Glad I could help

I also found details on the MTD Utilities from TI here: MTD Utilities - Texas Instruments Embedded Processors Wiki

Was gonna try cloning the git here in a little bit and see if those utilities were useful.

Moving to the hd2 nand driver seems to make the errors go away. but i still cant write onto the partitions.

So far this is what i've done

# cat /dev/mtd/mtd0 > /sdcard/mtd0.img
# cat /dev/mtd/mtd1 > /sdcard/mtd1.img
# cat /dev/mtd/mtd2 > /sdcard/mtd2.img
# cat /dev/mtd/mtd3 > /sdcard/mtd3.img

mtd0 is the only one that has data. The rest are just empty. I'm assuming its because i wiped the whole phone ? i should have left winmo partially in there to check.

After trying to flash_image one of the partitions i tried to mount it and i get the following.

[ 518.155426] msm_nand_read_oob: unsupported ops->len, 512
[ 518.155517] end_request: I/O error, dev mtdblock3, sector 0

This doesnt look good. i know the 512 error is common but not sure why it's happening. So this is where im at..
