Hi Daniel,

Do you have any progress with your i9023?
I have absolutely the same problem, and now don't know what to do.
Any advices will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Ok so I'm aware that the RIFF box now supports GT-i9023 Nexus S which the European non-carrier base SLCD phone. However, I have multiple GT-i9020 T-Mobile Nexus S phones coming my way and I'm wondering if the resurrector has been tested or can be used on the GT-i9020.

If anyone knows the answer that would be great!

Thanks!

If you want, you can test after making a full backup of your phone first. That way you can test without breaking your phone more...

Good point and that is definitely the plan. Will the Samsung partitioning tool work in this scenario does anyone know?

Just make full backup, You dont need to use partition tool in this case.

I think he wanted to know if this plugin works with i9020 backups. Do you think it could??

Hi Legija,

Have you happened to test with GT-i9020 yet?

Update! The GT-i9020 is capable of BRICK REPAIR with the Riff box as well! Just solder the points and flash both the bootloader and recovery under the resurrection option. Be sure to make a full backup of the phone first though just in case.

Also, you will need an adjustable power supply as opposed to using the battery or atleast I did. RIFF kept on picking up over 3.2 volts when it needed 2.8V with the battery. With a lot of tweaking, I was able to get the board down to the 2.80 volts it was looking for and it worked perfect. When finished, put the phone into download mode using a JIG and then flash the appropriate firmware.

Another update, I have successfully resurrected both the GT-i9020T and GT-i9020A. I just wanted people to know that both are dead boot fixable with the RIFF box. Just flash the bootloader AND recovery and you can get back into download mode, and then flash with ODIN.

Hi all!
After repairing bricked phone Samsung I9023 with Riff box IMEI was lost and it is shown as Unknown in the Settings menu.
Also Baseband version is shown as Unknown, though in Fastboot mode Baseband version is shown correctly as I9020XXKD1.

So, my questions:
What could happen?
What should I do to repair lost IMEI?

Any advices very appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
