SHV-E160L Debricking Tool / Qualcomm Tool Pack V2-1

[darkspr1te]

Note to NON SHV-E160L users
This software & this thread is aimed at developers Mainly, Please don't post 3 line request like "my device is bricked , please help" as you will be ignored, if you cant do the research required to provide the right details plus finding the correct files required then this thread is not for you and you should post in the device thread for your device, This program and it's associated files & thread is NOT being actively developed but the thread remains open for user to post more information, additional files, updates from the public etc.
It's not here for lazy people to scream fix my device, can those type of users please speak to your retailer, cell phone service shop.

I will reiterate again, THIS IS A DEVELOPMENT THREAD AND NOT A REQUEST PAGE FOR "fix my device"


PLEASE NOTE: This tool only comes pre-packed with files for the Korean SHV-E160L galaxy note. Usage on other devices requires that you understand the requirements, this includes but not limited to :-

1. 1. Alteration of the scripts to use the files specific to your device
2. 2. Correct HEX and SD-CARD loader also known as sdcard mbn
3. 3. Correct partition information (knowing if it's MBR/GPT or hybrid)
4. 4. Correct bootloaders for your device (SBL1/2/3/ABOOT)

I am not currently doing further development on this tool, it is here for anyone to expand on use how they seem fit so long as the authors involved are given the credit.
Users are welcome to build and post altered versions specific to their device but PLEASE post plenty of information as to what device/model it is for or the post may be deleted to protect other less educated users.

Hi All,
I've updated my Debrick tool to Version 2.
Many Changes to the base code, inclusion of new tools, Almost a one click Linux solution for Qualcomm Development and debricking of Qualcomm devices.
As documented on this thread SHV-E160L home debrick thread I debricked a qualcomm based msm8660 device without using any special devices.
my first tools were internal development and had more bugs than a sewer, so after many hours of work i can now bring this new version to you.

Please do not pm with bugs, POST HERE Only.
This tool currently only supports the SHV-E160L , if users willing to provide the files from their devices I can expand the support of this tool.
in most cases linux is required for this, a ubuntu live cd/flash will work perfectly.


New Feature, Windows Based BACKUP of partitions and bootloaders, ROOT/Python27-windows is required and cannot function without this.
*nix backup coming soon,

Rules for posting backups

Post ONLY the link here, use www.sendspace.com to upload your backup zip (remember to change the .zip filename to reflect your device, example SHV-E160L-16GB.zip )
zip up only the backup folder, not the whole program, right click on backup folder, sent to compressed folder, rename.
this program does not backup personal or device specific data like IMEI number, it only backups the bootloaders, partition table and .pit file for samsung SHV based devices
When Posting links, please include your device details well, a example would be

SHV-E160L 16 GB, 9000lang rom,

The rom part is only so if we a tracing possible backup issues that may be rom specific.
Future backup features will include automatic detection of .mbn partitions based on qualcomm header.

Support for non SHV devices will be slow, but future versions will include other devices.


Well Enjoy,

EDIT: some users are reporting cookie not present error could be fixed by using a winxp/another qpst driver windows driver. this is unconfirmed bu i thought i should mention it. 04-12/2013

Changelog:- V2-2(dev version only - not a public release)

• added command line device/folder parameter, you can now specify a unzip copy of posted bootloaders and it will restore them
• added additional file to specify output sectors based on getpart data, testing option for building partition0.bin by hand based on known simalr devices
• added dev switches for wiriting specified parts only
• added skip aboot option (for now it is specified to skip writing of aboot.mbn, public release will be opposite, you will have to force writing aboot , sbl1/2/4/tz/rpm seems to come as one package, interchangeable as a package, aboot is totally device specific)
  bugs:-
• there is a known bug in the getpartbin.py python program, it cannot handle greater than 29 partitions.

Changelog:- V2-1

• added windows backup.bat program to backup all bootloaders and partition0.bin
• minor changes to code for changing device (current version support only changing of variable $DEVICE, feature will eventually be cmd line based)
• tesing of backup files
  bugs:-
• there is a known bug in the getpartbin.py python program, it cannot handle greater than 29 partitions, and one will to help in python please let me know. I am not the author of the program

Changelog : V2

• Improved error checking*
• automated qdload detection*
• automated qdload hex & .mbn upload
• automated detection of device in sd-card mode*
• user input*
• colours
• major code changes to start support for automatic parition information & collection allowing backup to be one command and upload to a website for distribution & recovery for all
• development documentation
• Code changes to allow expansion to other Qualcomm devices

brixfix V2
=================================
By dakrspr1te ========Doc=V=1====
=================================
Thanks To :-
E:V:A, SLS, JCSullins(Rootz Wiki), Adam Outler, many more, sorry if i've missed you out.

