This is not exactly a very precise instruction...

How exactly do I write to NAND on a virgin (or bricked) system?
I think Fabio's request makes a lot of sense - yes, you know how to
do this, but I don't, and neither does the average user. Can we
please document this? With sufficient detail everybody understands
which tools you used to do this, and what the exact steps where to
perform the operation?

Thanks.
