Charles, OK, so we apparently do have the OOB data in these image dumps (obtained via the dump_image-arm tool included in nandroid), but when we attempt to upload them to a nand emulator (under Ubuntu) with 'nandwrite -a -o', we're still getting the error: Input file is not page-aligned. Use the padding option. Data was only partially written due to error : Success Where do we go from here? Should this work, and if so, how do we determine exactly what the problem really is? Thanks much for your help John McCash
