Resurrecting HTC Thunderbolt CP (Modem Part) part is easy.
Phone is auto powered on with USB Data Cable connected to the PC while battery is inside; sometimes during connection pressing Power On key may be required.
Please note, CP Part’s power is controlled by the AP Part, thus you may experience constant connection loses after definite ammounts of time (1-2-5-x seconds). If this keeps interferring the resurrection process, solder additionall JTAG interface cable to the AP pads, select AP resurrector DLL, go to the JTAG Read/Write page and halt AP core, then switch back to the CP JTAG interface.

To resurrect HTC Thunderbolt CP (Modem Part) Part:

  •  Solder JTAG cable to HTC Thunderbolt CP JTAG pads;
  •  Insert USB Data cable into board and PC;
  •  Make sure HTC Thunderbolt CP is selected in the list of models;
  •  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.

Resurrecting HTC Thunderbolt AP (PDA Part) is easy. Phone is auto powered on with USB Data Cable connected to the PC while battery is connected.
Resurrector will reflash radio’s boot zone and will re-write PDA’s SPL to 1.04.0000 version. Additionally to SPL and Radio zones, the zone which contains Model ID is re-flashed too. Thus after resurrection phone will have Model ID = ‘PG0510000’.
There is option to reflash BOOT and RECOVERY zones.

HTC Droid Incredible 2 ADR6350 Boot repair, Unlock, CID, ModelID, IMEI Update

Resurrecting HTC Incredible 2 (Droid Incredible 2 ADR6350VW) 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 Incredible 2 boards have JTAG interface disabled (that is enable MARM JTAG Fuse is blown in the MSM8655 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 PDA’s SPL version 6.13.1002. Additionally to SPL and Radio zones, the zone which contains Model ID is re-flashed too. Thus after resurrection phone will have Model ID = ‘PG3210***’.
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 Incredible 2:

  •  Solder JTAG cable to HTC Incredible 2 JTAG pads;
  •  Insert batter and connect USB Data cable;
  •  Make sure HTC Incredible 2 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.

10.01.2012   Samsung GT-i8150 Galaxy W (Samsung Ancora) Unbrick – Boot repair supported

Resurrecting Samsung I8150 is easy. Phone is auto powered on with USB Data Cable connected to the PC while battery is connected.
Please note, MSM8255T is dual core chipset – it has ARM11 and Qualcomm Scorpion cores. During power on sequence only ARM11 core is visible on the JTAG chain. If boots are not completely damaged and it comes up to initializing of the Scorpion core then Scorpion core appears on the JTAG chain too. This will shift ARM11 from TAP0 into TAP1 position on the chain, while current resurrector has the ARM11 core hardcoded at TAP0 position. Thus make sure to establish JTAG connection in the time range while Scorpion core is not visible yet.
To resurrect Samsung I8150:

  •  Solder JTAG cable to Samsung I8150 JTAG pads;
  •  Make sure Samsung I8150 is selected in the list of models;
  •  Insert battery and connect USB Data cable;
  •  If you use only battery, press Power On key;
  •  Click Resurrect button;

Please note: If during resurrection of dead unit the JTAG connection cannot be established (nothing is detected) then re-try with the NRST wire disconnected.

To resurrect Samsung I9103:

  •  Solder JTAG cable to Samsung I9103 JTAG pads;
  •  Insert USB Data cable into board and PC;
  •  Make sure Samsung I9103 is selected in the list of models;
