SHVE-160K Bricked

My SHVE-160K got bricked while i was goin to change it to a N7000. Now the phone does not turn on. But in the control panel it shows "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" is connected. Please be kind enough to help me to repair my phone.....:crying::crying::crying::crying:

HTC EVO 3D GSM X151M challenge

Here's something new i learned from my phone

Its blank screen, dim red light, QHSUSB_DLOAD... its bricked!!! or is it?

I just laerned if i connect it to PC it goes straight to "QHSUSB_DLOAD" BUT with my battery out it detect "ANDROID 1.0" for 5-10 second then goes to "QHSUSB_DLOAD" mode.

In those seconds i can perform some fastboot(adb dont work) command like getvar all, oem boot, identifier token etc..each with success others with some error in it (i discourage myself from dangerous command until i know what my situation is). All that done by connect and disconecting for each command.

So there, darkspr1te, what is the situation i am at?? even a wild guess could help.

Can we exploit those seconds to revive our phone?

Heres the details on how i discover it, if you interested
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ananjaser1211:
Well it is a REALLY NICE THING to know that you are NOT alone and you DON,T HAVE THE Most weird brick :)

After 8 months and after doing a Failure J-TAG

i found out that my device actualy gets fastboot for 5-10 secs :)

actually from 8.7 to 9.3

too bad Unlocking won,t work

but still maybe some guy can help us

Lets Keep in touch

and yeah i have qhsubs_dlload and red dim light and such
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ZzzzzxXxzzzzZ:
Hahahahahah

Wow that's quick!!!

I was going to reply you there but i was lacking post in development thread

But yeah lets. darkspr1te the only one i know debricking phone without s-on/s-off restriction.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ananjaser1211:
well there might be a light of chance to fix this phone

since they managed to do the eMMC_recover tool for s-on

they might be able to do it for s-off

who knows

only time will tell

and i have been talking to the UNKNOWNFORCE

he also don,t know how to fix it :(

he said

There's not much that can be done, but it also doesn't sound like it's full brick, so I've never run into this. The only thing is if you would like to send it to me, I can try to get it working again, but I can't make any promise, it's something I've never seen before.

well he tried at least :(

anyway thanks aot for him because he told me it might NOT BE A FULL BRICK

and yeah can you flash the unlock_code.bin???

or it shows too many links error?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ZzzzzxXxzzzzZ:
Wow..just WOW. Now I wish my phone JUST bricked, if he/she said never seen something like this before:crying:

Have you got MPRG8260.hex 8260_msimage.mbn file? it's the first step if you decide using the method here(no luck for me though)

I don't get it, if its not bricked, the jtagg people should've fixed it. Last i heard jtag can resurrect anything, including the dead:p

Maybe try take the phone to other jtag shop?

My old backup is on the sdcard and got wiped when my phone bricked.

So i just went to htc dev to get new unlock code, i get this

Error Code: 150.

Error Reason: Extract Token Information Fail.

Did you use the old backup or you get a new one?..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ananjaser1211:
I sent it to 5 deferent shops

they gave me same answer

DEAD

but i don,t know i won,t give up

anyway the Unlock code

So same error i get

and i tried an old Unlock_code.bin

and nothing it gives me TOO MANY LINKS ERROR

and on Linux it gives me protocol error and such

so what it the MPRG8260.hex 8260_msimage.mbn

and using the method here

what about it and can you tell me

because i would LOVE to Try :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ZzzzzxXxzzzzZ:
I usually answer this with "read page one for god sake":D

But remembered the headache i got especially the horror of "My Documentation in debricking Qualcomm Device", i'll spare you:

Its basically turn your phone into one giant sdcard, from there it'll reconstruct its partition piece by piece with help from combination of qualcom msm-baseddevice.mbn and files from a working phone. Thats why this thread run so slow, specially for us non-SHV-E160L. If you managed to get hold of yourself same exact working phone just run backup.bat inside Brixfix-2-2.zip and upload it here, it'll help for both of us.

As for 8260_msimage.mbn, lets hope darkspr1te have better resource department than us.

Thats my take on it. Could be right, half right, or Totallly wrong. Aghh i got that headache again:eek:

and about the partition0.bin

i did not know how to get it using the python command

so what i did is i opened the command and saw were is the directory were it is

so i copied it from the location were it is

but i don,t know if that would work

so here are the files anyway

Great work, man:good:

First, are you using BrixFix V2-1 or this

I think you took partition0.bin meant for SHV-E160L-16GB, it is inside SHV-E160L-16GB right?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ananjaser1211:
actually no i did not take it from inside the SHV-E160L-16GB folder and yes i am using brixfixv2-1

and i about the partition0.bin i can try to get it using the link you sent me tomorow because my friend took his phone

so i have founded a 8660_msimage.mbn and MPRG8660.hex online

can i use them?

Does this solution work on bricked phone which got "Cookie not received" error on QPST ?

Background: I have a qualcomm msm8225 phone called Cherry Flare.. My phone died suddenly when it was charging. I think my phone might have gone through Sudden Death Syndrome, due to which QPST did not work. I have read many forum post where QPST was able to revive phone that got bricked while updating firmware. But in my case it died suddenly and not due to bad firmware updating. As the QPST could not access my eMMC, I think is corrupted beyond repair.

