22.06.2011  Samsung Galaxy S 4G (T959v 1GB) Unbrick – Boot repair supported

Samsung T959V is based on the S5PCxxx Processor (ARM core is Cortex-A8).
Note, one simple way to connect over JTAG – connect USB cable to PC and insert battery. In this case phone is automatically powered on. But note, in very rare cases it is possible that you will have to hold Power On key during initial connection.
In case after resurrection (after you have tried with both boot versions) the download mode is not initiated (LCD remains blank) do repeat resurrection with ‘Clone Gremlin zone’ option checked.

To resurrect Samsung T959V:

  • Solder JTAG cable to Samsung T959V JTAG pads;
  • Connect microUSB cable to phone and PC;
  • Insert battery;
  • Make sure Samsung T959V is selected in the list of models;
  • Make sure a fixed TCK frequency is selected;
  • 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 original Samsung downloader software to restore it to the working state.

To enter download mode:

  • Disconnect PC cable;
  • Insert battery;
  • Hold both ‘Volume Down’ and ‘Volume Up’ keys and press Power-On.

RIFF JTAG – HTC Desire HD A9191 (HTC Ace) Unbrick, IMEI, CID, ModelID, Simlock repair

Posted on by

16.06.2011   RIFF JTAG – HTC Desire HD A9191 (HTC Ace) Unbrick, IMEI, CID, ModelID, Simlock repair

Resurrecting HTC Desire HD 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 HD boards have JTAG interface disabled (that is enable MARM JTAG Fuse is blown in the MSM8255 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 to 0.85.0007 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 = ‘PD9810000’.
There is option to reflash BOOT and RECOVERY zones. If selected, then ClockworkMod Recovery v3.0.2.8 will be flashed.

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 HD:

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

RIFF JTAG – JTAG Manager v1.33, RIFF Box firmware v1.25 released

Posted on by

RIFF Box Firmware 1.25
—————————

  • Added 5.0V USB Power On/Off controlling feature
  • Changed sequence for 32-bit write accesses for ARM11 core (MSM8xxx support)

JTAG Manager 1.33
—————————

  • Improved connection policy:
  • Resurrection/DCC connection to device is implemented in such way that JTAG speed changes have 2 stages – booting stage and working stage.
    Booting stage is the one from the connection start and until the DCC Loader upload is complete. Booting TCK/RTCK speed are setup by JTAG Manager no matter what are the TCK settings by user (JTAG TCK Speed field in the JTAG Manager). Booting speed is hardcoded in the DLL.
    After “booting” stage is complete, the “working” speed is set – the one which is selected by user in the JTAG TCK Speed field.
    If Booting Speed in resurrector DLL is hardcoded as ‘RTCK’ the JTAG Manager would always use RTCK mode during booting stage.
  • Now policy is changed that is when user selects a fixed TCK frequency the JTAG Manager will automatically change booting speed to the fixed TCK too.
  • Fixed bug: if “Use End Address” and “AutoFull Flash Size” were checked there was error setting valid length to read.
  • For Advanced Users: advanced settings are now moved from the DCC Read/Write page (“Notifications…”) into separate button on Box Service page (Advanced Settings button)
  • Added 5.0V USB Power On/Off controlling feature
  • For this go to Box Service page, click Advanced Settings: the Notifications dialog will be displayed, go to “Advanced Settings” page and set desired mode for “Enable 5.0V output” checkbox.
  • When enabled, 5.0V power will be on after any “JTAG” operation executed and will remain “ON” until box restart or until “Enable 5.0V output” checkbox is unchecked and any “JTAG” operation is executed.
  • Added optimization for flashing memory devices which are sector-based (like MDOC H3 or MMC/SD memory cards) if error code 0x3C (write-protect) is received no recover attempts are made.
