Here's the howto:

Basically, you need to use 'lnb' command for unsigned files, and 'lnbs' for signed files. The syntax is the same for both commands:


lnb <PathName> [StartAddr] [Length]


If StartAddr is omited it defaults to 0x501a0000, which is the address of OS.nb
If Length is omited it defaults to the legth of the file you provided in PathName.

The addresses for all known ROM parts are here (scroll down to "NAND flash distribution"):

Be careful if you flash a cooked or modified OS.nb, as it might produce bad blocks in NAND.
