NAND backup using bootmii as IOS
Hi all,

I've read in lots of threads that making a NAND backup with bootmii installed as an IOS is kind of useless. Why is that?

I have preloader 0.30 installed and bootmii as an IOS. If I do a NAND backup, shouldn't I be able to recover it if I run bootmii through preloader, in case a brick happens?

Thanks!

Its useless because it doesn't make a complete NAND backup since your IOS are in use, so it cannot recover you from a full brick.

Preloader and Bootmii as an IOS provide the same amount as brick protection but Preloader is more reliable.
