*edit*
I updated the heremes FAQ in the Wiki with this info, should I place it somewhere else in the wiki?
Worked for me like a charm. This is windows vista premium edition.

I get an error message that says:
"The update does not apply to your system"
I am running Vista Premium Edition too, but still cannot sync files to the data card in my 8525.
Anyone else run into this problem?

lol the platters are basically the same , the disk controller/driver motors and buffers are the big diff. besides my array was SATA. what happened is that my old nforce board had a fan over the southbridge that stopped functioning. it overheated and begin working erratically until it just stopped. this is a big piss off cause that board isnt available anymore and i lost the array. so I upgraded to a pentium d 925/ 4coredual-vsta board from asrock. got to keep my old geforce 6600 and can upgrade slowly. I had to use my backup computer with unbuntu and my powerbook for a little over a week. it wasnt a super experience but it worked. then on top of all that my DSL modem died! I have a cisco adsl modem on its way but now Im using a backup dsl modem.

I've run MySQL, MSSQL, Access, Alpha ISAM on x86 TSR, all on Adaptec/Promise RAID IDE/SATA and Adaptec, Perc, Compaq, DPT... RAID SCSI all under business application, monitor the bad sector count as they rise on IDE/SATA, SCSI just keeps truckin... Then there was always the little problem with the raid tables being stored on the drive under IDE/SATA media, when the disk is full, the tables get overwritten... -Nice feature for creating more disk space...
It has been my experience that cheaper media cannot take the pounding of constant writes when OS flushes cache to disk, beyond that, the features of the cheaper raid solution just don't fall within mission critical requirements.

it really depends on the manufactuer. google just finished a drive reliability study concluding that there was no real difference between any particular drive manufacturers enterprise and consumer drives as far as reliability go. I have had only 1 consumer hard drive fail on me in over 10 years. all I had to do was mount it upside down though and it keeps on trucking. the diff between scsi and ide are in the way the controller writes data to the disk and reads. the platters are for the most part the same. more expensive drives have better motors heads and on board controllers and warranties. in either case it was not the drives that failed it was the nforce raid controller that overheated.
I've dropped my XDA IIs on the sidewalk - and ... well it does not look very good now - the display is broken - the rest seems fine. I'm trying to buy a new display but there are more models on the market - and there seems to be with the generation of my device.
How do i find out what generation my device is ?

After a bit of looking around it hit me that i need to know the board id for my device - this is the dump file from haret dump gpio bagpio - changed ext to txt in order to upload.
Can anyone help me with this one ?

under the battery is also a sticker
it tells you the model and manufacure as well as imei etc etc . the board type IEH20B and such is on that sticker.
or if the device is still usable other then the screen ie will connect and activesync. there's a program called my mobiler or just use the wm power tool activesync display that lets you see and control it frol you pc. and you can look at the details that way to determine the model.
hope this helps.
It's PH20B - so how do i find my board id ?
On the other thread the guys said it should be 0X5 or 0x6. Is there any table where i can pull this out from ?

which thread were you looknig at, as the part number is listed on the sticker as P/N at the bottom of it. which should be unique to that handset
or would be printed on the PCB itself, also LCd's have a sticker usually as well on the back of them that have part nuber as they are never manufactured by the phone manufacture

I have some experience with JTAG.
Segger J-Link with PSAS.
I have "Testdevice"... broken Display... soon I will try to connect.
Testpoints and JTAG dump floating somewhere in Internet.
My Questions:
1.
Someone tried Segger with S8500?
2.
Many more Questions to come.
Best Regards
P.S.:
http://www.gsmupload.com/beta-test-thread-samsung-wave-s8500-repair-here/
Edit 1:
Tried to edit Thread title...
...and not yet attached my S8500 to JTAG
oh yeah !!! sachinsud an indian guy bought a riff box... and he tried...
i thnik that you are in the right way...
btw have you tried to connect the wave with broken display to a external monitor?
the wave have video output!
cheers!
At the moment my damaged S8500 is good enough for training.
Only glass is broken...
I have an 512 MB dump from S8500 via JTAG... NOT my. But interesting for study.
I play as long as I can with Multiloader. With AMSS and maybe soon with Bootloaders... and only if I brick this S8500, I will try my Segger JTAG...
About TV out.
I bought Original Samsung AV cable, because normal AV cable seems to have other Pins connected.
But very impressive to see some Games or Videos from my handset on TV.
Never seen before...
my last handset is from 2006.

So maybe my J-Link will work...
I'll try next month... but started today.
With removing Label.
I can see now Testpoints are big enough for my solder skills.
And easy in 2 rows, with enough space between.
Maybe I'll play solderless... but lonoooog time ago my MSM6250 experiences.

