RIFF JTAG – CDMA QUALCOMM QSC1100 Generic DLL released

Posted on by

06.04.2011    CDMA QUALCOMM QSC1100 Generic DLL released

Resurrector QSC1100 X14 contains only DCC Loader, thus it is to be used only for operations on DCC Read/Write page in the JTAG Manager.
Embedded DCC Loader is designed to work inside of MCU’s internal RAM memory, thus it is not sensitive to external SDRAM configuration or availability or its physical state.

Initial H/W init sequence will setup MCU’s PLL with these parameters:

  • Clock Multiplier = 0x14

Since few different versions of QSC1100 resurrector may exist (with different multiplier values) you may select the one which suits best to your device.

RIFF JTAG – HTC Advantage X7510 (HTC Athena) Unbrick – Boot Repair supported

Posted on by

04.04.2011  HTC Advantage X7510 (HTC Athena) Unbrick – Boot Repair supported

Resurrection of HTC Athena is easy. Most convenient is to have USB cable connected and battery inserted.
If during connection progress bar in JTAG Manager keeps running from 0 to 100% press with stylus the reset button on the phone (reset button is near to the JTAG pads).
Resurrector will reflash IPL and SPL areas. You can select SPL version to be flashed in the settings window which popups before resurrection. IPL which is flashed: “ATHENA IPL DVT 2.02 H3” version.
Current resurrector works only with HTC Athena hardware revisions which have DiskOnChip H3 memory chip installed. If you have hardware revision with DiskOnChip G4 memory chip used then select different resurrector.

To resurrect HTC Athena with DiskOnChip H3:

  • Solder JTAG cable to HTC Athena JTAG pads;
  • Insert battery and connect USB cable to phone and PC;
  • Make sure HTC Athena 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 known flashing methods.

To enter download mode:

  • Disconnect PC cable;
  • Insert battery;
  • Hold ‘Camera’ key and press ‘Power ON’ key or use stylus to press ‘Reset’ button. In few seconds you should see TriColor picture.

Additional info:

  • DiskOnChip H3’s full NAND memory chip is divided into partitions by the internal memory controller. Thus DCC Loader creates virtual FLASH chip for each partition – you can read/write these partitions by selecting proper ROM index (“Access ROMi Address Space”) on the JTAG Manager’s DCC Read/Write page;
  • DiskOnChip H3 has no spare zones, thus only Main field must be used during write operations. ECC Enable checkbox has no meaning here.

31.03.2011 RIFF Data Exchange Plugin 1.00 released
First release of the RIFF Data Exchange Plugin: please download it, and then select it on Usefull Plugins page in the JTAG Manager to read short description about the plugin’s abilities. In short it allows RIFF BOX users to share and use Full Image files in centralized manner without need to waste a lot of time for browsing countless forums.

(like megaupload.com, rapidshare.com and others) You can browse existent links for required image file or share your image file (by sharing a http link) to help other RIFF BOX users.

If you share image file please take attention to carefully fill file details so for other people this to be an easy task to search for required file (link)
If you used link to download file and found it good or bad or link to be broken – please Rate this link so other users see the usability of the link.
At the moment of first release of this plugin there are already few links shared so you’ll catch the idea fast.

RIFF JTAG – JTAG Manager v1.29, RIFF Box Firmware v1.21 released

Posted on by

31.03.2011  JTAG Manager v1.29, RIFF Box Firmware v1.21 released

JTAG Manager 1.29
—————————

  • Fixed bug with plugins managing in case there is more than 1 plugin DLL available;
  • Currently selected plugin is remembered now and will stay on next startups;
  • Fixed Access Violation error during software startup in case there is none resurrector DLL present;
  • Added Reset Method selection feature for more precise reset operation when Custom Target Settings is active;
  • Updates manager & Updates tracking were completely reworked, and now are based not on the system time but on file’s hashing.
    Thus since now on the JTAG Manager’s installation folder can be copied/moved/re-installed (whatever else) without need to re-download full set of files again.
  • (SDK): more functions are now available (exported) for future Resurrector DLLs;
  • Many cosmetic changes;
  • FINALLY: “healed” the optimized DLL loading scheme:
    User shall see: “Found and Initialized: XXX New and YYY Old External Repair Pack(s)” where XXX must be always non-zero only on first startup after there were new DLLs downloaded from the support.
    On following JTAG Manager startups XXX shall be always equal to zero (!!!)
    For example, after downloading 3 more new DLLs while there were 100 Resurrector DLLs already installed, after JTAG Manager restarts user shall see:
    Found and Initialized: 3 New and 100 Old External Repair Pack(s)
    on next and all following restarts user shall see:
    Found and Initialized: 0 New and 103 Old External Repair Pack(s)
  • Re-worked balloon hints system – Own (not windows’) balloons are shown, so no matter now what are the windows’ tray icon settings are.
  • Added balloon hints for cases when target is not detected, error code 0x45, Device Id = 0x000000E1.
    Don’t forget that balloons hints can be switched on or off from the DCC Read/Write page – click “Notifications…” and select”For Advanced Users” page to see settings
  • – JTAG Manager now has new Icons 🙂
  • – Improved JTAG Manager restarting during updating itself

Firmware 1.21
—————————

  • Added RX-polling feature (debugger-to-target) for PXA3XX DCC transfers.

RIFF BOX firmware is able now to wait (if resurrector DLL will request so) for PXA3XX target to be ready to accept
next packet over DCC: this feature slows down a little the JTAG-to-Target DCC
transfers but guaranties no packets loss for slow clocked targets;
