When I try to read the memory under the dcc read/write tab, I get this:

Resurrection sequence started.
Establish communication with the phone...OK
Initializing internal hardware configuration...OK
Uploading resurrector data into memory...OK
Starting communication with resurrector...OK

Detected an Initialized FLASH1 Chip, ID: 0x0011/0x0100 (016G94, 0x0003AB400000 Bytes = 14.68 GB)
Detected an Initialized FLASH2 Chip, ID: 0x0011/0x0100 (016G94, 0x000000400000 Bytes = 4.00 MB)

Looking for the RIFF BOX DCCLoader USB Interface Port...FAILED
The DCCLoader USB Interface is not found. Communication continues over the DCC Interface

Reading MCU address space from 0x000000000000 to 0x0000FFFFFFFF
Failed to receive answer to READ command.

Any ideas what this could be? I have been getting a lot of no response from riff box errors. i dont think my leads are too long, maybe 5" long.

THANK YOU! I have managed to get it up and running in download mode, but when I try to flash in odin, it flashes all the way to the end and then i get secure check fail : system! not sure what this means. I'm not sure which firmware was on the device prior to all the problems

powerup · 03-18-2014, 20:03

its only flashing all the way to the end with the MF3 firmware. is it possible to flash firmware directly with riff box?

red_eagle · 03-18-2014, 20:44

secure check fail means downgrade which is not allowed.... flash the latest firmware provided by samfirmware

powerup · 03-19-2014, 01:49

what firmware is there that is newer than mf3?

powerup · 03-19-2014, 02:55

I got it to flash to kitkat with the one click tool but it will only flash the galaxy s4 screen for a second and then nothing. still only have access to download mode

powerup · 03-20-2014, 00:11

Any ideas? i'd really like to not be out 230$ on this phone! like i said, it goes to the galaxy s4 splash screen then immediately shuts off. Im really stumped.