Warning, Although i've tested this tool many times on my own devices, it always has the potential to damage both computer & cell phone device, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!!


This tool is designed to repair SHV-E160L Korean Galaxy Note 1 based on the MSM8660 & MDM9600 Qualcomm Chips
It Only works with devices that are stuck in QDLOAD mode or 05c6:9008 as the PID/VID
It uses Tool/info Written By Others as well as myself.


Namely :-

qdload - http://github.com/jcsullins/qdloader
getpartbin.py - http://blog.csdn.net/su_ky/article/details/7773273
hex2bin - hex2bin.sourceforge.net


Instructions
############


connect Qualcomm based device to usb port on linux PC, not tested under windows via USB redirection,
on command line run
sudo ./brickfix

Follow on screen instructions, tool will detect device in QDLOAD mode (05c6:9008) and switch to DMSS protocol, upload a hex (converted to bin for this purpose)
the hex is then executed and the device switches to Streaming Protocol, at this point we write a .mbn file to the internal emmc chip, at the end of the emmc write process the device then reboots
after the reboot re-running brixfix with detect the device in the second stage for repair , the device's emmc is accssable as a sd-card, we then write back the damaged parts of the bootchain,
at a minimum you must write a new partition table or the device will always boot in sd-card mode, WARNING, failure to write the rest of the boot chain could leave your device in a situation
which give only black-screen, no usb enumeration, dead. The only way around that is jtag, or finding the Boot resistor which switches the device back to QDLOAD mode, or emergency boot.
goto http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1914359 for further details.


Come give me thanks on XDA if this tool helped you

Re: SHV-E160L Debricking Tool / Qualcomm Tool Pack

I'll take a deeper look at it later.

You should note that qualcomm chipsets do not have support for USB 3.0. While the linux USB 3.0 driver is backwards compatible with the older standards, it is still buggy so it's best to only use USB 2 and lower ports.

Also, you should be using a 32bit Linux distro with a kernel from 2012 or later.

Will this work on SHV-E160S??

Two days ago I tried to flash the 'N7000XXLSA_N7000OXALSA_DBT' into a SHV-E160S.. Odin failed two times
When tried to reboot the phone nothing appears(just black screen). When i connect it to my PC, windows device manger shows ' QHSUSB DLOAD'..

Can this tool fix my problem? Please help me..

Probably. You'll need Linux. If you don't have linux, go grab the above mention ubuntu live cd (I suggest version 12.04 32bit)

As I'm not familiar with that device I don't know exactly what will need to be fixed.

Please state specs of your model, you flashed the wrong firmware which has crashed your pit/partition and your running a boot chain for another device, which is failing due to signing issues
By specs I mean device size, original few etc, we can recover it, I am sure of that, I just need some info , don't jump the gun, if we have your device files already it would be a simple case of running ./brixfix.sh I was able to recover all my files from my device, same would be you all sure, but you WILL need a copy of Ubuntu as SLS said

What files do you need from the ATT Note? I know what you have done, but don't understand it, but sure as hell would like to help !!!!!!!!!!

I have Ubuntu...(Yay !) ..... let me know the steps to dump files.

PS: Is there any chance of getting Tegrak kernel or ROMs for ATT Note. Maybe I should ask what is the status of the Tegrak kernel etc.? I see it on the app store, but I know its not for ATT Note. I remember Tegrak from when I used to use Voodoo Sound that Tegrak kernel supported. But I have never found anything comparable to voodoo sound for our more 'advanced' phones like the note.

PS: Does this make any sense to you ? Or am I rambling ?

SHV-E160S 32GB, Thats all I know about this..
I'm downloading ubuntu right now. Then I'll try this tool on my device

Re: SHV-E160L Debricking Tool / Qualcomm Tool Pack

This tool works only on the 16gb right now, as soon as I can get a 32gb partition and S about file I will extend it

As soon as a user uploads a backup for the 160S (16 or 32GB depending on your device) I will include it in a repair file.

you can find all tegrak roms/kernels via my clean korean rom link in my signature,not sure on ATT but i've ported a few ATT kernels to the 160L so it's possible to convert back. *nix backup coming soon but for those that want to jump the gun, just run the same adb commands as in backup.bat and also the python command. please note they will download the files to the current directory so make a directory first, cd into it and refer back to the scripts. to run python partition0.bin script just use python ../getpartbin.py to create a partition0.bin file in current directory.
root is required for backup, python27 is required for windows backup (13mb file, included)

I found some useful links (I hope) to the understanding of some mechanisms useful in debricking of devices using Qualcomm chipsets. I hope this may help generally, even to unbrick the i8150 (Ancora)!
