise to more problems.
