Resurrecting Huawei EC1260 is simple. Just make sure you solder all JTAG signals and insert modem into a USB port for it to get powered.
If modem is not detected by RIFFBOX JTAG, disconnect JTAG connector, re-insert modem into USB and then connect back the JTAG connector.
At resurrection startup you can select which zones are to be re-flashed. Thus you can save a lot of time if you know approximately which zone is damaged. Select EFS or MMC areas to be flashed only in case you are sure those are damaged – these areas quite big in size; unnecessary reflash is just a waste of time.
Please note, if you chose EFS to be repaired, an original ESN will be lost and substituted with the one contained in resurrection data. Current resurrector does not support ESN repair.

To resurrect Huawei EC1260:

  • Solder JTAG cable to Huawei EC1260 JTAG pads;
  • Insert Huawei EC1260 modem into any USB port for power;

Samsung I9023 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.
Current resurrector has two different versions of primary boot loaders (PBL) embedded. This depends on hardware version of your phone which boot to use, thus in case of failure (cannot enter download mode after resurrection) of first loader try selecting another.
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 I9023:

  • Solder JTAG cable to Samsung I9023 JTAG pads;
  • Connect microUSB cable to phone and PC;
  • Insert battery;
  • Make sure Samsung I9023 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 ‘Home’ keys and press Power-On.
