HI Craig,
I've found 9 flash files that I got from someone. I've reordered the fis list
by flash address, and it looks like I have everything except the "FIS
directory". And that actually makes sense, since the flash system would need
to know it's own directory, and each entry would be added to that when you run
"fis create". So, that narrows it down to
Name FLASH addr Mem addr Length
Entry point0 = RedBoot 0xF0000000 0xF0000000 0x00040000
0x00000000
1 = log 0xF0040000 0xF0040000 0x00020000 0x00000000
2 = rammode 0xF0060000 0x00200000 0x00040000 0x00200000
3 = naskey 0xF00A0000 0xF00A0000 0x00020000 0x01008000
4 = zImage 0xF00C0000 0x01008000 0x00200000 0x01008000
5 = ramdisk.gz 0xF02C0000 0x01800000 0x00400000 0x01800000
6 = vendor 0xF06C0000 0xF06C0000 0x01880000 0x01800000
7 = wmdata 0xF1F40000 0xF1F40000 0x00080000 0x01800000
8 = RedBoot config 0xF1FC0000 0xF1FC0000 0x00001000 0x00000000
9 = FIS directory 0xF1FE0000 0xF1FE0000 0x00020000 0x00000000
So, if the lengths of your files are in this order, then you should be good to
go. (Decimal lengths: File 0 = 262144, etc: 131072, 262144, 131072, 2097152,
4194304, 25090112, 524288, 4096). You would just load rammode, naskey, zImage,
ramdisk.gz, vendor, and wmdata. I doubt you'd need log.
Otherwise, someone's going to have to remind me how to make a copy of the flash
data, as I can't remember how I did it the one time I did. Come to think of
it, my flash data won't be the ones you want to restore to the factory version,
as mine would have the bootloader etc for Debian Wheezy.

Hi Bob, JFS, TheoThank you all for your insight. I had started trying to do
what Bob was describing. It looked like I was moving in the right direction. My
next issue was that the backups I was using were named block0 and so on. I was
unsure of the correlation between the files named block and mtd. Is it possible
to backup your partitions and send them to me so I know which is which to
restore. I really appreciate the help. I have some hope again and I really hate
to let machines win lol. Craig

Well, Bob ;-)
All the lengths match, at least ; you're right it's worth giving a
try, I think...

Craig should use ?modem since the rammode which loads the lan is
destroyed, but it's seems possible...
Good luck, Craig ;)
