Experience with HY27UU088G5M and CBM208 with PC3K-Flash?

February 14th, 2009, 11:24

I got an USB stick with one HY27UU088G5M and a CBM2080
and its not (yet) implemented in PC3K-Flash respectively I
do not know the alternative settings.

Can anyone help with that please?

The stick should be 2GB according to customer, but it is
recognised as 1GB (1024) by PC3K-Flash-Software. In the
internet I found specs defining it as 8GB chip....

No further options offered in software.

Suggestions / advice?

Thank you

HY27UU088G5M:

HY = HYNIX MEMORY
27 = NAND flash
U = 2.7-3.6V (power supply)
U = MLC + Double Die + L/B (classification)
08 = x8 (bit organization)
8G = 8Gbit = 1Gb
5 = 2 nCE & 2 R/nB; Sequential Row Read Disable
M = 1st Gen.

PC3K Flash shows right result.

Remove mix-->Block Number 0000

It's certainly a 1Gb chip.

Was there only 1 chip in the device?

Markers are at 513/512 on CBM2080, and the Block Size is usually 0x42000

This is a very easy device to recover.

Actually Block Size depend on capacity of the chip. (does not depend on the controller model). And for better understanding in PC3K Flash easier use count per pages (not per bytes). I mean when you determine block size (in SA), then apply algorithm you should indicate pages.
0x42000 = 270336 [bytes]
270336 [bytes] / 528[bytes per page] = 512[pages]
Sometimes 1Gb chip contain 1024 block size, but very rare.

I know this, I meant in this SPECIFIC combination of controller and nand flash chip the block size is 0x42000. I have recovered plenty of this exact combo.

Thank you all for the advice and infos.

With this and also with intensive help from Sasha of ACElab
we (he) tried all possible, but the data was a mess. For the
garbage..... but something to learn of....

Thanks again
Walter

You use Soft Centre for all your NAND recoveries? I have PC3K Flash, but while Flash seems more user friendly there does seem to be much more support through soft centre. You think it might be worth investing in soft centre?

Hi,

Yes, I use Soft Center for all my flash recoveries. Support is very good.

I use it too sometimes. But it is not so friendly. Support is not very good but not so bad. :!:

Would it be recomended to use both soft center and PC3K? For more added support maybe?
