[Q] Omnia 7 and QPST

Hi together,
i've got a question about using QPST with my OMNIA 7.
The EFS-Explorer and NV-Dump (Backup) works fine, but every time I start the MemoryDebugApp the phone displays a ARM9 fatal error (until I remove the accu).
Does anybody know how i could start this mode correctly?
(QPST want to start the download mode on my omnia, but i've got the version without "volumne-up, power and camera" -> Download Mode).
Could the USB-cable trick help?
Another question: could i read user-infos like passwords or the telephonebook with QPST?! (a guy in this forum claims that he can do it, but i dont know how )
Thanks and greetings,

I confirm that the QPST works but since I have handset with the same bootloader as you so we share the same problems.

Interestingly enough, I noticed that QPST detected my device with Qualcomm QSD8260 Version 2. Whereas Omnia 7 is Qualcomm QSD8250 Chip.

Ok, I jigged my phone replaced the ROM and my bootloader was updated. I can use the 3 button combo now. QPST Memory Debug still faces the same problem and even when I hold down the combo after getting the prompt from the application that the phone will be put in download mode. I suppose, nothing much could be done using QPST, for now, the only hope to retrieve the download mode is the USB Jig as I have tried every possible way of getting to it otherwise.

Sorry, I was in holiday
Yesterday I finished my USB Cable and will try it out tomorrow! New day, new luck
Hear us,

Have tested several ways, but no one works... :/
I got a NV RAM image and some other stuff, but the MemoryDebug App doesn't work (ARM9 fatal error and so on).
Do you got new results?!

No mate, that does not work for me either no matter what I do.

Error?!
hi,
If you have so big problems, sent it to a Samsung Repair Partner. They can repair ether if its locked or flashed, they don't care. It's also free.

The phone isn't broken
The ARM9 fatal error appears when i start up my MemoryDebug App and switch into the download - mode. After a restart (pull of the battery) the phone works fine again
I want to read the Memory to get some user passwords and other sensible stuff (a guy in the "Windows Phone 7 Dev n Hacking" forum have succesfully done it, but don't tell me how )

I've got a cable with the resistor, but my omnia 7 doesn't work with it... :/

du nimmst dir n Micro USB B Kabel und lötest 301k-Ohm zwischen Pin 4 und 5 (5 = GND, 4 = unbelegt). Dann nimmst du dir dein Gerät, schaltest es aus und packst den Stecker rein. Danach SOLLTE er in den Download Modus gehen - bei mir tut sich allerdings gar nichts.

Yes, I made my own JIG and it worked right away, I even flashed a custom ROM and the bootloader is now fixed.

Nice!
Then: could you please test if this works:
Put USB Jig into phone and start memorydebug app -> the phone change into download mode (with jig it should be the "correct" download mode).
Then you should be able to read a RAM image
does this works?

Lolz, now that is way too hard to do, since I could either put the jig or I could plugin my USB cable to run the memory debug program.
Now, what I must do to go ahead with your experimentation.

Ok, then. I tried what you asked but the program does not even detect the phone as a compatible device. It just doesn't detect it as a device.

Arrrr okay
My jig is a little bit more professional (an eletronic engineer has done it for me - the complete cable is still together (i will send you a photo that evening)).
Today or tomorrow i will get another WP7 device (htc trophy) and test QPST MemDebug App with it!

Hum, does the QPST Config App detect your phone as a device? (if the configuration ist correct, the device will be detected as a modem on a COM-Port)

Ok then, we'll have a look at the picture you told about. So, far I have had no success with the debug app. In the beginning it all works ok but when the app asks to put the phone in download mode and once it is put in that mode then it just isn't available in the device list.

[Q] X8 bricked or not?

Help me (and my son and his X8) please!
My son rooted his X8, and at last it just shows the "Sony Ericsson" text.
He did the following (wrote to me ):
- root it with SuperOneClick
- reboot
- intsall RootExplore.apk
- reboot
- root.jag confused
- reboot
- install Xrecovery
- reboot
- update it to CMWrecovery
- made a backup to Sd card
- factory reset (accidentally)
- recover
- reboot
... and it doesn't work (bootloop? I just read it in this therads.)
What could he do?

Did he upgraded the baseband? to xx15?
Oh and if the device is not working, i mean, it cant turn on (just se logo and reboot) . He should repair his X8 with Sony Ericsson PC companion.
Cheers.

did you have baseband 015.if it is bricked you can use pc companion or seus (sony ericsson update service) it will probaly break the root because it is a manual update with sony ericsson but it should help

Thank you, we will give it a try.

Thanks. My son rebuild it with PCC to 2.1. It worked well.
And then he tried to upgrade it to 2.3, so it has gone to "can't turn on, because it turning off everytime", some panic, and he rebuilded it's with SEUS to 2.1.
I sad "now just relax don't try another root please",,,
So that's all.
Thanks a lot.

No, its my attempt at humour when posting from my phone:silly:
@pikeylfc can you do this for me and let me know what happens.
Download the TL firmware from the all in one thread and flash it. However, instead of holding the volume down button (Normal for flashtool) can you hold BOTH the volume UP and DOWN button.
Tell me what happens in flashtool and on your phone please.

OMG it worked, thank you I did not know you had a third way to update the phone SW I worked my little baby 4x returned to normal thank you Topic Solved.

[Q] Wrong TA Partition Restore

i've restored TA Partition my Sony Z Ultra on my Sony Z1 by wrong
and z1 now is dead .. just red led when i connect it to pc
i tried to flash it via SETOOLS box and it gives me
error while uploading hdr
any solution please ?? :crying:

Nope, it's properly bricked

Sony will know this since minute one
I sometimes imagine their staff at how they read this forum and laugh their asses off...
Even if they replace the phone it is simpler for them to replace the phone than to investigate the issue )
Do someone on this forum even thinks that if sony whant's to find out the cause of a phone's brick they cannot ? They are finding the exact cause of microchip failing and the causes and they are not finding the cause for a simple partition with wrong data that should never fail on a memory that it is OK?
Plus they have signs, on a hard brick i understand that it will double flash the red led ) (did someone thought that they MADE the red flash for this simple reason? to know when the phone has been tampered with?)

@Killer2k8 even if Sony do so, You made a mistake with your phone and there is no way to resurrect it, or it was a gift from somebody from your family or you spend half of your salary, and you bricked the phone just to get root, the last chance is to play Stupid. (and I don't advice nobody to break the law)

Ask help on the guys from SETools. Ask them to help you locate the testpoint of your device(you need to open the back portion of your device for this though). Once you find it you're lucky then... Get a linux OS on your PC, mount your phone's partition and flash back the correct TA partition. Although yea the level of difficulty on this process is "Expert level" so good luck.
My explanation is just simple but I tell you it's alot harder when you do it.

I'd say that you would need to send it off for repair, sounds like a brick, i'd say that they'll do a straight swap for a new device.
