You have to put that image to the _raw_ flash. If you use nandsim,
something like "dd if=ubi.img of=/dev/mtdX" is OK. If you use a real
NAND flash, you have to use the nandwrite utility, becaus dd cannot skip
bad blocks: nandwrite /dev/mtdX ubi.img

For example, if you were a vendor of some devices and you had a factory,
you would prepare you final ubi.img and you would flash it to the newly
produced devices in the factory. Straight to the raw flash.

You may put ubifs.img with ubiupdatevol.
