![]() ![]() That didn’t work out, but i had prepared for that with a plan B, the fuse. I removed the xOM5 resistor and tried to remount it at the lower position using the hot air tool. I then proceeded to a lab with a solder rework station. I opened up the phone removed the EM shield. Just a few points yeah, move a resistor from one location to another, or remove it and solder a wire bridge but the resistor is so small and the soldering pads are at a tight location.I looked for a brand new solder tip, some flux and tweezers. This is because the kind of soldering required here is quite incredible for it to be just a software hack. One of the corrections i thought i was going to make before starting was to rename the whole thing in my mind, software based resurrection to ‘hardware and software based resurrection’. But all the software tools are provided… why not? so today(22nd Nov,2012) I decided it was the day to do it. I read the thread like twice before fully making up my mind to try the hack. He actually unbricked a phone in the video so i got interested. I checked online and was almost ordering one when I stumbled upon yet another interesting video by Adam Outler on his i9000 Development Platform, AKA UnBrickable Mod and Software Based Resurrection post. So i am in Lund now for like 3 weeks and no one with a riffbox and am so busy. ![]() I couldnt find anyone within Nairobi with a riffbox to borrow from, and since i was travelling in a few days, i thought i might just get it here. The first thing from googling that I landed on was the Riffbox solution. We both thought i’ll probably re-use the screen… i wanted to try and resurrect it to full functionality though. ![]() Having known me for a hardware guy, mostly just talks, he handed me his phone. ![]() as usual with devs, he flashed a lot of stuff in the Galaxy S I9000. He has been developing for several devices, among them some in the Samsung Galaxy family. ![]()
