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

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.
