Can someone tell me the address on a ROM 3 Rev 372 so that I can edit the data pointer to point to the proper area on the card.?
And what that data should be?

From reading here it seems that that may correct the error "Dataspace is invalid" when I try to write to the card or try to do a "One step clean" in NE4.1 or 4.0
NE gets the ATR, gets the backdoor password but during the reading card process it gives me the aforementioned error.
I have two cards that give me this error. One has not been in the stream for several years and was a good sub. One is supposed to be a virgin from Mili. Another that was not in the stream for several years cleaned just the way its supposed to, also a former sub from the same friend who gave me one of the ones with the error. He never played with the cards and had a regular sub on both of them.
I am using Milis dual crystal ISO also new but had a broken Cap when received, which I repaired.
Tried battery supply and Var Power supply with no difference, tried another computer with no difference. Tried to write a clean bin still no go always the same error. Bad data Space.

I saw a post here at one point that someone had a similair problem and edited the EEPROM to point to the correct place on the card. Something about a corrupt pointer, and this corrected it.
But I dont know the address to write to or what I should write in order to correct this problem.
Mili said he never heard of this error but I have seen a few other people ask about it as well as myself.
I had posted this in the Newbie area but have not heard anything about the "editing" needed for the pointer. Although Sukh77 did try to help me.
Just thought one of the pros might help me out.

When i had this error.... writing the original ROM image back on the card solved it for me.

Cant believe that I wasted a day, when your suggestion worked first time.
Wonder why I couldn't write an image yesterday from one card to another.
But hey who cares it worked.


Thank you!!!!

haha... i know how it feels...
i guess that's why it's better to think of it as a hobby.. instead of just free TV.

YW.... and Happing Testing!

Im having your problem with the Data pointing, and i cant figure out where to get a virgin image, I never saved one. What can I write to this card to rid the Dataspace nag? What is a virgin bin? NEWB---->Wasup :rolleyes:

Ok my problem is narrowing. The final image doesn't write successfully cause the DataSpace changes to FF FF from E4 00. I read in a post to write an original image to my Rom3 but I dont have one. Where could I get an original Rom3 Rev372 image to use or is this the same as a virgin image. If so, how do I make a Virgin Rom3 image? This sounds like a ToTaLLy NeWb QuEStioN. :eek13:

I tried all these suggestions. I can read cams, but even when I change data pointer I still get error writing to card.
I have tried all settings and all versions, XP and 98 on laptop,
my next step is gonna be a diferent programer.
weird shit they were all locked at diferent revs and I used sorry nagra to unlock them after ALL other freeware scripts failed.
I have unlocked 10 or so rom 10's with sorry nagra and they cleaned to REVA16 fine and I can read and write to them.
these rom 3's do not seem to be marked. only show that they have been unlocked aty somepoint.

just dont put it in the stream after you write the new datapointer thinking your blocker is still there. I just looped my rom3 (no atr) :eek:
