I was examning a Flash drives MBR to check if there is any Byte-interleave. The dump from the Flash drive has already gone through some processes such as XOR extraction and others, but I can not yet see a normal Fat32 MBR yet. Can someone help. Attached is the dump after the processes.

looks like part of the flash firmware, or a cd partition on the flash drive.
IMHO it should start with BtPramCD so yes, maybe some interleave or something not done right. see comparison with my example which is a code file example that flashes leds on a flash drive when uploaded to one.

Bit errors..Apply ECC. There's no byte split in PS2251(looks like Phison). You either overheated chip or standard 3.3V produces too much noise. Attach one block with data here I check it in bitmap

This is bit error from HaQue's comparison

Does ECC function well in a transformed page ? Will not some of the ECC information get lost during the process ?

You need to apply ECC on physical images (dumps). If chip has bad columns then remove them and apply ECC on the result. (Most latest TLC chips of Sandisk [0x45] and Toshiba [0x98] have them.)

Thank you everyone for your help. I have succeeded in recovering all the data. The problem was that the auto method failed to identify the correct Translator, I got the right info from Solbase. It have to admit that I was a little lazy to ask for help without first looking there.

Thanks