Edit 2.
I hope you see difference between pro stuff.
1 of these 3 Pics is not my...
need some info about connect to Samsung Cortex-A8 S5PC110 and dump internal memory.
what software need with my JTAGs:
- TI XDS560PCI;
- SpectrumDigital XDS510USB;
- Blackhawk USB2000;
- Altera USB-Blaster;
- Altera ByteBlaster2 (LPT);
- Wiggler (LPT);
- Luminary Micro Development Board;
- NXP LPCXpresso LPC1114 Development Board.
According to this:
http://www.segger2.com/index.php?page=Thread&postID=1786&highlight=s5pc100#post1786
...we are able to recognized the cpu type as cortex A8, but all the memory content are zero...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The proper Software for S8500 is mandatory and much more important as Hardware.
Few of the JTAG Masters are able to make own JTAG Hardware for less then 20 Euro.
But the Software...
If Bootloader alive, then higher chance to have connection with any JTAG Hardware and CPU only... memory is something different...
But if Bootloader is erased, then CPU Bootcycle... and it is nearly impossible to halt CPU without proper Software to have access to memory... RAM or NAND.
Next week I can maybe answer, if I had success with my J-Link... now I must wait for my second S8500 compatible JTAG.
Best Regards
Try OpenOCD, may (but dont have to) work. It should support A8. Btw in s5pc110 manual we can read about some new debugging interface except jtag, anyone ever seen this?
Last time I checked OpenOCD did not have the driver for writing NAND through s5pc110. Is it available now?
Gah, it isn't, i confused something. :/
Btw.
Why do you want to make full internal memory dumps, while these seems to be ones you're looking:
http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f665/share-full-flashes-1245293/
Compared S8530 FULL_RAW posted there with boot_loader.mbn, first bytes are exactly the same
Of course these could be RAM images, but why would them be called "full flashes"? ;d
@ Rebellos
Very good Link.
S5250 + S8500 + S8530 JTAG Dump.
And meanwhile ... I9000 Dump for study.
Thank you very much.

First attempt.
I have soldered 8 wires...
Anyone found Pictures of soldered wires in S8500...
Please post.
Any hints/tips are welcome. As I have at the moment no idea if I can insert Battery... or I have to hold... maybe I have to insert something to protect wires...
Thanx in advance.
Battery pins are quite big, try to use ac/dc 3-4V converter stabilised by some capacitor and clips on pins.
This is my wires for JTAG. Used standart battery for power.
and pinout for JTAG.
Thanks, how are you powering Wave? does battery fits together with cables or have to wire DC too?
In theory you can use USB cable to power on...
I have only used battery and pressed Button.
Now my S8500 is alive again.
Next attempt is to prepare my XXJB6 Bootloader... I will see if Wave is then dead again or Bootloader is usable...
Best Regards
Seems I'll need 30 minutes for 256 MB reading...
So 512 MB complete 1 hour...
Ehm, I'm tooo dumb to dump OneNAND.
Can someone please help me.
What I need to set/enter/press...
This is what I did... See Screenshot. I can read something from 0x42480000... but this is not what I want.
Please correct settings needed.
Thanx in advance.
Best Regards
It isn't "Memory reading" for sure, not directly at least.
Probably oneNAND reading isn't possible by some clicks and you need driver for oneNAND in script. oneNAND is controlled by modifying special registers under 0xB000_0000 address space. If you want oneNAND dumps you have to find driver for that or do it through FOTA using BL3 function Flash_Read_Data and rebell_memdump from our SVN repo.
Maybe I've found my mistake...
Now I can read something at 0... will see in an hour what it is.
Best Regards
Edit 1.
Okay, I have my 512 MB Dump.
But under DCC Red/Write Tab... and need to set few things... so not only press 1 Button.
Less then 30 minutes for 512 MB Reading...
Now I have to learn how to write safe.
As I don't need Full 512 MB write, only 4 MB at Start...
to prevent erase full 512 MB
Hi Guys,
I recently bought Xperia Arc S on ebay. I was actually out smarted by the listing where the warranty claimed as if it is under sony warranty but somewhere in the listing the seller cleverly mentioned it is under dealer warranty and only covers software problem. Having overlooked to see it I paid for the phone and got it delivered.
I am not very keen on the warranty but I want to know if I have bought the original model and not fake chinese copy. Is there a way to find if it is fake or cheap copy phone..
The phone has Gingerbread, The box claims its from Lund, Sweden. It came with the seal not tampered. The back of the phone where serial number is written has something like SAR & chinese symbols where we usually see the MADE IN CHINA MADE IN FINLAND Written. this phone does not have anything of that sort written but I am not able decipher what those chinese letters say.
This is my first android so not able to differentiate if this is original or fake. When I cannot the phone to PC, the Sony pc companion poped up and installed the PC suite.
also the phone has Chinese Keyboard has default, which I do not understand because if it is to be sold in Sweden then default should be Swedish. also got the HAMI and those Chinese Apps installed in the phone..
Please experts advice on how I could find if its original or copy phone... Will post pics if required.
Thanks in advance.
I may not be an expert, but sometimes the Xperia Arc does default to a chinese? (i think its more of japanese) keyboard. Best way to make sure is to contact Sony support and ask them about the serial number on the back of your phone. Pics of it would also explain better.
Heats up
Correct !! Since I do not know if that is chinese or Japanese I am also puzzled. The phone also heats up near the camera part very quickly even with no 3G or internet activity.
If I would contact sony support, Would they help even for non warranty phones. I mean phones not bought through their dealers.
first of all go to settings--about phone--.check your model number and all the other infos
you can connect your phone to pc and open the flashtools it will show your xperia model number and all that stuff((corrrect me if i am wrong))

