30.07.2011     SonyEricsson Xperia X10 Unbrick – Boot repair supported
Resurrecting SE X10 is easy. Phone is auto powered on with USB Data Cable connected to the PC while battery is inserted. Be careful, JTAG pads are covered under blue mask covering, so you will need to scratch it off in order to be able to solder wires.
During resurrection, you can select which areas to be repaired. So you can choose only those areas which you know are damaged thus saving flashing time.
To resurrect SE X10:

•  Solder JTAG cable to SE X10 JTAG pads;


•  Insert USB Data cable into board and PC;


•  Make sure SE X10 is selected in the list of models;


•  If you use only battery, press Power On key;


•  Click Resurrect button;


•  Wait till software signals a successful operation completion;


•  Disconnect power supply, de-solder JTAG wires;

Now phone is in bootable condition, that is, even if it does not start up normally, you can flash it using known flashing methods.
Please click “Check For Updates” button in order to download and apply new files. Closing all running application before starting update process is recommended.

RIFF JTAG – JTAG Manager v1.35 released

04.08.2011   JTAG Manager v1.35 released
Whats new:

• Added an arbitrary feature “Settings by Code” to the DCC Read/Write page.

Main purpose is to improve support quality for users: via “Settings Code” string a supporter person sees all settings which were set by user on the DCC Read/Write page.
Though, end-user may benefit from this too: Use “Settings Code” string for JTAG Manager to automatically setup all DCC Read/Write settings

•  Fixed data loss during read and save operations in case there is not enough disk space available to store required amount of data.

(for example reading full on DCC Read/Write page, or saving read full, etc).
Now available disk space checks are performed prior disk write operations.
Please click “Check For Updates” button in order to download and apply new files. Closing all running application before starting update process is recommended.

JTAG Manager Version 1.36, RIFF Box Firmware v1.27 Released,Tegra 2 Support ! ! !


- added fast presets for automatic selection of settings for most common operations on DCC Read/Write page
For this click Settings by Code button and select a desired preset from list and then click Apply Settings.
For example if user selects "Write Full Image into NAND memory" the valid settings on the DCC Read/Write page
for writting full images into devices with NAND memory will be automatically selected
- fixed serious bug which caused resurrector DLLs which do upload data into RAM to upload broken data
For example DLLs which start Downlad Mode directly use this feature.
- added feature to accept text name of memory chip from DCC Loader and display it (currently used to display eMMC memory product name)
- fixed bug for resumming interrupted DCC Read: ifvcurrently cached file size was greater than > 2GB
(that is if read was interrupted on point when there was already more than 2GB of data read) the new reading data was not appended to the readout file end, but instead the file was corrupted.
- fixed bug for saving big files (after reading on DCC Read/Write page): if size exceeded 0x7FFFFFFF bytes JTAG Manager show no free disk space error.
- added TEGRA2 chipset selection in the Target list
- fixed an issue with the resurrection progress bar: in some cases during resurrection operations the progress bar would always stay at 0%.


Firmware 1.27
---------------------------
- added TEGRA2 debugging support (dual-core Cortex-A9)
- added new breakpoint type: "address mismatch" which allows geniune single-stepping on Cortex-A8,A9 (CoreSight) targets
(thus GDB Server can now perform low-level single step commands)

Some of them are based on different hardware platform – the Samsung S5PV310 (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.

Samsung P1010 is based on the OMAP3630 (ARM core is Cortex-A8).

Note, one simple way to connect over JTAG – connect USB cable to PC and
insert battery. In this case phone is automatically powered on. But
note, in very rare cases it is possible that you will have to hold Power
On key during initial connection.
In case after resurrection (after you have tried with both boot
versions) the download mode is not initiated (LCD remains blank) do
repeat resurrection with ‘Clone Gremlin zone’ option checked.
Please note, in most cases you will be required to insert Samsung P1010
RIFF™ MagicCard into phone’s SD slot before starting resurrection. In
case you don’t have such card yet, you can create it on the “Samsung
P1010 RIFF™ MagicCard” page of the resurrector settings dialog.
This is IRAM version of the Samsung P1010 resurrector. We recommend you
using it only in case you had problems connecting to phone with normal
Samsung P1010 resurrector DLL.

To resurrect Samsung P1010:

• Solder JTAG cable to Samsung P1010 JTAG pads;
  
• Insert Samsung P1010 RIFF™ MagicCard into phone’s SD slot;
  
• Connect USB cable to phone and PC;
  
• Insert battery;
  
• Make sure Samsung P1010 is selected in the list of models;
  
• Click Resurrect button;
  
• Wait till software signals a successful operation completion;
  
• Disconnect USB cable, de-solder JTAG wires;
  

Now phone is in bootable condition, that is, even if it does not
start up normally, you can flash it using original Samsung downloader
software to restore it to the working state.

To enter download mode:

• Disconnect PC cable;
  
• Insert battery;
  
• Hold both ‘Volume Down’ and ‘Home’ keys and press Power-On.
  

There are two DLL-s (Normal and iRAM version) – You can use iRam
version in case normal one doesnt work properly. iRam version is much
slower, but more robust.
