Let me break this down... This modification means you can NEVER brick your phone. You have to physically destroy it. There's no firmware which can ruin the phone. You simply plug it in and run this tool..

This tool is still a work in progress. It requires a Linux machine (or linux Virtual machine) in order to run. However, it works, and it works well. This tool will work for:

SGH-i897

SGH-i896

SGH-i9000

SGH-i9010

SGH-i997

GT-P1000

T959... We will need to write another tool for other devices.

What this allows is for debugging of entire operating systems without any risk. For example, I installed BADA Bootloaders to my device last night with one of the guys from the BadaDroid project (they're working on porting Android to Bada). My device totally crapped when it saw that firmware, but it gave detailed logging messages about GPIOs. It would be possible to take that firmware and rewrite it to work with our devices, and it basically eliminates that "what if I screw something up" $600 barrier that prevents porting of other operating systems to our devices.

After I flashed Bada bootloaders with the tool above, I simply pulled the battery out, put it back in, connected to USB, used the tool above and it put my phone back into Odin download mode, at which point I reflashed the device.

We need to spread this mod to all the devices. Currently we have SGH-i897 mod done.
[General Topics] StarbuxMcCloud:
That would mean the Samsung GT-I917 (Focus) wouldn't work because it uses a Qualcomm CPU. So why was it included in the list?
[General Topics] Ace42:
I would ask the OP, could be a mistake, unless it still has a xOM5 pin on board. Which could be possible since it's still a Sammy after all. And Sammy makes parts for Apple too. He didn't put any htc phones in the OP, so only Sammy built phones contain the pin he wants.
[General Topics] AdamOutler:
You're right, removed from the list. I must have received some misinformation somewhere.

I have a I9020T Nexus S that a shotty kernel made me loose my baseband and pretty much all phone info including IMEI.

It's pretty much a tiny wifi tablet at this point. That being said I'm not sure I want to part ways with it, but I really don't want to send it off to Samsung.

If you guys have and Ideas on how to fix it, I don't mind using it for testing.

Also may be interested in a PM with instructions on what is needed to get the information you'll need to help develop your work.

Either way, thank you all for the hard work, I think this is an awesome development for our community.

Hey Adam,

I've got a motorola droid here (with a broken speaker/microphone cable, so sound etc doesn't work), which uses the OMAP3430 CPU, would you be interested in this?

Might be very handy for debugging the Milestone, which is pretty much the same, but GSM and with a locked down bootloader.

Shouldn't the list include s5pc110/s5pv210 based devices only? Cortex A8 is a bit general.
[General Topics] AdamOutler:
Thank you. I will review each one for compatibility. They must be based on Hummingbird archetecture... really quickly, I checked the wikipedia on the Droid Charge and it said S5PC110 so that's a go for sure!

I appreciate that, it makes things alot easier

I will add that one. Thanks.

I'm not sure about Motorola products.. I think they mostly use the Qualcom archetecture... I'll verify to make sure.
[General Topics] AdamOutler:
You may be right, but so far that's all we've found in common with the entire range of processors. don't forget the S5PC100, OMAP and A4.

I have an SGH-I777 and an SCH-I535 that I stupidly flashed CWM 4.3 and a 4.3 ROM two weeks ago. Something didn't install correctly as two weeks later they both are soft bricked. The SGH-I777 will go to download mode but my computer wont find anything but the very basic driver (Casual) from Samsung. If I press the power button I get the Samsung Error Message saying an update messed up and to run Emergency Recover in Keis. I try to run it but it freezes at about 30% and then nothing.

The I535 boots to download immediately but the computer wont find any driver. It says it is unrecognizable!

I am not good with linux but good with Old DOS and windows(fair) so I understand the basics just not the specifics.

I tried the one click Heimdall but it didn't find the right driver...

I found this article on the Palm pre and pre plus:

Firstly, the Palm Pre (8GB) and Palm Pre Plus (16GB) come with the very same processor and PowerVR SGX chipset as the iPhone 3GS. The iPhone 3GS uses PowerVR SGX 520 which is a low-end chipset, whereas the Palm Pre has a higher end PowerVR SGX 530 chipset. So in short the Palm Pre can perform better than the iPhone 3GS in regards to 3D Gaming and other multimedia operations.
