NANDSweeper is a tool created to destroy (SWEEP
) and read (DUMP
) the DSi's NAND and SD card. The app comes in two versions (NTRJ and NTRJ-Secure). I don't know the specific difference between them, but NTRJ-Secure will not boot. It's unknown why this tool exists, though it may have been to wipe prototypes considering how it was found in the TwlToolsRED repository (used to develop the internal IPL).
SWEEP
function allows you to set every byte in NAND or the SD as 00, FF, 55, AA
, or incremental/decremental and random patterns. The location to start writing is set through the Input Transfer Sector
.
DUMP
displays a hex dump of the NAND and SD. The Input Sector Address
sets the location to start reading from, and dpad-up and dpad-down are used to scroll through the hex dump.