They will help you to identify if phone is genuine or not and tell you if warranty exists.
They won't offer to repair phone or exchange.
Sent from my LT15i using xda premium
take a pic of the stuffs below the battery..let us see
Pics
it shows the model number as LT18i, Android Version as 2.3.4.
I read somewhere that Arc S should have swype keyboard in messaging, I searched everywhere and could not find it. I could see Full Qwerty & 12keypad option only.
I am unable to post the link to the pics I have taken as I have post less than 10
Edit: Sony PC companion got installed and detected the phone as Sony Ericsson XPeria arc S(LT18), it requested me to update the phone to ICS 4.0 .. I chose not to because If I find this as copy phone then the seller might not accept returns.
Lost peace of mind & I wish I had read the listing properly and also wish Ebay makes some policy changes so that sellers don't easily trick by hiding important information in small letters inside the listing description.
Edit 2: Also the sync process with FB downloads all pics to my phone gallery but when I try to open these pics, the quality of the pic is so bad. it looks as if it is taken from VGA camera. also all the FB updates in Timescape have poor quality. Is this all normal ?
its ok dude.maybe that dealer got the phone from customs and selling it without bill..chill..

Thanks Arpith, so you mean to say that the phone should be genuine since it accepts PC companion automatically and tries to update to ICS.
I am also convinced but its just that I find it hard to digest as I have seen this chinese apps and messaging on the phone. I am always scared of chinese market.. Man they clown anything in this world but not sure if they can also clone Xperia just like that...
What about the FB pics in Gallery & Timescape not loading properly. How can I rectify those arpith ?
u cant really say that its fake just by looking into photos which was imported on your phone..
do one thing...take down the imei number and go to http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com and follow instructions..give all the details and it should give u the bootloader unlock code...if it gives then the imei number is valid..
u can also download Quadrant Standard and Check the phone performance and Speed
as far as i know sony never use chinese behind the battery..it would be really helpful if u could upload the pics somewhere

since your phone was detected by PC suite and looking at your benchmark results
I think your phone is genuine.....Congrats
and don't follow the op advice to go to Sony Ericsson boot loader unlocking site and entering your imie,as it will void your warranty...........
Thanks Abhisheak. DId you take a look at that pic ? what do you think that SAR & symbols could possibly mean ?
Sorry !! But I already tried to enter the IMEI on the unlocking site, to my nightmare it rejected the IMEI number saying. Enter only 14 digits

did u pay via cash/check /bank transfer/ or paypall if your fast with bank transfer u can put a hold on it if you paid cash or check its harder but if u paid with paypal take the matter up with them instead of ebay if ur within the time limit they have buyer protection aswell as seller protection and if they can they will over rule ebay in offering u a refund i had this problem buying off there and reguardless of which always was refunded
Paid through Paisapay similar to paypal. Yes I can take up the matter immediately and request for refund provided I have concrete info that this is a copy make.
So far, the test & results are positive.
1) Phones automatically installed PC companion and asks for ICS 4 update.
2) Quadrant standard test results are Ok
3) No Lag found so far
4) Able to download and install from Google Play
5) Screen Looks nice
6) Got with box seal intact
Concerns Though
1) Phone heats up very rapidly
2) Phone back has some chineese or symbols which creates doubts in my mind
3) battery not so good
4) Camera not convincing
5) Timescape doesn't load pictures properly
6) Gallery takes lot of time to refresh
7) FB pictures in gallery are blurry & low quality
Now situation is cat on the wall
Normal arcs will heat up in the top section when charging or if the processor is in use. Not a big issue.
The points from 5 onwards are not a cause for concern. Timescape background images are low res anyway.

yea u need to enter only 14 digits out of 16 digits..it was clearly mentions in the instructions which numbers to omit..anyways looking at the system info it looks like you got the original arc s..chinese may give same carbon copy of the phone but they will never give same hardware..but ur phone has the hardware of the original arc s...

