RIFF JTAG – CDMA Motorola W150i (MSM6000) Repair supported


21.04.2011   CDMA Motorola W150i (MSM6000) Repair supported

Resurrecting Motorola W150i is simple. Phone is auto powered on with charger connected; battery presence is not required. Pin TMODE has to be connected to GND in order to enable JTAG connection.
Please note, MSM6000 draws power from JTAG pins, thus board can be detected via JTAG even without any power supplied. But for successful resurrection the power (battery or charger) is required. Thus when resurrection is complete don’t forget to disconnect phone from RIFF BOX to de-power it completely.
To resurrect Motorola W150i:

• Solder JTAG cable to Motorola W150i JTAG pads;


• Connect charger for auto power on or use battery;


• Make sure Motorola W150i is selected in the list of models;


• Click Resurrect button;


• Choose which areas to flash;

Resurrecting Huawei EC1260 is simple. Just make sure you solder all JTAG signals and insert modem into a USB port for it to get powered.
If modem is not detected by RIFFBOX JTAG, disconnect JTAG connector, re-insert modem into USB and then connect back the JTAG connector.
At resurrection startup you can select which zones are to be re-flashed. Thus you can save a lot of time if you know approximately which zone is damaged. Select EFS or MMC areas to be flashed only in case you are sure those are damaged – these areas quite big in size; unnecessary reflash is just a waste of time.
Please note, if you chose EFS to be repaired, an original ESN will be lost and substituted with the one contained in resurrection data. Current resurrector does not support ESN repair.
To resurrect Huawei EC1260:

• Solder JTAG cable to Huawei EC1260 JTAG pads;


• Insert Huawei EC1260 modem into any USB port for power;


• Make sure Huawei EC1260 is selected in the list of models;

RIFF JTAG – Qtek 9000 (HTC Universal) Unbrick – Boot repair supported

15.07.2011  Qtek 9000 (HTC Universal) Unbrick – Boot repair supported

Current resurrector works with Qtek 9000 with MDOC G3 memory version. In order to establish JTAG connection charged battery is required. In some cases you will need to press power on key during initiating connection.
Please note, in case the Download Mode Initiation resurrection way is selected in the resurrector popup settings window, battery must be charged enough in order for phone to enter download mode.
Current resurrector offers 2 ways to resurrect the phone:

•  WAY1: Writing SPL code directly into the MDOC memory (there are 2 hardware versions of the Qtek 9000 exist: boards with G4-type MDOC memory and boards with G3-type MDOC memory; current resurrector contains DCC Loader for G3 MDOC memory; thus for G4 version you need to use other resurrector)

•  WAY2: Initiating DOWNLOAD MODE without touching MDOC contents;

MDOC G3 memory has security features, due to which there is a risk of permanently blocking the access to the flash memory while re-flashing the IPL loader. Current resurrector will not touch the IPL zone, but it is possible you’re already holding such killed device in hands. If it is so you will see this error:
****************************************************************
Detected a Not Initialized FLASH1 Chip ID: 0×0200/0xFDFF
ERROR: Selected FLASH Chip was not initialized by the DCC Loader
****************************************************************
In this case resurrection of your device is not possible. We advise you to solder a new flash memory chip and then use resurrector with IPL re-flash enabled.
To resurrect Qtek 9000 G3:

•  Solder JTAG cable to Qtek 9000 G3 JTAG pads;


•  Insert battery and connect USB cable to phone and PC;


•  Make sure Qtek 9000 G3 is selected in the list of models;


•  Click Resurrect button;


•  In popup window select desired way of resurrection;


•  Wait till software signals a successful operation completion;


•  Disconnect USB cable, de-solder JTAG wires;

To enter download mode:

•  Disconnect PC cable;


•  Insert battery;


•  Hold both ‘Light’ key (the one near to the volume slider) and ‘Power On’ key and press with stylus the reset hole-button.

Additional info:

•  The DiskOnChip G3 memory type has security features. Access to both protected partitions (as IPL loader area) is done using password 00000000.


•  IPL re-flash is intentionally switched off in this resurrector. While re-flashing the IPL area there is a risk of permanently blocking the memory chip.


•  Memory is two DiskOnChip (MDOC) G3 cascaded chips, IDs are 0×0200; capacity is 64Mb+64Mb); though current DCC Loader was tested to read/write correctly only the SPL zones.

29.07.2011     Samsung I9100 Galaxy S II Unbrick – Boot repair supported, World First ! ! !
Samsung I9100 is based on the S5PV310 (Exynos 4210) Processor (Cortex-A9 Dual-Core).
JTAG pads are very small; professional experience in soldering is required to connect wires to the JTAG interface. There is a big variety of versions of Galaxy II devices: GT-I9100, GT-I9100G, GT-I9100L, GT-I9100M, GT-I9100T, GT-I9101, GT-I9103, GT-I9108, GT-I9188, and maybe more. Some of them are based on different hardware platform – the OMAP4430 (Cortex-A9 Dual-Core). Thus make sure first which exact hardware version you have on hands.
Note, one simple way to connect over JTAG – connect USB cable to PC and insert battery. In this case phone is automatically powered on.
Phone has such booting sequence: ROM → FBL → IBL → PBL → SBL. Current resurrector will resurrect Partition Table (PIT) and SBL zones which are located in the iNAND (eMMC) memory. Write access to memory which contains FBL, IBL and PBL loaders is not supported currently, but in case your phone has these loaders damaged, you can choose “Initiate Download Mode” way of resurrection in order to directly put the phone into the Download Mode.
