RIFF JTAG – CDMA Motorola w210 supported

Posted on by

16.12.2011 CDMA Motorola w210 supported

Resurrecting Motorola W210 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.
Current resurrector contains Firmware and EEPROM zones for memory chip with ID 0x0089/0x8855

To resurrect Motorola W210:

  •  Solder JTAG cable to Motorola W210 JTAG pads;
  •  Connect charger for auto power on or use battery;
  •  Make sure Motorola W210 is selected in the list of models;
  •  Click Resurrect button;
  •  Choose which areas to flash;
  •  Wait till software signals a successful operation completion;
  •  De-solder JTAG wires;

RIFF JTAG – JTAG Manager v1.36, RIFF Box firmware v1.27, GDB Server v1.05 released

Posted on by

07.10.2011   JTAG Manager v1.36, RIFF Box firmware v1.27 released

Whats new :

JTAG Manager 1.36
—————————
– 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)

RIFF GDB Server v1.05
—————————–
– Added Thumb2 instructions CBNZ and CBZ for single stepping
– Added more Thumb2 32-bit branch exctructions for single stepping
– Added CoreSight low-level signle-stepping support (at least RIFF BOX Firmware v1.27 is required)

RIFF JTAG – HTC Wizard 200 Unbrick – Boot repair supported

Posted on by

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.
To resurrect HTC Wizard:

  •  Solder JTAG cable to HTC Wizard JTAG pads;
  •  Insert battery and connect USB cable to phone and PC;
  •  Make sure HTC Wizard is selected in the list of models;
  •  Press Power On key
  •  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’ button.

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

Posted on by

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: 0x0200/0xFDFF
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 0x0200; capacity is 64Mb+64Mb); though current DCC Loader was tested to read/write correctly only the SPL zones.