I have no idea where you got that info from. The key is generated using an algorithm. Which means you can type in any random 14 digit number and a key would come up.

Hello all,
So, I was recently trying to install Ditto Note 3 on my phone (I just got a Note Pro tablet so I was excited to get my Note II up to speed!), and it was sort of working, but there were some issues. I haven't changed my ROM since last year (I was still on 4.1.2) and thought I'd try updating my bootloader to see if that would help. I found instructions from dr.ketan on post #2789 on the Ditto Note 3 thread (I can't post links yet) with a link to the MJ5 bootloader. I followed his instructions exactly (I don't know if this makes a difference, but the only thing I didn't do was install Ditto Note 3 first; the active ROM was JellyBeans) -- I extracted the file and flashed it using heimdall:
Code:
heimdall flash --BOOTLOADER BL_N7100XXUEMJ5_1903221_REV04_user_low_ship.tar.md5 --verbose

Then the Note II turned off. That was this afternoon, and it hasn't responded since.
I've tried all combinations of keypresses, pulling the battery, pressing keys with and without the battery in, plugging it into the computer (adb doesn't detect it, nor does fastboot), plugging it into the wall (with a regular charger and also a USB wall adapter) .. I don't know what else to try. No matter what I do, the screen does not turn on, and the computer does not detect it. The battery was at least at 60% when I was doing that, so unless it spontaneously failed, I don't think it's that.
I don't know what to do. I did some searching and found things about Riffbox and JTAG? That is all foreign to me, and I don't know if they are viable options, or if there's just some simple thing I'm missing.
I'm really bummed about this .. does anyone have any ideas on what could be wrong, or what else I could try? Any help is greatly appreciated
Update: Verizon & Samsung couldn't repair; what now?
I stopped by the Verizon Store yesterday, and they tried basically the same things I had tried. They didn't seem to have anything more specialized for troubleshooting than what I've been using, and told me as much. They suggested I speak with the Samsung folks at the nearby Best Buy, but they told me that they are not even allowed to work on rooted phones at all. Neither the people at Verizon or Samsung had any helpful suggestions on how to actually repair it, unfortunately, and the phone is still not responding.
I keep coming back in my searches to Riffbox or JTAG for repairing or "ressurrecting" the phone but I have no experience with this kind of equipment. Does anyone here know anything about it? If such tools are universal, it may be worth learning, because I don't foresee myself stopping rooting/flashing/potentially hard-bricking my devices any time soon.
I also found a service that offers repair using these tools. Has anyone had experience with such services? If hard-bricking like this is a rarity it may be better to just get a repair with them and move on.
Please, any help or guidance is greatly appreciated.
Update #2
Because other things have been taking priority, and I did at least have my old Droid X as a backup, nothing has really changed since my last post. It may be a little while until there is anything more to report.
I am a little discouraged that no one has replied at all, but for the benefit of anyone who might experience a similar issue in the future I will continue to update this thread until I find some kind of resolution, replies or not.

And here some sort of manual on howto do it: http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f716/how-repair-n7100-dead-boot-1651472/
Warning it is missing a lot of details and overall i would advise you to let an expert/samsung/repair shop/specialized third party do it.

mnm1992, thank you so much for the guidance! I have ordered a USB jig which is on the way, and if that does not work, I will explore the JTAG option some more as time allows.
Update #3: Still no jig, sending for repair
Hey all. Finally updating after over a month!
I've been waiting on the USB jig, so I've still been using my Droid X with ICS/flavors of JB. I primarily use my tablet these days anyway (with tethering off the X on Bluetooth!), so it's thankfully not too big of a deal, but since the jig still hasn't arrived (I contacted the vendor of course), I'm moving forward with just getting it professionally repaired. Tomorrow I will be sending it out for JTAG repair at MobileTechVideos, which through my Googling I've heard does an excellent job. I also heard they don't update you much, so I may not have anything to report until my phone gets back. But report I shall! Here's hoping I'll be back on my lovely Note II before long... :fingers-crossed:
