No one ever reads text written in ALL CAPS either. Which is why all EULAs are written that way.

Re: Jolla C is now a brick
 

Back to thread topic.
What I am thinking, is that it might be possible to switch USB modes, so that the device will expose its NAND thru USB, and allow us to mount it in linux.
Then, following that, we could restore the device partitions, from a copy of a working device. Or, in Jolla C, perhaps from thoise backup partitions.

I didnt test, but perhaps Jolla exposes more modes in this condition. Like it was found for Samnsung devices, which exposed 2 modes, allowing to access the modem, make calls, etc.

Tells how this was done on Samsung devices.
And

Have a exploit that might be modifiable to work (if more modes avail).

Re: Jolla C is now a brick
 

It must be possible to switch between modes. However the Qualcomm Tools didn't make it obvious on how to do so. Judging from the advice from androidunbrick as stated in my post here: https://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?...2&postcount=26

it's necessarry to have the flashable files to get it to fire up EMMC exposure mode again - and without those files it wouldn't be possible. I don't think however, that the mode that exposes EMMC somehow relies on working partition tables or any files from NAND. It would make much more sense if the exposure itself would remain independent and there actually IS a way to achieve what you're suggesting.

I guess without someone with deep technical knowledge in the field, we're a bit stranded :-(

Re: Jolla C is now a brick
 

What I need, is a bricked device ;)

Re: Jolla C is now a brick
 

Where to? :D

Well I would also be extremely careful if my device wasn't bricked. Maybe we succeed switching modes once, but not back to normal. So far I see why you'd need one. I could send mine over if you're keen on experimenting, but I don't see why you'd do it - you get nothing out of it - there's nothing I can offer.

Currently I'm waiting for Jollas reply to my flashing images rant I attached to my support request. James has been relaying that info to the team and is awaiting a proper response. Afterwards I'll see what to do next.

Meanwhile I'll try to tinker with Qualcomm tools again.

Re: Jolla C is now a brick
 

Here's a good topic on qualcomm diag modes and restore, although you need to know russian.

Re: Jolla C is now a brick
 

I had come across that forum, however I know no russian and google translate does a miserable job at tech talk ;) But maybe someone can scan these pages? Thank you for the link!

Re: Jolla C is now a brick
 

Perhaps ask coderus?

Re: Jolla C is now a brick
 

I bricked my Intex fish too. Where can i find the firmware for flashing from pc?

Re: Jolla C is now a brick
 

Maybe this helps:

Re: Jolla C is now a brick
 

Hello everybody,

i just find STOCK ROM for Intex Aqua Fish with all files from Qualcomm, maybe will be useful for your issues with Jolla C, personally i'm not tried.

https://firmwarefile.com/intex-aqua-fish

Fingers crossed :-)

-:Zose:-

Re: Jolla C is now a brick
 

Welcome to TMO!
Isn't firmwarefile.com some click bait site?
It also shows a firmware is available for my Archos 79 Xenon which would be unprecedented ;)

Have you actually downloaded something?
What was the filename?

Edit, right, something is downloading -> 1.45 GB Intex_Aqua_Fish_2.0.2.48_l500d_IN_0.0.1.32.zip

Re: Jolla C is now a brick
 

Well there is content in the .zip :D

Re: Jolla C is now a brick
 

try this take battery out for 10 seconds reinsert while holding down both volume rockers and insert usb install qualcomm port driver on QHSUSB__BULK (if windows 8 8.1 and 10 enable test mode first)_ from hereand use qualcomm flashing utility from the folder to flash a fresh firmware for your jolla c(sorry i own a intex aqua fish and they arent exactly same to be cross compatible with firmware so you need to find firmware on your own) [P.S. the folder isnt actually been made complete as im uploading stuff constantly wait for a little bit for the qualcomm tools to be uploaded must be done by the time you read this ] also refer to this tuitorial for exact steps for qualcomm flashing on sailfish devices(btw theres a slight chance that the imei would be gone so you'd have to rewrite it ive included a tool that allows imei rewriting after flash just in case you have a corrupted imei)

Re: Jolla C is now a brick
 

please note that telephony is differnt in intex aqua fish and jolla c so dont try flashing aqua fish firmware on jolla c

[P.S. the software i included was used by me to fix my aqua fish witch i had bricked on trying to downgrade from 2.1.1.24 to 2.1.0.11 so no guarantees that itll work on a jolla c that's bricked probably of a diffrent reason just dont complain if you hard brick it while trying to install aqua fish firmware i really am just trying to emphasise this and will say it very clearly

DO NOT FLASH AQUA FISH FIRMWARE ON JOLLA C THERE ARE MAJOUR CHANCES THAT YOULL END UP MESSING YOUR PHONE'S TELEPHONY WITH NO HOPE OF FIXING IT

so yea thats all i have to say for now good luck:o ]

Re: Jolla C is now a brick
 

modem firmware can be flashed separately with no issues

Re: Jolla C is now a brick
 

tough where would one find the modem fw for jolla c

Re: Jolla C is now a brick
 

I think Coderus is saying you can use Intex FW, just dont flash modem part ;)

Re: Jolla C is now a brick
 

from jolla repositories. just replace droid-modem-in package with droid-modem-eu one. this is tot a problem. tought part is restoring imei if you break calibration partition.

Re: Jolla C is now a brick
 

imei of qualcomm chips can be written using a the tool i linked in my tools.rar file in my gdrive folder i havent tested it but it has instructions for it might work for the jolla c tough i think even it wont work if you break that partition

Re: Jolla C is now a brick
 

also with the tools you cant really select what to flash and what not unlike for mediatek chipsets where you use a really easier toolkit called sp flash tools

Re: Jolla C is now a brick
 

well the firmware files contain only these not droid-modem-in so im pretty confused can you explain