Samsung Galaxy S3 US Cellula

Hey guys,

Great thanks to darkspr1te.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 US Cellular. Model: SCH-R530U.

Boardtype:: MSM8960

I installed a custom Rom on it called Axis and it was working just fine. I installed a file called EZ-Unlock-11.apk with the intent of unlocking it and when I rebooted the phone all that showed up in device manager was USB QH_DLoad. I assume it is hard bricked. Can brixfix help me with this? Or any other method besides Jtag?

I have arch linux and windows 7 64 bit.

This is the first phone that I have ever bricked.

Thanks again guys.

MSM8225 de-bricking progress and questions

Hi darkspr1te, I guess you didn't want PMs so I'll post here first.

I'm trying to apply your debricking solution to a QDL-bricked MSM8225 (HTC Desire X), and got stuck on the second stage boot and just thought I'd check for suggestions, and also if anyone else is working on this maybe they find this interesting. FYI, the phone bricked itself during an OTA upgrade, and was never rooted.

First, the MPRG8X25.HEX file I managed to find, is not designed on this chipset to load onto the common 0x2a000000 which was hardcoded in the qdload.pl script. In fact in the end of the .hex you find this load addr:

:040000058001300046

that is, 0x80013000.

Converting the .HEX to .BIN and changing the load and execute addresses in qdload.pl indeed loads the hex correctly! (failing to change the load addr results in an invalid addr response)

$ perl qdload.pl -pfile Hex2bin-1.0.10/MPRG8X25.bin -lfile 8X25_msimage.mbn

Requesting SoftwareVersion...

Version: PBL_DownloaderVER2.0

Requesting Params...

Params: 06 01 08 00 90 00 00

Uploading file 'Hex2bin-1.0.10/MPRG8X25.bin' to QDLOAD...

Writing 1024 bytes to 0x80013000; 79064 bytes left.

Writing 1024 bytes to 0x80013400; 78040 bytes left.

................. (etc etc etc)

Writing 216 bytes to 0x80026800; 0 bytes left.

It then executes correctly and qdload can communicate with it by sending the secure unlock and magic commands, and get their responses correctly, but unfortunately it then fails on the OpenMulti command:

Executing file...

Sending MAGIC...

Sending secureMode...

Sending openMulti ...

MSG: Open multi failed, unknown error

ERROR: Open multi failed, unknown error

Invalid openMulti response.

The "Open multi failed, unknown error" is actually sent from the first .hex programmer code which is now running on the phone, as a 0xe response message (with included ASCII error). Now, this is where my experience ends and I haven't looked more closely into why it rejects the open multi. I did see some references in this thread earlier that there might be a command necessary after the magic and securemode commands but before the openmulti, to "unlock" the emmc?

Any suggestions?

In either case, the fact that the MPRG8X25.HEX file actually loads and executes is a great start I think, as that otherwise can be a big problem (with signature fails etc).

interesting result + i need some guidance to continue on

i have a LG Nitro HD which has APQ8060 chipset (it only differs in the radio from MSM8x60).

i bricked it by mistakenly doing dd if=/sdcard/system.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 , instead of 27 at the end. so the result was hsusb_qdload . after MANY hours of searching i found a chines software that rescues cellphones from this situation, and it sounded my only option, so i tried it with the files of LG SU640 (which has MSM8660 chipset) since i didn't understand anything from the chines tutorial and these were the only files found and i didn't have any other option anyway (other than Jtagging which is SO expensive here).

the result was that it started writing stuff and it restarted the phone (it was written in the software , in english) but nothing actually happened. but after i restarted my computer and decided to give it another shot, my computer started installing new drivers when i connected my phone, and then i started googling again and i got here , i read a lot here and i realized that i enabled sd-card mode! (i opened the source code of brixfix and i saw that what we need is USBID = 05c6:9025 , i can see Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostics 9025 in device manager , which i assume is the same mode we need) i still didn't check it in Linux, but i'm pretty sure its what we're looking for , since 9008 was written in device manager when i had qdload ).

it looks like MSM8660 files (mbn and hex) are compatible with APQ8060 . now i have to get the appropriate needed files from a working Nitro HD , my question is which files do i need? and how can i get them (i know its using the backup utility in brixfix zip, but i didn't understand what to do exactly)?

thanks in advance

EDIT: looks like they have different partitions (unless not all msm8660 have the same partitioning). i took a look at SHV-E160L-msm8860-partition.csv file and i saw the partitioning and it seems to me its not the same partitioning as the Nitro's since in the Nitro's unbrick tutorial they used the following commands:

dd if=/sdcard/boot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8

dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13

dd if=/sdcard/firmware.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1

dd if=/sdcard/baseband.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14

dd if=/sdcard/system.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p27

my question is: do different devices that use the same chip have different partitions? if yes, how can i discover the partitioning of my device?

should i use dd command according the existing partitioning , not according to the tutorial right?

