[Nokia Lumia 900] whistler-nl:
Even if the 710 and 800 bootloader are pretty much the same you cant use the signed 710 bootloader if you have to change a single byte as it would break the signature. The model id is in the bootloader so you would have to change at least that and thus break the signature making it useless again (even for the 800).
[Nokia Lumia 900] .NetRolller 3D:
Of course, but we are talking about writing the bootloader directly into the eMMC.

@ankerael: If you are still following the thread, can you check if you have the same IMEI on your SIM tray, as in the About menu? I suspect you have a prototype phone, or at least a prototype PCB installed in a retail casing (perhaps as a result of prior repair). Your firmware version appears to be 2175.0900.8107.12071 - the first released version is 2175.1000.8107.12082
[Nokia Lumia 900] whistler-nl:
We are talking about replacing the locked Nokia bootloader in ANY possible way... Though a way without soldering or opening devices would be preferred.
[Nokia Lumia 900] skiddd:
It's Confirmed!!!

It is a Fully Working Qualcomm OSBL for Lumia 900!

What next?

---------- Post added at 10:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:05 AM ----------

JTAG for the APQ8055 is a possibility through those pads under the SIM Tray.

I will only be able to trace these pads sometime in March.

I cannot guarantee that those pads under the SIM Tray will give us a useable JTAG connection.

But I will really trace it by removing the APQ stacked RAM from the PCB.

FYI, connecting to the MDM9200 JTAG Pads did not reveal a daisy chained connection to the

APQ8055...

If anyone is interested in looking at the official Schematics for this phone, just PM me and I will share a link.

Now here is MDM9200 JTAG pads,,, but it is only useful for SIM UNLOCKING...

B.R.
[Nokia Lumia 900] .NetRolller 3D:
How about trying a JTAG finder first? Should be much easier than removing the CPU...

What tool did you use to write the bootloader into a real phone?
[Nokia Lumia 900] skiddd:
I don't have a JTAG pin finder... how good are they? I don't think it will be able to find the SRST and TRST properly or even the RTCK

without a valid on going communication. Also, I am not 100% sure that those pads are used for JTAG, so the results of a pin finder

would not be very reliable. I just know those pads are used for some kind of debugging.

I used ATF to write the OSBL. I have some beta software going on and just waiting for ankerael's permission to include it in a proper release.
[Nokia Lumia 900] exiva:
Will an ATF box be needed to flash it, or can it just be done with USB?
[Nokia Lumia 900] .NetRolller 3D:
With some help from skiddd, I've decoded the JTAG pinout:

It seems the connector is a combined JTAG and UART port. Also, there is an additional test point on the PCB, which apparently has to be pulled either up or down with a resistor (should be easy to decide with a multimeter) to enable the JTAG and UART feature. However, it may be worth trying JTAG/UART without the test point first - the test point is marked simply "FTM enable", and I guess FTM = factory test mode, but I could be wrong.

@exiva: Currently, an ATF box is required. If JTAG is realized, then all you'll need is a JTAG cable (or an Arduino programmed to act as one).

[Nokia Lumia 900] usr9261231:
It's still possible the flashing trought the mmc reader?
[Nokia Lumia 900] efektos:
Guys, I'd just want to congratulate you for the good work, hoping you'll keep up with it until we - Lumia 900 owners - could have an interop-unlocked device, I'm really hoping this can be done, preferably with a normal USB cable :)
[Nokia Lumia 900] usr9261231:
sorry for the spam; - but I'm planing to put an android fastboot bootloader and flash the os trought usb
[Nokia Lumia 900] .NetRolller 3D:
Bootloader unlocking through a normal USB cable will probably never be achieved - instead, focus is now on a special cable that can be plugged into the SIM socket. The JTAG and UART pins there look promising.

BTW, another discovery that *may* be relevant to USB cable flashing: using NSS Pro, it's possible to put the phone into "WinDiag" mode, which results in 4 serial devices showing up (they will be unknown/no driver at first, however, search for device ID 319A drivers, and edit the ID in the driver INF files to 319B to make them work). The one labeled as "Diagnostics" accepts AT commands, and appears to be related to the APQ (ATI command yields "M7630A-AAEQMWZM-2.1.7528", which IIRC is not what the MDM would say; also, all modem-related commands return ERROR, e.g. cannot query IMEI or IMSI). Anyone has an idea what the command set for this part is, or what part of the firmware is responsible for this?
[Nokia Lumia 900] skiddd:
I could find a similar ATI response here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=29143732

It seems it could be possible to switch to "Emergency Mode" as well???

From experience, the AMSS for the APQ is a "dummy". I have overwritten

it with a Lumia 800 AMSS some months ago, and the phone still works fine.

I also tried corrupting it by putting random FFFF blocks, and the phone would

still boot and work fine.

So I think only the MDM AMSS is actually used by this phone.

Btw, BOOT_SCUR Qfuse is not used for 710, 800 and 900.

B.R.
[Nokia Lumia 900] Bph&co:
Hi,

If the 900 baseband soft is anything like the 710/800, then you need to dump the image somehow, drag to IDA and look for the AT processor

task. There is a huge handler table with at command string + ptr to C handler for each entry. The main problem is that IDA will not automatically

parse this table(maybe my old IDA problem), so you need to do each entry in the table by hand or code a script.

BR
[Nokia Lumia 900] .NetRolller 3D:
Do you know what CPU settings are needed to successfully disassemble the AMSS? I have a dumped version from ankerael (though it's a pre-release version, the ones in our phones may be crippled compared to that), but if I try to load it as ELF with the same CPU settings that work for the OSBL, I get only garbage.

(Yes, I verified it's not an encrypted image - the ELF headers are readable in the clear.)
[Nokia Lumia 900] Bph&co:
Hi,

In theory the ELF file contains all needed info. In case not - use ARM little endian.

BR
[Nokia Lumia 900] ankerael:
I do confirm that the IMEI on SIM tray and in the About Menu is the same...
[Nokia Lumia 900] usr9261231:
ill try to connect the phone to the reader in these days and see what happens
[Nokia Lumia 900] .NetRolller 3D:
According to skiddd, you will probably need to use some kind of buffer circuit between the phone and the reader - similar to a buffered JTAG cable.

EDIT: If you succeed, remember to save your old bootloader - ankerael will be thankful for it.
[Nokia Lumia 900] Sarge020:
Can anyone give details about whether this procedure is for recover the phone after formatting trought usb cable?

If so, I wonder what I need to do the procedure.

Greetings.
[Nokia Lumia 900] usr9261231:
And if I didnt use one?
[Nokia Lumia 900] .NetRolller 3D:
Probably it won't detect any card plugged in. But you should try, maybe your card reader already has a buffer built in for stability.

Hi!

Do you have a lumia900 no lock OSBL, do not know what your problem is not resolved, if not I have a method.

! ! ! Attention! ! ! Use windows7

The first step; download 7.8 firmware package. Download a 7-zip compression tool.

The second step; the official's xxxxx_boot.esco Firmware right-click with 7-zip to extract to the current directory.

The third step; then will get boot.img file downloader brush into the phone can be.

Going to a Nokia care-center is out of the question? You must still have the 1-year manufacturer guarantee as the Lumia 900 is not even 1 year old.

You could play dumb if they ask you what happened ("I put the phone to charge during night, went to sleep and when I woke up this is what I saw", etc.).

Other than that - I suppose that yeah, this is the best option you've got - paying those 125$, in case you can't go to a Nokia care center....

[Nokia Lumia 900] E:V:A:
What do you mean exactly by overwriting "AMSS"? Where, when and how?. Be careful with this, because if you're talking about the eMMC partitions, there are usually at least two for the modem. In this CP-AP configuration, One modem image is kept in modem memory, another encrypted on "disk" and the same goes for the modem shared memory in AP. Then there's always backup images, that flip-flop during trouble. So even if you're not seeing problem right away, you may create a problem for the future ...

I recently switched to Linux Mint Maya. Windows 7 had started to become an absolute headache with constant activation problems and then the kernel took a dump, prompting me to switch entirely to Mint. I've got almost everything set up, got some native Windows-equivalents as well, but even with the awesomeness that is Wine, I can't get some of my favorite Windows-based Android utilities working, such as Android Commander (which had a Linux version, could not get it running), or the Side Load Wonder Machine (also a Linux version, but no download link exists). I can mount my phone's storage and move the apps there, but I miss the information panel and mass-installer that Commander offered. It seems there are damn near no apps or utilities like this for Linux, and the Windows ones will not run in Wine. Am I alone in this?
