25.08.2011  HTC Wizard 200 Unbrick – Boot repair supported

Resurrection of HTC Wizard 200 is simple. Battery must be connected in order to establish JTAG connection.
Current resurrector works with devices based on G4 MDOC chip.
Resurrector can repair IPL and SPL areas (which areas to repair you can select in popup window).
Please note: DiskOnChip G4 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 area. Thus be very carefull not to interrupt IPL repair process (in case you have selected IPL area to be repaired).
In case your device has permanently blocked MDOC memory you will see this error:

****************************************************************
Detected a Not Initialized FLASH1 Chip ID: 0x0400/0xFBFF
ERROR: Selected FLASH Chip was not initialized by the DCC Loader
****************************************************************
This can happen due to unknown protection keys used or due to permanently blocked MDOC chip. If latter is true we advise you to solder a new flash memory chip or throw this phone away to the trash bin.

  •  Solder JTAG cable to HTC Wizard JTAG pads;
  •  Insert battery and connect USB cable to phone and PC;

RIFF JTAG – JTAG Manager v1.35 released

Posted on by

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.
