29.02.2012 Samsung Wave 3 GT-S8600 Unbrick – Boot repair supported, World First ! ! !
Resurrecting Samsung S8600 is easy. Phone is auto powered on with USB Data Cable connected to the PC while battery is connected.
Please note, MSM8255T is dual core chipset – it has ARM11 and Qualcomm Scorpion cores. During power on sequence only ARM11 core is visible on the JTAG chain. If boots are not completely damaged and it comes up to initializing of the Scorpion core then Scorpion core appears on the JTAG chain too. This will shift ARM11 from TAP0 into TAP1 position on the chain, while current resurrector has the ARM11 core hardcoded at TAP0 position. Thus make sure to establish JTAG connection in the time range while Scorpion core is not visible yet.
To resurrect Samsung S8600:
- Solder JTAG cable to Samsung S8600 JTAG pads;
- Make sure Samsung S8600 is selected in the list of models;
- Insert battery and connect USB Data cable;
- If you use only battery, press Power On key;
- Click Resurrect button;
- Wait till software signals a successful operation completion;
- Disconnect power supply, de-solder JTAG wires;
Now phone is in bootable condition, that is, even if it does not start up normally you can flash it using known flashing methods.
To enter download mode:
- Disconnect PC cable;
- Insert battery;
- Hold both ‘Volume Down’ and ‘Menu’ keys and press ‘Power ON’ button.

RIFF JTAG – JTAG Manager v1.40 Released
by admin on Feb.29, 2012, under News
29.02.2012 JTAG Manager v1.40 Released
Whats new:
- Solved the problem with download of updates. Now no more nasty ‘Out of Disk Space’ error!!!Some users could experience this kind of error during download of large files (30MB and more). These errors were often with Wi-Fi configurations where certain routers dind’t handled passive ports FTP data transfers properly.
- Added check if JTAG Manager is running with administrator rights (in case it is installed in Program Files location).
This solves issues for older operating systems (Windows XP) which have no UAC and no manifest means controlling elevation of application rights. Thus – now if the JTAG Manager is started without administator rights it will restart itself with request to run it “as administrator”. - Embedded font for text message window on JTAG Read/Write page.
- Improved displaying of DLL version information: If FileVersion info is available JTAG Manger will display it rather than the internal version supplied by DLL.
This simplifies version tracking for us. - Download speed limit is increased to 250kb/s

by admin on Feb.25, 2012, under News
25.02.2012 JTAG Manager 1.39 released
Whats new:
- Fixed bug which caused poping-up of ‘Out of Free Disk space’ window error while real error was just a failed HASH.
- eMMC chip size is now represented not only in bytes but additionally, for visual convenience, in Mega/Giga bytes
- Addres/Length fields on DCC Read/Write and JTAG Read/Write pages are changed into custom GUI representation: now 12(or 8)-digit hex values are shown in more human ‘readable’ way.
- For more convenient work with the DCC Read/Write page features there was added standard lengths list, so user can set ‘human readable’ length value instead of manual typing of correct hexadecimal length value. For this just click combo box near Data Length field and select a desired length.
Now its possible to select any value from 1MB to 16GB, plus, in case of writing file, You can simply use “File Size” to automatically read opened file size and use it’s length.
- Added balloon hints to suggest what to do in case user has ‘DLL was not Accepted’ issue.
- Selected resurrector DLL version is shown in logging windows now along with Model name, for example:
“Selected Resurrector: [NoName x1234 V1.00]“ - Added “Search for DLL” button on the Resurrection page:
As RIFFBOX grows up on number of supported devices, searching visually through the big lists of supported models for a definite device name became a tiresome procedure.
Now user can search for required model simply typing part of model name in the search dialog (for this select “Search for DLL for this Model Name” and type some part of device name you’re looking for)Example:
.
.
Besides this, there is feature to search for resurrectors compatible with specific IDCODE. For example, if you have a not supported device in hands with ID = 0xXXXXXXXX, you can search for DLLs which work with such ID and try to connect your device using one of such ‘compatible’ DLLs. (for this select “Search for DLL with same IDCODE” and type IDCODE you’re looking for)Example:
.
PLEASE NOTE!!! New resurrectors data base format is used in 1.39 version, thus
upon first start the JTAG MANGER WILL RESTART 1-5 TIMES in order to re-load and re-fresh all existing resurrector DLLs.

Resurrector will reflash radio’s boot zone and will re-write PDA’s SPL to 1.04.0000 version. Additionally to SPL and Radio zones, the zone which contains Model ID is re-flashed too. Thus after resurrection phone will have Model ID = ‘PG0510000’.
There is option to reflash BOOT and RECOVERY zones.