There are some secure commands that can be sent at this point, i will have to dig out my docs to check, i no longer have a msm unit so will be working blind more than normal. Does the first stage hex respond to other commands ( like NACk and ACK, see python script)

Can you expand on the loading address and how you came about the info?

some units do require signed code and it's possible that the soc is rejecting the execution of the new code.

It's also possible that due to differing parition information it's rejecting the data.

I need to dig out my docs before i can really expand on this. it's been a while.

Do You think this would work?

Do you think this would work on the MSM8960 for the SGH-I747 16GB? I kinda got confused yesterday between using updated T999 bootloaders or update I747 bootloaders because I had re ODIN'ed my my whole phone via Samsung Provided Bins and that bin contained T999 bootloaders and modem that worked and booted properly on my I747 without any problems. Thing is I decided to update that bootloader and modem to the newest version for T999 which in turn caused my dead GS3. So I'm guessing the problem would be a corrupted bootloader? I have the MSM8960 hex and the MSM8960 BIN, but when I try to program these to my SG3 which is in QHUSB mode, it says the "Cookie (If Present) not received error. I've been up studying partitions etc etc but I just can't seem to do it. I think I need the partition_boot.xml and the rawprogram0.xml and or patch0.xml IF those were needed (I'm kinda glitchy right now, no sleep -_-) all I need to do is get my phone into regular odin mode so I can flash all the files back to my baby again (Dropbox 50GB +Nandroid TWRP FTW) (And by files, I mean the proper CSC, Bootloaders, Modem, Platform and Partition files I got from Samsung for my unlocked and modded S3.

Any help getting to rewrite the bootloaders and or getting into ODIN mode?

Any help would be appreciated, I would JTAG, but I don't have the money for it, they aren't hiring 17 year olds around state right now -_- So I guess this would be the opprotunity to help me further my tech knowledge ( I want to do Tech Development like this when I go to college in 2 years :D )

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] stoneheartjp13:
Hi guys, off topic but can this tool be ported to be used for msm 7227?

i have the full rom files like hex, rawprogram and patch0. can this work?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] darkspr1te:
It is possible, this tool makes use of the fact that these devices revert to dev board mode under certain conditions. There are major changes when it comes to partition layouts thought. But the principle remains the same, the hex file allows the CPU to start up in a way that you can then write to the emmc, once the .mbn/sdcard mode files are written you can then rewrite your factory partition.

It is still very much a work around though, some users are getting "cookie not received" errors which we still don't 100% know what it means, top answer are,

1. Not a signed hex, CPU rejects it

2. Damaged emmc, could be kernel wipe bug or true failure of emmc

3. Additional commands are required for further function.

Can I also ask that users that do have a hex file and associated files for the phone, please post what you have, further dissection of the files does assist in learning about how these devices run, e.g I learned everything from the 8960 docs and files before the 8660 files came about.

Also there are a few ports of this programs floating around, but none have been posted for others to research into.

Not to be confused with sister projects like HP touchpad debrick, my debrick contains code from that project and vice versa.

It has also come to light that it may be possible to run a hex from a similar device, but this is not yet confirmed.

I no longer have my Qualcomm device so I have not continued the research , if I get another one then I will.

Darkspr1te
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] darkspr1te:
The apq8060 is running the same core, its 8660 without the modem/radio side, the hex should work but I can't say more than that without testing.
[Motorola Droid 3] Fourstarzzzz:
Hey guys,

I was unlocking my Droid 3 (got code from Verizon) for when I go to Poland this weekend. I put in an old prepaid sim card I had from my last trip to unlock it, and somehow I have 3g etc? My verizon sim is not even in the phone. How is that possible?
[Motorola Droid 3] doogald:
Verizon does not use the SIM to their own network - the phone connects using CDMA, which doesn't use SIM cards. The SIM is used to connect using GSM networks when CDMA networks (either Verizon or one that they have a roaming agreement with) are not available, or if you change the mobile network to GSM.
[Motorola Droid 3] Fourstarzzzz:
That is strange...so the verizon sim in there is just for global roaming?
[Motorola Droid 3] doogald:
That's right. I think, but I'm not 100% sure, that you can store contacts there, if you wish, as well.
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
Stupid question, did you switch it to GSM?
[Motorola Droid 3] rpadula:
hi, sorta of non related but, i'm looking to buy a D3 to use here on GSM networks, the frequencies matches those i'll be using here.

but about the unlock codes, are those sold online working, or there are still some units that no code works? i was reading thru some topics about that and i'm worried....

thanks!
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
Use unlock4moto.com if you do. Some are but I haven't seen many reports lately.
[Motorola Droid 3] doogald:
I just used them a couple of weeks ago and the unlock code they sent me was perfect.

I think that the only issue would be if somebody had tried to unlock successfully - if you enter an incorrect code enough times, the phone will no longer allow you to unlock. The cost at unlock4moto.com was very reasonable, though ($6 US, IIRC).
[Motorola Droid 3] mionica:
Yup, I can confirm that - unlocked mine about 1 month ago. Worked first time - now using a Verizon Droid3 in Ireland with HSPA on 3 :)
