Bug for unlocking is fixed in Qualcomm MSM7227.

Repair with Riff, restore backup. Give it back to customer or unlock via IMEI.

Hello.
You need to write back to phone original SBL and TA ("U20a_03-11-2011_13-20-35.BKP"). You can't write Octopus Box SE software backup file with RIFF box. You need to contact us and give us backup file. Then we will prepare "*.bin" file which you can write to your phone with Jtag tool that You have.

yozh · 11-04-2011, 16:32

hello

ill upload my backup, but i dont have any jtag tool, i didnt knew there was a risk that this could happend, if there were i wouldnt even try, i thought your tool was fully tested as theres no warning...
thats why i didnt try with other tools as they indeed warn people.

anyways, im in big trouble with *******r now so thats the solution you can give me?

i basically paid to kill my phone

Attention to all Octopus SE users!

We have faced one unpredictable problem that can't be fixed at the moment. It turns out that some of the latest Sony Ericsson MSM7227 CPU based cell phones (E10i, E15i, U20i, E10a, E15a, U20a) have fixed BOOTROM, which leads to certain problems with those mobiles. If you choose to Unlock or Repair IMEI you will most certainly kill your phone.
Unfortunately, for the moment there is no possible way to be sure whether the phone has fixed BOOTROM or not. So, please, do all operations with Sony Ericsson MSM7227 CPU based cell phones at your own risk. Since it's not our fault the credits for operations that lead to phone malfunction will not be returned!
If you've killed your phone with Unlock or Repair IMEI operation, you can resurrect it with JTAG Box only, using "*.BKP" file from "C:\Program Files\GsmServer\Octopus_SE\BACKUP\". Backup file contains original phone's SBL and TA.

hi this is support thread to my problem, already talked to support, please try not to jump into other people´s threads, regarding your post, the warning appeared today with the release of octopus v1.0.4, i did my phone yesterday with v1.0.3 and of course there was not a warning, anyway thanks for trying to help and give info but please respect other people threads specially support ones, because very often support people get confused.

thanks tho...

If You have no any Jtag tool and have no friends which have Jtag tool You can send us your phone. We will repair it and send it back to You. You should pay only for delivery.
Also we have already took back to You 10 credits.

monrad · 11-08-2011, 23:29

Hi, I also killed one U20a using this method. Does anybody has U20a PINOUT and what method should I use to resurrect with RIFF box? I have the .BKP file. Any help will be appreciated.

monrad · 11-09-2011, 00:57

Ok but that's not helpful.

Right now I have RIFF BOX + U20a DEAD. I can connect U20a to riff box, I tried to repair boot but it didn't work. I can only choose x10 mini model since RIFF box doesn't have x10mini pro model, but it should work.

Can anyone tell me how to restore SBL + TA from .BAK file using RIFF BOX? That'd be very helpful. Since I consider myself a n00b, I need specific instructions. I need the address and what options to tick or untick.

I hope you understand,
Thanks.

Octopus box · 11-09-2011, 07:05

Please send us to PM your backup, we will prepare bin file that You need to write for repairing.

monrad · 11-09-2011, 13:18

PM sent, waiting for BIN files
