I always build it manually. It isn't that hard.
Plus if your NAND has bad blocks, I found NONE of the tools available today would handle it properly.
I have tried Pigs, Easy Freeboot, etc..
I actually prefer building it manually so that I know which portion is giving me issues.
Typically, with bad blocks in nand, you need to get/generate the proper SMC.bin file.
Look at this thread
http://forums.xbox-s...howtopic=712096I prefer building the image too, just in the interests of testing these apps and giving feedback, I like to run them through. No, there were no bad blocks either.
And you need to edit your post (or reply at least) that the values listed are only applicable for small block NANDs - you need to substitute the 1 with an 8 for big block NANDs. And you're not generating the SMC.bin file either, so don't go confusing people.
