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

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.

RIFF JTAG – CDMA Samsung SPH-D700 Galaxy S Epic 4G Unbrick, Dead Boot repair supported

14.03.2011 CDMA Samsung SPH-D700 Galaxy S Epic 4G Unbrick, Dead Boot repair supported

Samsung SPH-D700 is based on the S5PC110 Processor (ARM core is Cortex-A8). Depending on firmware state resurrection can be a bit confusing: for successful connection you will require charged battery. Please note – no matter whether you have USB cable or not – it must not be connected to phone. This is important.
Resurrector will reflash IBL, PBL, SPL and PARAM areas. Additionally you can select KERNEL and RECOVERY partitions to be reflashed too. Though them are required only for recovery mode and not needed for following USB firmware update by Odin software. So if you don’t need recovery mode don’t select these 2 partitions – otherwise you will just waste time waiting for them to be reflashed.
If after resurrection the download mode still cannot be initiated (LCD remains blank) do repeat resurrection with ‘Clone Gremlin zone’ option checked.

To resurrect Samsung SPH-D700:

  • Solder JTAG cable to Samsung SPH-D700 JTAG pads;
  • Make sure USB cable or charger is not connected;
  • Make sure Samsung SPH-D700 is selected in the list of models;
  • Make sure a fixed TCK frequency is selected;
  • Insert battery;
  • Click Resurrect button;
  • Press Power On key; when you will see “Establish communication with the phone…” message – press Power On ey again (and hold it pressed for 1-2 seconds);
  • 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 original Samsung downloader software to restore it to the working state.

To enter download or recovery mode:

  • Disconnect PC cable;
  • Insert battery;
  • Hold ‘1’ key on the keypad and press Power-On to enter download mode;
  • Hold both ‘Volume Down’ and ‘Camera’ keys and press Power-On to enter recovery mode.

RIFF JTAG – ASUS P526 Unbrick, Dead Boot repair supported

Posted on by

10.03.2011   ASUS P526 Unbrick, Dead Boot repair supported

Resurrection of ASUS P526 is slightly complicated. JTAG pads are very small and sensitive thus extreme care must be taken when soldering wires to the board. Battery must be connected in order to establish JTAG connection.
Current resurrector re-flashes only the IPL area, and will not re-write MDOC XLOADER area (though write of this area is supported too).
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 XLOADER areas. Current resurrector will not touch the XLOADER 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: 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 ASUS P526:

  • Solder JTAG cable to ASUS P526 JTAG pads;
  • Insert battery and connect USB cable to phone and PC;
  • Make sure ASUS P526 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.
If phone not enters download mode after resurrection then it means XLOADER was damaged too but memory chip is still usable. In this case repeat resurrection using RAM Downloader Mode and when USB connection is established reflash the phone with official firmware.

To enter download mode:

  • Disconnect PC cable;
  • Insert battery;
  • Move ‘Lock’ slider down, hold ‘OK’ key (on the left) and press ‘Power ON’ button. In few seconds you should see TriColor picture.

Additional info:

  • Phone has DiskOnChip G4 memory type, which has security features. It has two password protected partitions (Password1 = 12345678, Password2 = 00000000);
  • XLOADER re-flash is not performed in this resurrector on purpose. While re-flashing the XLOADER area there is a risk of permanently blocking the memory chip.
  • Any write access (Erase or Write) on MDOC NAND memory range 0x00000000 to 0x0017FFFF is rejected by the DCC Loader
