RIFF JTAG – HTC Desire Z (HTC Vision) Unbrick, Unlock, IMEI&CID repair supported

12.10.2011    HTC Desire Z (HTC Vision) Unbrick, Unlock, IMEI&CID repair supported

Resurrecting HTC Desire Z is easy. Phone is auto powered on with USB Data Cable connected to the PC while battery is connected.
Some (or all) revisions of HTC Desire Z boards have JTAG interface disabled (that is enable MARM JTAG Fuse is blown in the MSM7230 chip). In this case the JTAG may be enabled only by firmware itself. This is done by the FSBL loader, so writing to FSBL area is artificially disabled in the DCC Loader code. DCC Loader will discard all flashing attempts into FSBL zone and will respond with success code as if flashing succeeded. In this way FSBL zone is protected while user still can flash full image files seamlessly.

Resurrector will reflash radio’s boot zone (except FSBL area) and will re-write one of selected PDA’s SPL versions (0.76.2000 or 0.85.0005). Additionally to SPL and Radio zones, the zone which contains Model ID is re-flashed too. Thus after resurrection phone will have Model ID = ‘PC1010000’.
There is option to reflash BOOT and RECOVERY zones.

Please note, if your phone has the FSBL loader damaged and MCU has JTAG FUSE blown then there is no way to resurrect your phone via JTAG interface.

To resurrect HTC Desire Z:

  •  Solder JTAG cable to HTC Desire Z JTAG pads;
  •  Insert batter and connect USB Data cable;
  •  Make sure HTC Desire Z 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.

To enter download mode:

  •  Disconnect PC cable;
  •  Insert battery;
  •  Hold ‘Volume Down’ key and press ‘Power ON’ button.

RIFF JTAG – RIFF Data Exchange Plugin 1.00 released

Posted on by

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.

Because of big sizes of Full Image files, we don’t host them, instead users share links to file sharing servers where the files are actually uploaded. (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.

Please click “Check For Updates” button in order to download and apply new files. Closing all running application before starting update process is recommended.

Qualcom FullFlash Image Processing Tool:

This plugin works with NAND image files which have generic Qualcomm layout

With help of this plugin you can do:
– Disassemble a full NAND image file previously obtained with JTAG Manager (DCC Read/Write Page);
– Inspect each partition contents (main zone and spare zone) simultaneously;
– Save separate partitions to HDD (only main zone, only spare zone, or both zones);
– Write a chosen partition directly into phone;
– Read a chosen partition directly from the phone and substitute old partition contents to new ones;

Please note, direct read/write operations from/to the phone will require proper resurrector to be set (Resurrector Settings: thus before clicking the Activate Plugin button make sure compatible model is selected as well as other settings like TCK/RTCK frequencies).

You can access it from “Usefull Plugins” TAB :
